I’ve decided to repost some of my more popular posts from Amino to here, in hopes it helps someone or maybe helps me find more shifting mutuals <3

What is shufflemancy?
Shufflemancy is a form of divination that involves using the shuffle feature to get an answer to a question. Many people (including myself) have used it to contact their DR friends, family, or significant others.
What do I need to do this?
An electronic device (phone, computer, tablet, etc,.)
A playlist (shufflemancy playlists are available online, but using your own is highly recommended)
Things to Consider
Shufflemancy isn’t a form of witchcraft. However, it is a form of divination which can be against some religions!
If you have a themed playlist (ie. happy, sad, love…) your answer may not be accurate, as there’s no variety for the person you’re contacting to choose from.
Sometimes people in your desired reality are dramatic. They’ll be overly negative at times by choosing a bad song in hope to get you to shift to them faster, so take these songs with a grain of salt.
You may not always get answers. Whether the person you’re trying to contact isn’t in the mood or just plain doesn’t want to answer it, assume this when you get a song that makes no sense.
Nothing will be sugarcoated, expect answers to be accurate.
The Tutorial
(Optional) Meditate for five minutes, or until you feel at peace. I believe the relaxation in your mind and body assists in having a clearer connection to the universe.
Begin to send a message out to the universe. If you’re trying to contact a person, try something along the lines of “[Name], how are you feeling?”; you can ask whatever question you’d like - you don’t even have to contact someone. You could ask the universe a question instead if you desire, though I don’t suggest asking when you’ll shift as the answer could be demotivating.
(Optional) Intend how you’ll get your answer. To do this, simply affirm something like “after three shuffles, the fourth will be my answer.”
With your intention still fresh in your mind, go to your playlist of choice and shuffle your desired amount of times. Your answer will be there.
Tips
Listen to the song in full to derive meaning from it. Does this song relate to your question? Does it hold a special meaning for you? A special meaning to who you’re connecting with?
Using a playlist of your own will make the answers more meaningful and personal - but isn’t required.
look at you, you silly little goose wanting some reassurance. 🙄
well here's your (not so) favourite person to help.
shifting is easy. how many times have you read/heard a shifting story, where the person talks about how they didn't even have the intention to shift that night. now some people can call it luck, but i call it a reason to prove people care too much.
no it doesn't matter what method you use, no it doesn't matter if your script isn't detailed to the core, no it doesn't matter if you don't follow instructions word by word, no it doesn't matter if you struggle with visualising.
you ARE the power. you ARE the one who chooses. don't be caught up in your journey, focus on your purpose.
now go shift 🙄 shifting is easy, stop overcomplicating it, go ahead bae, i trust you 💯
Please comment/reblog with your favorite shifting stories and any motivation that may help others shift! I would appreciate the stories/motivation very much, and I’m sure others would too!
Heads up to everyone, this video is... its not positive. its kinda misinformed, and it's very anti-shifting. Which is alright! You don't have to believe it! But this dude has 16 million subscribers and that's a LOT of people to be getting his idea about shifting.
What method do you use for shifting ive done the alice method the pillow method the julia method raven method, and the estelle method. And when i did the raven method guided meditation is when i literally felt my body float away but i got too excited and felt mysself rushing back! I also use the Celestial subliminals but apparently they arent good so HELP?! and tips???
this is a long post, so warning lol
so when i first started shifting, i used to try the raven method or train method. in the background, i had celestial subs playing and literally putting FULL faith in those but when i successfully shifted, i used the julia method using a sub made by lovegood subliminals! i like theirs and clqzie's!
the method i use now is kinda my own method?? unless it exists then someone let me know but here it is:
- before going to bed, i just lay down and listen to the sub i linked above by lovegood
- i mediate for about 15 minutes or until i feel a symptom
- once i feel a symptom, i imagine (specifically in first person) that i'm sitting on a couch and a person from my dr is lying down with their head on my lap. i'll be caressing their head and either sing or hum to them
- once i'm finished with the song, they get up and ask me "will you come home with me?" then i ask my subconscious if i'm ready. if i'm not, then i say "not right now" and just stay there where i'm sitting and just wake up here. if i am, then i say "yes" and they take my hand and bring me to a door
- behind the door is a white, brightly lit hallway and i say affirmations as i walk through it and keep going until i eventually fall asleep and wake up in my dr <3
as for tips, don't focus so much about shifting throughout the day, think more like "if i don't shift today/tonight, doesn't mean i won't shift at all" :) it's all about accepting your doubts rather than ignoring them.
also, when it comes to drinking water, your subconscious knows your intentions so don't drink it thinking "i have to drink all these gallons of water to shift" and instead think "i should drink water bc it's good for me". i used to drink like 5 bottles of water everyday and as much as my body was like "thank you <3" i thought of it as a chore which also brought expectations way too high and disappointments. + the fact that i used to used celestial not knowing there were negative affirmations.
if you say shit like "end cringe culture, like what you like!!" and ALSO make fun of ppl liking harmless shit like reality shifting??? you're a fucking hypocrite.
you don't believe? fine. you don't wanna try shifting? fine. i don't either.
but are you sure THIS is the hill you wanna die on? attacking teenagers just.. trying to do their thing?? this site is the worst.
i don’t like how people will do anything to put people who believe in shifting down. it’s fucking lame, idgaf about what your opinion is, most people have been doing research about this for a long time. so yeah, i’m not gonna get into “oh everyone should believe in shifting blah blah blah!!”, just let people live lmao
Reality shifting is literally just dreaming/lucid dreaming
https://youtu.be/q1mLq0QCkPk
Woohoo, first ask! Too bad it’s a hater lmao. Anyways anon, I watched the video by TheOdd1sOut. He posted it about, what, 3 or 4 hours ago? And you’re telling me your first thought was to go on tumblr and harass people because of a youtuber’s opinion? Alright then. I have no doubt that you’ve sent this exact same ask to dozens of other reality shifting blogs.
