Re-introduction! I still don't fully grasp tumblr but it's okay!
Welcome to my little shifting blog~~~
My name is Cain (and more recently, Angela), I'm currently 19 ('06) ^_^ I use any pronouns and any terms. I've been a shifter since ~2021 and I have shifted (Albeit for a few minutes)! Shifting is my main hobby outside of my uni work~
I currently only have one DR that I'm shifting to! My beloved streaming slash better cr slash beach life DR how I love you so... This is also the dr I've had the most success with, go me!!!
I also believe in LOA, manifestation, subliminals, tarot, crystals, all that jazz :> I'm willing to talk to anyone!! I'm very friendly I promise🤎🤎
listing out all the things i gotta do the next day (i’ve shifted like this before multiple times but haven’t used this method in a while, i should try it again it’s pretty fun! really good method for returning to a dr too since i already know what to expect)
getting engrossed in a daydream or scenario that makes me feel emotionally connected (this is how i shifted to my waiting room for the first time and had… relations… with my s/o(s) lmaoo 10/10 would recommend)
focusing on how much i miss my anchor person (in a lot of my drs i have my cr mom there or my dr siblings. but in the case that i dont, i usually still have a person who grounds me and is my lifeline. pretty much a person who i know i’m always emotionally connected to. i did this with storm in my x-men dr, just imagined her appearance since i had no face claim for her and shifted to see her.)
looking at my dr self in the mirror! (this is something i’ve used twice and though it didn’t get me to fully shift, i almost did both times. this is especially good if you’re great at visualizing. i really just imagine myself standing in the mirror and think about seeing my dr self reflecting back at me. i analyze my features, i get excited for having them, and i just really like looking at myself in general LMAOO so really good method for that.)
getting into a stream of consciousness and then focusing on senses. (i’ve talked about embodying the dr self for the last 2 years, that’s the method that i made up and it was pretty viral in 2024-early 2025, you can find details about it on here or tiktok or even twitter but basically you just think as your dr self until it becomes natural. start out asking questions and then answer them and then flow into the next thing. this method takes trust in your intuition. a lot of people asked me how they “know” they’re actually thinking as their dr self and not just making it up and to that i say, everything is made up within the world of shifting but if you’re connected to it and aligned it’s true. so believe it’s true!)
doing a dr recall (now this is a technique i only talk about with my friends fr but it’s always gotten me crazy good results even when i wasn’t trying to shift. basically i get myself relaxed or in a meditative state and “call in” my dr self to guide me through our life. i then begin with the very first detail about myself: my birthday, parents, location of birth and move in chronological order of everything i’ve been through. this is a longer method and i usually don’t use it for shifting but to gain downloads and connect with myself. if i get to a period of time that i can’t recall, i simply wait to see what intuitively comes up and that’s when the magic truly happens because i’m basically merging with my dr self’s mind and gaining memories through that. anywho, i love this one the most lowkey and it’s quite fun because i always come away knowing more than i ever thought i could.)
zooming into a particular scene while my mind is wandering (varying success fr because focusing too hard actually keeps me grounded here but usually done when i’m tired and already thinking of my dr naturally. i just loosely imagine myself zooming in. i don’t try to make the scene clearer or more vivid, it will do that itself. and once i get super close, my breathing kinda picks up so i affirm “i’m safe to shift.” and keep going until it happens. orrrr i give up and go tf to bed bc i’m already tired lmfao.)
i hope that this can give y’all motivation and help you to recognize that you can shift however you want! i have so many techniques and i genuinely just try what feels right in the moment. this doesn’t even include me simply saying “i’m shifting tn” and letting it happen bruh. also notice that the things i try sorta have a pattern. that’s because i know imagining and visualizing and affirming work for me!! and the reason it works??? because i’m actually doing shit i WANT to do. don’t take these techniques unless you like doing them. don’t force yourself to copy me just because it worked for me. only try em if you’re truly curious and like how they feel intuitively. thank yaaa and happy shifting xx
Are you sick and tired of the 3D showing you the exact opposite of what you want?
