it's been about almost 3 and a half years since shifting found me, which is kind of crazy since I haven't given up believing in it all this time. and it's also been over 6 months since I've minishifted for the first time. it was funny cause I just intended to shift, and I shifted somewhere, even if it only was for a few seconds. it's still hard to wrap my head around it. part of my brain thinks it was a dream, but the rest of my brain knows it wasn't a dream since it was much, much more real.
shifting hasn't been something I've focused on recently but it is sometimes at the back of my mind. I used to attempt to shift almost every night on end, though the only led to me feeling more mentally drained and hopeless with every 'failed' attempt. though I'm not making any progress now, I believe I will shift when I'm ready. plus, there are no expectations surrounding my shifting journey.
im just writing this rn cause not shifting has taken a little toll on me. i miss the people in my dr so much it hurts. especially my twin brother and best friend. i want to see them so badly, especially at this time of the year. i know I can shift, and i have. im very capable of it.
remember that bracing yourself for failure means you never truly opened yourself up to the possibility of success.
to shift, you have to be willing to surrender your guard to ALL of it. you can’t expect to shift if there’s a part of you still expecting to fail. if there’s a part of you still bargaining on whether you did enough, or too much, or waited too long you’re just honing in on the part of you that’s building walls! get rid of the expectations, banish them.
you’re either gonna shift or you won’t. the outcome is literally always the same so why are you replaying the possible outcome every single time you try KNOWING it’s gonna be one or the other?? why not skip the outcome and just be present?
guess who minishifted for the first time ever last niiightttttt!???
bro it's really funny cause it's like night rn and i only remembered like a few hours ago about what happened. so basically, i was very much half asleep, and i just had the urge to shift, so i just closed my eyes with the intention in the back of my mind. mind the fact that i was not thinking clearly at all, and it just happened. so i closed my eyes, and it's lowkey a blur, but then i randomly opened my eyes (what felt like a few seconds later), and i was in a different room. the first thing i saw was a brown shelf/wardrobe (?) and then i closed my eyes again and fell asleep. it's an odd feeling cause deep down i knew that shelf wasn't in my room, but it also felt normal. like it just didn't register in my mind that that shelf wasn't in this reality.
one side of my brain is telling me it was very much real, but the other side of my brain is telling me it was a dream. but like the thing is, when i dream, i'm always lowkey aware that im dreaming, so im like 90% sure it wasn't a dream.. idk how to feel, but like yeah that was my experienceee
i don't know how many of you will see this, let alone how many will read it entirely. this letter is for those who have been trying to shift for two years, five years, more. those who cannot give up, and those who will not give up, and maybe even those who already have. to preface, this letter will not rehash everything you already know. you've scrolled every forum, you've seen every method, you've read every tip. you've trialed, and errored, and persevered... but you're still here. law of assumption, manifestation, belief, intention. but you're still here. you've been told all about shifting... right? you already know what shifting is... right? you should already know how to shift... right? but you're still here.
this letter is not intended to debase or invalidate those who do already believe in those things and who are satisfied with that. this is for those who have been trying that way for 2 years, 5 years, and more, and still haven't shifted. this is for those who might want an alternative perspective.
what you've been told
in my personal opinion, the online shifting community as it currently stands is very... rigid. narrow. there are a few dominant views, and then the many who drown out any possible dissent or disagreement. i do understand why this happens. reality shifting is already a marginal belief, hounded by anti-shifters and disbelieved and debunked on all sides, so it makes sense that people feel the instinct to close ranks at any sign of an outsider. unfortunately, this has led to a community that raises its hackles at even other reality shifters who simply don't believe the exact same way that you do. law of assumption. manifestation. intent. (and dare i say it, the multiverse.)
i don't believe in any of that, in the context of shifting.
