Cleansing Breath, Open Heart: A Meditation on Forgiveness and Unity

In this contemplative session of Songs of One Breath, join Jilani in a gentle yet deep practice of inner purification, acceptance, and loving presence. Beginning with the Sufi chant Astaghfirullah—“I seek refuge in the cleansing presence of Allah”—this episode offers listeners a space to wash away inner heaviness like a spiritual shower.
Drawing wisdom from Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan and ancient Zen texts, Jilani invites us to explore how our attachments and unmet desires shape our struggles. Through simple breath meditations, mantras, and embodied chanting, we’re encouraged to honour both our own inner light and that of those around us.
A beautiful Namaste chant, reflections on divine presence, and a tender Zikr (remembrance) of La ilaha illa’llah guide us toward dissolving boundaries between self and other, form and spirit.
This session is an invitation to soften, to breathe forgiveness, and to remember our shared belonging in the one universal breath.

It Would Have Been Enough: A Gratitude Meditation Across Traditions

In this special gratitude-focused episode of Songs of One Breath, we draw on chants and prayers from Sufi, Christian, Jewish, and universal spiritual traditions. Beginning with Arabic words of praise and gratitude—Ya Shakur, Ya Hamid—the session then weaves in reflections on poetry by Gerard Manley Hopkins, honouring the beauty of creation as a doorway to gratitude.
Through simple breathing practices and meditative focus, you'll be invited to centre your awareness on just one object of gratitude, holding it gently in your heart as a source of blessing. The ancient Jewish refrain Dayenu—"it would have been enough"—becomes a grounding reminder that even one small grace can sustain us.
With embodied chants, quiet breath work, and universal prayers, this session offers a spacious, interfaith thanksgiving meditation for all who need to return to the healing ground of gratitude.

This Is Your Home: A Gratitude Meditation on Elemental Breath

In this gentle and grounding episode of Songs of One Breath, you are invited into a space of deep gratitude and reconnection. Beginning with simple chants of thanks and moving into reflections on a recent personal experience, your guide shares how gratitude can anchor us even when life feels uncertain.
Through elemental breathing—earth, water, fire, and air—you’ll explore your belonging to the natural world, remembering that your body itself is formed from the same minerals, waters, warmth, and air that sustain life everywhere. Each breath connects you not only to the present moment but to all beings across time who share the same breath.
The session closes with a song inspired by the shamans of the Arctic: “Don’t be afraid of the universe; this is your home.” A gentle reminder for the anxious soul—wherever you are, you belong.

Life Is Calling You: A Breath Meditation for Listening and Awakening

In this gentle episode of Songs of One Breath, we explore the sacred act of listening: to life, to breath, and to the quiet wisdom within.

Together, we greet the rising sun, connect with Mother Earth, and reflect on life’s simple, persistent question: How is life calling you?

Use Us for the Purpose that Thy Wisdom Chooses: A Meditation on Guidance

In this reflective episode of Songs of One Breath, we explore the theme of spiritual guidance through chant, meditation, and gentle body prayers. Beginning with a Sufi-inspired chant—"Use us for the purpose that Thy wisdom chooses"—listeners are invited to rest in silence, drop into the wisdom of their own bodies, and seek connection with the spirit of guidance.
Drawing from Sufi mysticism and Shiva breath practices, this session blends contemplative meditation, breath awareness, and healing chants like "Let me do Thy will, Allah". A Hebrew prayer, Hineni—“Here I am”—encourages us to offer ourselves in service and attentiveness to divine purpose.
This episode includes simple body movements to accompany the chants, creating an embodied prayer experience. Take this meditation into your week as a quiet mantra:“Guide me to the purpose for which I am born on the earth.”
A spacious, gentle practice for anyone seeking clarity, healing, and inner listening.
