if you’ve been trying to shift for several months or years and nothing has worked, i want you to try something, okay? ready?
STOP TRYING! “oh, but shay i already don’t try, i just intend-” ERR! WRONG! i’m not saying to intend and hope for the best but to drop the intention entirely and let your subconscious take the wheel.
my theory—and i have practiced this—is that when you go to sleep with no agenda or expectations, your awareness is free to do whatever you want. your resistance becomes nonexistent because you’re no longer bracing for a particular outcome. and because you’re no longer directing the process, your awareness finally has the freedom to show you where you already wanted to go.
if you’ve spent months or years connecting to reality after reality, scripting up and down, meditating like your life depends on it and your effort has still not brought you your desire it’s because you haven’t allowed it in yet.
and the best way to allow it in is by doing nothing—at ALL—to work for it.
shifting is not something that wants to be chased, it wants to chase you!
YOU are the object of your dr’s attention.
YOU are the centerpiece—there is no dr without your awareness.
so why not allow it to do the work of chasing you for a change?
why block off the connection that you are so naturally owed?
if you’re the type of person to find that the moment you decide to take a break from shifting, you suddenly see synchronicities or have “close calls” then this is your sign to follow that and stop trying to shift!
really, the only time anyone should be “trying” is when they’re doing an awake method but that’s a topic for a different day…
all i’m trying to say is that when you’re not blocking the awareness with checking or overplanning and bargaining, you are aligning.
you don’t fall asleep by trying to fall asleep.
you fall asleep by letting your body do what it knows how to do.
shifting works the same way. it’s natural for our awareness to shift. so trust in yourself and your natural ability. you are already in your dr.