now, wait! don't go yet, stay with me. it's okay if you do. i'm not intending to change the minds of those who already believe in these things. i'm not going to go at anyone and say "i'm right, you're wrong, and you must change your mind to agree with me!" that would be silly, and counterproductive. let's lower our guards, and extend an olive branch, please. if you feel these things serve your journey, then carry on. you're allowed to disagree with me, i won't be upset. you're allowed to think i'm wrong, if you want. literally no worries at all.
but i am a little tired frankly of certain ideas being treated as the only options, and often in a rude or hostile manner. if you are someone who has spent five years trying to shift, and you see yet another post that boils down to "all you have to do is want it hard enough" does that not hurt your soul? the following sections of this post are for those who these ideas have not been working for. for those who have not yet shifted. it's been two years. five years. more. and you're still here. are you open to another possibility?
what is reality shifting?
i've told you what i don't believe, but what about what i do? i'll try to keep this as concise as possible for the sake of brevity and comprehension, knowing i could potentially clarify in future posts. but please continue with the understanding that im a chronic overexplainer, and my curse is the fact that the extra words don't always actually increase understanding. bear with me.
reality shifting: broadly speaking, this refers to shifting your linear experience of reality from one, to another. this has been known by many other names in the past, across continents and cultures, even in pre-agriculture societies. i'd include ideas like persistent realms, quantum jumping, focus 21, etc. language is subjective, and people may describe or understand the same experience in different ways.
i believe reality shifting is a haphazard side effect of our limited ability to perceive and comprehend reality. let me explain. space, as we understand it, is three dimensional. but reality isn't. it's our bodies and minds limiting our perception and understanding that makes all of reality seem that way to us at surface level.
1D: let's consider a hypothetical one dimensional existence. everything would a straight line, and the only way to perceive anything else would be as a single point directly in front or directly behind you. forwards and backward. the 2D and 3D are beyond your limited ability to physically sense or feel, let alone to comprehend. Forget about the 4D (time). due to your lack of comprehension, you cannot move at will in two dimensional planes, let alone three dimensional space or even time. you are static, a single point.
2D: let's consider a hypothetical two dimensional existence. it would be a flat, infinite planar expanse. you might be a square, or a circle. you can move freely in two dimensional directions (forward, backwards, side to side), but not in the 3D. No up, no down. If you tried to perceive a three dimensional object, you would only be able to comprehend it as linear, a line on the horizon where it intersects your 2 dimensional plane. you would perceive the 3D as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it. the 4D, or time, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.
3D: what about our three dimensional existence? congratulations, you now are a form, such as a sphere, or a cube. you can move freely in a voluminous, infinite three dimensional space. Forward, backwards, side to side, up, and down. if you *try* to perceive the fourth dimension (time), you can only comprehend it as linear, a line where it intersects your 3 dimensional space. You perceive it as moving around or within you on its own, without the ability to direct it yourself. any dimensions higher than that, if you could perceive it, would be static, a singular point at a time.
quick 4D sidebar: clearing this one up now because this will confuse some of you who are involved in other communities. in many law of assumption and manifestation communities, "4D" has been used to refer to your imagination, inner world, a bridge to "higher vibrational states", etc. i don't use it that way. i use it in the sense of the mathematical concept, or linking three-dimensional space with time. 4D=time.
4D and 5D: so, time is the fourth dimension. that means it is four dimensional, yet due to our limitations as 3D creatures, we can only perceive it as linear. we perceive it as moving around us, without our direction, forwards, (or backwards in some cultures). what about the 5th dimension? the static one? the one we can only perceive one point of at a time? let's call this 5th dimension... reality. due to our limited perception, it may not seem like it, but time and reality are just like space in that all of it exists at once. if you were a 5th dimensional creature, you wouldn't see a bunch of different realities, you'd just see one the way we just see one 3D universe around us right now.
