hihi, i’m new to the shiftblr community (and to tumblr, i’m still figuring out how to use it right), but i’ve been shifting since the archaic amino days in 2019 !! this blog is mostly just to interact with other shifters, talk about my experiences, and share ideas 𐔌˙. so if anyone wants to be the tumblr version of mutuals, please !!

if people have shifted on accident, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted during the shifttok misinformation era, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted without a script, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted without even know what shifting is, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted without believing and while having heavy doubts, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted simply by intending to do so, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted while having an absurdly complicated mindset, then you can shift too.
if people have shifted while going through terrible experiences, then you can shift too.
at the end of the day we (or at least i) don't really know what makes someone shift. it can't be belief, intention, or a good mindset because people (including me) have shifted without these. shifting is a highly individual experience that is going to be different for every person.
but i see that as a good message, because you can literally still shift no matter what you do! shifting is inevitable, just don't give up.
last night, i saw this post talking about using the 963hz frequency to shift/reach the void state, and i decided to give it a try.
while my experience wasn't as quick as theirs, i put my headphones with the frequency on, laid on my side, and just relaxed my body and counted my breaths. i got to exactly 222 before i gave up on counting and just let my mind wander, instead.
a couple of times, it's like i could feel this presence leaning over me, almost touching my cheek, but i didn't feel scared? part of me just thought that it might just be my "higher self," but i genuinely felt their warmness (?) against my face.
a little while later, i felt my whole body go so tingly and numb, i thought to myself that i maybe i'd reached the void state, but it didn't last very long after that, so i just set some intentions before snapping out of it.
it felt like the experience lasted both 5 minutes and 2 hours, but it was only around 30ish minutes when i checked. it was super quick and felt very easy, especially after i just let my mind wander and relaxed into it!
3 minutes into this video and I genuinely, I’m not kidding, I genuinely never felt so disconnected from my body as I felt before I opened my eyes
I got so scared I had to open them and like I’m terrified??? Because why did that happen so fast and felt so strong so quickly?????
I never trust posts that swear by videos because it always feels like it’s sponsored or something but I’ve genuinely never felt so terrified in my life
Like I could feel my body slowly disintegrating in real time by the seconds (or what I thought were seconds??????????) like I’m CONVINCED I was about to have a spiritual moment.
I wasn’t even DOING anything just passively thinking as I counted my breaths and suddenly I felt my body feel WEIRD. No wonder I never shifted before I’m not ready for that kind of feeling 😭😭😭
I’ll absolutely be ready tomorrow morning though I’m just scared because it’s midnight and I feel watched
Whoever said 963hz will connect you to a higher plane NEVER lied about it
I cannot believe there are actual terf shifters like you believe we can shift realities. You believe someone can become a vampire or superhero or alien but someone being a different gender is too far??? What if someone shifted to be a different gender? Is that not allowed? The core of shifting is that we're just consciousness but somehow gender is absolute?? Make it make sense

WHAT IS HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— hypnagogia is the transition state between wakefulness and sleep. hypnopompia, on the contrary, is a condition that occurs during the transition state from sleep into wakefulness. both of these states are accompanied by involuntary thoughts, images, fragments of memories, as well as vivid visual and auditory hallucinations (like waking dreams), often along with sensations of levitation or falling
—during hypnagogia or hypnapompia, your body is relaxed but your mind is active, making your subconscious mind receptive. “during hypnagogia, you are in a powerful state in which every assumption instantly bypasses your conscious mind, going directly to your subconscious; being absorbed like a sponge thus easily believing anything”
SYMPTOMS
visual hallucinations: flashes of light, geometric shapes or patterns, vivid images of people, animals, or scenes
auditory hallucinations: music, voices, knocking, buzzing, ringing, whisper, hearing your name, explosions, bangs
tactile and somatic hallucinations: sensations of floating, flying, falling, rotating, swaying, rubbing, light touch, bugs crawling on the skin
hypnic jerks: sudden muscle spasms or jerks that may wake a person up, often associated with a falling sensation. in my own case, i observed that the index finger rose on its own or the hand clenched into a fist
if you think you've experienced hypnagogia or hypnopompia, you probably have. besides, we are all different, so the symptoms of hypnagogia and hypnopomia will be different for everyone
HOW TO INDUCE HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— here you will find more methods, below i will give those that i personally like. this post also deserves attention
HYPNOPOMPIC STATE
EASY METHOD
— before going to bed, set an intention in the morning to immediately start doing the method (affirmations, visualization) upon waking up
— wake up in the morning
PHASE METHOD
— sleep 4-6 hours and wake up with (or without) an alarm clock
— when you wake up, stay awake for 5-20 minutes
— go back to sleep with the intention of waking up in an hour or two and being aware of each natural awakening
— it is advisable to wake up completely motionless and with your eyes closed. but it's okay if you don't succeed. after each attempt, go back to sleep with the intention of waking up and trying again
— more details: 001, 002, 003
HYPNAGOGIC STATE
FOCUS METHOD
— lie down and relax your body
— it is advisable not to move, but if you do this, it will not cancel your progress in any way. you can swallow, move your tongue and jaw
— now choose an anchor: breathing, darkness behind your eyelids, affirmation, heartbeat, etc.