Don’t you just hate it when you spend three hours doing your mental diet, only to get a call/message from your Specific Person that completely ruins your mood?
Are you exhausted from "ignoring the 3D" but secretly checking if the 3D has changed every four seconds? Is your self-concept currently sitting at a solid 2 out of 10, and your inner critic louder than a jet engine?

You said decide and it’s created. So what do you do when you don’t see it in 3D instantly? Where was it created then?
In the 4d. Your mind, your thoughts, your imagination, the only real reality where creation happens. The 3d is your bitch, it only follows, it can not act on its own. The only thing it is good at, is mirroring your 4d. Whatever lives in your imagination is being adapt by the physical reality.
That's where the analogy comes from "when you look into a mirror and want to see yourself smile, you don't wait for the mirror to change - it can not do that - you start to smile on your own and the mirror reflects that". Everything around you stems from your imagination. Imagine it and it is yours in the same instant. You want the 3d to confirm instantly? It does. Decide so. You are the one who has created lack or delay or whatever you want to call it when you are absolutely capable of forming the thought "I have it"
soo…can we come up with some ways to make shifting fun again? we need some more story times on the tl. and i wanna see more people talk about their drs 👉👈😅
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 𓂃 you’re trying to feel your dr with your cr senses
⠀a lengthy shifting guide
why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? you’ve 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 here—that 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 “starting point” 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 might’ve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.
it’s 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 “vessel” 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. don’t touch it, but notice it’s 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 aren’t fully able to, but this is the observer. “the observer”, 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. fyi—i’m 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 don’t 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, you’re 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 you’re 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, don’t 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/self—one 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 “shift” for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. you’re not going to. you’re so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this reality’s bodies’ senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that it’s never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels aren’t going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because that’s what bodies do. so don’t lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like you’ve failed when they don’t. 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, it’s about acknowledging what’s beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.
if you can still feel your cr, it’s not you feeling it, it’s 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 self’s than your senses are. if you start getting doubts mid attempt or can’t let go of the thought or feeling that you’re 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 they’re 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, that’s where you’ll “be”.
obviously there’s 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 you’re interested in my method though, here’s the compilation of all this info into practical steps you can actually take to shift.
get comfortable somewhere you won’t 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? that’s coming from the lamp by the xyz in your dr bedroom. or maybe your in a field if that’s a fitting setting for your dr, and it’s the sun shining down on you. shapes? that’s because you’ve been lying down with your eyes closed for a while now, you’re tired after your classes or job or whatever you do in your dr. even if it’s nothing at all, let it be your drs nothing. just feel it. do this for about a minute.
then move onto your body. whether it’s 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. don’t worry if you can still feel your body lying in your bed, because your surroundings aren’t going to change—at least not physically. again, those sensations belong to your cr self, and they don’t 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 can’t fully avert your focus away from your cr, that’s 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 you’ve already managed to make a connection with your dr through your sight and physical senses just build up on what you’ve 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 don’t 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 you’re just indefinitely “here”. it’s 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, i’d 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. you’re just picking up on what’s already there, feeling something that a version of you already feels.
persist in the belief that reality is observed and flexible. you’re not "stuck" anywhere unless you believe you are.
guys how crazy it is that we know about shifting. our community is like what 2 million people max and it's 0,025% of all people. that's literally INSANE hello?? shifting was meant to find you.
How I entered the void in less than 5 minutes last night (If someone doesn’t shift with this, I’ll scream)
I wouldn’t be sharing this and putting myself at risk of sounding like a lunatic who posted one method, and is now posting yet another version of it, if I didn’t have a reason for it. Idk, gut feelings are hard to explain (I’m aware I sound insane right now)
But I’ve never been more excited to share something in my life, sooo that might attest to something.
This will work for everyone in some way. And I’ve never been more certain of anything ever. (Except for the time I pspspsps’d at a black kitty on the sidealk at night, which ended up being a trash bag, and I found out I had horrible eyesight—but that’s not the point here).
This isn’t anything brand new. It’s like my method people have been seeing results with, but stripped down to its bones. Simplified to the core, which I’ve learned actually makes it more effective.