tip: think of it this way, if a three dimensional creature moving through time is only able to perceive it linearly, it may think that each point of time exists separately, passing by in chronological order. this would be like a character in a book, the character experiences each page one at a time as we turn the page. but we know that actually, the entire book exists all at the same time, and already did exist before we picked it up and started reading it, and continues to exist even when we set it down. the same is true of time, and reality. even if we perceive it as linear, or a point, all of it actually exists simultaneously, like space.
still, we can only perceive one point of reality at a time. i believe when we reality shift, we are by some freak of nature (or nurture) finding a way to trigger a "movement" in this "5th dimension," and therefor shifting our linear experience of time and our singular perceptual experience of one reality to another. ("movement" is a bit of an abstraction here, as movement generally refers to 3D space. you're not actually moving anywhere, you're already there, you just... can't see it at the same time as this.)
ok, so how the heavens do i shift?
if you read through all of the above, i assume that's what you're asking by now. "get to the point shimmer! how do i shift?" if you don't need intention, belief, assumption, manifestation, three gallons of water, crystals, or anything else then what do you need to shift?
if we boil shifting down to its absolute core, all you need to do in order to shift is to shift. (put down the pitch forks, and the flaming feathers and tar. i'll elaborate.)
shifting involves finding a way for us 3 dimensional creatures to trigger a shift in a dimensional direction that we do not have the capacity to perceive. so what i mean by "all you have to do to shift, is to shift" is that there is no physical movement, or secret password we can whisper that makes us shift, not inherently. it's sort of like being told to find your invisible and non corporeal primordial tail, and then swish it in a direction that doesn't spatially exist. find your "move in the 5D button", and then press it. except, there is no button.
so how do we "move" from one point of reality to the other? well, the first clue to this is in noticing what part of us is actually doing the "moving".
you don't make it happen with your three dimensional form. there is no body part or mass or motor function in your 3D body that triggers a shift. there's nothing that allows a three dimensional form to move in five dimensional directions... you just can't. your body stays here. that's good news actually, in my opinion. there is no need to force yourself into strange bodily positions, or chug water, or whatever else. your 3D body is irrelevant, because it's not going anywhere. you don't have to do anything with your body to shift. some people can shift awake, asleep, in the shower, walking around, etc.
you also don't necessarily do it with the fourth dimension, time. there is no specific amount of time that you'll shift after. it might seem you've spent a lot of time trying to shift, but the actual shift itself is instantaneous. some people shift their first try, and some of you might be on your second decade of attempts. again, the time factor being irrelevant is good news because this means it doesn't have to take time.
i also don't think we do it with just intent or belief. the intention word gets used so much it basically means nothing, but the general idea is that intent is the driving force that manifests your desired outcome. in the context of shifting, people use it like "set your intention to shift, and you will" or "intent makes you shift." or the dreaded "you just have to believe harder." personally, i don't think that's true. i don't think intention makes you shift. if it did, you all would have shifted by now, right? i think looking anyone who's been trying to shift for 4 years dead in the eye and telling them they just haven't intended to shift yet is honestly a bit cruel and unusual. some people who intend to shift will shift, but in my opinion, its a case of correlation, and not causation. there are also people who shift without intending to, or who intend to shift but don't.
it's also not really our thoughts that shift. or our mind as a concept, or our entire self. we know this because you don't turn into a comatose vegetable when you shift to a different reality. your thoughts, mind, and self here are unaffected by your awareness shifting away from it. if you successfully "permashifted" to hogwarts tonight, your self here would still wake up in the morning and go to work.
so what does shift? only our linear experience of our own awareness. so in order to reality shift, we just need to find a way to trigger our awareness to shift from one point of reality to another in a non linear fashion, and then integrate that into our linear experience. aha! you think. great! now how do i do that...? unfortunately, this is not an exact science (yet.) once you begin shifting regularly, i think it gets "easier" in some regards because you get a sense for how your awareness "feels" and what works for you. for those who haven't shifted, i can't say "take three deep breaths and recite the secret words, and then you'll shift." there is nothing specific you can physically do that will for certain make you shift. there's no secret passwords.
