Fun to hear you talk about this, Shinzen. There are a bunch of ways of getting into such a state, I recommend studying freestyle rap, beat poetry, charismatic speakers of all kinds if one is interested in such things, and just getting into the habit of noticing when you are already in a verbal flow to memorize how exactly you do it. Also you can use a technique similar to what people use to get over writer's block, which is to just set a timer and write without deleting anything for 5 or 10 minutes. In this case you just speak out loud, doesn't matter if it makes sense or even involves complete sentences or is just babbling, you just get words out of your mouth quickly and fluidly. Then start making them more emotionally emphatic, ideally by getting in touch with what is of deepest meaningfulness to you.

That's very interesting, especially the last part. I used to emulate charismatic speakers, but even though sometimes I felt, as you said, the verbal flow, it never sticked to me for more than 1 or 2 days. Do you have any recommendations, be it books or any specific field which involves training such as the last one?

[@duffmcduffee]

Look into Bradford Keeney's work on "Shaking Medicine" and "Seiki Jutsu." He covers this kind of ecstatic practice in all forms: movement, verbal flow, and much more.

I will definitely take a look, thank you

[@6Uncles]

definitely love the freestyle rap idea, I've been doing it a bit for the last few while. Studying and doing inpromptu speaking is another thing, or improv

I tried what you mentioned - setting a timer and just saying whatever came to mind. It was kinda fun. And hearing myself talk was sort of like ministry - I was saying things that I didn't even realize I thought before. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow beautiful! ❤ Also helps with clearing different languages in the mind, which is something i'm struggling with very much at the moment!

[@ShinzenVideos]

Well, that's a lovely application. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for sharing.

Yep a different section of the brain is involved if I'm not mistaken. Still meditation. I simply look within and remove any filters that may get in the way. 3,2,1,0,1,2,3. I listed the original statement this is its completion or what I call the return. Tried not to pull out too many hairs.

Kind of like singing a song you know and letting the song sing you. God that sounds pretentious.