(unless you’re someone who prefers something detailed and objective, then yeah, stick to my main method and ignore this)
This doesn’t care about your beliefs. Doesn’t care about your identity, your self-concept, your doubts, your contradictions. It doesn’t matter if you’re into non-duality, law of assumption, law of attraction, or don’t even have a belief system. This method does not give a single shit. And I say that with confidence, because when this worked for me last night, I was crying. Genuinely, majorly depressed. Everything I usually cling to, all my beliefs about shifting and consciousness and the nature of reality—I wasn’t mulling over any of it. I was flat out over existence itself, and it still worked.
The set-up:
• First, understand something: The screen of space you’re looking at right now—even if your eyes are closed—is the same screen where your DR, CR, the void, your dreams… all of it… will appear. That’s your canvas. Always.
• This works best with WBTB (wake back to bed), so set an alarm for about 3 hours after you fall asleep. You want to wake up just tired enough that going back to sleep is easy, but you’ll still have some control. (You can also do this as you’re going to bed, but it was 3 AM for me after I had woken up,,, so do with that info what you want).
• Now, get this into your head: You’re not entering the void or shifting from a place of calm or confidence. You’re doing it from pure exhaustion. You’re doing it from “fuck this shit, I’m doing it anyway.”
You can doubt. You can feel like shit. But the attitude that follows is “fuck it.” You’re tired of trying, and tired of being on this journey. So you’re just gonna do it. Fuck it.
What to do:
• Lie on your back. (I personally like my back, but I’ve done it on my side too, and it still works. Doesn’t matter. Don’t overthink it. This doesn’t matter)
• You can move. Just don’t care that you moved. After the next step, you won’t even be paying attention to your body anyway, and it’ll go numb naturally,, so the idea here is “fuck it, this doesn’t matter.”
• Now: Notice the black behind your eyes. Just that. The blackness. Don’t try to notice your awareness yet. Just focus on the black. Look at it. Really look at it. LOOK. Keep choosing to look at it again and again. Widen your eyes over and over again, and keep refocusing on it. This will keep you alert, but you’re not forcing yourself to stay alert, got it? It happens naturally, because you’re reeeeally looking at the black behind your eyes.
• Your body’s gonna want to fall asleep. Don’t fight it, don’t care about it, because the fact that you’re looking at the black behind your eyes will naturally keep you from falling asleep.
• You keep your mind locked on that black space, almost like you’re watching a movie screen, but nothing’s playing yet. What happens? You’ll keep wanting to fall asleep—but widening your eyes and choosing to watch the black will keep waking you up. You’ll be in this liminal place going: “Fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it. I’m doing this. Fuck it. Don’t care.”
(What I mean by “widening your eyes” even though they’re closed is: when your eyes are closed, don’t let them go slack like they do when you're falling asleep. Keep them wide and alert, like you're trying to watch something in the dark. You're not tensing them, just holding that sense of openness, like you're staring through your eyelids).
• What happens next: Suddenly you’ll feel your awareness. You’re just awareness now. Naturally. You didn’t right off the bat try to pay attention to your awareness,, you just realized that you are it. Why? Because when you feel confined to that black space behind your eyelids like a coffin, with nothing else around you, there’s nowhere else to run to other than your awareness. Your body will be numb, and your surroundings distant, irrelevant. And you’ll think: “Wait… I’m just my awareness.”
• And then your brain might do what it always does: “Oh no. What if I’m overthinking? What if I’m messing it up?” And you remind yourself: “I’m literally awareness. I can overthink if I want. I’m awareness goddamnit. Fuck it.”
• You’ll start switching—back and forth—between two things (because there’s nowhere to run to):
1. Looking at the black behind your eyelids
2. Noticing your awareness itself
Keep flipping between the two like you’re flickering the lights on and off in a room, but don’t force this. You’ll look at the fact that you simply are, and you'll look at the black,, and you’ll think: “damn?? I’m just my awareness.”
• Then you’ll start to sink. You’ll feel the pull as hypnagogia grabs your hand and says “so where are we going, bestie?” From here, you can either:
A) Keep going as you feel yourself sink, and you’ll fall straight into the void state effortlessly.
