Yes, this is a new account, I just made this. I don't care if people question the authenticity of my post, my experience as a shifter, or whatever I'm about to say.
I don't know how to use Tumblr, nor do I know how to make my post reach people who need it, nor would I be a narcissist and say "you're lucky if you found my post!" I don't mind if this reaches an audience or not, I'm glad to get everything off my chest.
I have shifted realities, more times than I can count on my fingers, and that is for a very specific reason, which I'll explain later.
I'm writing this because I'm about to permashift, and no, I won't hear out any antishifters or people who don't like permashifting in general, I don't care about your opinion so don't waste my time.
Before I start, I'd like to say one thing:
So? Why did I mention this?
Because I had been lurking around shifting communities and I realised everyone feels like this, a very (mentally) painful feeling where the lack of shifts starts acting as your biggest enemy, and the phrase:
"Shifting needs practice!"
Sounds like poison when it comes from an experienced shifter.
Though, is the phrase actually true?
Shifting does not need practice!!
Here's why:
(BTW, I will explain my "method", no matter if I have time or not. Also, I don't call this reality "Current Reality", instead I call it Void reality, so don't get confused.)
The "practice" you're doing is only affecting your void reality (taking time out of your day, making you constantly think you're in your learning phase, so it doesn't exactly lead to your desired reality, does it?)
Of course, if you view it as a skill, it will in some way act like that, it'll become a skill for you, and you can never succeed on your first, second, third, hundredth try, because in your brain you have registered the fact that shifting is this grand, universal task, and that it is very difficult (because its common sense that you practice difficult things to get good at them)
Practice is a very humane and earthly act, if people have succeeded doing just practice, then good for then, they're right in their own way, but it didn't work for me, and in my opinion it's the worst way to view shifting, and often times it is demotivating, and you'll mess up you're entire journey.
Shifting is not a skill, shifting is a universal law.
I'll become more clear as I explain my journey:
I found shifting from a random YouTube video 3 years ago. I might have only said cool and moved along.
A year later something traumatic happened in my life, which shook me so badly I needed an escape.
First of all, I chose astral projecting, but I realised I was too much of a coward to do so.
Then I came towards shifting, first DR was very typical, it was Hogwarts.
Having no knowledge whatsoever in the topics of spirituality, meditation, I went straight to methods, because they were like guides for me, I was very inexperienced, of course, and looked at other people and what they were doing for guidance.
Alice in wonderland method didn't do much, raven method was too uncomfortable (side note, all this raven method does is make you too focused on your void reality, cmon, in your DR are you laying down like a starfish?) And I was having terrible trouble with my intrusive thoughts (which made the floor disappear from under my feet, made the stairs for the stairs method too short to climb or straight up made them dissappear as well)
I didn't have any luck that year, no mini shifts, no lucid dreams, or sleep paralysis. And my DRs never remained constant. They always changed on a daily basis.
I was big on methods, I couldn't realize they never worked for me.
Although, this year of failure led me to finally figure out where I belonged.
A DR made out of scratch, which I spend much effort in putting the pieces of it together.
The DR, which was called "Home reality" really made me feel settled in my journey.
LOA, and the consciousness theory were the leading factors which made me shift.
And don't worry, it isn't what you're tired of being told, I didn't just apply any orthodox definition of LOA and succeeded.
It was a particularly stressful day, I really missed my home.
I was studying at my college (I still am, but...) and I was dreading giving a chemistry test, I did not prepare. In my mind, one thing was constantly looping in my head.
The scenario of the chemistry teacher coming in, and taking the test, and the next day I get it handed back with a big fat zero.
But then I stopped and wondered, having already known about the consciousness theory, so according to it:
"I am constantly letting this thought run in my mind, and constantly letting this reality dictate what happens next."
Basically, I realized what was about to happen next was indirectly in my control, but with my line of thinking, I was letting this reality control it directly.
I stopped, like actually stopped thinking.
And with a blank mind I thought.
"I won't have to take any test today."
