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.