there is no key to shifting. the good news is, this means there is also no lock.
what we can do is get ourselves primed, into a state that increases the chances our awareness is triggered to shift. ie, find the "move in the 5D" button, (you know, the one that doesn't exist) and learn how to press it. and because it is our awareness that shifts, my "methods" have to do with priming your awareness for shifting. you don't need to believe, which is a good thing because it means doubts won't hold you back. you don't necessarily need to intend, which is a good thing because it means there are no secret blockages in your way. no "subconscious", no "reprogramming", no "delusion is the solution." you don't need any of that. you also don't have to do anything specific with your body or space unless you feel like it and want to. you don't need a script, but you can make one if you want. it's whatever, it's irrelevant darling, it's non-consequential.
these three methods below basically encompass all shifting methods out there. i might expand on techniques for these methods later, but for now i'll go over the basics.
method one: pure awareness
it basically boils down to two steps. get into a state of pure awareness, and then shift.
the first step for this method is actually a simple one, sort of, but i think it's unkind to call it easy. it can be easy, if you just happen to have a perfect technique that works for you on your first try. if so, congrats! if not, don't despair. it comes more naturally to some than others, at first. you can probably build the skills and try different techniques necessary for you to get there.
but what is pure awareness? it's currently very often being called "the void state", but i'm not using that term for a few reasons. one, i think using the term "the void state" or calling it "the void" is making people think it's some sort of place that they're trying to go. it's not. it's not a physical place at all, and that's kind of the point. most of the time, your awareness is perceiving reality through the confines concept of 3D reality, because that's the data input it's receiving from your brain and body. that grounds you in this reality, and allows you to go about your day to day life. your goal with the pure awareness method is to focus on just your awareness, absent of all 3D distraction data and input. that way, your awareness is primed to be triggered to shift its focus to the 3D perception of a different point of reality when you come out of that state.
i might make a post about techniques for getting into the state of pure awareness, but this post is already long enough.
method two: destabilization of awareness
this method gets over complicated, but it basically boils down to two steps. destabilize your awareness, and then shift.
honestly, most shifting methods i see online are in some way doing this. lucid dreams, the hypnogogic state, SATS, self-hypnosis, "symptoms", and also all those iterations of the "raven method" the "staircase method" the "alice in wonderland method" etc are all basically ways to destabilize your awareness from the linear perception it is so used to in this point of reality, offering the opportunity of triggering a shift to a different one. they're all sort of either distracting or subverting your focus on the 3D here in this point of reality.
basically, you'll be trying to discombobulate yourself to the point your awareness is not focused on 3D reality, and trigger a shift.
method three: absence of awareness
sleep method gang, rise up. i'm serious. this method involves reducing your awareness to zero, or as close to it as possible, another potentially prime state to trigger a shift. (and by sleep method, i don't mean lucid dreamers or SATS, i mean simply going to sleep here, having a period of complete unawareness, like totally dreamless sleep, and then waking up in your DR.)
this absence of awareness during sleep is (in my experience) the most common cause of accidental or unintentional shifts, but you might be one of those who can trigger a shift to desired realities with this too.
sleeping is not the only way to get to the state of the lack of awareness. i'd say total distraction methods also count for this. you're not asleep, your body is awake, but you're so "zoned out" (or alternatively in a meditative state such that) you're absolutely not aware of the 3D experience of this point of reality anymore.
this is completely different from the state of pure awareness by the way, because in the state of pure awareness you are aware. like, in pure awareness you have a full train of thought and total control. the absence of awareness is the opposite. it feels sort of like a "blip" where reality time and space passed you by and you were not aware of it.
when shifting, your physical senses are the last to shift! when you’re hyper-aware of your body, you could be anchoring yourself to your current reality.
let go.
detach from the need to feel immediate sensations and trust the process. you are in control.
