Gibberish Meditation

This cathartic method invites you to go consciously crazy, shaking loose the mind’s habit of thinking in words and releasing what is pent up in the body. Distinct from the gentle Devavani meditation, this is vigorous and expressive. The term gibberish is traced to the Sufi mystic Jabbar, who spoke in no language at all—only pure, meaning-free sounds. In the same spirit, you are encouraged to speak nonsense and move as the energy demands, without censorship.

The first stage breaks the grid of continual verbalization by replacing familiar words with sounds, while allowing the body to express fully—crying, shouting, flailing, or whatever arises—without gaps. The second stage is a deep grounding: lying on the belly, you let each out-breath merge you into the earth beneath, settling the stirred energies into quiet presence.
