Ask The Universe For What You Want, Then Let It Go

In life we are told the Universe is abundant. And yes it is! But because it is, if your energetic and spiritual vibration isn't in the right place, you will attract an abundance of what you don't want. In this episode, I break down how to attract more of what you want through specificity, yet also releasing and letting it go.

Transcript

Hey folks,

Thank you so much for joining me here today for this new podcast.

So glad first,

Let me just start off by saying so glad to be here on Insight Timer,

So glad to be offering this podcast here on Insight Timer.

I was initially hosting my podcast for the first two seasons on a few other platforms,

Which I can't say because Insight Timer,

They are sticklers about not doing any other promotions of what you're doing outside of the work that you do on Insight Timer.

So I can't say what those platforms were.

However,

Regardless of that,

So glad that I'm able to offer now my podcast here on Insight Timer.

So thanks so much for being here.

I will be offering a lot more podcasts here on Insight Timer.

I believe under Insight Timer,

They're probably under the talks section of Insight Timer.

So in addition to meditations that I have that are on Insight Timer,

In addition to the courses that I have,

Which one should be coming out hopefully within the next month,

Which will be called How to Achieve Greatness During Global Upheaval to sort of help people move past these moments of global change to find moments of success with things that are happening across the world and the globe.

In addition to that,

Just glad that I'm glad to be here on Insight Timer and to offer this podcast.

So this podcast in many ways is my internal ramblings about things,

Whether it might be inspirational,

Might be spiritual,

Or it just might just be me going off and saying things that are sometimes in my mind.

But I realize that sometimes the things that go on in my mind are also very much connected to like,

This thing happened to me and I learned something from this experience.

So I want to share it with others because maybe they can benefit from it too.

So this is one of those episodes.

This one here is talking about asking for what you want,

But also be specific.

What do I mean?

Usually we're told things like,

The universe is abundant.

Anything is possible.

Just like put it out there,

It'll happen.

Okay,

Yeah,

That's true.

In many ways,

Universe is abundant.

Anything is possible.

However,

If you make yourself open to every and anything,

Sometimes you get a lot of nothing or you get opportunities that come your way that really aren't aligned to your purpose and that aren't aligned to things that you really want to do.

So I'm using myself as an example.

So of course I'm here on Insight Timer.

I do meditations for people here on Insight Timer,

But also with other organizations and privately.

I also have my own wellness practice in regards to doing energy healing work or hypnotherapy or aromatherapy or sound therapy,

Various trainings and certifications in this and grateful to have these.

But in addition to some of those things that I mentioned I'm doing,

I also have another life that I've had for more than a decade in the arts.

My artistic work has tended to be within choreographing.

So dancing,

Choreographing,

Dance teaching.

My passion though with the arts has always lied within choreography and the creation of dance for professional dancers.

That's always been my passion.

And people say,

Oh,

Artists,

They're starving artists and all that stuff.

And let me tell you,

It was a real thing for me.

I mean,

I used to be out here starving,

Literally,

Trying to pursue my art many years ago.

I'm glad that I'm not there now.

But I also realized for me,

Like,

In wanting to pursue choreography and even other artistic things that I enjoy,

Like acting,

For me,

I was always taught,

Well,

The universe is abundant.

So just be open to things that come.

And I was open.

And I was open to things that came,

But it wasn't things that I really enjoyed.

So for example,

Something that I've tended to do a lot of is dance teaching.

Now grateful for the opportunity to dance teach and know that's something that I can do very well,

But that wasn't really my passion.

And I was getting a lot of dance teaching gigs and helping people and students learn dance at a very basic level and all that stuff.

And it was very rewarding and very fulfilling.

But that wasn't what I enjoyed.

That's not my passion.

My passion was choreography.

And for me,

Saying,

OK,

I'm open to the universe,

Everything that it has for me,

The universe said,

Oh,

OK,

Well,

You're open to everything.

We're going to give you some dance teaching stuff because that's easily accessible for you,

Something you can do well,

But also realizing,

Hey,

You're in a space right now where maybe teaching might be good for you because maybe other people need your services.

Fantastic.

Great.

So I did that for a long time.

But when I got to the point where I was like,

Oh,

I don't want to do this anymore,

I was like,

Well,

I guess I have to because I have this opportunity to dance teach.

I guess I need to do it because this is what I open myself up to.

Uh-uh.

No,

No,

No.

No,

No,

No.

There is something about being open and receptive to the universe and what it has for you.

However,

There's also this caveat in one,

Asking for what you want and being specific.

And two,

Realizing that every single opportunity that comes your way is not meant for you to say yes to.

