I love spending time in my wrs with my comfort people. Sometimes it's even better than any other reality, zero stress and max piece.

I have a lot of wrs but my favorite is the one in the rainforest for sure. Having a treehouse in the middle of a raining forest >>

Have been using my phone for almost 4 years now, it's still good but I got bored and wanted to have a change. So I decided, not too long ago, that I will have a new phone.

My phone fell off my desk a few days ago and broke. And now here I am, waiting for my new phone to arrive. Call it manifesting if you want, doesn't matter, it's all the same to me.

What do I mean with that? GO AND SHIFT TO THAT DR, everything is possible as long as you believe that you can do it!!!

[etisstuff]

一 Some Advices If You Need!

My biggest advice for shifting would be "stop taking advices". No, like literally! Some people have to accept that shifting is different for everyone. When a shifter shifts by "rolling back and going to sleep" then this works for THEM. And same, if a shifter "needs a whole step by step guided method" then again, this works for THEM.

We as shifters have to accept that our bodies and awarenesses work and shift differently. We have to find "our own method", which can be going to sleep and waking up in their dr for some, or doing guided methods for others. Doesn't matter. Find your way. Listen to your body/awareness.

Plus, yes shifting is easy but I'm sorry to say this.. you do need to put a little bit effort in it. You need to put effort into finding your way to shift. The shift itself is easy, but shutting down your alter ego and overthinking/doubting thoughts and making your body get used to shifting needs a little bit time. Especially if you've gone years without having made any progress, PUT A LITTLE BIT EFFORT. A minishift is still better than no shift.

Another advice would be changing your dr's. What does that mean? If you keep trying to shift to one specific place for a period of time but feel like you're "stuck" or can't shift. Change your dr. Don't overthink it, you don't even need to make a script for it. Just find a place on tumblr, pinterest or wherever you want, and look at it for a couple of moments before deciding to be there. A new environment can be more helpful instead of doing the same rutine for the same dr everyday.

My next advice is, to be patient and have zero expectations. You shouldn't expect to shift in seconds (which you can) but usually (even me as a master shifter) people need time, even to just relax and get into that state. So yes it might take you hours, or even days/months. And with no expectations, you won't be discouraged. High expectations will make your doubting thoughts speak louder in the back of your brain.

My last advice is to treat shifting as a hobby that gets old and uninteresting. I always say this, but treat shifting like a thing you are used to doing and even start getting bored of. Shifting is natural and normal, if you treat it like a magical thing which you have to "earn", your mind will react to that and keep reminding you that you've not done it yet (which is not true). Always remember that you shift all the time, you don't even stay in your "cr" for longer than a couple of minutes sometimes, because every decision you make causes you to shift into another reality. So acknowledge that and never forget that SHIFTING IS INEVITABLE.

[etisstuff]

Each "failure" gets you closer to your goal.

After waking up from a "failed shifting attempt", just say that you have shifted and change your perspective.

I realized that, after returning from my shifts I actually don't remember how, when and where I shifted directly right after the return and the day goes on like usual. The memories just come naturally days later and that's how I know that I've shifted.

Your "failed" attempt is not a failed one but actually, you may not be remembering it since your body and memories from this reality stay in this one and that "clone" of yours is not the one that's shifted. Plus, even if you haven't shifted, you (re-)learned something new.

So again, you have not failed. You are what you say, if you tell yourself that it was a shift (which it probably was) then it's so. Just pretend as if you have returned after that "attempt".

This might help, if you're struggling to change your mindset.

[etisstuff]

Actually the less you know about shifting the easier it is to shift. By adding more and more useless informations to your shifting knowledge, the harder it gets to achieve your goal.

Because everytime you "attempt", those unnecessary informations cross your mind and you automatically put unwanted pressure on yourself. So you might have to start relearning the excess knowledge for a healthier journey.

Don't overconsume shifting content!!

Listen to your body!!

Shifted back from a short date with my s/o. Miss him already!

Got super jealous while sharing a piece of cake btw, but then remembered that I scripted "he's in love with me and has eyes only for me". So I had to sit down like a mature and nonchalant gf.

Still wanna rip those hairs out of that girl's head tho, she seemed a little too excited for MY cake and MY man.

[etisstuff]

一 How Do I Shift!!

This works for ME, but I've seen lots of shifters who were talking about the (almost) same "method".

Also, this method makes me shift everytime. And it's an awake method, but of course you can shape it yourself and make it an asleep one.

