defiled. stripped of innocence and turned into an abomination in that hell of an institution. selina had always struggled with the reality of her lost purity. viewed herself as corrupted, her soul lacking that essence of humanity. their inhuman nature was a harsh truth for all the unnaturals to come to terms with but she'd taken it quite personally.
she made the choice to see her birth parents one day. it was a stroke of luck on the group’s journey. an office building in new york with connections to the institute. a few experiment files detailing their real names and the addresses of their biological parents. she had shown up on their front door step, hands trembling as she knocked. what if they were afraid of her abilities....of what she had been turned into?
they welcomed her with open arms at first. their joy was obvious. their beautiful daughter found her way back to them, just like they prayed for. it was lighthearted at first, her mother smothering her with cookies and hugs that seemed to never end. then came the explanations of where she had been the last 18 years.
her parents deserved the truth. that’s what she told herself as she swallowed down the anxiety. that icy cold terror that always crept up her spine at the very thought of showing anyone her powers. they had sworn on their faith, hands on their bibles and their hearts, that they would understand. she decided to believe them. they hadn’t given her a reason not to.
she thought that love was enough. only to be cursed by her own father, her mother sobbing at the sight of her demon child. it was a vision they said. one her mother received right after she was born. an angel had come to warn her of the newborn she cradled, how she would be branded by the devil himself and turned into something unholy. they had handed her off to the institute shortly afterwards without looking back.
they felt as though their actions were justified. her father had taken a cross and brandished it, demanding satan give him back his daughter's soul. a reunion tainted by faith and fear. she had stumbled out that night, furious and heartbroken, crying into the arms of the only family she had left.
#who needs parents when you
can have found family instead ! 🙏🏾
Heyy can I please request a “Mother Nature-like powers to script”? Thank you
︵ powers to script : mother nature based ♡
♡ zoolingualism : the user is able to understand the speech and emotions of animal life forms and talk and communicate with them. this ability is quite uncommon and multifaceted. some variations are magic based while others are natural talents or mental powers, similar to telepathy (but limited to animals). the use of zoolingualism is sometimes imagined as imitating animal sounds, like the barking of a dog. zoolinguists are normally shown using their abilities in their native language, in an animal-language (like parseltongue or mangani), or even mentally without any spoken words.
♡ beast lordship : the user has absolute power and control over all beasts and animals, they have unlimited control and power over all manner of creatures ranging from the mundane (dogs, cats, turtles) to the most powerful and mythical (dragons, sphinxes, phoenixes). they control them to do their bidding like, help them during situations, use them against foes, use them to see locations and get information about a particular place, use them for flight. some can see through the creatures' eyes that is controlled, allowing them to spy on others. user can also understand or communicate with them, hence creating and strengthening friendships. the user's power transcends any potential limitations and resistance.
♡ biotic power : users possess an extraordinary biotic power, a living/metaphysical element energy/force of known existence that derives all its abilities that embody any aspects of organic life. in all its power, dragon power, by its concept, can produce endless levels of energy that comes from animal essence a multipurpose power force that can be used to create and manipulate a lot of things like the life force, elements and energies of attributed animals, etc., granting its user a wide variety of powers over time or all at once, family heritage, mutation or given to a user. by harnessing the power of the dragons, users can be capable of extraordinary feats that relate to the forces of all biology, all of which can be utilized to the user’s benefit.
♡ nature divinity : the user has the nature form of a divinity and divine powers granting them an immense amount of raw power beyond the mundane, making him a divine beings by, nature. which is a status that can be obtained several ways for example gaining it by having a divine ancestry, being transformed into a divinity either by another more powerful nature divinity, higher being, by faith, channels, acts as a vessel for, the power/soul of a deity, to mimic/steal powers from a divine spirit/nature divinity, or be enhanced/evolved to the point of godhood.
♡ ecokinetic invisibility : the user can become invisible when in/on/touching nature.
♡ ecoscience : the user knows everything about ecosystems, nature, and the environment everywhere.
