i think putting a lot of power on your shoulders make you feel a bit anxious, or insufficient. in so many years long shifters, they display performance anxiety, thinking "am i doing it wrong?" , "am i doing it right?" , "what will happen now?" , "am i shifting yet?" , "is it happening?" , "what if i fail?"... so we avoid even attempting to shift, sleeping makes us feel cozier. Your mind says "just sleep, attempting to shift will make you tense" and you listen to it, roll to the side and sleep... and at morning, you wake up to your dr room, guilt gnaws at you...
But we dont need to go through this...
I think handing off the "power" and relying on another thing/tool is so much more comforting. I listen to subliminals, my sister says "are you supposed to listen to them without earphones?" and i say "well as long as i assume they'll work, they'll work." and they actually do work.
I'm listening to theta, gamma or epsilon waves and i dont use a stereo earphone, but i shift anyways. I put on a meditation, and just say "this will take me to my dr, im not on the drivers seat anymore" and assume it works, then it works.
Lol its lowkey LOA isn't it. But basically my point is, giving control to another tool or method calms my mind and soothes my performance anxiety. i dont have to say "am i doing it right?" i just say "xyz tool will do it for me, i dont need to worry" and it works everytime!
friendly reminder that you’re meant to shift. i genuinely mean that. you’re meant to experience your dr and whatever comes with it. because if it weren’t meant for you, you wouldn’t be thinking about it. you wouldn’t keep coming back to it. in fact, you wouldn’t even know about shifting. but you do. and because you do, it’s proof that it’s within your field of potential. and even if you’ve had your ups and downs, you’re still trying. and that means something. it means that you, deep down, know you’re capable. once you shift, your past attempts won’t even matter anymore. you’d be so focused on the fact that you finally shifted, that every failure and disappointment just fades away like smoke. and this is something you’re going to experience. i promise you that. don’t give up on something you think about every day.
"I've tried everything to manifest/shift and I still haven't succeeded." Let's solve It.

"realization isn't gaining something new but realizing the ego's illusory nature; by persistently asking "Who am I?" to find the source of the 'I' thought, the ego (a mental construct, not a real entity) dissolves, revealing our true Self, which is reality itself"
"Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.”
-Ramana Maharshi
─────────────────────────────────
The WHOLE problem starts on the "physical". Many people get lost in thinking that the "physical" is real, an entity outside of ourselves, separate from us. But it isn't; the world isn't external to us, but rather something that occurs within us, because we are consciousness. The world is an extension of the imagination; imagination and the physical go hand in hand, because they are a extension. Once this false illusion of separation is accepted, this difficulty dissolves.
Once you imagine something, you are creating it; keep an open mind to that. You're not visualizing something for the future; past and future are concepts of the mind, and the mind doesn't exist outside the ego, and guess what? ego doesn't exist. The only thing that might make you hesitate is this simplicity and the blurring of the lines between physicality and imagination.
The physical, being an extension of the imagination, are the same thing. Abandon the idea that there is a difference! there is no old reality and a new reality; the only thing you do is change your interpretation of it. It's like the famous example: you buy a painting canvas, you can put as much paint on it as you want, but the canvas remains the same.
You don't need methods, examples, subliminals... Just accept, accept that your imagination is the same thing as "physical reality", It's not complicated. It's all simple; the source of everything comes from the "Ego death." Not by treating it like garbage, but calmly; there's no need to resist/"ignore" something that doesn't exist. Once all of this is understood, everything becomes lighter and you will comprehend the totality of everything.
"The ego is an iceberg. Melt it. Melt it with profound love, so that it disappears and becomes part of the ocean." – Osho
Just understand that when you imagine, you are creating; that is already reality. What the mirror shows you is not your results, it shows you what you believe. You don't really think the mirror is real, do you? Stop validating this.
Just accept that you already have...sooner or later your beloved "physical" will reflect. Just accept that your manifestation/Dr. has always been within you, with you, never separate.
