Devavani Meditation
Devavani is the divine voice which moves and speaks through the mediator, who becomes an empty vessel, a channel. This meditation is a latihan of the tongue. It relaxes the conscious mind so deeply that, when done last thing at night, is sure to be followed by a profound sleep. There are four stages of 15 minutes each. Keep your eyes closed throughout.
- First stage
- 15 minutes
Sit quietly, preferably with gentle music playing.
- Second stage
- 15 minutes
Start making nonsense sounds, for example ‘la ... La ... La’, and continue until unfamiliar word-like sounds arise. These sounds need to come from the unfamiliar part of the brain used as a child, before words were learned. Allow a gentle conversational intonation; do not cry or shout, laugh or scream.
- Third stage
- 15 minutes
Stand up and continue to speak, allowing your body to move softly in harmony with the sounds. If your body is relaxed the subtle energies will create a latihan outside your control.
- Fourth stage
- 15 minutes
Lie down, be silent and still.
