literally everything i could think of that i’ve said, done, thought or been told that i currently align with… DISCLAIMER: this will not be revolutionary or new. everything i say has likely been said before, either by me or someone else. regardless, repeating things can penetrate the subconscious mind so i figure this can help at least one person finally “get it” when it comes to shifting. enjoy xo
there is no key but if there was one for shifting intentionally, it’d be to trust. trust your subconscious to know what its allowing to enter your sphere. trust that your mindset, as imperfect as it is, is still enough to shift. trust that shifting is meant for you. trust that this hasn’t been all for nothing.
those expectations you have need to be dropped. shifting will live up to everything you imagined and more but it’s not a movie. it’s just life. the moment you start viewing life through the lens of shifting and vice versa, that pedestaled, idealized version of your dr doesn’t seem so far anymore.
intention grows. it strengthens. it combines. never worry about whether you’re setting intention right because every connection you’ve made to your dr solidifies that intention.
intention is technically not the only thing you “need” to shift. sometimes we have anxiety. sometimes we need intention + familiarity. comfort. tethers. so keep that in mind when shifting to your drs. if you feel confident in your intention but still haven’t seen that “movement”… are you comfortable? does your dr feel like home?
use senses and emotion to embrace your dr. your surroundings. yourself. embody it wholly. not to shift but to familiarize. make your subconscious know that your dr is safe.
stray away from intense emotions when imagining but don’t run into the arms of something that bores you. unless you truly find an emotional connection constantly visualizing the place you’re waking up, use a different emotional tether or connection to shift to your dr. mine, for example, is my mom. she’s been my tether for both shifting to my dr and shifting from it back to my cr. i think of her and everything around me settles. it soothes. i know i am home. find something like that.
shifting is not physical. so using physical crutches (whether that be scripting, methods, night time routine, etc.) aren’t the things making you progress in your journey. not to say they’re pointless but if you find yourself putting your trust in those things over your own mind, you need to step back and re-evaluate. ie: “i have to do [ ] before i can shift to my dr!”
stop looking for what you did wrong. curb it and just feel. intellectualizing your perceived failures is keeping you in a loop of blaming yourself for not receiving your desires. there is no intellectualizing not shifting because it’s nothing you did wrong. shifting isn’t something you do, it’s something you are. you are constantly shifting, evolving and aligning. even when it seems like nothing happened, something did. believe that and allow it to be the thing you remind yourself of when you’re frustrated.
speaking of, frustration and anger will not stop you from shifting. desperation will not stop you from shifting. any negative emotion you have about shifting will not stop you from shifting. what stops you is the assumption that it will. the assumption that you’ve just “messed” up and now you need to start again. the overcorrecting. the constant checking. all of it is just rooted from a limited self belief already. when i say nothing is stopping you from shifting except yourself, i don’t mean your emotions. you aren’t your emotions but the observer of them. i am literally talking about the you that’s observing this. that’s processing this. you are capable of observing and processing your emotions without taking them on as who you are.
usually when i shift, i don’t affirm anything related to shifting. i just really focus on belonging in a dr. i use trigger words that put visuals in my head without me needing to force it (because i find the more natural and at ease i feel, the easier it is for me to slip).
shifting begins the moment you decide it does. in this year alone, i have not taken more than 10 minutes to shift. when i decide i’m going to my dr—even if i don’t end up shifting—i feel the immediate click. that immediate transfer of awareness, of connection. it’s hard to describe but when you know, you know.
symptoms are a byproduct of shifting—yes! but they’re more a result of resistance to shifting. shifting is internal and not a physical process. it’s not meant to be felt as much as it’s meant to be embodied. the less symptoms you feel (in my experience) = the more aligned and in flow you are with just being in the dr. i mean think about it, when you’re here do you randomly feel symptoms? no. so they shouldn’t be a marker for how close you are. and if you need more convincing, look back at past attempts. i’m willing to bet that the moment you looked for those markers in your shifts, those external symptoms, you’d lose em just as fast. it’s because you grounded yourself here.
now this won’t be the case for everyone but i’ve found more success in not attempting than trying to. literally just rolling over and saying “fuck it”. i think the reasoning behind that is there’s no resistance that i’ve built. i’m not attached to any outcome AND shifting is always in the back of my mind ANYWAY so boom. because of this, i haven’t “tried” to shift since late august/early september lmfaoo
success is not only about shifting or not shifting. the journey of shifting is so much greater than getting to your dr. getting to your dr is guaranteed aa long as you don’t quit but while you’re walking towards that inevitable fact, you should also be walking towards self sufficiency. having grace for yourself. talking yourself down from spirals and listening to your intuition.
how can you expect to trust your intuition when you call yourself a liar mid sentence? when you immediately believe the “hah, you know you’re not shifting tonight, just go to sleep.” stop operating under logical fallacies and hold yourself accountable. instead of spiraling every time an undesirable emotion pops up, use it as your time to build your intuition and self reflection. why did it come up and when exactly did it happen? during what word? journal, process and release. be just as intentional about your trust as you are about shifting.