— now focus your attention on the chosen anchor. from time to time you will be distracted by other thoughts, that's okay. but try again and again to return to the anchor that will keep your mind alert while your body falls asleep
— “you will know when you have entered the hypnagogic state if you feel your awareness slipping from you/dozing off to unconscious sleep and you feel extremely drowsy, foggy, groggy”. however, let me remind you again that we are all different and your symptoms of hypnagogia may differ from the symptoms of most
— relax. do not attempt to induce or enhance hypnagogic hallucination. watch this for about a minute and then start doing the method
SONG METHOD
— lie down and relax
— play the song in your head until it plays naturally in your head or your mind distorts the lyrics
— it is recommended to sing throughout the day so that this song plays in your head automatically
FOREARM UP METHOD
— lie down and relax
— raise either arm 90° upward so that your elbow rests on the mattress. this is what it will look like. rersonally, i myself raise my hand at the very moment when i begin to lose control of my thoughts. and remember that if you get tired of holding your hand in this position, let go of it and raise the second one instead
— when you fall asleep, your hand drops, which wakes you up. this is a signal that you are already in a state of hypnagogia. you can start affirming or visualizing, but i still advise leaving your hand raised
— put your hand down and let yourself fall asleep
CONSTANT MOTION METHOD
— lie down and relax
— imagine an animal or object that is constantly moving. for example, a running dog, the movement of a pendulum, a flying bird, etc.
COUNTING METHOD
— lie down and relax
— now count in your head until you lose count or have hypnagogic hallucinations. try to visualize the numbers and also focus on their sound in your mind
EYE MOVEMENT METHOD
— lie down and relax
— move your eyes from side to side, simulating eye movement in rem sleep. do it slow or fast, it's up to you. if your eyes are tired, then give them a little rest and start moving them up, down, left, right again
SHIFTING | VOID | MANIFESTATION
HOW TO ENTER THE VOID FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to enter the void state. also don’t forget to do this before inducing hypnagogia or waking up in hypnopompia
— try visualizing the void or start affirming: “i am in the void state. i am pure consciousness. i am.”
— feel how your body becomes weightless. imagine that you are floating without a body in total darkness
— if it becomes difficult to control your thoughts, then say the affirmations again with the confidence that you are already in the void. after that, just relax and let yourself fall asleep with a feeling of fulfilled desire
HOW TO SHIFT REALITIES FROM HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— set the intention to shift realities
— visualize your desired reality little by little. imagine sounds, heat or cold, texture of fabric, etc.
— if it’s difficult for you to visualize, then affirm: “i’m in my desired reality. i’m lying on my bed in my desired reality right now”
— do it with confidence that you are in your desired reality
HOW TO MANIFEST WITH HYPNAGOGIA AND HYPNOPOMPIA
— affirm what you want with the knowledge and feeling that you already have it. repeat affirmations until you get bored or fall asleep
— or visualize the desire. imagine that you are holding the desired thing in your hand or come up with a short scene that you will loop in your mind
— after that you can turn over on your side and fall asleep
IMPORTANT | TIPS | CREDIT
SYMPTOMS
— do not despair if the symptoms suddenly stop or disappear. on the contrary, it is a signal that you need to continue affirming or visualizing. “i’d love to rip a hole through time, reach back and grab past-me who used to give up after hypnagogia symptoms faded, and slap her, because if my goal was mind awake/body asleep, and i reached the sign that said “hey clo your body is falling asleep while your mind is awake”— why. tf. didn’t i just keep going?”
