Hello everyone and welcome back to my page here on Insight Timer. My name is Dylan and I'm one of the meditation teachers here. The perspective this morning is about bold communications and how do we ask for what we want without confusing our inner genie of manifestation? How do we really ask for the things that will help us to grow to move the needle of our growth and development, Healing, And transformation? Well it turned out it's pretty common for people to say things like I want to be successful or I want to feel better or I wish to have more time in the day, Right? We maybe even use some of these phrases for ourselves in the flow or the rhythm of our existence. What I'm saying is that we can specify a little bit more in greater depth and greater detail. We can amplify and enrich and develop our desires a little bit more. What we're registering with the cosmic kitchen if you will. So if you picture being in a restaurant and sort of speaking to the waiter or the waitress and just saying hey I would like the soup of the day. What they're going to say is well let me inform you, Right? So it's more complicated than just the soup of the day. The soup of the day today is broccoli cheddar and then you might say okay well is it super salty or you know does it come with this or does it come with that? It's the idea of specifying to develop what it is that we're asking for through the grammar of energy so that we can transmit a signal to the universe so that we can be understandable to the universe so that we can co-create so that we can develop and fashion common ground with our higher self our spiritual aspect of us that is in motion and animating through different intelligences. The idea that we're co-creating with the universe the idea that we are a collaborator and so that we want to develop and create clear articulation of what it is that we're asking for. So if we say something along the lines of I want to be successful, Right? That's you know I want to be successful. Well it turns out this is kind of broad and general maybe even a little vague and nebulous. What would be more specific and more developed of us to say would be I'm really looking to move the needle of my growth in the area of mental discernment by saying no because historically I've said yes when I meant to say no so let me you know universe you know cosmic kitchen inner genie can we can we create some experiences some opportunities for me to really heal that part of me that mental discernment that I'm looking to heal my ability to say no right now because I know that if I do that then I will sort of create opportunities to step into greater levels of success at work for example. So if you were to just say I want to be successful well great I mean so do I so I mean so do we all I mean that maybe in some level but let's get a little bit more granular let's get a little bit more precise. So let's go about the business of saying what what growth cycle sits behind your journey of increasing success and abundance and what are the things that you require to move the needle on that right so if you're working on clear communication I'm looking for I would like to have I want to create I intend to manifest opportunities for clear communication opportunities to practice clear communication at work such that I don't know the next week the next month you may find yourself in an email exchange with somebody where you're like oh maybe I'm going to proofread this email before I send it you know maybe I'm going to practice clear communication in so doing creating the road and paving the road towards getting greater success and achievement of your relevant goals in the work context. So let's take another example that says I wish to have more time I wish I had more time okay so this is not a very empowered perspective one of the things that's really can be very effective within the language and the syntax of manifestation and the grammar of energy is to actually develop power phrases right I choose to create time to practice my violin I choose to create time to garden I choose to create time to meditate I choose to heal my relationship to time through contemplative inquiry I choose to heal my relationship to time through journaling right so those are more empowered phrases they're more action phrases action-oriented more specific more condensed more concrete if we were to go into saying hey you know I wish I had more time but what is your what is the cosmic sort of inner genie sort of waiter waitress gonna say well again that's like saying I want the soup of the day if you put that in as an order to the kitchen they might get confused well which soup we've got seven soups of the day right now you know and I don't know there's varying levels of spiciness and did you want salt and did you want a cracker and what is your side beverage you know what have you right so we really want to tee up the universe to be able to help us we want to be able to make an offering of clarity within registering our wish so that we can articulate structure articulate create healing programs that we can structure that we can develop our desire let's take one more I want to feel better I want to feel better well first of all let's understand the anatomy of what's getting in your way of the specific goal the specific emotion that underlies that word better what do we mean do we do we mean more balanced boundaries do we mean more articulated uh sense of self do we do are we talking about um you know creating space so that we can have time to pursue self-care or self-soothing I want to feel better okay well how about instead of not instead but you know workshopping that so that it's less general and less vague and let's get it a little bit more condensed and a little bit more specific a little bit more precise instead of you know with the workshop I want to feel better into I intentionally design experiences to practice cardiovascular fitness okay I am intentionally designing and in co-creating and I'm putting out to the universe experiences and opportunities that made some of them might be challenging I might have a little hesitation or fear about doing cardio but I'm intentionally articulate I'm really advancing this intention and putting it on the table to create common ground so that the cosmic kitchen can effectively fulfill that intention wish desire hope dream so when we are clear about what we want through the grammar of energy which is what we're talking about within specificity to register our wish dreams and manifestations we create alignment we create clarity and maybe even a relief because we no longer have to sort of spin our wheels to wonder it was like was that clear enough was that am I putting that out there in a way that is clear you know so when we when we become a vibrational match when we're able to match right our our our desires with the outcomes when we match it it's through the language through this process of developing our desire through clarifying condensing specifying and creating precision that we are able to communicate boldly with our higher self the universe the cosmos with life itself you know co-create with life itself the phrasing of that is up to you and how you align with this and by the way as with all the things that I put out please take what resonates and leave the rest if something does not resonate with you on this talk it's not mandatory that you take it uh take everything with a grain of salt again back to that um analogy of the soup of the day you you are the one who specifies the particulars and to get clear on the precision within what you're asking for and the key perspective here again is if you if you find or if you discover if you notice that your wish your manifestation is a little bit general a little bit broad a little bit spread out there is this invitation within the talk today to actually kind of condense it if you if you feel called to do so to specify within precision so that you can structure it so that you have um a meaningful entrance point for your co-creator which is life for your co-collaborator which is the universe
