Magical and Mundane

I feel that the deeper you get into the magical, may that be shifting, folk practices, occultism, etc. the more you learn to appreciate the mundane. Go and have lighthearted, simple, conversations with others. Things shouldn't have to be serious all the time, it's important to have fun too.

Matter of fact, you can probably incorporate fun "mundane" things into your practice. You can listen to music as a form of manifestation, aimlessly drive to meditate, read a book from your culture to honor your ancestors, etc.

For those of you that are not shifting for love/other than love, what are you shifting for?

Personally, I shift for:

my friendships

environments (like Pandora from Avatar for example)

to practice hobbies and skills

foods 😋

for the sake of science!

and most importantly, to learn and have new experiences :)

Grounding

When I first started slipping into a routine before shifting "attempts", I noticed that what finally made me aware of other realities, even for a little while, was grounding myself in my current one. Rather than begging to be in a different reality, repeating affirmations such as "I am in my desired reality" or "I am shifting", I would calm down and think about here. Feel my bedsheets against my palms, hear the cars outside, taste the mint of my toothpaste from previously brushing my teeth, focus on my senses. Maybe focus on my body too, shift my attention to a toe, then my nose, the left of my abdomen, just to prove to myself how easy it is to shift one's focus. I would remind myself that I am here, and I'm not going anywhere, I will remain here, but simultaneously I am also there, and everywhere actually, and "there" is actually here, I just need to shift my awareness and blur the lines together until I am more aware of whichever reality I desire. Just like I am rooted in this reality I am also rooted in other ones, I just need to shift my awareness like how I shifted my awareness to my toe, just like how I grounded myself in everything.

at this point i’m just desperate, i’m a mess, i’m having constant nightmares about being tortured by russian soldiers, about my partner being killed in action, about my city being occupied and my family sent to a concentration camp

i don’t even have any anger left, i just want to grab people by their arms and cry and yell something along the lines of “don’t you see we are dying over here don’t you get that they are not going to stop”

i want to live

i really do i want to live and i want my loved ones to live and i want to have a kid someday and i want to wake up and look into my partner’s eyes without having to imagine myself at his grave

and he has such kind eyes and my heart breaks every time i imagine them dead

i can’t take it anymore

please don’t let us die over here