♡ elemental connection : user has a profound bond with the fundamental forces of nature—earth, air, fire, water, and others—going far beyond simple control. this power endows the user with an intrinsic understanding of each element’s essence, properties, and behaviors, allowing them to perceive the world as a blend of elemental energies. this relationship enables the user to intuitively sense and interpret changes within their connected elements, such as the fluctuations in the flow of water, the warmth within fire, or the strength within the earth.
♡ environmental perfection : user is environmentally perfect beings in every respect, the pinnacle example of the environment, environmental factors and the natural world and its countless forces. making them totally flawless environmental beings, which grants them any/all levels (transcendent, ultimate, omni, absolute etc) of environmental/natural powers and powers connected or associated with nature/natural world or any aspect of an environment (natural, mystical, conceptual) to their maximum capacity and potential.
♡ life connection : user is connected to any/all life and living things, so that as long as they exists life does as well. this allows them to have both an emotional and spiritual link to every form of life, so if the target feels pain or is injured all living things would feel the same pain and/or possibly gain the same wounds as the user. if the user ever dies or is killed then life itself may cease to exist as well.
♡ nature derivation : the user is the source of absolute/perfect/primordial nature in every living being everywhere, directly to cosmic/universal scales. users being the binding existence together by the force/energy of nature. giving the users instant and total dominion over all the powers of nature, the environment and the elements. as long as they exist all that is nature and everything connected to it does as well. if the possibility exists that user ever were to die or be killed, then everything about nature would cease to exist alongside the user, making all life incapable of sustaining life, everywhere.
♡ nature guardianship : the user is a protector and keeper, a figure/entity that preserves the balance of nature. users are in charge of preserving and keeping the balance of nature, the natural forces, and the world itself. the user may or may not be an embodiment of the natural world itself, but they acquire special abilities that allow them to control all aspects of nature in order to make sure all events within it are in their proper place.
♡ season manipulation : the user can manipulate the ancient cycle of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—bending nature’s rhythm and the passing of the year to their will. through this power, they can shift the world around them through the atmospheric, elemental, and ecological states of any season, regardless of the actual time or place.
♡ nature awareness : the user can sense nature and the environment, including plant life, animals, environments, weather conditions and natural disasters.
Could you make a cupid script? I really like the interpretation that cupid is a type of demon but honestly do whatever ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ
︵ things to script : shifting as cupid ♡

in another reality you are someone's comfort character. people say you are fake/fictional, but someone argues that you are real. they want nothing more than to shift so they could meet you. a hug from you would be soul healing. when times are tough and they don't have anybody to hug, you are the person they imagine.
you are the reason someone survived going through the depths of hell and back, just purely from the hope they get when thinking about you/ knowing that one day they can meet you. you are the reason someone keeps going. the reason someone decides not to give up.
somebody kins you. when they see you, they are reminded that they are not alone, and that someone out there understands what they are going through. someone understands what YOU are going through.

KATSEYE DR ⊹౨ৎ being katseye’s music composer, main vocalist and lead dancer, ARABELLA ANTOINETTE GARCIA, is a highly versatile artist. she is often considered one of the most all rounder members of katseye, praised for her unique vocal tone, wide vocal range, captivating stage presence and excellent songwriting ability. yet despite her success, arabella never imagined she would one day stand on the global stage. had she not taken a leap of faith and auditioned for hybe’s training & development program, she would never have found herself competing alongside twenty other talented girls in a survival program for the chance to debut in a seven member global girl group.
born on 2006 and raised in the philippines, arabella spent much of her childhood along the coast of la union. surrounded by the sea and raised in an environment that encouraged her interests, she developed a passion for surfing at a young age and frequently participated in competitions. those who knew her often associated her with the ocean, where she could usually be found riding waves.
beyond her love of surfing, however, arabella had a desire of performing. she showed a clear love of music at a young age and experienced immense joy when performing. during family videoke sessions, she would frequently steal the microphone and energetically sang song after song as her relatives taped her performances. she would even enthusiastically offer to perform with her brothers and cousins during family get togethers, setting the tone of the day and brightening every space with her contagious grin. nothing seemed to make her happier than being able to sing and entertain the people around her.
ironically, her meekness is her weakness despite her passion for performing. whenever her relatives ask her if she would like a chance to be under the spotlight someday, she quietly looks away and refuses to, stating how she can’t see herself pursuing that kind of career. but long before she did, her parents saw something unique about her.