focus on your intention, not on whether you ‘feel’ it happening. this is why i like to make it clear that not everyone feels physical symptoms, and that is okay!!! shifting is about aligning your consciousness, not forcing physical proof.
remind yourself: you are already shifting. every thought, every visualization, every moment spent in alignment with your desired reality brings you closer.
release the need for validation. your experience is valid, whether or not you feel tingles, heaviness, or detachment. trust in your mind’s power.
shifting isn’t something you have to ‘catch’ happening - it’s something you allow to unfold.
a/n; if anyone has any idea of what they would like me to make a post about, go ahead and use my asks <3
leaving tiktok, and reading up on shiftblr is like re-discovering shifting. it has yet to be a week since I've read about shifting on tumblr and I've shifted TWICE, in a row, even if it was for a few minutes, I literally shifted.
Saturating my mind is one of my most favourite things to do at the moment. I love it so so much. Hence why I'm making this post.
Before I get into this, I want to point out that you do not need this to manifest! You can literally manifest something with a single thought so please do not put so much power into it but if you want to ease your mind, and make things happen fast as fuck with a "shitty" mindset, do this.
How do you saturate your mind?
How do you teach a toddler to talk? How do you teach someone the meaning of something? Repetition. The only reason you often don't see your manifestations is because you're wavering at the fact you don't have it yet instead of accepting the fact that it is already with you. You affirm once and immediately begin to panic on where it is.
So, if you have time to, if you have nothing to do, go and sit down or lay down or do something that won't be distracting, and just affirm. Think as if. You have your desire, because you said you do. You can literally do this for 5 minutes or an entire day. You can do it whenever you feel like it and don't make it a damn chore. It's supposed to be fun.
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but is it true that shadow work is "against God"? Because on tiktok they say that, but i am aware that there r sooo many misinformation on tiktok too.
So I just wanted to make sure, please dont take this the wrong way! <3
Hope you have a lovely day, and forgive me for my bad english it's not my first language :))
Here is a quick definition of what shadow work is:
Shadow work journal Volume 1, available on my Ko-Fi page.
Now, if we were to assume that shadow work goes against god, then by the same logic so does psychology, therapy, holistic medicine and anything that requires a person to heal their trauma.
TikTok, while valuable in a lot of ways, is an unreliable source. There are a lot of professionals on there, but there are even more people with incredible stupid takes who talk just to hear themselves talk.
Shadow work, manifesting, shifting, healing... None of that goes against god because I struggle to see why an all loving, all knowing god would want to stop you from becoming a better version of yourself and to heal your pain.
So I wanna say this happened like a week ago and that night I was up on my phone writing down some limiting beliefs I had and replaced them with new ones and had made it into a new phrase for myself to affirm:
That night i looped that last phrase (highlighted in blue) over and over again.
I was laying in my bed, eyes closed but I was very cold. The covers were not on me but i really wanted to cover myself with it. I then thought “why not shift to a reality where the covers are on me.”
So i literally just visualised myself with the covers and said “The covers are on me”… and it happened so fast. I opened my eyes and the covers were on me. I shifted back and was kinda shocked but also very happy. I decided to sleep and I woke up shortly after that with the blanket on me again. That night I kept shifting to an alternate cr with the blanket on me.
It didn’t really hit me until I woke up that morning that I shifted that amount of times in one night, and how extremely simple it is.
I think when I become aware of the fact that I was a master shifter and looped that (esp since i was very tired which makes the subconscious very open to suggestion) it influenced how I was able to shift sm that night.
All you need to do is
1. If you have a lot of limiting beliefs, eliminate them and replace them with new and positive beliefs.
2. Align yourself to a dr
3. Persist that you are there.
4. Done. you can shift.
It really is that simple babe! You are the creator of your reality and you decide what goes, not some shifting video you saw on tiktok or on tumblr etc. Become aware of the fact that you are a master shifter and just persist in that.