B) As you feel yourself sink, you can choose to lucid dream, astral project, or just plain shift from here. To shift: affirm, assume, observe, do whatever you want. The way I shared that I like to do this is by observing my awareness in my DR, observing the fact that I’m aware there (just pretend you’re there, no need to try too hard).
The point is: whatever happens next, if it happens very very quickly, don’t panic.
Just to note:
If this somehow doesn’t work for you—though I genuinely believe it will work for someone—just know the reason I share so many things is because I deeply believe everyone needs different things. The core of shifting stays the same to me:
You are only awareness, and you observe your desired reality until all other options collapse.
But how you get into that is wildly personal. What works for me might not click for you, just like what works for you might not click for me, and that’s fine.
That’s why I keep offering options—not to confuse you, not to invalidate anything I’ve said before, but to give you more pathways of realizing how powerful you already are. If one method feels off, try another. My main method is still my go-to: observe my awareness in my DR, exist there, decide I’m there because where else would I be??—but I love giving variety because maybe this next one might be the one that opens it all up for you.
Edit: (this just came to mind) don’t place a time expectation on any method. This one worked in less than 5 minutes for me, but the next time I try it, it could happen in 10, maybe 20. I don’t know. So if you try this, and it doesn’t immediately work in the way you expect it to, take a deep breath and keep trying, because eventually something has to happen. Trust me.
— THINGS TO SCRIPT ABOUT MOTHERHOOD. ( from someone who doesn’t want kids in this reality )
I. BODILY AUTONOMY & PHYSICAL SAFETY.
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—everything related to childbearing and reproduction as a whole—are completely safe, painless, and non-traumatizing for my body
After birth, my body returns to a state I love effortlessly, without shame or pressure
During my pregnancy, I experience no medical neglect, dismissal, or gaslighting from professionals
Birth complications simply do not exist in this reality—everything goes perfectly to plan, exactly as it’s supposed to
My health is always prioritized by the people around me over tradition, productivity, sacrifice, or anything else
II. CONSENT-BASED MOTHERHOOD.
I become a mother only because I deeply want to, never due to pressure or expectation
Motherhood does not reduce my social, political, or personal power within my life or the world
I am never judged on how I mother—not my parenting style or anything else
I am not expected to martyr myself to be considered “good” or “good at being a mother.” I am allowed to just be and still think of myself
I retain full sovereignty over my identity, my time, and my future
No one is entitled to my labor, my body, or my emotional availability
III. EMOTIONAL SAFETY & JOY.
My child is fundamentally safe in the world
I do not experience constant fear about my child’s survival or future, and I can be away from my child without being anxious or paranoid about their wellbeing
There is no background dread of violence, scarcity, or systemic collapse (for myself or anyone else)
I am supported emotionally at all times
Parenting does not isolate me from pleasure, rest, or beauty. I can still fully partake in and enjoy all the best parts of life
I trust myself completely as a mother
IV. THE CHILD THEMSELVES.
The world is free of gendered violence, racism, and exploitation—my child doesn’t have to grow up in a world with those things or be affected by them
My child is never punished by the world for their sensitivity, curiosity, or softness
They are protected from predatory systems (economic, sexual, political)
They are encouraged to be whole people—complex and unafraid. The world does not make them smaller
Their happiness does not require me to suffer
They are not shaped by shame or fear
V. SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT ACTUALLY WORK.
I am surrounded by a competent, loving, non-intrusive support network. Those close to me help me in a way that truly makes my life easier, without making me feel helpless or smothered
Caregiving is communal, joyful, and fairly distributed. (It takes a village !!)
