P-Shifting Methods - Advice
So if you are someone pursuing a way to make p-shifting happen, weâd like to provide some cautions and a few things to look out for, along with some suggestions.
There are people out there who, sadly, are lying about their intentions for you, and may mean you or others harm. So in the interest of avoiding these people, please watch out for these signs:
-If someone claims to have a âsecretâ p-shifting method that they will share with you for some kind of price - this could be money, sexual favors, or anything, really - they donât know anything. Theyâre trying to scam you, and they arenât worth your time. On the note of a secret, if they act like theyâre doing you a massive favor by sharing it with you and say theyâll need a favor from you later, put any kind of pressure on you, make you promise not to tell anyone that you know them/say âthis is our little secretâ (this is a grooming tactic), or otherwise act very strongly about it, get away.
-If someone tells you to p-shift by harming yourself, others or animals, theyâre not worth listening to. Under no circumstances should you intentionally hurt yourself or others. And killing yourself certainly isnât going to make you p-shift.
-Similar to the above, if someone tells you you need blood of any kind to accomplish p-shifting, donât bother. You can catch all kinds of diseases, not to mention the harm you could be doing to humans or animals doing that. The only circumstance in which you should be drinking or using blood is if youâre a sanguine vampire (that is, your health requires that you consume or come into contact with blood), and even then, only in safe, educated situations.
-Likewise, methods such as fasting, self-mutilation, animal sacrifice and the like arenât going to do you any good.
-If anyone says you have to have some kind of close bond with them, or you must have some kind of contract or seal with them, they are of the unsavory type. Such as someone saying that to become a p-shifter you must sleep with one first; the ulterior motive there is pretty obvious.
-On that note, anyone who has any ulterior motive, at all. Actually, if theyâre doing anything aside from making simple suggestions or recommendations, theyâre probably trouble. If theyâre trying to force or pressure you into something in any manner, theyâre likely not being truthful. If they are simply sharing their experiences, and respect that you might not want to try their methods, or that it might not work for you, then thatâs alright.
-Anyone who says you have to be âturnedâ should be avoided quickly. If you are unaware, most p-shifting communities ban people who claim to be able to âturnâ others. It is not an acceptable claim, and seems to just about exclusively come from sexual predators.
-Speaking of, anyone who wants you to meet up with them in person, or asks for any of your personal information for the sake of âshowingâ you how to do it. If they actually could show you, thereâs no reason they couldnât take a video or photo on their phone and send it to you. That said, if someone is simply discussing the idea, donât pressure them into sharing a video or photo, especially if they arenât using their claims to gain control over someone. They are likely just minding their own business, and many p-shifters that we have encountered are intensely private about themselves - as is their right. Please respect that. Now if you see them lording their claims over others or manipulating people with it, then by all means, feel free to step in and insist on seeing them doing it; if theyâre going to use it to gain some kind of power, they have to be able to prove their honesty.
-Also, generally avoid people who claim to be hunters or slayers. Donât rise to a challenge or duel or anything like that. Donât agree to meet them no matter what they say (even if they claim they need your help with a âtroublesomeâ p-shifter). Report and move on. Never, ever give out your personal information. We donât want to be narrow-minded about an identity, but people who claim to live to harm others are just a no-go. Not to mention vigilantism is generally illegal for a reason, no matter the circumstance.
Itâs very unfortunate that so many people find people looking for p-shifting methods to be targets. So please keep yourself safe.
However, here are a few things weâve learned from the p-shifting community that you may find useful in your discoveries:
-From what we saw in the p-shifting community, the common belief is that p-shifting is highly personal, and that it might not work quite the same way for any two people. Where we were, anytime someone new would join asking how to do it, the answer would always be âtime, patience and self-discoveryâ (along with a caution that no one should be allowed to tell you how to p-shift). That you have to find it within yourself, over time. Through soul-searching, meditation, or connecting to the animal you feel you can become, until something clicks.
-There was a strong belief in the community that not everyone is capable of p-shifting, and that, because of that possibility, you generally shouldnât devote all your time or hope to it. That you may simply have to accept yourself as you are - but know that itâs perfectly fine to be what you are. (For the record, the people we encountered considered mental, phantom and dream shifting to be just as important as p-shifting, and did not see p-shifting as some kind of âultimateâ or âperfectâ shift.) If you arenât able to achieve it, please donât be hard on yourself. After all, there is no real evidence to support this concept and so there have been no formal studies, attempts or research around it. It isnât guaranteed to work for you, even if someone says otherwise. (Though we would love to see studies on it.) The people who did say they could p-shift also did not hold themselves over those who could not. So please do not feel bad if you simply canât achieve it; thereâs nothing wrong with you for that.
-Some people who never could get a p-shift to work instead took to fashion, style and jewelry to help alleviate the pressure they feel to shift. Some wear whatever helps them feel more like their animal side and allow themselves to be lost in it for a time (such as in a mental shift), in a place where they can be alone. Some pursue surgery to âfixâ their body (which they see as being the wrong species) - but we would suggest you do thorough research before trying that. Some examples of those surgeries would be to have fat removed or injected in certain locations to make a shape more like the animal, to have hair permanently removed, to have various tattoos, to have objects implanted under the skin to create a different shape, to have the tongue split in half, etc. Some called this method âp-shifting in slow motionâ. Be aware that it is extremely expensive, likely is illegal in your country, and can most often only be performed without painkiller. It may also lead to severe infection, injury, disability or even death.
-There is a common belief in the p-shifting community that in order to achieve a p-shift, you must be at your very peak health and have an absolute overflow of energy. They suggested keeping a healthy diet and exercising regularly, along with reducing stress, spending time in nature and being careful to avoid getting sick. They also said you should avoid alcohol, smoking, and the like. Essentially, that you need to keep your human body in excellent condition in order to have the energy to perform a p-shift, as the act is said to take an enormous amount of effort.
-There was also a general warning that if you feel pain while trying to p-shift, that you should stop immediately. The thought was that the process could cause some odd sensations, but that it shouldnât hurt. There was also a consensus that you shouldnât use p-shifting to ignore health problems, and that you shouldnât let it prevent you from seeking medical attention as needed. No one we knew was ever outed by a doctor - no one can tell you are a p-shifter by a blood test, DNA test, or any other medical test. (If they could, there would have been studies on it by now.) Be assured that seeing a doctor for whatever you need is perfectly safe.
-Another piece of advice we found was that p-shifting should never, ever be used to bring harm to others. It should only be done when alone, in a safe place where you wonât be seen. It should not be bragged about, it should not be used to control others or to shame others. It should definitely never be used to fight, and you shouldnât rely on it for self-defense or escape (as itâs generally reported to take several minutes to p-shift). There was also a general rule about never taking pictures or videos of it (for the sake of avoiding too much attention). Basically, use common sense and logic, and donât do anything youâll regret at any point. Take your time to think carefully before you act. It was seen as being more for fun and for spiritual reasons than anything else. These people are trying hard to be accepted, and so you shouldnât do anything that will justify people judging the p-shifting community. Set a good example for both outsiders to the community and newcomers within it. If you see someone being mislead or manipulated, step in and put a stop to it.
-It was also generally suggested that you first become excellent at mental shifting, phantom shifting, and sometimes dream shifting before attempting to p-shift, as many saw a p-shift as simply an extension, or other version of these.
We hope this can help anyone looking into p-shifting. :) Always remember to be careful and thoughtful, and to look after yourself.