And went around telling my classmates this with a confident tone.
The teacher came in, said we'll instead do some practicals in lab.
So the test got cancelled.
Going home, I got excited, i felt powerful.
I decided to apply this to shifting.
Before shifting, I took a nap during the day, (if you're tired your body insists on sleeping, so your mind will get hazy and you will start acting lazy towards your goal)
And after living how I normally would, before bedtime, I listened to some songs, and look at a Pinterest board which reminded me of my home reality.
When I laid down on the bed to start shifting, I first got comfy (for me, if I feel sleepy for some reason, I laid on my back, I can't fall asleep in that position, but if I think ill stay awake until I reach a "detached state" then I sleep on my side, it's comfortable)
I obviously wasn't checking the time, but I spent about 10 minutes getting relaxed, all I do to relax is:
a) look at the blackness (closed eyes, looks like starry skies) and try to believe I'm looking at the milky way.
b) think about my home reality, just faces of my loved ones, and nostalgia inducing images.
c) Affirm, but don't focus entirely on affirming, usually in the back of my mind I'm repeating "I have shifted to my home reality" "I have shifted my senses to my home reality" "I have stopped sensing the void reality" "I am smelling, tasting, feeling, hearing and seeing my home reality" no other fancy affirmations required. (Now that I think about it, you need to affirm NOW because this method has two phases, one where you are shifting, and one where you have shifted, and you are in the 3D, where you are occupying your DR self, their thoughts, and memories, and popular method usually only have one phase, either you are shifting, or have shifted. So my point is if you affirm later and you'll be affirming when you're supposed to be in your DR, and obviously, your DR self won't be spouting out affirmations about shifting to a random reality for no reason.)
During this time, you'll feel tingly all over. It's a good sign.
And you'll feel a certain detachment, like you aren't exactly here, you have no idea what position you're lying in, and where your feet are. (Please, for the love of God do not start counting your feet or get freaked out that you can't feel your leg, you'll come back to the void reality.)
So you can start the next phase.
To prepare for the next and last phase, you can do this to get ready, or don't (First read the third phase)
This is all about connection to your DR.
Think about memories from your DR, focus on the faces of your loved ones, the way you act, talk, your mannerisms in your DR, or you can simply say affirmations like these one:
My name is ___.
I work as a ___.
My age is ___.
Don't try to imagine vividly or anything, lightly touch upon the basic details of your DR, the construction and foundation of any reality and the person, who has existed there for their entire life.
(That's you!)
Take a sudden, abrupt stop from your stream of thoughts. (Yes intrusive thoughts will still pop up but don't give any importance to them) when you're in a blank state of mind, not longer than 30 seconds, you need to build up to the last step of your shifting method, and journey.
a) start imagining hearing the voices of your loved ones or just any voice, calling your DR name, your nicknames, with different tones. (For example, i heard my name in an angry tone from my father when he was scolding me, I heard my name followed by a laughter when my S/O teased me.)
OK, for me, I started feeling intense, groundshaking symptoms at this moment. Sudden flashing of lights, extreme feeling of floating, and ofcourse, feeling tingliness so much that it felt like pins and needle on my entire body. (I did ignore the symptoms)
b) plan the rest of your day in your DR, which you will be spending.
AGAIN, PLEASE DON'T SAY IT LIKE THIS.
❌️When I reach my DR ❌️ I will have to go to that eye specialist for that appointment.
Instead: (and the more you personalize it, the better)
Ughhh, I have to go to that appointment- this day will suck.
(Don't mind my example, that was the only thing I could think of at the moment)
c) in this reality, you are constantly thinking of something, your thoughts are definitely what constructs this reality, and your current thoughts are affecting your subconscious. (By this point, your subconscious is grounded in your DR, so don't worry about that bastard.)
Now, you're going to start thinking, thoughts which are going on in your DR self's mind, start with one sentence, with which you'll be able to start consciously thinking like your DR self.
And think in the style, tone, and mood of your DR self, and keep the thoughts strictly related to your DR.