As I said in another post, The attempt to shift/manifest only exists when you see the physical as the result, as validation that something worked... but the physical is an observer of what you observe.
this might be beating a dead horse and like not what most want to hear but like don’t just abandon your whole life just to devote to shifting/manifesting. i say this with
wholehearted love and affection but what do you think slacking on school, quitting your job, not engaging in relationships is gonna help? it’ll just make you more hyper focused on “waiting” for results and then we’re back to square one.
another thing, there’s still gonna be a version of you living here when you shift and i know from personal experience that shouldn’t be a tough pill to swallow but it is. When people say “don’t neglect your CR life” they’re not saying that as a “If you neglect your cr life you won’t shift” but more focusing on the fact that this life doesn’t just disappear when you’re not aware of it and no one wants you to be miserable in any life of yours.
quitting everything in your life to focus on manifesting or shifting also makes it seem as if it’s a chore or job; as if it’s something that demands attention and effort when that’s simply…not the case??? it’s actually everything BUT the case. that’s the one thing we try to avoid. is having it feel like you need to have laser focus and precision when it comes to your desires when it’s a natural way of life.
all of this is to say; have fun succeeding in your life, whatever one you choose.
This is honestly so true!! I neglected everything for like a year. Myself, my family, my friends, i didn’t bother applying for jobs.. I had a screen time of like 10hours++ every day and I was so fucking miserable. Like- basement dweller miserable.
When I tell you I couldn’t manifest anything, that is a serious understatement.
Only when I started trying to get better, telling myself I loved my life, and loved myself- that is when I manifested a job (by spending time applying). Then another higher paying job (they literally called me asking if I was available). Then I manifested loosing about 25kg, and now I have my dream boyfriend??
I really enjoy life right now. I have crossed 5 things off my bucket list in just 6 months. I’m not obsessing over results, and I’m not obsessing over the void or shifting- actually, i har entered the voidstate a handful of times now. Even though I didn’t try manifesting through it. I did it. And it feels.. normal.
I am so so happy I took control over my life and didn’t look at shifting or complete life changing manifestations as my only choice.

*REMINDER: the “demons” are not real. you get them bc you’re very scared and your mind starts to conform to your thoughts. since in SP your subconscious is very open to suggestion, it will be a scary experience. think of positive stuff like your dr for example.
also you can literally use SP to get to the void state, lucid dream, astral projection and more.
(1) WAKE BACK TO BED
go to sleep and wake up after 4-6 hours
stay up for 1-2 hours and lay back down
don’t move too much
you will feel SP symptoms after 5-10 minutes
then boom, you have it.
you may wish to shift, or even get into the void state.
(2) TAKE NAPS IN THE AFTERNOON
go to sleep for 4 hours in the afternoon
stay up for 6 hours
go back to sleep again and you feel symptoms IMMEDIATELY.
it’s the same as wbtb but it’s like a PM version so if you know you won’t be able to get up early then do this.
works for me all the time but ion use this as much bc i did it when i had school so i was tired in the afternoon.
(3) STAYING STILL
stay in a still position for 15-20 minutes
you can listen to a sp subliminal
if you feel a scratch or tickle do NOT entertain it.
repeat the affirmations: “MIND AWAKE, BODY ASLEEP”
Sorry I haven’t been very active lately (if anyone even cares lmao) buttttt I got a boyfriend???
I honestly manifested the perfect man too?? The only downside is he lives 2 hours away AND I have to take a ferry. (That costs a lot)
BUT he’s soo handsome?? He’s really strong, and he’s smart and he can drive really well (a big pet peeve for me is people with cars who as had their license for a while and still can’t drive🤦🏽♀️) ohhhh and he’s an amazing cook!!!!
He’s got all the qualities I want in a man and he’s good in bed🤭🤭
All I did was imagine someone holding me and feeling warm and content as I fell asleep for less than a month before we met?? I also listened to some self concept subliminals which really helped me a lot:)
''Just shift,'' but it's like expecting a dog to sit without ever teaching it what the command means. It's not like the dog cannot sit, it does it all the time, every single day, but if it has never related the word ''sit'' to the action, then how is it supposed to know.
Some figure it out really quickly, some don't, and like shifting, it's often harder to teach a trick to a dog who has already been shaped by its surroundings.