I'll say that again.

Not every single opportunity that comes your way is meant for you to say yes to.

I believe for some of us,

We have an opportunity to do a certain thing,

To make money,

To do something,

To have a sense of influence,

Certain sense of power,

To have a promotion.

If that does not line up with our core values,

With what it is that we really want to do,

What we want to focus on in life,

Then guess what?

You can say no.

Shocking.

You have the permission.

You have the power to say no.

Because not every single opportunity is meant for you.

I believe the universe sometimes gives us opportunities based off of our vibration,

Based off of our energetic vibration.

So if we're energetically vibrating at a state or point where it's like,

I really need something,

I'll take anything,

The universe says,

Okay,

You'll take anything here.

Take that.

And it's like,

Okay,

I guess the universe gave it to me.

I guess I have to accept it.

You don't.

What you have to do is you have to essentially raise your energetic vibration to what it is that you do want,

Which is another podcast for another time in regards to how you do that,

But also asking for what you want and being specific.

For me,

Once I realized,

I was like,

Okay,

Dance teaching is a thing.

I do it well,

But it's not what I want to do.

I said,

Okay,

We're just not going to be open to any and everything.

We're going to be specific and ask for what I want.

So there were a few things that I realized I really want in regards to like pursuing career,

Pursuing things that helped me fulfill my,

What I feel as my soul's purpose being here.

So I said,

Okay,

There were all these things I know I want to do that I'm good at.

So in addition to choreography,

Of course,

In addition to my meditations that I'm offering and my other wellness practices,

I realized I also enjoy and know that I'm good at photography.

Let's put photography on the table too.

Great.

I also know that I'm good at facilitating other workshops for people to help them tap into their greatest self like coaching.

Great.

Let's put coaching on the table.

So I said,

Okay,

Universe,

Thank you for the dance teaching opportunities.

I'm grateful.

Check.

We did that.

Fantastic.

Moving on.

The way I moved on in addition to asking for what I want being specific was that I also wrote it down.

So I have a list of about nine things that I said,

Okay,

Universe,

God,

Divine source.

These are the things that I want to give my energy towards.

I realized that these things also helped me achieve my soul's purpose,

Which I believe is enhancing the light of others in various ways.

So I believe these nine ways I can enhance the light of others within them.

So these are the things,

These are the gateways that I want you to open up for me so that I can do these things.

Let me tell you something.

As soon as I wrote that down and I said,

I'm open to your goodness within these nine things,

Let me tell you,

The blessing started raining down because my vibration was not just open to any and everything.

It was open to the specific things in this way.

And I believe once we have a specific focus,

Once our vibration matches what it is that we want,

Whether it's through intent,

Whether it's through writing it down,

Whether it's through searching for those things,

The universe comes to our aid and helps us out with those things.

Now,

Granted,

Let me tell you,

There is also these moments where there's this in between time.

So I realized for me,

Dance teaching,

And at one point I was,

I was teaching dance for 60 hours a week,

Y'all,

60 hours a week.

That was intense.

Teaching dance for 60 hours a week.

It was a lot.

I didn't want to do it,

But I learned so much.

I learned a lot of lessons through doing that.

And that helped me as like an in between time to help me get to where I wanted to get to and to help me achieve a certain goal.

So maybe for you,

You're like,

Oh,

I've tried so many things.

I've done this.

I've done that.

I wrote things down.

I tried to be intentional.

Maybe you're in this in between moment.

We have to learn certain lessons in order for you to get to the dream,

Whether it's the dream job,

Dream career,

Dream relationship,

Dream finances.

Because I believe sometimes if we get things prematurely,

We don't learn certain lessons.

We can mess things up royally,

Just like have a royal screw up,

Which will prevent us from doing anything else in the future with this thing that we love.

So sometimes there are these in between times,

Even in relationships.

Let me tell you,

There are some friendships that I've had.

They're like,

Oh,

This is a really great friendship.

But like things happen in the midst and I learned certain lessons.

I'm like,

Oh,

Okay.

This friendship was here to help me learn this lesson so that when I have the new friendship that comes along,

Which is even more amazing,

Even more great,

Even more long term,

Long term,

I will now know what to do,

What not to do,

What to ask for,

Especially for me.

I know my main thing was boundaries.

I will now know what are the boundaries you need to set for yourself in regards to making sure this relationship goes well and making sure that things are a success in this way with this relationship.

So there are also these moments like these in between moments.

Or even in your in between moments,

I believe you also need to strive for those things that you want,

That you really desire,

The things that you feel like will bring you purpose.