I am able to rest and recharge without guilt or consequence
Help is offered proactively, not begrudgingly. Those around me offer help because they truly love me and are invested in my wellbeing
No one treats support as a favor—it’s simply how the world works
VI. PARTNERSHIP & CO-PARENTING.
My partner is emotionally intelligent, nurturing, and fully present
Emotional labor is shared equally between the two of us
No one treats me as the “default parent,” or treats my labor as something automatic while my partner is “exceeding expectations” by participating. We are both expected to participate the same
Parenting deepens the love and romance between us rather than erasing it or shoving it to the wayside
I am desired, cherished, and seen as a whole person—not just a mother
I am never taken for granted
VII. IDENTITY PRESERVATION.
Motherhood adds to me as a person rather than consuming me or overwriting my identity
I retain my creativity, sexuality, ambition, and intellect—and everything else that’s traditionally shoved to the wayside when having a child
I am allowed to be messy, complex, and contradictory, because I’m still just a person
I have uninterrupted time for myself whenever I want it or need it
My inner life remains vast and respected
I am never reduced to “just a mother”
VIII. TIME, AGING & MEMORY SAFEGUARDS.
I do not lose years of my life to exhaustion or invisibility, yearning for what “could’ve been” or didn’t happen due to to motherhood
I remember motherhood as warm, expansive, and meaningful—not draining
I can revisit moments of joy fondly and vividly
I am not haunted by “what ifs” or missed versions of myself
IX. WORLDBUILDING RULES.
Patriarchy does not exist in this reality
Capitalism does not exploit caregiving labor
Mothers are culturally appreciated without being controlled or put on a virginal pedestal
Children are valued without being owned—seen as whole people and not accessories
Care is a social priority, not a private burden that mothers are expected to shoulder quietly
Safety is automatic, not earned (for me and my child)
X. COMFORT & SOFTNESS.
Motherhood feels magical rather than draining
Quiet domestic moments feel rich and cinematic—I find real joy and fulfillment from even the smallest moments with my child or family
I experience deep peace simply watching my child exist
Love is abundant and not scarce. I have so many more moments of adoration and peace in my motherhood experience than stress or exhaustion
There is beauty in the ordinary
& ONE ALL-ENCOMPASSING RULE:
“Anything about motherhood that would cause harm, fear, loss of self, or systemic suffering is automatically corrected, softened, or removed in my desired reality.”
YOU CAN LITERALLY DO ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR MANIFESTATION.
STOP TREATING MANIFESTATION LIKE IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN FAIL. well, new fucking flash IT'S NOT.
it doesn't matter whether you affirm for 10k, whether you're spiralling, whether you don't even believe in your affirmation, whether you're just scripting, whether you have messy circumstances, you don't even have to lift a fucking finger and YOU STILL GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. just be stubborn about it.
IT'S EITHER YOU HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T, as simple as that.
pleaseeeee, don't make a manifestation a choir. DO NOT try to find new & “faster” technique everytime you're spiraling, just choose one that makes you feel comfortable and stick with it.
BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE TECHNIQUES HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE, TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
IN THE END, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE TECHNIQUES. IT'S ALL *YOU*. YOU ARE THE POWER = THE POWER IS WITHIN YOU, CAUSE REMEMBER, NOTHING IS OUTSIDE OF YOU.
1. Get comfy and close your eyes. Relax, the same way you would before you sleep. Maybe even put on some ambiance that reminds you of that reality, just for full immersion.
2. Begin to feel the placement of everything around you in your DR bedroom using proprioception. Not visualising, just feeling and knowing that, "yes my bed is here and my closet is there, I am laying next to the open window, I can feel the breeze on my face..."
3. Accept that you are here right now, in your DR. Relaxing and taking a nap. Maybe you're laying beside your s/o, maybe you feel the bed move as they change their sleeping position. Just enjoy the relaxation and the feeling of peace that comes with it. Do you have a chore to complete later in your DR? You'll do it after this nap... you feel oh so comfortable. It would be a shame to get up... Now you're thinking like your DR self, role playing a nap. Which is good! Its what we are going for.
4. From here you have two options:
a) Actually fall asleep, and it doesn't matter where you wake up. What matters is that you were in your DR while you were sleeping even if you open your eyes to your CR, you know what you experienced.
Or
b) Open your eyes when you feel ready and no matter what reality you are seeing now, accept the fact that just now you were in your DR and you were taking a nap there.
On the days when shifting felt too overwhelming and methods were just more unwanted baggage, I would use music.