determined to develop her potential, parents pushed her to pursue her interests and enrolled her in a variety of courses, workshops, and training programs throughout her youth. every weekend was jam packed with singing and dance classes alike, and arabella gladly seized every chance. despite her hectic schedule, she was an honor student who actively engaged in a variety of extracurricular activities where she would even showcase her athletic abilities by participating in playing volleyball and basketball during sport festivals. she even participated in talent and beauty pageants as well, winning numerous awards in the process.
however, in 2019 she has finally had the chance to show the whole world her love for singing by participating in the season four of voice kids philippines and ultimately placed 1st runner up. that same year, she proudly represented the philippines at the world championships of performing arts and returned home with an impressive seven gold medals, further cementing her reputation as one of the country’s most promising young performers.
by 2020, arabella had begun modeling for various brands while simultaneously building a significant online presence. her singing covers and striking visuals quickly gained attention on tiktok, earning her recognition and dubbing her as a “filipino it girl” as her photos would often go viral on other social media platforms such as pinterest and instagram. on a separate account, however, fans discovered a completely different side of her. there, she embraced her love for anime as she would frequently post videos discussing her favorite series, showcasing her cosplays, and ranting about her love for her favorite characters.
despite her growing popularity, 2021 became a year filled with uncertainty. arabella began questioning whether she truly possessed what it took to become a professional performer. as self-doubt crept in, she considered abandoning her dream altogether.
everything changed when she learned that hybe was holding auditions for its training & development program. as a longtime kpop fan whose favorite groups were under hybe, arabella decided to audition. to her, it was a final attempt at chasing her dream. she made a promise to herself that if she failed to get accepted, she would move on and pursue a different future. what she didn't know was that hybe had already taken notice of her long before her audition. in fact, company executives had reportedly considered scouting her even before she submitted her application.
after two years of intensive training, arabella was officially introduced to the public as a contestant on dream academy, where she quickly earn support from her home country and became a favorite among viewers and judges alike. throughout the competition, she continuously revealed skills that surprised even execs, demonstrating impressive versatility in her singing and dancing performances during missions. her determination and growth throughout the show earned widespread praise, and during the finale, she was named one of the top picks by several judges.
when the final rankings were announced, arabella was revealed to have placed 2nd place and was qualified to debut alongside sophia laforteza, daniela avanzini, lara raj, manon bannerman, megan skiendiel and yoonchae jeung.
The I.K. Method ⋆˙⟡ is a sensory-based shifting technique created specifically for the ADHD brain and those with Aphantasia. Rest assured, the technique was created to fit EVERYBODY. Let me tell you, the only skill you need is bluff because we will lie throughout the process. I think it will please “lazy” folks because as one of them, I made it as simple as possible. So here's the sauce!
⋮ ⌗ ┆ Level 1: The Spark (The "Wait, What?" Technique)
⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔
The brain is often stuck in a "loop" of birth reality intrusive thoughts (Especially the ADHD brain). To break this, you use the "Wait, What?" technique.
- The Action: Ask yourself a question that assumes you are already in your Birth Reality or Waiting Room.
- Examples: "Wait, why is the lighting so much softer than this in my WR?"
- The Goal: This forces the brain to "search" for a memory that hasn't even happened yet in the 3D, effectively "hooking" your consciousness into the Manifested Reality data stream.
For someone with Aphantasia, we skip "seeing" and move to "knowing." This is the Non-Visual Map.
- Spatial Awareness: Mentally acknowledge where objects are in your DR relative to your current body. Like at home you can direct yourself even with the lights off. For example; "The desk is to my left. The door is behind me." You don't need to see them; you just need to know they are there.
- Then, we use our senses: Take a physical sensation you feel right now (the hardness of a chair, the warmth of the room) and relabel it.
“This hardness isn't the living room couch; it’s the wooden bench in my BR.” (BR=birth reality, used instead of CR because CR affirms you haven't shifted)
- The Optional “Narrator”: If your mind wanders, narrate your actions in the third person. "They are sitting in the WR now, feeling the air change."