Doing it is not the issue, the issue is doing it when you expect it. It has no use telling someone to ''just shift,'' when they haven't ever done it before, all it will do is cause frustration
Today when i walked out the door, I told myself to show me a sign that I’m on the right track and that I will actually master shifting and manifesting (i haven’t really been trying that hard to actually do it cus there’s been a lot happening recently)
And so I bought a fortune cake.. aaandd
It’s pretty vague, i know. But it audibly made me go «what the fuck» and hit pretty hard
Last time I entered the void I really just wanted to Lucid dream
Early in the morning, I woke up, but was still tired so I just looked at my ceiling for a short while. Then I decided to try to LD again and i closed my eyes and almost tried forcing myself to fall asleep but instead I entered the Void. And.. it was so easy??
I didn’t even really get that I was in the void. Like every other time I’ve entered that state it just feels like an in between state kind of. I feel completely like I’m 100% me, but like- more like a newly opened document with just an idea scribbled down.
I didn’t affirm for anything. Was just a bit annoyed I didn’t LD. so I decided to just wake up again:( shouldn’t have done that but whatever
𝓽hings 𝓲 wish i knew before 𝓲 𝓼hifted (as a girl who shifts on command)
as a girl who’s shifted so many times she learned how to do it on command, i can say with confidence that there’s many things i wish i was told beforehand that neither shifttok or shiftblr talk about (warning, it’s a lot).
CUTE DISCLAIMER : these are things I wish I was told . If you do not agree, THATS FINE . this is just what i wish i was exposed too before my first shift that i think will help others like me . When i use “you” “you’re” pronouns, im talking to my pre-shift self in second person. i just feel like this can support others .
001. i would never look at life the same again .
imagine how it feels bringing your subconscious to another place for the first time and realizing you are infinite . everything everyone said was true . it was never just an ongoing tiktok joke, it was real . shit was hard to come to terms with . very hard .
of course, shifting for the first time was awesome, but coming back was… interesting . i looked at everything differently . i feel like shifters talk about what shifting for the first time was like and forget to include the “coming back confusion”
002. after getting used to it, the “spark” kinda goes away .
now i know what the rest of shiftblr is gonna say . “shifting is real!!! don’t romanticize it!!!!” and i completely agree, for this reason . before i shifted for the first time, ngl, i did lowk think in the back of my mind it was gonna be sunshine and rainbows . obviously, i was wrong .
it’s just like any other life on any other day on any other planet . unless you’re shifting to mars or some shit .
It’ll get boring . it’ll get sad . It’ll get irritating . and trust, shit will get real . but that’s just how life is . after i realized thats how life is, i kinda got like . huh .
it’s kinda like how it felt when you realized Santa wasn’t real . if that makes sense .
003. the real world is harsh .
as a girl who was never an actress, singer, dancer, model, guitarist, and songwriter in this reality, imagine my surprise when i saw that people would hate my acting/singing there ??? i scripted i was literally awesome ???? my discography is heavenly????? what ???? they aren’t even nice about it either .
be nice to celebrities!!!!!
004. you’re gonna start wanting to shift to a lot more “niche” drs after that .
soooo, you know how you’re shifting to be a student in hogwarts rn? well, you’re still gonna do that, but you might wanna be a lawyer in another dr now too . or maybe an alien from Saturn . or maybe a scientist who knows the secrets of the universe . or something .
after realizing you can explore every single reality out there, you start to want to experience new things in a more uncommon way . a way that other people probably won’t also be shifting there .
i mean . . . unless you have niche drs already . then like, fuck it, we ball .
005. you will have so many different relationships and dynamics and vibes with people you won’t know what to do .
after shifting, literally everything will remind you of either your cr, or your dr . you’ll remember an inside joke from your dr friend from a few years ago, and then in the same day cry about something your cr friend said while you’re in your dr .
it’s slightly almost kinda sorta maybe a little overwhelming at first, but you begin to get the hang of it as your dr is already something you’ve always known .
it’s fun, too . sometimes I’ll be out and see cute keychains and I’ll be like,”oh, (dr best friend) would’ve loved that.” you get a little homesick no matter where you are, but it’s almost comfortable, it that makes sense . because you know you’re gonna see them again, you already are .
i shift for α∂νєηтυяє. traversing jungle ruins to find ancient idols; cinematic battles that test bravery; sword fights to defend the honor of a kingdom. metaphorical, or literal, leaps of faith that make you question your sanity, but will leave you a story to tell for ages.
i shift for ωση∂єя. to visit lands once only accessible in daydreams that leave you speechless. to see sights without the barrier of imagination or a screen. where i can swim with mermaids at dawn, and fly with fairies at dusk.
