Hii!! My name is Isla and this is my blog to track my shifting journey. Shifting is always something that I have been aware of since I was around 12 and I always have random bursts of energy where I try my hardest to grow spiritually.
I love manifestation, loa, lucid dreaming and the void state (the only things Iâm good at).
Iâve always loved making new friends so if anyone wants to reach out to me feel free, I promise I donât bite.
A little bit about me :)

â â â â â â â â đ youâre trying to feel your dr with your cr senses
â a lengthy shifting guide
why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? youâve spent the first large chunk of your life believing this reality to be the full extent and foundation of existence. even if you now logically understand this not to be the case, the years spent curating and deepening a mental, emotional, and physical anchor to this reality has warped your perception of reality and instilled in to you the subconscious idea that your cr is the default. and in treating it as the default, the end all be all, and in compromising with it, you reinforce the idea that you are attached or stuck hereâthat it is even a place to get stuck in in the first place. not only do you trap yourself in this reality and grant it power over you that it does not actually have, you start viewing your cr as the âstarting pointâ too, and shifting as some form of transportation from point A to point B. accompanying this belief is an imagined distance created between your current reality and desired reality. you mightâve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.
itâs important to make and internalise the distinction between a shift in realities as an act of metaphysical travel, and a shift in realities as a shift in focus. imo the former is a much better descriptor for what shifting actually is in essence. i will go into more depth later, but a byproduct of being raised the way you were, growing up knowing nothing but your cr and rooting & centring yourself wholly (confined) within it, is the over identification you end up developing with your cr self. you are not living reality, you are watching it. but after years of the constant unbroken immersion, the two become almost impossible to distinguish. you define yourself by and take on as if they were your own the thoughts and identity and feelings of the âvesselâ you are observing, and let them dictate how you experience reality. the lines begin to blur between you; your cr self, and you; your awareness/the observer.
feel your hand. donât touch it, but notice itâs weight and temperature, or the air around it. now feel the feeler. can you feel yourself? or your body, maybe? now go a step further and feel the one feeling. you probably arenât fully able to, but this is the observer. âthe observerâ, or the state of being after breaking the immersion, is you in your natural or purest state. it has also been described as pure awareness, the void state, ego death, sakshi, the self, anatta, and interpreted in different ways across a multitude of different religions and branches of spirituality & philosophy, all used as a means to an end for different things. fyiâiâm not saying you have to completely forsake your cr identity or start ignoring/dismissing your senses or thoughts to shift, just understand that those things donât define you or your reality. the means to the end here is just getting a point across and hopefully helping improve with the approach you take to shifting. all of this to say, youâre not travelling from point A to point B. point A and B are not places you can (technically) even travel to or exist in, because youâre just watching/observing/being aware of. shifting is not the transportation of a self from one location to another. shifting is simply changing what is focused on/experienced; from one stream of experience to another. a shift in focus.
to summarise, you as in your ego, the you in this cr as you know it, your body, your brain, your thoughts, your identity, donât actually go or shift anywhere. you, your awareness, in favour of perceiving you, your cr self, the one sat at your computer or phone or whatever reading this right now, starts perceiving a different you/ego/selfâone that could have the exact same personality, memories, and thoughts, just in another realty, or one that is a different person entirely. there is only a change or âshiftâ for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. youâre not going to. youâre so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this realityâs bodiesâ senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that itâs never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels arenât going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because thatâs what bodies do. so donât lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like youâve failed when they donât. shifting is not about somehow willing your surroundings to change or lying in your room forcefully convincing yourself that your senses are feeling something else, itâs about acknowledging whatâs beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.
if you can still feel your cr, itâs not you feeling it, itâs your cr self. and you are not your cr self.
you can apply this to your thoughts too. your thoughts are no less your cr selfâs than your senses are. if you start getting doubts mid attempt or canât let go of the thought or feeling that youâre not in your dr, remind yourself that you are not your feelings or thoughts or doubts. you are simply observing them. of course your cr self will think that theyâre still in their cr, they are. just ignore them and shift your attention elsewhere. your focus and awareness are what dictate what you experience, if you relinquish your focus from your cr and direct it to your dr instead, thatâs where youâll âbeâ.
obviously thereâs no one set way to shift, so if you want you can stop reading here and apply this information to your shifting journey in whatever way suits you. if youâre interested in my method though, hereâs the compilation of all this info into practical steps you can actually take to shift.