In 1983, astronomers and scientists (credited at the end) created a CIA document called "Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process". They called this assessment, when done, "Gateway Experience". The common term for us is "Astral Projecting". These scientists proved astral projection to be real, how it may work, and what it is. They approved the release of this in 2003/09/10. They did not publicizes this, simply approved it for release. Now astral projection is not shifting but this document alone proved shifting is real.
How does this relate to shifting?
When you shift, you become aware of the 4D, 5D and 6D.
The 4D is space and time together.
The 5D is different timelines and universes.
The 6D is traveling across timelines and universes.
When you astral projected, you become aware of the 4D because you only exist in the 4D state. 5D and 6D because you can travel to other realms or other beings, like what Wanda would do in "The Multiverse of Madness".
However instead your astral state travelling, your awareness state, where you are pure energy and timeless, simply becomes aware of a different consciousness (your consciousness) in a different universe that's on a different timeline. It's like a computer and a hard drive scenario. Simply plug the hard drive into the computer. Give yourself an update.
Shifting is stupidly easy, it's just you're so use to physicality in this reality and the hard "Nothing except this life" was drilled into from the start you struggle. Go ahead and release yourself. Shifting is easy.
Shifting is easy. It's a simple choice you make. So make that choice. Shifting is easy.

Your inner reality is the true reality because it is the only space where creation happens. The external world—the 3D—is simply a reflection of what you've already accepted, assumed, or believed in your mind.
Everything you experience in the physical world was once a thought, assumption, or belief held in your inner world.
When you affirm something as true in your mind, you are imprinting that assumption onto your subconscious, which cannot tell between what's "real" or "imagined." The moment you declare something is so, it becomes a part of your inner reality. That’s when manifestation happens: the moment you choose to affirm and accept something as true, it already exists in your inner world and your external reality must reflect that.
So, when you affirm something, it’s not something that “will happen” later—it’s already real in your inner world. The physical reality is simply the reflection of your inner assumptions. For example, the physical reality you see right now is just your previous thoughts, assumptions or beliefs. The main goal is to accept it true in your mind; the physical reality changing is just a "side effect" bound to happen because it has no choice but to reflect back to you the reality you’ve created in your mind.
this is a shifting method for the doubters out there. the ones who try to affirm or act as if they’re in their dr yet they contradict themselves by thinking that they’re still in their cr and feel bad about it.
what you have to do is choose two of your drs. the first one (dr 1) is the reality where you’re planning to go, the second one (dr 2) is a reality that you simply like but it’s not your priority.
start affirming of being in your dr 2, but then contradict yourself by saying sentences like “ugh i just know thats not true because i’m actually still in dr 1, that’s so annoying, i really want to be in my dr 2 yet i’m still in dr 1, why??” you basically have to rant about it.
this is similar to when you go against your affirmation out of doubts like “no i’m still in my cr :((“ so you would use this to your advantage and instead go “no i’m still in my dr 1 :((“.
take a moment and think about a moment you long to experience. mine is being at one of my favorite beach spots at night in the parking lot in my car, blasting the songs that make me just rethink and love life as i eat my large mcdonalds sundae and fries (reminiscing with my comfort meal and comfort music fr 🙏)
now, just believe that will happen. that's because it's going to. it's hard for most of us, but that's okay. just believe and trust. be vulnerable like a little kid. you. can. shift. shifting. is. real. just trust it to happen. nothing can go wrong if you just truly trust and believe. trust and believe, trust and believe, persist. shush. leave no room for doubt. what do you have to lose?
what's everyone's go-to song that reminds them of their dr?
mines apologize - timbaland, onerepublic. the feeling and the beat of the song just perfectly resonates with me and how deeply i feel my emotions, and how i reflect on my life feeling based. it's just such a gorgeous song, omg stop, i literally love it sm. i actually can not describe my love for it and how much it reminds me and connects me to my better or. 🫶🫶
