"When Murshid Sam was in New York...staying at the house of a mureed there, he saw the Bible open and he says, "Oh you are reading that...everywhere it says God, you should strike through it and write Breath. God is Breath, he said."
- Murshid Wali Ali Meyer

God is Breath is a two-year study program which involves forming a "prayer wheel" group of seven mureeds and one facilitator who each make a commitment to perform the prescribed practices on a daily basis and then to meet once a month via Zoom to support each other in the deepening of their practice.

Visit the God is Breath web page for more information about the new series of classes developed by Sheikh Muiz Brinkerhoff, longtime student of Murshid Wali Ali Meyer.

If you are here, you have registered for the Esoteric Studies class "God is Breath". These classes were offered by Murshid Wali Ali Meyer in 2013 at the  Mentorgarden, to a group of committed mureeds.  This web page provides access to the materials for Class 1, recorded on February 9, 2013.

The materials for each class consist of complete video segments viewable on YouTube, audio-only recordings in MP3 format, and text documents in PDF format. Practices are assigned to bring the teachings on breath ever more deeply into your heart and your life.  Experience, not concepts, will have actual effect.  Each class is intended to be absorbed over at least a month of study and practice.

Segements have been carefully selected from the full-day Saturday class, to be used for individual study or by "virtual sangha" study groups.  You will find these materials listed below.  Following those, the full-day video and soundtrack productions are also available.

You will find extended periods of silence at times, during meditations or where practices are held on the breath. Leaving the silent space in the recordings is intended to allow the student to take in the full experience of the class.  Time stamps will be found beneath the YouTube video by clicking on the words "Show more," that will allow you to skip forward or backward in the video.  For the virtual sangha, the mp3 audio-only soundtrack is divided into named tracks, which will allow you to easily start at the desired track.