I'm someone who calls themself lazy, so I choose the easier way to shift. But just know that, it doesn't matter how "lazy" you are while shifting, the awareness is yours at the end of the day and we all know that we still manage to shift even with doubts, so being lazy shouldn't be a problem, should it?

I'm gonna explain it to you with a step by step tutorial.

Meditating is optional btw, some people seem to have a huge obsession with it and call it "a must" but to me, it doesn't really matter.

Actually no meditation pre-shift works better for me, because I always get tired when meditating and that causes me to be too sleepy to focus on shifting.

⋆ 𐙚 ̊

I. Obviously the first thing I do is to lay in a comfortable position, because I expect my body to go numb.

Depends on the mood, but I usually fall asleep on my sides so that's how I choose to lay.

II. I love to listen to some subliminals while shifting, ones who are not too loud but still help me focus and cancel the noises from outside.

I recommend carly shifts' subs, especially the "void" one.

III. I like to call myself a master in reaching the void state. There were days where it only took me like 7 minutes to get in it. (Yes, I've checked it.)

How do I reach the void?

I don't know. Like fr, I don't know.

The only thing I know doing is concentrating on my breath, while letting my thoughts fade. Sometimes I also like to count each breath, helps me relax.

(Ps: the more you relax the more it's easier to get into that state.)

Another thing I do is, to watch the darkness behind my closed eyes. The lines and shapes my brain creates. If you know what I mean.

And when I finally stop thinking about anything and start feeling my head spinning, that's when I know I have entered the void state.

It's okay to not exactly know how it feels like when you haven't been there, even I don't know how I have to identify it sometimes.

When I have entered the void, I don't affirm rapidly. First I like to make sure that I'm really in it.

I let my head spin longer for a few minutes, I feel my body go more numb and become just awareness.

When you are actually in the void, you are supposed to not know where you are (for me). Because when I get deeper to the state, I lose every thought and feeling of my surroundings. I even remember asking "where am I?" a few times.

IV. When I'm pure consciousness, I know I'm ready to affirm.

I don't do robotic affirmations or repeat sentences fastly.

The most used one by me is "I have moved my awareness to my desired reality." Besides that I just use like three to four affimations.

But for me the key is to keep yourself calm, I repeat my words slowly and confident.

V. (In my opinion) the most important step.

Visualizing.

When I have done all the things I feel like doing and know I'm almost there, I start being my dr self.

What does that mean?

I'm talking about you pretending to be the desired you.

I love to think about the place where I want to wake up. Usually it's my dr bedroom. I don't think about the details, whether the ceiling is far or closer to me or the color of my desk. But I think about the position I'm laying in and where I'm laying in, in this case it's my dr bed.

I think about the door of my room and on which side the window is, to feel the energy, so that I have a little opinion about the location of myself.

Then I try to smell the scent of my room. If you have scripted an exact scent, go for it. Mine's usually either a soft scent like vanilla or a strong one like oranges (depends on the dr and my mood) because I feel like those are the ones my brain identifies and catches the most.

I just remind my brain how they smell like till I actually start smelling them.

At the same time I try to feel the bedsheets under me. Are they soft, warm, big..?

VI. The last part is to just open your eyes when you feel the change, or fall asleep.

But if you still can't feel like someting has changed, here's what I do:

Keep visualizing! Yes, create scenarios. And that's when the actual "be your dr self" part starts.

Keep thinking like them, feeling like them.

Make up something in your head, imagine how the next day will go when you wake up. -> My personal favorite.

Think about the person who's gonna wake you up in the morning, think about reaching to your clothes, feel the fabric, think about the outfit you're gonna wear, think about the people you're gonna meet, how you're gonna react when you see them, imagine eating lunch with you're s/o, imagine sharing your drink with them, remember how tight they hugged you the last time, remember how good you felt and how heavenly they smelled...

Do this until you either actually start feeling changes or fall asleep.

𑣲 And that's it, you are in your dr!

Hope this helped someone.

Always remember that shifting is super personal and not everything is gonna help you. Listen to your body, know what you want and need to shift.

Shifting is natural, it's not something you need to learn. The only thing you "need" is to be aware of it.

Shifting is up to you, you decide what you want and where you want to be (whenever you want to).

No method, no shifter, no subliminal is your guider. Yes, they may help in some ways but at the end it's you alone again, and you are the only one to know "how to do it".

You also should know that, since everyone has different experiences, never compare your journey with others. Some shift at their first try, some need more time.

I shifted for the first time just in 20 days of "trying", but eventually after giving up for 5 years.

See? It's different and personal for each shifter.