LAW OF ASSUMPTION
— don't forget the importance of persistence, ignoring 3d and mental dieting. even if your attempt was unsuccessful, this is just a reason to remind yourself that true reality is your imagination, and 3d only reflects 4d. your thoughts, beliefs and assumptions create your 3d reality
— what do you think will happen if after each attempt you say something like “i failed again”, “i’ll try again tonight”, “this method doesn’t work”? it only reinforces your subconscious negative beliefs. please ignore 3d. replace negative thoughts with positive ones. “i successfully entered the void again”, “i shift so easily”, “i did it again!” be persistent in these assumptions
TIPS
— have you ever heard about the tetris effect? “people who have spent a long time at some repetitive activity before sleep, in particular one that is new to them, may find that it dominates their imagery as they grow drowsy, a tendency dubbed the tetris effect”. more details here. the point is that before you induce hypnagogia or hypnopopmia, you need to saturate your mind with the thought, affirmation or short scene that you want to loop in these transitional creatures. read success stories, affirmations, look at mood boards, read scripts, etc. this increases the chance that during hypnagogia or hypnopompia it will automatically pop into your head without effort
— don't forget the importance of intention. here's the best way to set an intention
— try a couple of methods when you wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning. wbtb works wonders
— if you fall asleep instantly, then put something under your pillow or sit in a recliner chair

it's finals season for me, which naturally means i'm doing everything but studying. so, today, when i was taking a study break, i was suddenly struck by an idea: what if i just hypnotized myself to shift? if it works in movies, it might as well work in real life!
i pulled up a hypnosis spiral video, muted it, put on my noise canceling headphones, and just watched it. for 30 minutes, i sat there and did nothing but watch the spiral on my screen, sometimes crossing my eyes, sometimes spacing out, sometimes really focusing on the center, and through it all, i just kept doing shifting robotic affirmations, like "i can shift on command," "i trust in my ability to shift," "i am a master shifter," etc.
the first 15 minutes honestly just flew by as i kept affirming, i thought it'd been at most 5 minutes, but when i checked, triple that time had already passed. around that mark, i started to get really bored, so i just doubled down on my affirmations, still watching my screen ceaselessly.
around 5 minutes later (20 minutes into just watching the hypnosis video on my screen in silence), my brain began to feel muffled? i don't even know how else to describe it, it just sort of began to feel uncomfortable, and then it went really quiet, and all i could hear were my affirmations in my head.
when those 30 minutes were up, i felt like i'd been in such a trance, i got a little bit startled, even. i'm not sure if it's because of the visual stimulus, but it was easier to completely focus on my affirmations without getting distracted or having my thoughts drift, so if you sometimes struggle with focusing on robotic affirming and you have some time to spare, i definitely recommend this! i might start doing it every night before bed when i'm already sleepy :)
i'll try to explain this as best as I can, because it was honestly really crazy, it literally just happened!!
so, i got back into shifting around two weeks ago, and i was feeling very motivated. i did multiple "methods" a day, i meditated a lot, and just really put effort into it, probably more effort than ever before. of course, i'm not saying you have to put effort to shift!! but for me, i thought the proactive approach was best.
anyway, last night, i tried doing the WBTB method to go into hypnagogia and induce either sleep paralysis or a lucid dream, but i ended up just sleeping right through my alarm (lol). so i woke up this morning, not even feeling upset about it or anything, and just put on some theta waves to listen to while still half asleep.
at first i was really focusing on my DR, visualizing, doing everything, hyperfocused. naturally, nothing happened. so, instead, i decided to just let it be, whatever happened would happen. so i had my eyes closed, theta waves still playing, and it happened.
my eyes were definitely closed, but suddenly i could see through my eyelids, that's the best way to explain. i was kind of between realities, then, because i opened my eyes in this reality, and it's like my vision was flickering between my dark bedroom and somewhere i didn't really recognize. it went on for around 10-15 seconds before stopping, and i think i was still in my bedroom, but then again, it was a little hard to tell, just because i felt so disoriented.
but i fully saw a different reality! and it's crazy, because you always hear people saying to just let go, and i don't want to sound like a broken record, but it really was just that for me. i didn't need to force a shift, the second i just let go and let it be, it's like something clicked for me and i shifted!