So for me, I started feeling weird while I was thinking.
And I remember I thought this:
"Ugh, I don't want eggs for breakfast."
(I'm not saying this is the key to shifting, at this point, I had covered various topics, including, weather, my upcoming work assignment, and praised my S/O for a good 5 minutes.)
And I started panting, like suddenly I was trying to catch my breath, the room felt bright, so I opened my eyes, and well, I was in my home reality :)
I was delirious for a few second, my S/O was looking at me worriedly, but surprisingly, it didn't even take me a minute to adjust, it felt all so natural and I wasn't scared.
I didn't even feel emotional, at all, and didn't hug my S/O with tears in my eyes, I straight up asked to be served breakfast, incase anyone was wondering.
Although i have much to say, I'm tired of writing, but I'm more than willing to answer each and every one of your questions, although I only have 7 hours left till I permashift, I'll remain mostly active till then.
And no, I'm not rereading this to fix my grammar, so just ask if anything confused you.
Ask away.
I'm still not sure if this'll reach anyone or not.
You're not "going" anywhere you're becoming aware of the fact you're already there.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:
Your awareness shifts and your senses follow, so stop letting your senses dictate your awareness.
You are already in your DR. It's a real reality that you have lived, breathed and cried in. It already exists and you already exist within it.
You are shifting your awareness to a life that you're already living. I know that you feel in your heart that it exists inside of you.
You are not just a physical body you are the potential of everything that ever was or ever could be. You're still holding onto the belief that in some way you're tethered to this reality but the truth is nothing can hold you.
I know you can shift because it already belongs to you. You already exist in that reality. It's already yours. The ONLY thing you have to do is become AWARE that its yours.
You know the truth. You belong in that reality and some piece of you, however much your fears deny it, is already there. The second you declare it as yours it is.
Once you accept that it is yours nothing can take it away from you. It has to happen.
There is no "trying" you do not try to exist you just do. You live there, that reality is natural to you. Just become aware.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚:
Your desired reality already exists.
It's easy to hear "you already have everything" and respond reflexively with "no I don't, it's not here"
You are so much more than what is visible to you right now. Your soul inhabits multiple timelines, realities, and dimensions at once. You are spread across the multiverse. You have infinite lives and experiences that are as natural to you there as your life is to you now.
If you're shifting realities it's important to realize that everything you script is a natural part of that reality. You are not changing it or creating it you are choosing it as a destination.
Think of your script as a GPS. You type in where you want to go and it helps to take you there. What you've written is an address for the universe to identify your desired reality by.
You aren't forcing things to be a certain way because you scripted them. It exists that way right here right now and you just have to get there.
You want to change your appearance but worry that it's weird? You've literally always had that face in your DR.
You're worried your comfort character wouldn't love you without a script? They fell in love with you all on their own in that reality!! You aren't forcing them to love you! You're choosing to live in a reality where they do.
You want to be proficient in something but worry that by scripting it you're cheating in some way? The version of you in that reality still put in work! You're just moving to a reality where you worked your ass off for what you want!
Your DR is a place and a destination. It's just as real as a reality you would find at random. You wouldn't say that someones house is more natural because the directions they used to get there were simpler. It existed before you ever learned how to shift. You want to go there for a reason.
You're not bound to what you have now. It's not cheating to revise or script that something is different. You are just expanding your experience to different versions of your life. None of it is or ever will be foreign to you.
omg first of all i literally cant believe i never realized this before, when i tell you i am ASHAMED (jk)
i just realized i've been subconsciously waiting for the summer for my desires to show up. i think i've been having a hard time believing i could be where i want to be literally in a week, or even tomorrow, i just didn't have the courage to accept it. bc things im manifesting are ''big'' ? (big manifestations don't exist actually, so let's just say life-changing instead.) so i subconsciously thought it'd take time even though i've been affirming that i already have them
i realized it because i've been sitting at my desk thinking about how i'd rather be living my best life rn instead of spending all my weekend studying, dreading it and how i wanted summer to come... but then it hit me like I AM the reason i'm sitting here on my desk in my same old room instead of sitting beside the pool of my million dollar mansion overseas or smth like that, yk? why am i even waiting for summer when i can have it right now? i don't have to do live a way i don't want to. not when 3d literally reflects my inner world like a mirror.