Don't give up just because you've been trying "for too long" or "something's wrong with you". Nothing's wrong with you and it doesn't matter if you've been trying for too long.

I don't want to be the person to say "you use a wrong method" (because there is no thing such as "doing something wrong" in shifting), but maybe, just maybe the method you try is not the one for you. Or maybe you are a little too harsh on yourself and push too hard.

Because the moment I stopped listening to others, and stopped copying methods but started actually listening to myself and found something that worked for me, I shifted.

And even after years of trying, the second you shift will make you forget about every failed attempt and every doubt you had. Every single second will be worth the long wait.

You are meant to shift, no matter how long it takes, you will make it!

[etisstuff]

Off topic but, I'm kinda jealous of bloggers whos posts are literally super cute and aesthetic. Like how do they find the motivation to use such cute gifs and symbols every single time. Been trying it for decades but mine either don't look good enough or I'm just too lazy.

[etisstuff]

Tbh I don't agree with all the "daydreaming effects your journey in a bad way" thingy.

For me, even when I was daydreaming and obsessing about my dr the whole day, I still managed to shift. So, I guess shifters may have other issues which cause them to not shift.

[etisstuff]

一 Things That Helped Me With My Journey!

1. Count minishifts as full shifts: I put this on the first one because in my opinion it's one of the most important mindsets a shifter can assimilate.

There's no things such as a "minishift", even feeling just a small change in your surroundings tells you that you've shifted.

Doing this each time you feel like having "minishifted" will make you realize that shifting is easy and natural, and it will help you find your way to shift.

2. Be nonchalant: I see a lot of people struggling to see shifting as something natural and normal. They overthink and doubt too much that they forget that we actually shift all the time.

My advice is to make shifting boring. What does that even mean? - Treat shifting like something that chases you, not the other way around. And as if you kinda get bored of shifting all the time.

See shifting as a boring hobby in which you start losing interest. Don't obsess, don't overdo anything but just let shifting go with the flow. Tell yourself that you already have everything you want, and that you don't really need shifting.

3. Live your life: You still have a life in this reality. Treat it like a DR of yours, how would you want your desired self to go on with their day? Lay in bed all day and pray to shift? No. Exactly!

Get your ass up and live your life. Go to work, to school.. Study for your exams, go to the dentist, cook a delicious meal, learn a new language.. whatever you desire, this is still you and your reality, don't treat it like shit, treat it the same way you'd treat your DR. Because this is also one of your DR's.

4. Set intention: I think this is why we mostly struggle to shift. Not setting clear intentions. If you're new and not quite familiar with setting intention you'll probably say something like "but I already do". Yes babe, you definitely do set intention but here's the thing, do you set intention the correct way?

What do I mean with that? - Something I saw myself doing was just telling myself that I'll attempt shifting. That I'll just try again, and if it work it works..

This is not necessarily wrong but it might also not be the best way to set intentions to shift.

Don't say that you'll try shifting, or do another attempt. But say that you'll actually shift and then just forget about it. Every word that comes out of your mouth or every sentence you even think is a manifestation. When you say you'll just "try" shifting for tonight, it'll go exactly the way you wanted to. You'll try, but will you actually shift? Maybe.. But why only maybe, why not absolutely? That's when you have to set intention to actually shift.

5. Pretend: "Fake it till you make it."

Pretend to be a master shifter - which you already are.

Pretend to be in your DR - which you already are.

Pretend to be your DR self - which you already are.

See? Few steps closer to your desires.

Just assume you already have everything you want and then let go. Act like the person you wanna be and watch reality fold your way. LOA will be one of your best friends in this journey. The more you master it the more you get what you want.

6. Stop relying on methods: I would force myself to do methods all the time. Because I thought they're the only correct way to shift. I would lie in a starfish position, count to a hundred and repeat stupid affirmations after affirmations. What did it get me? Five years of headache.

The moment I stopped doing so, I felt lighter. I listened to my body and tried to find the way that worked for me the best. I invented methods for myself, which I don't need anymore. I learned that we all have different ways and abilities to shift. And (mostly) nothing that anyone says works and that you gotta find your own "methods and assumtions, affirmations".

7. Stop overconsuming shifting content: This only drives you crazy and makes you obsessed.

No shifter will help you in your journey, no method will be your way to success, no advice is the one that helps you to find your way..

As soon as I stopped overconsuming, I knew that I had mastered it. I stopped listening to others because I already knew how to shift, I already knew what was right for me so I didn't need anyone.

But sadly I did this after finally understanding what was my way, maybe if I would have done it earlier I wouldn't have to struggle with overthinking and doubting untill sunrise for years.