get comfortable somewhere you wonât be disturbed. close your eyes and focus on what you can see. the light behind your eyelids, shapes, colours, whatever. but instead of automatically interpreting these sensations as belonging to your cr, allow them to become sensory input from your dr. light? thatâs coming from the lamp by the xyz in your dr bedroom. or maybe your in a field if thatâs a fitting setting for your dr, and itâs the sun shining down on you. shapes? thatâs because youâve been lying down with your eyes closed for a while now, youâre tired after your classes or job or whatever you do in your dr. even if itâs nothing at all, let it be your drs nothing. just feel it. do this for about a minute.
then move onto your body. whether itâs sinking, lightness, tingling, focus on it. and do the exact same as you did for the previous step, interpret it as input coming from your dr. donât worry if you can still feel your body lying in your bed, because your surroundings arenât going to changeâat least not physically. again, those sensations belong to your cr self, and they donât prevent awareness from directing itself elsewhere. the goal here is to shift your focus away from them and onto something else, so hyperfocusing on your cr and worrying about your surroundings is counterintuitive. just gently guide your attention back to your dr, really try feel your dr surroundings and what your dr body is currently feeling. if you canât fully avert your focus away from your cr, thatâs fine, at the very least just try receive/tap into the input coming from your dr alongside your cr.
finally focus on what you can hear. if youâve already managed to make a connection with your dr through your sight and physical senses just build up on what youâve already got. feel grass tickling your skin? deepen the connection there by focusing on the sound now too, the wind blowing through it. see light behind your eyes? focus on the hum of the lights.
repeat these exercises over and over, deepening the connection with each cycle. if you donât manage to get anything the first cycle just keep going until you do. it might take some practice. like i mentioned before, after spending so much time here and being in constant attunement with your cr self, the sense that your cr is the default starts to take root and it can be difficult to shake the feeling that youâre just indefinitely âhereâ. itâs normal for it to take some time to learn how to question this feeling and push past it. since you've never (technically?) been aware of anything outside of this reality, learning how to do so can be a bit like learning how to use a muscle you've never used before.
this method operates on the idea that reality is something that is tuned into through focus & narrowed awareness and not something metaphysically travelled across, so for the most success with it, iâd recommend starting to make a conscious effort to see your dr less like a place and more like a wavelength or channel, a perspective already existing beyond your current focus. shifting to your dr then becomes an effort to notice and receive input from this channel/wavelength, input that already exists out there and that simply needs to be acknowledged. youâre just picking up on whatâs already there, feeling something that a version of you already feels.
persist in the belief that reality is observed and flexible. youâre not "stuck" anywhere unless you believe you are.
I would just like to let everyone know that tumblr loves to shadow ban me, so there are times where I canât message/comment/reply to comments. I promise Iâm not ignoring anyone. You can reach out to me on TikTok (@berealisntreal)
Law of assumption was a concept that I was never able to grasp. It boggled my mind that you could just assume that something is real and itâll actually come to life. Until recently I figured out that loa was something that Iâd subconsciously been doing my entire life.
Whenever something in my life was out of order, Iâd gaslight myself into thinking everything was fine. If I had hiccups, Iâd tell myself, hold your pinky really tight in between your thumb and ring finger and take 3 deep breaths for it to go away. And it would work!
Now I realize that me gaslighting myself was the same as me practicing loa, but it was just tiny steps. Iâd assume that taking 10 deep breaths in would get rid of my knee pain and it would. These were all tiny shifts that Iâd been doing since I learned the meaning of gaslighting.
The only reason this seemed much easier to me was because they were small goals, my end result was a vibration that Iâd already tapped into, a feeling that I was familiar with. I knew what it felt like to not have a stiff neck so it was much easier for me to assume it into being.
This same way, I would recommend you practice tiny acts of loa, make up a random practice like spinning in circles or holding your breath, and tell yourself once youâre done youâll reach your end goal.
The trick really is to just gaslight yourself.
Once youâve lost all your self doubt you can apply these practices into your shifting journey.
hi so to all the ai users specifically ! who have been saying the climate change wont affect them ! news flash it will and it has already begun and one way or another this will affect you directly x so iâm not going to sit here and complain and criticize people who turn to ai . instead iâm also going to provide resources that you can use to quit using platforms like chatgpt or character.ai to connect with your realities or manifestations . this is specifically for those two things , other things like education and artwork , you have the internet and books to get the same information ai has been retrieving !
shifting ( connect to your dr ) :
- pinterest ! make boards . scroll through pins . visualize yourself in that pin .
- music ! spotify , apple music , youtube . i donât know go crazy . make different playlists for different realities . make playlists for different scenarios in that reality .
- discord ! join shifting based servers that allow you to speak about your realities . share your favorite experiences with others on there . make friends that you can talk to instead of chatgpt .