So the way you do these things,

I already mentioned too,

Being intentional,

Saying universe,

This is my intent is to do these things.

So it'd be wibble wobbly about stuff.

Oh,

Maybe I should,

Maybe I shouldn't.

Okay.

I'm just going to be open to everything.

Stop doing that.

Stop doing it now.

Stop.

Okay.

So be intentional about what you want to do,

Which direction you want to go in.

Don't focus on the how,

Because the how can mess you up focusing on,

Oh,

I feel like I want to get there in this way.

You know,

It's like saying,

Okay,

Universe,

You know,

I really,

I don't know.

I really want to go to this destination.

Let's say you want to go to different part of the world or different part of the country.

And I said,

Okay,

Universe,

I want to get there by driving.

And the universe is like,

Okay,

Well we can drive,

But that will take you much longer.

But also where you want to go,

You really can't drive to you need to take a plane because you have to go over body,

Body of water.

Now for us,

You might see a globe,

See a map and go,

Okay,

Well obviously I can't,

You know,

Drive to a certain place because I need to fly there.

We can see that when it comes to our dreams and goals,

We can't always see the end game.

So it's important for us since we can't see the end game,

Don't focus on the how,

How you're going to get there.

Just focus on what it is.

Be intentional about the what,

Let the universe take care of the how.

You also might want to focus on people say this,

Coaches say this,

What is your why?

How big is your why?

That's important too.

Okay.

So focus on the what,

Focus on the why and let the universe take care of the how.

So that's one,

Being intentional.

Number two,

Write it down.

Write down these are the things that I want.

Great.

Number three,

How do you feel once you get these things?

Focus on the essence of it too.

Speaking from personal example for me,

I know when I was like,

Yes,

I want to make a move.

I want to move to a new location.

I wanted to have this,

This,

This,

And this.

Let me tell you,

Universe gave me all that that I wanted.

That's when I moved from New York to California.

Oh my gosh,

I got everything I wanted.

Everything I wanted,

Everything,

Everything,

Everything.

But guess what,

I didn't focus on the essence of how I would feel being there.

So although I got everything I wanted externally,

Because I didn't focus on the internal and the essence,

When I got what I wanted externally,

It was a disaster.

It was a disaster.

Oh my gosh,

Let me tell you,

Everything went wrong.

Like externally,

Everything was great in regards to my living situation.

But like how I felt,

That was the lowest point ever in my life.

Now I believe it was because I told the universe what I wanted,

But again,

The internal part of what that would bring me,

The feeling,

The peace,

The joy,

The happiness,

The whatever,

Was not there because my focus was too external.

So for you,

In addition to writing down what you want,

You need to also focus on how is this going to make you feel?

What is the essence that you want from that?

Because the universe can pitch you in a situation that will give you what you want in the external,

But internally you're not fulfilled.

So focus on the internal,

Because that then in turn helps to enhance and increase the vibration of what it is that you want.

So that's the order of things.

One,

Intention.

Two,

Let it down.

Three,

Focus on how that makes you feel.

Four,

That then increases the vibration of it.

And then five,

Let it go.

You don't want to keep your focus on this thing for an extended period of time,

Because universe won't be able to take it and manifest it for you.

So in the same way,

For example,

A kite,

In order for a kite to fly,

You can't keep holding the kite in your hands and run,

Because it would never fly.

In the same way,

You have to say,

Okay,

Universe,

This is what I want,

And then let it go.

So that the intention,

The dream,

The wish can go up towards the universe,

Let it fly,

And so that it can sort of be brought down to you and manifest.

Because the more you kind of tell the universe,

I want this,

I want this,

I want this,

Universe says,

Okay,

You want it,

But let us do it for you.

Because you keep holding on to it,

You're not letting us take care of it for you,

You're not letting us do the action and sort of take care of it for you.

So it's important for us to say what we want,

Be intentional,

Focus on the feeling,

The vibration,

And then let it go so the universe can do what it needs to do for us.

Okay,

I think that's it for today.

That is today's episode,

Today's podcast.

It's about being specific about what you want,

Super specific about your dreams,

Achieving them,

What is it that you want,

And then,

Once you do all the things,

Let it go.

Let the universe do what it needs to do for you to bring it into your life.

So that's all for now.

I guess if this resonated with you,

Please feel free to leave some comments,

Let me know.

Of course,

Always getting five stars is a dream.

It's amazing.

It also helps to rank my profile higher on Insight Timer so that more people can also listen to the work so that they too can also be inspired and blessed by what they hear.

So alright everyone,

Until next time,

Thanks so much,

Take care of yourself.

Bye bye.