Overconsuming doesn't help you, it just makes you obsessed. And obsesion never helps.

You and only you are the one who's gonna help you succeed. You are the only one who's gonna get you your desires. You don't need anyone, any method to help you find the only correct way that works for you. Listen to your body and be one with your awareness.

The second you act nonchalant is the second you've become a master.

[etisstuff]

Mastering shifting more and more makes me realize that I've been actually shifting my whole life and even had full grounded shifts before.

[etisstuff]

一 There Might Be Days/Moments Where You Are "Supposed" To Shift!

So first of all, this may not work for everybody but I've seen that it works for some. And so does it for me.

Everyone knows by now that shifting is inevitable, and you can shift at any time you want to, blah blah..

But I have a small theory, don't know if anyone else said it. If so, tag 'em please.

So, the last time I shifted fully was like a week ago. And after that I did not have any emotions related towards shifting, but yesterday night I felt like shifting again and attempted.

And to my surprise, I actually shifted. This time grounding was easier.

I have seen and talked to some shifters who also have "days" in which they shift.

Again, yes you can shift any time you want to! And yes, you are a master shifter!

But I know how frustrating and overwhelming it can be when you don't know how to move on from a "failed" attempt. Stop focusing on what you're doing "wrong", because nothing's wrong with you. It just might not be your moment.

Some people shift every day, some in 1-3 days, some even shift once a month. For me, I shift every week once to twice.

And if you get what I'm talking about.. you should stop forcing yourself to shift but let shifting come your way. In my opinion, everything has a timing and comes when it is supposed to come.

Instead of overworking yourself, you may wanna rethink about your attempts and in which you actually felt closer or even have shifted. You can shift with any mindset, in any condition, yes! But rethink about those moments where you felt connected the most. Maybe it was at a specific time, day or you might've felt something different, did something different..

[etisstuff]

I literally hate shifttok. There are just too many misinformations spread that gives me the ick.

People still be lying about the shifting = lucid dreaming thing. And as someone who did both successfully, NO it's not the same.

The name already says it, lucid dreaming is just another version of dreaming itself. You're just aware that you are in a dream and that's it. But shifting is something completely different, it's a real life thing.

To all the shifters who are new to the community, don't listen to anyone. If you want to inform yourself about realities and shifting or so, look up for approved docs and infos about this whole thing, and not for some stupid antis who just bully people cause they were too stupid to make it.

[etisstuff]

一 I Shifted!

Last night I slept in another room, so the surroundings were different from the one I'm used to. I think this helped me a lot to not get distracted by my surroundings.

It wasn't a long shift but I felt it. People are talking about "the pull", which I'm not sure what it actually is. I didn't feel much tho.

I think the reason, I didn't feel "the pull" was that I was visualizing myself to be in a quiet environment. I was listening to a subliminal as I imagined to be meditating in my dr room.

As I went to sleep I "gaslighted" myself into thinking that this was either a waiting room or my dr room itself. Then I sat down, opened my subliminal/asmr and closed my eyes. I was "pretending" to be my dr self and thought about "my day". I was like, "today this and this happened.. I felt this and that.." I did visualizations while trying to use my 5 senses. I tried to "taste and smell" each memory.

For a second I forgot that I was in my cr and that's when I opened my eyes in my dr. I remember looking around the room, despite the darkness I instantly understood where I was. And the next second I got too excited and shifted back.

So, yeah.. I still don't know how I did it or how it happened but it just did. I was happy as I finally made it more than just a "minishift". Then I went to sleep and had several dreams about my dr.

In the morning the thoughts of last nights "attempt" neutralized and I was now only thinking about the fact that shifting is inevitable.

So my advice for anyone who needs it, is that you have to stop overthinking. When your stress hormones rise, your brain struggles to focus and you put unwanted pressure on yourself. Stop seeing shifting as something unreachable.

There is no "right" way to shift succesfully but for me, shifting worked the best when I wasn't overthinking and just letting go. The only thing I "forced" was to pretend to already be in my dr. As in "fake it till you make it"!

You should always remember that you and your dr self are always connected. And no matter what, you will make it. Because that's literally you, you don't need to act to be someone else. Your dr self is just you in another body/reality. Your mind, awareness, subconsciousness... are still the same. It's you!

And as someone who doubted in their ability and used to overthink every detail, the key is to trust in your ability. I still have to have a little more control over my emotions, since that was the "issue" which made me shift back. I hope this will be a motivation for all of us. We will do it together, I believe in you!
