a method to help those who practice manifestation and struggle with shifting.
this is more of a tip, a perspective change rather than a method but it does include enough changes to be considered one..
though, let’s not focus on labels! the exact mindset this method is intended to aim for is specific, one where a person believes in both LOA and shifting but seems to find manifestation easier than reality shifting. not even mindset wise, but in practice, they find themselves easily manifesting whatever their heart desires,
while simultaneously waking up in their CR the next day.
this isn’t something you’re imagining, the reason for this limiting belief are psychological.
first, the brain categorizes experiences by perceived distance. your mind may go by the rules of:
manifestation is often framed as something happening HERE, whilst shifting is seen as leaving this reality, entering another universe, dimension, whatever it may be. even if both rely on belief, assumption, focus, the framing alone makes one feel closer.
and our brain loves resisting “far” outcomes.
the second reason is familiarity bias, our subconscious trusting what resembles the known. it prefers familiar.
familiar environments, identity and rules. manifesting keeps the same body, reality, soul, room, timeline, etc.
shifting is described as a new body, world, physics (depending on how weird your DR is) and total discontinuity. our brains see this as a threat.
our last reason (though there’s many more) is that identity perseveration is huge. humans protect the continuity of self, even if you feel more connected to your DRself. manifesting often preserves the identity, adding things TO the self. with the mass amounts of DRs, each individual one being more different and diverse than the other, some people are bound to drastically change themselves. this causes threats to identity continuity, implying replacement or abandonment. even if the person consciously rejects that idea, our subconscious still registers “this threatens who I am.”
my method helps with reframing the shifting experience itself! it makes it seem as co-existing, not escaping or leaving. you become anchored in this reality while simultaneously accessing another “layer”, plane, or dimension within it.
when you intend to shift with this, you do not abandon this reality or go elsewhere. see it as tuning into another layer of existence that overlaps and exists within this one. you will be physically present in your current environment, while also being conscious in your DR. two tabs open at once, and one foreground! it’s literally the same as regular shifting, yet you just see your DR as existing within this dimension. this reality.
because your DR is now perceived as within or even adjacent (you can define how it works, where it is, etc.) to this reality, the subconscious treats it like manifestation. it seems reachable rather than far away. perception changes don’t equal to limitation. with this method, you could feel consciously present in both realities at once!
and remember, this method—or ANY method—is malleable. if you like the concept but don’t necessarily like the idea of your DR co-existing in this reality, make a waiting room! imo they’re really fun and you could easily shift through them to your DR.
this isn’t as well-worded or energetic as i wanted it to be, it was just an idea that popped up in my head while showering, soooo.. yeah! forgive me, reader. ☹️