like i've been telling every anon that CIRCUMSTANCES AND LOGIC DO NOT MATTER but have i been applying it myself? mhm no. i knew it all along but i didn't apply it. i've been a huge hypocrite tbh, telling people that they are limitless here on tumblr but limiting my own self waiting for something i can have right now.
if you relate to this, stop sitting on your ass and wait for the perfect time to come, you literally don't have to live in any way you don't want to. just claim them now, acknowledge you can have the life you want literally tomorrow. yes you are good enough and yes you are ready, so stop waiting. TIME IS IRRELEVANT.
so, today, i had this realization i was perceiving everything "in" my DR as something i can only experience once i "get there." i didn't even consciously recognize that's how i was assuming, but once i did, it was so obvious. once i saw that underlying assumption, i was able to choose to see it all differently. thing is, i know the truth: i am that reality now; i am my desired self now. i'm living infinite lives all at once, and they're all me. so, how could i be separate or not experiencing everything "there?" i was suddenly overwhelmed with the awareness of how much my DR s/o loves me, along with my DR friends. i'm not waiting to experience that love somewhere else outside of me. it's all now—the only time there is. it was wonderful to feel that love and to know it as completely real and true because love it the only energy there is. it's all love; it's all me. he and i are one, like i'm one with everything. i'm seeing how much i was positioning any of my alt realities as somewhere outside of me when they're only present now as me. there's nothing to pedestal or get to; it's all just me. it's all now. it all just is. just like how I AM.
𝑆𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑:
Sammy ingram has perfectly stated in many of her videos how important it is to saturate your mind with the state of already having your desires. The more you want something, the more you have to indulge your consciousness in the living in the end state.
Drench your mind with all the thoughts that align up with your desired reality. If you really want something, you don’t have time to doubt, you don’t have time to fixate on the unwanted circumstances, you have to put all your energy in the state of already having what you want.
Whether that’s doing a routine or just affirming for your desires as soon as they cross your mind, it doesn’t matter. But if you want it, there’s no point wasting your time on saturating your mind with the unwanted reality because?? How is that going to help you. It’s not, babes. it’ll just give you more of what you don’t want. What your mental energy focuses on, will manifest.
your consciousness is like a billion+ years old (if we ignore the fact that time isn't real lol) and you would still date someone that is close in age to your CR age... does it make you a weirdo? no. it would be normal here in your CR to be attracted to someone close in age. because your mind/awareness of this reality is as old as your body/brain here !
and when you shift to reality where body&brain is idk 10 years old - you will have the perception and emotional/mental capacity of a 10 years old kid !! (ok well... unless you actively choose/script to be an otherworldly adult trapped in a childs body but then again... i would wonder about your intentions for doing so.... ?)
but back to the topic, here are some examples:
do you know conan from the anime detective conan? because of some type of drug he was forced to take his body turned into his 6-7 years old self while he kept the mind of his 17 y/o self AND EVEN THEN: he needed more sleep, became more quickly drowsy, his attention span was less good and he overall felt the needs of his child body daily because he WAS a child again, even if his mind wanted to do more, his body wasn't as durable to do so, he felt restricted by his own body.
also, if you've read some webtoons that talk about regression or transmigration etc. where the main character turns back in time or just wakes up in a body that is physically younger than their former self - even there you can see that they feel the limitations of being a child again (weakened body, need for more sleep, stronger emotions & mood swings, struggles with speaking and forming difficult thoughts, shorter memory capacity etc.)