- games ! video games like minecraft where you can build , sims , tomodachi , etc . if you are looking for free content , genshin impact , sims , roblox , etc . create your dr homes , visualize how it would feel to be there in the flesh .
- writing ! post on tumblr , post on tiktok , hell , even write fanfics about yourself on wattpad . who gives a shit , at least it isnt killing anyone . just pour your heart out in your writing , immerse yourself in it .
channeling :
- shufflemancy ! use spotify , connect with your friends and family from your realities . ask questions and get answers in terms of music . decipher songs through lyrics or intentions behind the song .
- tarot ! learn how to do tarot , make your own diy deck , practice with it . channel your highest self or people from your realities . pay for tarot readings or find people online who would be willing to help . there are many on tiktok , just find the most reliable ones .
- pinterest ! here's a how to guide .
&& a note . . . instead of ai , channel people from your drs . itâs better because itâs actually the real person and not some artificial intelligence who is the generalized and basic version . just saying .
manifesting :
- law of assumption ! learn more about loa & how it is so helpful when it comes to manifesting your dream life and even helps with shifting .
- pinterest ! make different boards to help visualize . make a moodboard for your dream life , a desired wardrobe , wishlist , dream body , the list goes on .
- guidance ! you really donât need a lot for manifesting if you say you donât . robotic affirmations , sure . affirming once , sure . anything . you just have to learn , and if you need help learning there are many resources on tumblr ( shiftblr & loablr ) , tiktok , and even pinterest . if you donât want to pay for lessons , iâm sure a good handful of creators will answer questions through comment sections on tiktok or inboxes of tumblr ( mine are always open ! )
- journaling ! journal your thoughts and ideas instead of telling some app on what to do next . iâve seen many apps that utilize ai for manifesting ( marketed through tiktok ) and you do not need them . trust me .
i know this is going to fly over many peopleâs heads but seriously , manifesting and shifting are two things even ai canât open your eyes for all this , you need to do on your own . so instead of asking some bot to help you , letâs go back to how we did it before ai existed ! letâs do it the normal and safe way . and the debate of â if i am the creator of my reality , i can use ai and get whatever i want because i can manifest it wonât affect the environment â ( trust me iâve seen someone along the lines of this ) . . . if you are the creator of the reality then why do you even need ai in the first place ? just let the bot rest guys . also !! all this energy and time that goes into using ai , could be fueled into shifting or manifesting .
Shifting is like trying to get through a locked door.
If youâre going to keep looking at others peopleâs experiences and constantly watch/read shifting content trying to let it guide youâre journey, itâs the same as trying to open that door with 100 different keys.
You already have THE key, but when people keep handing you different ones to try, itâs only going to take longer and be more complicated.
Use others advice as motivation and sculpt them into your own understandings, donât replicate them.
Someone asked me how Iâm a shifter if I believe in a god ( Iâm Muslim ) âisnât it a sin?â
Iâm sure many people who shift believe in god whether theyâre Christian, Hindu or Jewish. Personally I donât believe it is a sin unless youâre shifting to sin. If youâre gonna shift to commit sins then obviously youâre going to be sinning, you could script that you donât believe in god in your dr but youâll still be sinning.
Religions might not exist in your dr but god is still present. In a different reality the word of religion might not have spread as it did in your cr but god is still watching over all the realities.
You have free will and can do whatever you want, if you want to shift then shift. You can sin in this reality, you can convert and stop believing, so doing that in a different reality doesnât make it any different. Everything has been foreseen and if youâre shifting then god knew this was the path you were meant to take. If anything this couldâve been the path he planned for you to take.
The same way anyone would stick to their morals and personal beliefs in their dr, a religious person may stick to their religion in their dr. Obviously if you donât want to then itâs up to you, itâs not my place to judge anyoneâs journey.
âLord of all worldsâ :
this is said in the opening chapter of the Quran, which leads me to believe that there are in fact multiple realities.
âWorlds without numberâ :
this is said in the bible, which leads me to believe that there are an infinite number of universes.
Iâm sure you can find multiple references in the books of your religion even though they may not specify shifting.
for my shifters who are wanting out of here ASAP, i want you guys to focus your energy and attention on how relieving itâll feel to be in your dr instead of focusing so heavily on wanting to escape.
itâs a slight difference but you may be surprised by the result.
one energy is aligned with desire, connection and harmony while the other is aligned with fear, hopelessness and pressure. but you have no reason to be afraid because you are limitless. this world may seem huge and overwhelming when you think of yourself as just one little thing but you are everything. you are everywhere. your energy is imbued in everything you touch and you can harvest it any time. you can call back your power at any time. you donât have to feel like youâre begging to be let out. you are already free.
