the experience of sight , touch , smell , taste are intrinsically tied to ones memories , you could recall things you forgot years ago from a passing scent and feel as though you are reliving the moment where one was formed from hearing a simple tune . so go through the five senses from a specific moment in your chosen reality ! what's the smell that's in the air ? are there any memories , apart from that moment , that it reminds you of ? what can you see around you ? so on and so forth .

the entire intention behind this event is to revert back to the sort of wet behind the ears view you had on shifting when you first discovered it . when everything was so novel , the excitement and astonishment you felt when you began to fathom how literally anything is possible . a time where you were trying new methods often , not out of necessity , fear , anxiety or desperation but rather like a child that was gifted a lot of shiny , new toys and couldn’t decide which one they wanted to play with first , so they chose to play with all of them . that's the sort of energy you should have when approaching this event ; choosing to do these methods for the experience of it all , first and foremost . for embracing the many different paths of what a shifting journey could entail c:
so i really , reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally have to reiterate the point of tossing away your past experiences with any method mentioned above && go in there blind again ₍ ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ₎ forget any assumption of will it or won’t it work , of any ideas you may have of what this event could or couldn't do to your journey && just literally have fun ! that's all i truly ask for ;;;; to have fun doing the methods and the prompts ,, and hopefully once the two weeks come to pass , i wish for you to still carry the dreamy , starry-eyed view of shifting with you for as long as you possibly can , bc shifting is something so incredibly beautiful and that beauty can sometimes be forgotten when one's journey has been lengthy c’:
- with love always , fawn ˖⁺‧₊˚ ૮꒰ˊᗜˋ* ꒱ა
⁰¹ bonus tip for the methodology : after each method , write down your favourite aspects of it && incorporate said favourite things onto the next method !!! ꒰ i also assume that you could do these as either awake or asleep methods c: ꒱
⁰² for the affs : you can choose to incorporate these into the method , say them sporadically throughout the day , or simply just say them once in the morning / before you sleep ! wtv is most comfortable && aligns with what's truly fun for you <33
꒰ you can also choose to also carry an aff along with you to the next day if you like it c: ꒱
Kashmala Alam - The Periwinkle Princess
"They like to call me Princess Kash" - America's favourite actress
Born November 1962 to a small town in Pennsylvania, she had it figured out from the start. From the roleplays she would have with her friends at school, to the facial expressions she would practice in the mirror. Kashmala was destined to be an actress.
At just 17 years old, she would move to New York City to attend The Julliard School to study acting. During this time, she would act in indie films and do modelling as a side hustle. But soon, her life would change with a phone call.
Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney were going to film the music video for their song "Say Say Say." All they needed was a love interest. Kashmala was contacted by Michael Jackson to be in their upcoming music video. Ecstatic, she willfully agreed. Kashmala gained much more recognition after the music video, which would lead to her starring in hit films like The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, The Princess Bride, Teen Wolf, and more.
(oh and kash and michael would end up becoming close friends !!)
That's Kash coded ༅˚̣̣̣♡༉

on June 25th, 2009, 2:26 pm PDT, we lost Michael Jackson. every year that this day comes around, it always feels heavy, even a little uneasy. i always loved him as a kid, but i really became a fan when i was 12 years old. today also just so happened to be my last day of junior year, im gonna be a senior now. him and his music got me (and is getting me) through high school. i'll never forget the wonder i felt as a child when i was first introduced to Michael Jackson by my parents, with the thriller music video. i still feel that wonder to this day. his talent, achievements, kindness, and passion remains unmatched. he has had so much influence on all of the arts; culture, music, all media. he has had so much influence on the WORLD. his impact is generational, he made history. i was only born a few months after his death, yet i cant help but still feel that the world is empty without him. RIP Michael Jackson.
"Why would you choose to be here?"
"Why would I choose to be here?"
These are some of the questions that I have come across the most while scrolling through shifting posts. It makes a lot of sense too, obviously. Like if you could be ANYWHERE and ANYONE, why would you choose THIS???
To answer that, you have to understand what "Nothingness" means. We all KNOW what nothingness means, but do we UNDERSTAND it? The moment you start defining nothingness, you have already lost its meaning.
Nothingness is empty and has no definition or meaning. Hence, it has the potential to be everything. Everything comes from nothing.
Pure consciousness also comes from nothing. And when you are nothing, that also means you have no experience. To gain experience, you need to become "something" first.
Now let me ask you a simple question. Imagine you have no taste buds and no prior knowledge of food or taste, whatsoever. I present to you two options: pizza and cake. Which one would you say tastes better?
Neither. You don't know. Because you have no idea what pizza or cake is, or how they taste.
Similarly, whether there is a reality where you are an all-powerful omnipresent omniscient almighty GOD, or a reality where you are a tiny little maggot. Both have the same value. Neither is better nor worse than the other.
So when you ask the question, "Why are you (still) here?" YOU are assuming one experience is better than the other, based on your personal evaluations and opinions formed by your experience in this reality. But to consciousness, it doesn't matter.
I have seen so many creators or shifters answer this question personally in their own way. They're bombarded with this question all the time. But whenever someone asks this question of why they are still here in this reality, they're basically judging the other person from a place of superiority. It almost means: You don't know any better, or you are making a wrong choice.
To another person, there could be a million reasons they want to be here. Despite the sufferings, despite the pain or hardships they're facing. This experience matters to them, even if just a tiny bit. You never know.
Your judgment of their reality exists only within yours. And yours is no more real, no more valid, no more significant than theirs. You are not the authority on anyone's existence. You never were.
And yet here you are, asking why someone else is here, as if your perspective, born from the same nothingness, somehow holds more weight than theirs.
In the vast expanse of nothingness, don't forget that you are also nothing!
͝ ༅˚̣̣̣♡༉ Flip phone in hand, sitting on the couch, contemplating whether this decision would lead to the night of his life, or disaster. His parents were on vacation with his little brother, Manny. Rodrick Heffley saw this as the perfect opportunity to throw a house party. After inviting practically the whole school, his house is soon flooded with people in conga lines, erratic dancing, and collapsing from having one too many drinks. But despite all this, what caught his attention was the gentle melodious song of a girl in the corner with her friends doing karaoke. The slight rasp in her voice captivated him, wanting to hear more. His eyes land on her, taking in her bold fashion and free-spirited movements.
AALIYAH DEVORA . . . ͝ ༅˚̣̣̣♡༉
The 16 year old aspiring artist would soon meet an opportunity that could either tarnish her reputation, or become one of the most vital moments in her career. Aaliyah, one of the guests at the party, did not expect that the drummer of the band Loded Diper would approach her that night. His off-putting flirtatious invitation to be the lead singer in his band almost had her reject the invite. However, opportunities like this are hard to come by. Accepting this invitation from Rodrick would soon lead to her story as a rising artist, and romance with the drummer in her band.