if hormones & co, the stage of development of our brain, and all the positive, traumatic,(...) childhood experiences influence our mind and body from childhood/teenage to adulthood - why would it be different in other realities? especially those that are so similar to our CR human world... so, in that sense, once you shift, you kinda take over an already limited and different-wired body and your mind adjusts to the situation your DR self is in ...because you ARE your DR self in that moment
i hope that makes sense ♡
do you know why affirmations work and you dont even have to believe them ?? because your world, your 3D, what you see around you, is only possible because of imagination. if yoy take away imagination, you take away your world. the 3D ceases to exist. this is why your dominant thoughts are able to create your 3D without you even having to believe in them. this is why you are able to manifest things out of thin air. there is no higher being that we must impress in order to get our desires. all we have to do is saturate our mind enough with what we want to experience so our mind will think we are already experiencing it and then have no choice, no choice !!!! but to show it to us. when i say no choice i mean no choice. our mind doesnt think hmm, actually no i dont think she/he/they deserve this. it doesnt think actually no i dont want to give them this. so continue persisting, continue affirming and know that every single one of your desires absolutely has to happen no matter what.
Don't believe stuff like "it takes time/effort to shift" because what you are doing is affirming it. You can shift in a second and even less. Don't doubt it.
Hii! I am pretty new to the Tumblr shifting community and I didn’t really plan on posting anything but after browsing around a bit, I kind of wanted to give my two cents on shifting. I used to be active in the Amino community back then but then I took a break to focus on myself. Some time passed since then and I have been shifting pretty regularly now. And after looking through some posts, I wanted to share some things to maybe help others.
Disclaimer: I fully believe shifting is personal and should be tailored to you. What works for me might not work for you and that’s okay! However, I would be very glad if this helped someone. Also excuse how I explain some things. Since I just got back, I’m not very caught up with new shifting terminology so I’m just going to explain how I understand it instead.
You are only consciousness. That is what you are and what you will always be. There will never be any reality, circumstances, doubts, fears, or anything tied to you unless you allow it to. You as consciousness, your only role is to experience and be conscious of things. So as you become conscious of new things, you shift.
As consciousness, your natural state is the void state. You only experience reality when you take on a vessel, which is your body. So through these vessels, you experience reality. And as you live in these vessels, you will encounter its emotions, doubts, and thoughts. This is why people say you are not your doubts or fears, because truly you are not. You are only experiencing it through the vessel. They are not your own, but the vessel’s.
So to shift realities, you simply decide a reality then become conscious of it. Literally just that, you decide and then become. There’s nothing more or less to it I swear.
I think the reason why many people fail to comprehend this is because they had been putting in so much effort that they couldn’t believe how actually effortless it really is. I think it’s because they try to force it without understanding how it just comes naturally. Shifting shouldn’t be about taking control but rather just be. I see people asking how this and how that and am I doing it right, and I just want to say forget all about that and focus on just being.
You had always just been consciousness experiencing reality through a vessel your whole life. You had always made a choice on a reality then proceeded to become aware of it. So now decide on that reality that you want and just be conscious of it. That’s all it is. If it helps, help yourself understand that you are only consciousness. Remind yourself throughout the day, when you experience this vessel’s doubts, or before you sleep. Truly understand that you are not tied down by anything because you are literally just consciousness.
If you question why you should listen to me, it is because I was in your shoes before. For a really long time, I really thought that shifting is just not something I could do and that it was all just an inside joke. I was at my all time low and I just didn’t know what to think or believe anymore. Yet, here I am, shifting as regularly as I sleep. That being said though, I don’t want you to idolize me or envy me. Don’t idolize a consciousness when you are literally one as well and can do anything I can.
I hope this post was understandable. I’m not much of an explainer but I tried my best.
there's a huge difference between persisting in trying&waiting vs persisting already having it. what are you persisting in? are you persisting in lack or abundance?
exactly.
if you’re persisting in the new story aka you have your desires, nothing can stop you. you will be met with success.
if you’re persisting in lack aka you dont have any of your desires, you’ll be repeating the cycle of stress, worries etc.
this is not to say you need to be 100% confident in your manifestations. you can have doubts all you want, but don’t let that doubt rule over your new story