⋮ ⌗ ┆Level 3: The "Gravity Countdown"
⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔
This is the core movement of the I.K. Method. It uses the vestibular system (your sense of balance and weight) to trigger the shift.
The Sinking Descent (100 → 0)
- Use Case: Mostly to shift but you can do whatever you want.
- The Process: Count backward from 100 (I am assuming I am not the only one who imagines a downward movement when I count downward- or I might just be weird). With every number, feel your body becoming heavier.
- The Transition: By the time you reach 0, feel the floor vanish. You "sink" or "fall" through your current seat and land directly into the texture of your DR seat/bed.
⋆˚࿔ OR ⋆˚࿔
The Floating Ascent (0 → 100)
- Use Case: Recommended for reaching the Void State or shifting while staying awake mostly but you can use it as an asleep method too.
- The Process: Count upward from 0 (Same here!). With every count, feel a layer of weight "peeling off" your body. Until you become faceless and formless. (Particularly effective for the Void)
- The Transition: By 100, you feel yourself floating upward, disconnected from your physical body, entering the weightless blackness of the Void.
Failsafe: The “Desired Assumption” Technique
For my folks who fear their Birth Reality distraction. In this method you should simply relabel them (you gotta be creative!) Like, if you hear a fan, assume it is a coffee machine in your DR (go all in with the bluff!)
- The Rule: You never "stop" or "restart" because of a distraction.
And for mistakes in counting, pick up from the closest number you remember. The goal is relaxation and not to be worried.
this is by far one of the most well made, thought out, and overall well designed methods ive seen in a while. i hope you guys like this method as much as me and @linasweetgirl do˚. ᵎᵎ ♡ִֶ⋆. 𐙚˚࿔ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆˚.

UPDATE IVE SHIFTED WITH THIS METHOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHICH IS THE ONLY TIME OF THE DAY THAT MAKES SHIFTING DIFFICULT FOR ME THIS IS THE BEST METHOD EVAAAAA
these methods basically boil down to two steps. destabilize your awareness, and then shift. basically, you'll be trying to discombobulate yourself to the point your awareness is not focused on 3D reality, and trigger a shift. if you have trouble getting into the state of pure awareness or lack of awareness or it doesn't feel natural to you, these methods may be good to try out! this post is also for my lucid dreamers, meditators, hypnogogia lovers, or people who struggle with 3D distractions, and anyone who likes or feels the need to experience "symptoms" (ie, sleep paralysis or hypnogogia.)
honestly, most shifting methods i see online are in some way doing this. lucid dreams, the hypnogogic state, SATS, self-hypnosis, and also all those iterations of the "raven method" the "staircase method" the "alice in wonderland method" etc are all basically ways to destabilize your awareness from the linear perception it is so used to in this point of reality, offering the opportunity of triggering a shift to a different one. they're all sort of either distracting or subverting your focus on the 3D here in this point of reality.
why does destabilizing awareness help with shifting?
when we reality shift, our goal is to find a way to trigger our awareness into a movement in the 4th and 5th dimensional directions. for some, this is easier to do when your sense of the 3D in this reality is a little distorted. this isn't because it's impossible to shift while aware of the 3D! on the contrary, lots of people shift while totally awake and aware in the 3D, in either their CR, or their DR, or even both. but for most of us, our awareness is really used to and really comfortable piloting our 3D body here. so perhaps try destabilizing or distracting your awareness to help trigger a shift.
how do i destabilize my awareness?
there are many different ways to destabilize your awareness, so you just need to find one that works for you. i'll put a few ways to try out here, but if these don't work for you, do not despair. you can find other ways, or tweak them to your needs however you'd like. my goal is to put the ones that work for the most people, and explain them in a way you may not have seen before so make it more accessible. hopefully, i can! i think that everyone is fully capable of all of these methods, some just will come more naturally to each person.