I would put on a floaty song, think Stray.wav, Let it happen, sdp Interlude, etc (all slowed and reverbed lol). Then I would close my eyes and pretend that the music was guiding me into my DR.
Either that or thinking that the music was levelling me up somehow and making shifting easier for me. I know it sounds silly but it genuinely worked. I would sit there thinking, "its working. I can feel myself shifting 🤩" Just using the music as kind of a power up.
It was fun too. I would get super into it and not even realise that I had shifted already. The only problem was that I would get startled and panic and then purposely shift back. Still working on that though.

ㅤㅤㅤyou have an incredibly big heart and it shows in everything you do. you willingly extend yourself to others, something at the expense of your own comfort, because you understand that some forms of support require you to step out of your comfort zone. you are a big advocator for peace and love and do your best to spread that message to all it can reach. you are highly considerate and sensitive to the feelings of others and your care for people and humanity as a whole is truly commendable.
ㅤㅤㅤyour voice is light and airy, never harsh or jarring or loud. people honestly don't even think you can raise your voice or yell because of how consistently soft-spoken you are. your voice has a natural soothing quality, relaxing any that hear it. you are able to disarm people and deescalate situations just from speaking. people fall in love with the sound of your voice and it replays in their minds at times of high stress and discomfort, calming them down and bringing them back to earth.
ㅤㅤㅤyou are mother nature's beloved daughter, and her love for you shows every second in ways others wouldn't notice. she plays with your hair with the wind, she blooms flowers where you walk, and her children (animals) flock to you every time you are near. you are never in doubt that she loves you just as much you love her, she refuses to allow it.
ㅤㅤㅤyou possess a deep spiritual connection with nature. you understand nature better than anyone else ever could. your soul is in-tune with the magic of the elements, deriving power and protection from them that no one else can experience. you constantly find yourself trekking through serene forests, reading on tree branches, and visiting your animal friends at the creek. nature is your eternal home, always there to welcome and protect you.
ㅤㅤㅤyou dress like a cottagecore fairy princess. you gravitate towards more garments that are light yet covering. your wardrobe consists of many flowy dresses, plush sweaters, boots, scarves, and various cracked prescription glasses you can't bring yourself to throw away. you thrift or make most of what you wear, preferring those methods because it makes you feel more connected to the world.
ㅤㅤㅤyou are not a fan of fast fashion and always seek to obtain and create ethically-made garments with long-lasting and safe materials. you prioritize comfort and durability in what you wear and don't shop just to shop. you meticulously curate your wardrobe and avoid buying excessively as you are knowledgeable about the harm it causes.
ㅤㅤㅤanimals love you, following you around and constantly showing you affection. you naturally bond with all kinds of animals, especially ones that happen to be your favorites. it is rare for you to be seen without some cute creature nearby, reveling in your comforting presence.
ㅤㅤㅤanimals feel comfortable being touched, picked up, and held by you and allow you to do so freely without hurting you, getting scared, feeling unsafe, etc. even contact animals wouldn't normally like, they naturally enjoy and allow from you (e.g., petting a cat's belly, touching a rabbit's feet, etc).
ㅤㅤㅤthere is no creature alive that is immune to your sweet, disarming charm. even the most mean, aggressive, violent animals become soft cuties when you come around. animals are immune to showing any kind of aggression towards you and none could bring itself to harm you. your aura disables their predatory instincts and relaxes their survival mindset, allowing them to feel safe and secure with you.
ㅤㅤㅤeven though you are perceived as harmless and don't get angered easily, you have a fiery, dangerous side to you that is a force to be reckoned with. when you get truly upset, it puts everyone around you on edge because they can feel it radiating off of you. it's like a flip switches and you become the most threatening, blood-chilling, fear-inducing individual, the sweet and gentle you everyone knows shattering before them. getting on your bad side is like waking up a demon and any that are subject to the displeasure of being on the receiving end of your wrath live to regret it for the rest of their lives.
for my shifters who are wanting out of here ASAP, i want you guys to focus your energy and attention on how relieving it’ll feel to be in your dr instead of focusing so heavily on wanting to escape.
it’s 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 don’t have to feel like you’re begging to be let out. you are already free.