shift for whatever the hell you want. script whatever the hell you want. but understand that shifting is still real life. while it’s not something you can tangibly transfer from here to there and vice versa, reckless shifting habits can still consciously affect you as if you experienced it in this reality. you’re breaking down barriers by shifting. by refusing to accept a single awareness as home. so be sure to take care of your mental health by viewing shifting as reality and not fiction.
the past can inform your current decisions but do not allow it to dictate them. don’t allow a perceived failure from your past to keep you from experiencing your desired present.
stop being a fucking martyr. i said it best in my dr but, “you don't have to die to matter. you don't have to be covered in blood to deserve a warm bath.” stop taking on others trauma. stop trying to be a fucking hero. if you’re meant to be that, you will be that, you don’t need to script it. allow yourself to step up to the plate in the moment instead of planning to do so just to sit in your bed, procrastinating shifting because you’re too goddamn scared to go experienced what YOU wrote down.
for the last time, you are not moving your consciousness, it’s not going anywhere! you’re just aligning your awareness to something you desire!! consciousness is everywhere so it doesn’t require movement.
don’t micromanage each moment, sometimes it’s okay to just do nothing in it. feeling symptoms? do nothing. observe but do not engage. don’t over analyze in the moment because that’s what doesn’t allow the flow. think of the symptoms like your subconscious testing if this is a safe mental state. if it’s safe you aren’t going to overreact—you’re just gonna let it pass through.
instead of striving for the perfect experience, focus on the joy and fulfillment of the process. remind yourself that the outcome of shifting is inevitable (you either shift or you don’t) so detach from results. focus on the feeling of already being there instead of the method. truly emotionally align yourself more with your dr self than the want to shift.
do not rush imagination. if you get lost in a daydream, feel it fully with no expectations of how long or short it needs to be. you don’t have to finish before sleeping. you don’t have to rush through it because you’re tired. if you fall asleep, you fall asleep. you’re set. trust your connection.
don’t go into shifting acting as though you know what it looks like if you haven’t experienced it yet. that blocks off so many avenues of how you can you shift, where you can, what you can shift into etc. this is one of the reasons i stopped scripting. it felt like i was blocking off the when, where and how of shifting. i didn’t want to write down my destiny, i wanted to live it. to figure it out in the moment instead of making an epic story before even experiencing it.
gratitude gets you farther than you’d think. back in april, my guides showed me in a dream that i can shift by simply listing off the things i was grateful for in my dr and allowing those feelings to fill me. it’s something i go back to when i want an easy connection.
understand that you’re not a product of reality, reality is a product of you. when you experience a circumstance that is unsatisfactory, it doesn’t have to be real unless you confirm (through your assumptions) that it is. so if you wanted to shift really badly and woke up here, rewrite that circumstance. you did shift. maybe you just forgot? allow that to be your truth and move on.
so many shifters succeed through repetition, emotional attunement and energy work. and those are little shifts within themselves. shifting for a lot of us is very healing. and sometimes the journey we go on to reach this destination is apart of the medicine that aligns us with our highest selves. as you continue to subconsciously integrate the work you’ve put in to build to a full shift, you may find that shifting happens quicker. but you must understand that even if shifting is not universally instantaneous for you, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. continue to persist. don’t doubt your capabilities.
shifting can come to you effortlessly. you don’t have to work for it. no physical routine is going to guarantee you a shift, it’s your alignment to the place and your willingness to just be. to flow.
divine timing does not have to apply to you. there doesn’t have to be a higher source controlling when you shift. if anything, you can be that higher source. you can be the divine that’s deciding.
if you are doing anything that resembles chasing a shift, you are creating underlying resistance. shifting is natural. we will do it forever and ever and ever. making decisions to try to force it into happening is just you contradicting the natural ability you were born with.
many people have probably shifted and they thought they were dreaming because the shift wasn’t long enough for them to fully comprehend and realize they were living in reality. sometimes shifting feels so natural that you don’t get an “aha i shifted!” moment until you come back but don’t let that deter you. usually if you feel like you shifted, you did (in some capacity).
as much as you may complain about not having shifted yet, you’re very comfortable and familiar with this reality and uncomfortable with your dr. you may live too deeply in the “i wanna shift” state and not the “i wanna be my dr self” state. your dr does not have to be as far away as you make it seem in your head. it’s within you. that’s never far.
the emotions you feel around your dr cannot just be made up! there’s a reason you feel so strongly and so connected to the people of your dr. they’re meant for you. you’re meant to know them. to know shifting.
you don’t have to keep focusing on your dr until the absolute last second before you fall asleep or shift. not only is it impractical and asks you to have perfect thoughts but also it’s just false? i don’t know why some of you have it in your head to do that but it’s wrong! just do what comes naturally to you. even if that’s doing nothing at all.
That’s all for now! I hope this post helps you in some way. I’d really appreciate it if you could reblog and like it so that it can reach anyone who might need it. <33