method 2(a)
hypnogogia. this is, or was, probably the most common "method" on shifting communities for a long while. all those shifting "symptoms" you heard about? those are hypnogogic sensations. now, one important note is that i do not believe hypnogogic sensations are directly "symptoms of you shifting", because many people shift without ever feeling any, and many people feel them without ever shifting. hypnogogia is merely an experience when your awareness is in this reality, but somewhat disrupted from its focus or perception of our normal physical senses. this is what causes you to feel as if you are floating, weightlessness, numb, flying, falling, spinning, vibrating, phantom sensations of someone touching you, hearing sounds or words, seeing or smelling someone or something that isn't there, sleep paralysis, muscle jerks, etc. etc.
these symptoms can also be paired with feelings of anxiety or impending doom, or even a visit from the "sleep paralysis demon" but they're not always! personally for me when i started my journey, hypnogogia made me terrified, and i couldn't figure why because i wasn't scared of hypnogogia in general. it reduced over time with practice.
how to cause hypnogogia: hypnogogia is a natural transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, which we usually don't experience because as we fall asleep our mind sleeps before our body. so, in order to cause hypnogogia, all we need to do is allow our body to fall asleep while our mind stays aware. people tend to over think this, and the most common pitfalls i see are people falling fully asleep, or keeping themself completely awake by accident, so i'll troubleshoot those below! this method will be a meditation method, but if you struggle with meditation then please check out this post for ways to get into hypnogogia without meditation, and just come back here for how to shift from hypnogogia instead of dropping into pure awareness from there.
step one: choose the space you want to do this in, and i recommend choosing somewhere safe where you won't be disturbed. you can either do this in bed where you normally sleep, or in a different place like sitting up on the couch, and there are pros and cons to both. in bed, the upside is that your body is very used to falling asleep here. the downside is that your mind is also very used to falling asleep here, so if you struggle with accidentally falling totally asleep when trying to get into hypnogogia, maybe try a different place, during the day, or a different pose.
step two: relax your body. for some meditations or shifting methods it's not consequential whether your body actually relaxes or not, but if your goal is to reach hypnogogia, it sort of is. don't overthink this though, because your body naturally gets to exactly the right relaxed state every single night when you go to sleep. the only complication is that you need to basically trick your body and mind into thinking you're going to sleep so it naturally lets your body fall asleep, but secretly, your mind is still aware. some ways to ease this process are body scans (ie, focusing on each part of your body one at a time, allowing each section to relax as you move your focus to the next. i prefer toe to head, but you do you.) or progressive muscle relaxation, (ie, tensing each muscle, and then releasing it to deepen relaxation. this means like tensing your lower leg as hard as you can, counting to three, and then letting go. this can help especially if you're naturally tense!) key notes: it's okay to move. do you hold yourself completely rigid and still when you fall asleep each night, refusing to scratch and itch or roll over because you think you'll never ever be able to sleep if you move even once? probably not. it's okay move, it only disrupts the process if you let it.
step three: keep your mind aware. this is the key to hypnogogia here, but don't overdo it. some people have the issue of accidentally falling totally asleep, and this is because they're struggling to keep their mind aware. it may take practice, or trying different things to see what keeps your mind just awake enough to stay aware during hypnogogia, without just keeping yourself the normal type of awake and lying there for an hour while nothing happens. you can hold your focus on your breathing, a mantra, put on a soundtrack or white noise, counting, a visualization, or even a physical sensation. i used to place a small stone on my forehead and focus on the weight of it, since it was a sensation just unusual enough to hold my focus without being entirely distracting. if you struggle with slipping into sleep (or have adhd), try something slightly more engaging or add more than one thing to keep yourself aware.
step four: let your body fall asleep. there is no need to force it. your body naturally knows how to fall asleep, you've done it every day for your entire life. just let it, and don't get in the way. if you struggle with trying to get into the hypnogogic state and ending up just laying there with no results for hours, it's because you're getting in the way (sorry!) you do not need to try to force yourself to start having hypnogogia (i think this is a pitfall for some, keeping their body too awake while they engage their physical senses too much) or push it to fall asleep or force it to fall asleep. that will generally keep it away. it's more of a letting go and allowing your body to fall asleep. key notes: your body may test you to see if you are actually sleeping. during the day, there may be many periods where you are at rest (sitting watching tv, in class, at work, etc) where you're still and calm but it would be highly inconvenient for your body to simply slip into sleep at the drop of a hat. so your system may test you, checking if your body is actually supposed to be going to sleep before allowing it to. this is where you'll get muscle jerks, or hallucinations that make you flinch. think of these like the "are you still watching?" pop up on netflix. your system is trying to check if your body should go to sleep or not, so let them pass. you do want your body to go to sleep.