i shift to єχρℓσяє. walking through the streets of empires who once thought they were invincible. know the lives of those history honors, but especially those whom history forgot. jetsetting continents in this decade, or the next. witness the past, and the future.
i shift to ℓєαяη. browse the shelves of alexandria before the flames snuffed out the knowledge of their scrolls. speak the languages forgotten or fantastical. if it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, then i want 10,000 lives to take them all on. i will become an encyclopedia of the lives I will lead.
i shift to вєℓσηg. late night conversations. midday shenanigans. racing down the halls of galleries, or jaunting through well-worn forest paths on quests. screens and paper will no longer keep me from those who will understand me as i do them.
i shift for ℓσνє. the type that poets have spent millennia trying to capture in words. desperate grabs, lingering looks, kisses that make the knees weak. where you just want to be wrapped in them for eternity, and beyond.
if imagining is enough, why haven’t i shifted yet?
this may be a question you face and why you roll your eyes when you see people say this. i’ve been a victim of this mindset, which is why i have the perfect advice to help.
imagining is enough. it always has been. but sometimes our energy is pushed too outward, instead of holding said feeling internally. i always say this: “hold the feeling! hold the intention!” but what does that actually mean?
well, for me it means that instead of revving your engine and trying to drive straight into your dr, you took your foot off the pedal and just let it glide. let the car move on its own and dissolve into the feeling.
this is about surrendering when you’re imagining instead of trying to use it to push you forward. it’s my theory that most shifters struggle with the subconscious resistance to just receiving which is why i preach simply being. shifting is natural—it’s effortless but many of us don’t receive it that way, thus, the cycle of resistance.
and this is why trusting yourself is important. trust that the feeling is enough without needing to push for more (more symptoms, more effort, more time).
Okay, so this is one of the few methods that’s actually worked for ME ( it’s not guaranteed for anyone who isn’t me because every each and one of us are unique and we work differently!! ), it’s one I came up with almost two years ago. Back then, I wasn’t exactly having the most patient relationship with shifting (understatement of the century). I was restless, frustrated, oscillating between “I’ll never shift” meltdowns and “tonight’s the night” delusions. Then one night, after watching Loving Vincent and getting swallowed up in his paintings and letters, I thought, fine, whateverrr… I’ll make this into a method.
I call it The Van Gogh Method.
And yes, I already know what you’re thinking, What does Vincent Van Gogh have to do with shifting??? Trust me, I asked myself the same thing. At first glance, it sounds like I just picked a tortured artist out of a hat and slapped the word method next to it. But when it first came to me, it wasn’t random, the more I sat with it, the more it made sense.
Vincent Van Gogh wasn’t painting for fame. He wasn’t painting because he thought he’d be remembered forever. He painted because he literally couldn’t NOT paint. Even when no one bought his work, even when he was broke, even when his health was collapsing, he kept showing up. No waiting for the perfect moment. No waiting for the perfect life. Just brush, canvas, night sky, sunflowers.
This when I was struggling a lot, (WHEN I SAY A LOT I MEAN A SHIT TON) with my shifting journey, I thought that if Van Gogh could keep painting when everything screamed otherwise, then I could keep shifting. I could stop treating it like some exam I was destined to fail. I could stop waiting for the perfect night, perfect mindset, perfect alignment of stars.
The Gogh principle
anytime I lay down to shift, I whisper to myself, “Paint this moment like Van Gogh would.” Which means??? Let it be messy. Let it be imperfect. Let myself try again and again without calling it failure. Because failure isn’t even real here, it’s just another brushstroke.
He painted dozens of sunflowers. Not because the first wasn’t good enough, but because he understood that beauty exists in the act of returning. Every attempt is another angle, another layer, another chance. That’s shifting.
It’s still one of my favorite mental anchors. Anytime I catch myself spiraling, I just think, Van Gogh didn’t stop at one sunflower, so why should I stop at one night? And suddenly, shifting isn’t some giant, unreachable finish line. It’s an art I return to, again and again, until the canvas finally takes shape.
Disclaimer: You don’t need methods. Ever. Shifting is innate, inevitable, built into the very fabric of you. But if you’re like me and your brain loves clinging to some kind of anchor, then methods can help. They’re creative exercises. Playgrounds for the mind. This one just happens to be mine.
