the unmaking method ... ୨ৎ
disclaimer: a method is not needed to shift, but i am constantly asked what i do to shift so i'm giving the people what they want. i don't always use a method to shift, but when i do, this is what i swear by.
step 1: get comfortable, then forget why ... ୨ৎ
curl into yourself like a cat at rest. stretch out feline-style if that feels more natural. don't make a ritual of it. you are not about to do anything. let the moment feel unimportant, and thus cease the preparations and the making.
step 2: murphy's law. let everything be a little wrong ... ୨ৎ
let things feel unreal. let your thoughts feel misaligned. let there be doubt. don't try to let go, or you'll only hold on tighter. it might get messy in your stream of consciousness, like a dream that hasn't fully loaded. the mess hinders nothing.
the idea is to stop adjustment. stop fixing and micromanaging what doesn't need your help to happen. if you start to feel distant, be distant. if your sense of self softens, don't glue it together. don't reassemble.
step 4: unmake arrival ... ୨ৎ
there is no "getting there". there is only the habit of believing you aren't. there is no arrival because there is no departure, and therefore, there is no laborious journey. you were never separated from where you want to be, nor will you ever be.
step 5: remain in what's left ... ୨ৎ
whatever remains without your effort is it. it is not a state to hold, nor is it something to maintain. if it fades, let yourself fade. if you notice it, it was meant to be noticed. if you lose it, nothing was lost. there is no version of you that does this better. there is no better. there is no secret, deeper layer waiting. this is what is here when you stop making something else. this is the shift.