step five: hypnogogia. at some point, you'll start to experience the tell tale sensations of hypnogogia. you don't need to fabricate or create these sensations, they'll come naturally. let them. congratulations, you are no longer grounded in the 3D sensations of this reality. hypnogogia is already the bridge between wakefulness and sleep in this reality, but it can also be a bridge from this reality to another.
how to shift from hypnogogia: there are two ways you can go about this. you can either focus on the hypnogogic sensations and use/direct them to trigger yourself to shift, or let them pass and focus on the fact that you're not grounded in the 3D of any reality in that moment, allowing that to trigger yourself to shift. generally, the hypnogogic sensations people experience seem sort of "random", so you might get floating or spinning or vibrating, etc, etc. if you're trying to use the sensations you're getting, then gently direct the sensations. meaning, direct your hypnogogic sensations to correlate with your desired reality. you don't need to force or control them, just feel them and line that up with experiences or a visualization of your DR. weightlessness? visualize how soft and light you feel in your DR bed. tingling sensations? direct your attention to the tickling, waving long grasses of the field you're becoming aware of in your DR. hallucinating lights or sounds? think of the sounds or light sources of your DR as you become aware of it. if you're trying to focus on the detachment from 3D (helpful if hypnogogia is scary for you, you can stay calmer by not focusing on the sensations) try to relax and let the sensations continue but pass you by. recognize and understand you are not grounded to the 3D experience of any reality at that moment, your awareness has already loosened its grip on this reality, and turn your attention towards thoughts of your DR, mainly on returning to full awareness there instead of here.
method 2(b)
lucid dreams. ive posted before about how to do reality checks to confirm you're in a lucid dream (check out my pure awareness methods for that tidbit) so here i'll focus on how to have lucid dreams in the first place, since these methods focus on how to get into that destabilized awareness. now, a lucid dream is just a dream. the only difference is that in a lucid dream, you are aware. not of the physical 3D in this reality, but of some of the goings on of your mind while your body sleeps. this means that certain parts of your usual functions here are inaccessible because those parts of your physical brain are "off" or performing alternative functions, so you won't be able to read, and you will be in a dreamlike state even tho you're aware. this dreamlike state is enough to loosen the tether your awareness feels to this reality. now, my other lucid dream method focused on how to get into the state of pure awareness from a lucid dream, and that's not necessary for this method. your goal here is to shift directly from the lucid dream to your DR, which is a little different and has its own pitfalls. the major one: accidentally just moving to another lucid dream instead of shifting. i'll address that below!
step one: have a lucid dream. you can wait for one to happen naturally if you get those, or you can increase the chances of having one in a few ways.
start practicing and repeating your "reality checks" throughout the day. repetition is key, because when you're dreaming your brain naturally processes memories, thought patterns etc and that will reflect in your dreams. the goal is to repeat your "reality checks" so often that your brain does one while dreaming, so that you have the opportunity to realize you're dreaming and become lucid. another way to do this is throughout the day, pause what you're doing and visualize yourself noticing that you're dreaming and becoming lucid in a dream (ie, think about it.) do this often enough you start to do it in your sleep too.
you can meditate before bed. choose any meditation you want, and really try to get at least into a light meditation state, because it really does increase the rate of vivid and lucid dreams for a lot of people, maybe even you!
wake back to bed. this is a common technique, where you go to sleep, wake up, and then go back to sleep. the reasoning is that you are more likely to enter an REM cycle quickly enough that your brain is still somewhat lucid, increasing the chances of a lucid dream.
keep a dream journal. as soon as you wake up, write down as much of your dreams as you can remember, even if it's very vague or half a thought. strengthening your dream recall also seems to increase the chance of becoming lucid in a dream.
how to shift from a lucid dream: now, the most common trouble with this method is when people accidentally just go to another lucid dream instead of shifting. be aware that this is a possibility, and practice your reality checking skills so that you can become confident in your ability to tell the difference. reality check while you're awake, and reality check while you're lucid in a dream. do this so often you become able to notice the differences, because when you do a reality check while awake in your DR it will feel exactly as real as it does here, no exceptions. if there is anything dreamlike, muddled, or "off" about the experience, you likely have not shifted.
anyways, with that in mind, i'm going to give two different ways to shift from a lucid dream. the most common i see online is the "create a portal and imagine your DR is on the other side," but very often i see this cause people to step through the portal and just enter another lucid dream instead of shifting. that's because when you're lucid in a dream, youre capable of creating and changing the dreamscape however you want, so your brain is just creating a lucid dream instead of your awareness shifting. if that's happened to you, try the ones here instead!
1) travel to your DR, do not create it. the instinct to "create" your DR around you can tend to lead you to create a lucid dream. when we reality shift, we do not create the 3D world of our DRs or invent it with our minds the way we do dreams, we shift our awareness from this 3D, to another. when you've firmly established lucidity, think about your DR but do not alter your dreamscape to look like it. just think about where you want to go, and begin to think of your dream self (the body or whatever form you take) as your awareness. use your dreamscape however you'd like to travel to your DR (train, flight through space, falling down a pit, it doesn't matter, do what feels right.) just don't create the destination. when you get there, you should become aware of your DR, but make sure to reality check and ensure you're not still lucid dreaming.
2) become your DR self in your dream. instead of focusing on your surroundings (helpful if you tend to just go to another lucid dream,) you can instead focus on yourself. visualize that you are your DR self, having a lucid dream in your DR. the dream can become whatever you want, whatever your DR self is dreaming about, because you are your DR self having this dream. visualize that when you wake up, you'll be waking up as your DR self. you can either keep dreaming and sleeping as your DR self, or intentionally wake up. either way, you should wake up as your DR self. (check for false awakenings and ensure you're not still lucid dreaming.)
method 2(c)
distraction. our awareness can seem to be quite stubborn, and we can feel like we struggle to direct it to what we want. if that's the case for you, try distracting it. think of it like jangling keys in front of your awareness, or the subway surfers clip at the corner of a video to help stimulate and distract your 3D senses attention just enough you can shift your awareness where you want it. lots of methods involve trying to decrease your 3D sensations as much as possible, calm your mind and body, and be still, quiet, etc. this method is kind of the opposite, because some people need stimulation in order to let go. ever zoned out while fidgeting, daydreaming, or getting distracted? the goal here is to gently distract yourself so your awareness loosens the reigns a bit on this CR, and that's your window to shift.
below are some distractions you can introduce, and a pro tip is that whichever sense tends to be the one that you feel "holds you back" from other shifting methods is probably a key one to try to distract with this stuff.
sound. you can choose any sound, maybe a playlist of songs that fit the vibe of your DR, white noise, binaural beats, environmental ambiance noises, ASMR, whatever. it also doesn't have to be calm or quiet stuff. pick the screaming metal rock band album, or put on jackhammer ASMR if that's what suits you.
sight. almost all methods involve closing your eyes, but this one doesn't have to. put on a movie you've seen so many times you don't actively watch it anymore, a Pinterest board, a handmade vision board, a painting you like, a collection of gifs of your S/O, it doesn't matter.
touch. lay somewhere you usually wouldn't, like outside, on the floor, on the stairs. hold something with an interesting texture or temperature in your hand. put on a weighted blanket. hug a stuffed animal. dip your hands in water.
smell. cook food that smells really good. light a candle, or incense. use a perfume, cologne, or scented soap. grab a fist full of soil, or a sprig of herbs.
motion. this, i feel, can be key for some. pick a repetitive motion, like a fidget. roll something in between your fingers, click a pen, tap your foot, bounce your knee, walk, spin in a chair, etc.
your CR body can stay completely awake. you don't need to be meditating (although you could argue this level of distraction is somewhat meditative? but. you know.) you don't need to be focused, or still, or calm. while your 3D senses are distracted, let them be. think about your DR. visualize where you are, what you're doing. think about what you're going to do. really let your mind wander, the same way it might when you're just thinking about stuff here. at some point, the goal is to reality shift when your 3D CR self here is too distracted to notice you even did it. You'll start thinking as your DR self, and when you "come back to your senses", it's your DR senses instead of your CR ones.
EFT Taping, or Emotional Freedom Technique taping, is a popular psychotherapy technique used to reprogram the subconscious mind. This technique involves gently tapping with the fingertips on various meridian points on the body while focusing on a specific issue or problem.
Intro video here.
Anyways By engaging in this type of tapping, the practitioner is using energy work to help clear the energy blockages that are causing the negative thoughts and emotions in the subconscious mind. This helps to release the stuck energy and to create new pathways in the brain to create positive feelings and thoughts.
When doing EFT tapping, it is important to make sure you are in a relaxed state before beginning. If you are feeling anxious, angry or overwhelmed it will be difficult to tap correctly. It is also important to keep in mind what you want to focus on while tapping. This might be an emotion, a trauma or a memory, or even a physical sensation.
To do EFT tapping correctly, you should start by locating your meridian points. These points can be found on your body, including your temples, eyes, chin, shoulders, and chest. Then, take your fingertips and lightly tap on each meridian point while focusing on your desired outcome or intention.
Be sure to use calming language when doing EFT tapping and repeat positive affirmations in your head while tapping. During this process you can visualize yourself letting go of any negative emotions associated with your intention. Visualize a feeling of calming, contentment, and relaxation in their place.
As you continue to tap and repeat the affirmations and visualizations, observe any changes that you feel within your body or mind. With each tap, move closer and closer to a state of balance and reconnection within yourself.
EFT taping is a powerful tool for reprogramming the subconscious mind, as it helps to clear out the negative energy stuck within the body and allowing it to be replaced with positive feelings and intentions. As you continue to practice EFT taping regularly, you will begin to experience more clarity, balance and emotional freedom within your life
So how can this help you with manifesting?
By using EFT tapping you can access areas of emotional and energetic blocks in your body and mind and release them. This can help you create space for new energy, energy that is aligned with your deepest desires.
So how does it work? To start, identify the core issue or belief you’d like to release like a fear of success or a lack of self-confidence. For example with manifesting, do you think you can’t manifest, or you don’t deserve to.. make your phrase relinquishing yourself if that mentality.
Create a reminder phrase to tap along with like “ I release my doubt of the void ”(Or whatever you think is holding you back or you want.) Now you’re ready to start tapping. We’ll talk more about how to do that in a minute, but first let’s understand why this works.
It’s thought that tapping encourages your body to release natural “feel-good” hormones like serotonin and endorphins which can help to create a new emotional baseline. It’s believed that this helps create an environment where you can more easily shift your vibration and attract more of what you want into your life.
Now let’s go over the actual tapping process. Take your dominant hand and use your index and middle fingers to tap five to seven times on each of the nine key meridian points on your body - starting at the top of your head, down the side of your body and ending at the top of your torso. Repeat your reminder phrase out loud and feel into the emotions and sensations in your body.
When you’re finished, take a few moments to breathe deeply and give yourself permission to release any emotions or limiting beliefs that may have come up. This completes one round of EFT tapping. If you feel called, repeat the process for as many rounds as necessary until your emotion subsides or releases completely.
It doesn’t even have to be used for manifesting only. You can use it to help your anxiety, help receive money, feel mental clarity, and whatever else you may desire, at the time of the tapping !!!
HIE HIE people!! We're doing our first challenge here. Simple as the name suggests, we will be locking in for 3 days. Which means, 3 days of affirming, not wavering and sticking to the new story. Your affirmations can be about anything you want to manifest.
Pick 2-3 affirmations to loop to saturate your mind quicker and easier. You can give updates on your challenge in my asks or my very own discord server.
Have focused sessions, even if it’s just for 10 minutes. Ten minutes of focused affirming truly does wonders for you. You can affirm multiple times a day with a 10 minute timer, or just once for however much you want.
Do NOT waver outside of your saturation sessions. STICK TO THE SCRIPT. It doesn't matter how much you affirm if you go back on your affirmations the very next second.
Happy Manifesting!!
with love,
jane.