This is just going to be a quick post about my initial thoughts, and why I don’t agree with James’s opinion. His main opinion seems to be that reality shifting is fake and that it’s just dreaming/lucid dreaming. Reality shifting is not lucid dreaming!
(By the way, do let me know if there’s any false info or anything in my response, I’m trying to be accurate, but things always slip by)
More under cut:
Now, for starters, I haven’t watched really any of TheOdd1sOut/James’s videos before, but I know he’s pretty popular and all, so in no way am I hating on him, I just disagree with his opinion on reality shifting and am going to point out some of my problems with his video.
It seems to be like he was first introduced to reality shifting through TikTok, which already isn’t a very good start, and he also got some information from Amino, but not nearly as much as from TikTok. TikTok is infamous for having a lot of misinfo and fake shifters, so it is not a very good place to get information about reality shifting without having to parse through the thousands upon thousands of untrue content just to find a couple hundred good creators.
James’s main problem with reality shifting is that if reality shifting is real, then what happens to the consciousness of the body you are shifting to? He did some research and found out about clones, but doesn’t really seem to believe in them or parallel universes in general, which when making a video about reality shifting, especially when he has 16 million subscribers, is kind of closed minded. Some people believe in clones, others don’t. I’ll just be explaining my personal view. To me, shifting isn’t just putting your consciousness from one universe to another, kicking out other consciousnesses, but rather expanding your awareness. You exist in other universes as literally anything, and shifting just allows you to be aware of this and experience life in your DR. The consciousness of the body you’re shifting to, and your body, are the same. Reality shifting just allows you to be aware of other universes. (Sorry if this is hard to understand, I’m not entirely happy with the wording of this)
James’s understanding of reality shifting is that somebody could shift to the same reality as the same person as someone else is, and essentially they would both be in the same person. However, there are infinite realities, so this is impossible. Same argument with fictional villains like Voldemort shifting here. There are infinite realities, so while Voldemort could shift to a reality exactly like this one, it would not be this one.
One good point he brought up was that the laws of physics should still be the same in other realities, meaning things like magic shouldn’t be possible. I..... don’t really have a good explanation for this, as I don’t know much about physics, but if anyone else could help shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated!
So far it’s clear James doesn’t have a very high view of spiritual things like reality shifting or witchcraft. He thinks that reality shifting is just dreaming/lucid dreaming because people shift while asleep, but I have to stress this: This is not true! Lucid dreaming and shifting are two very different things! Plenty of people have shifted while awake, and falling asleep to shift is simply just a popular method, not the only one.
Looking through TikTok, James’s impression was that mainly all of the reality shifters are kids, which while accurate to a certain degree, isn’t completely true. On TikTok, the majority of the user base are indeed kids, so it makes sense that mainly kids on there would be reality shifters. However, there are people of all ages who are reality shifters, and just because a lot of teenagers are shifters doesn’t mean that shifting is fake.
James likens reality shifting to conspiracy theories a lot, and often compares reality shifters to anti-vaxxers and flat earthers a lot, mainly because he doesn’t think that there’s any proof about shifting. But there is proof! A lot! James has just been looking in the wrong places. There are all those CIA documents! The Gateway Experience! Anything by Robert A. Monroe! And there’s so many credible books out there! After watching the video, it just seems like he didn’t do much research beyond looking at Tiktoks and some Amino posts.
Going back to reality shifters being compared to anti-vaxxers and flat earthers, James seems to be perpetuating the idea that reality shifting is harmful, when it’s not! The shifting communities I’m in have honestly had some of the most positive people I’ve known, and we’ve all built a really nice, loving community together.
Overall, I think this video is harmful to the shifting community, and just brings a lot of bad attention to reality shifters. It doesn’t seem like James did a lot of research, and he also seems to have a low view of spirituality in general, meaning that this video is just going to tell the public that reality shifters of delusional and cringy, and that shifting is lucid dreaming. Reality shifting is not lucid dreaming! At all! So, thank you anon, for allowing me the opportunity to explain why reality shifting is real.
Hi. The guy Danial from Anthony Padilla’s video made a two part video to give shifters a chance to prove that shifting is real. The experiment failed and now I’m losing motivation to shift. The comments made me lose even more motivation. Now I feel like people are lying about shifting and idk what to do anymore :(
I have a lot to say about this but honestly imma keep it short.
TW: shifting haters, shifting doubts, religion mention, losing motivation, shifting negativity, Anthony Padilla interviewed a Lucid Dreamer in a shifting video and now he thinks he knows about shifting 😒
1) this is why I didn’t want a lucid dreamer in that reality shifting video 🙃 cause now people are looking to his videos to “prove” shifting like........ please stop /gen
2) I’ve mentioned this a lot, but shifting is like any religion. Let’s say shifting is Christianity. [half-sarcasm] You want to prove Christianity okay show me Jesus. Literally if he’s real make him appear. Go ahead, if it’s real make him show up. Oh? You can’t? Hm interesting... but people still believe in Christianity and follow Jesus. Why?
BECAUSE YOU CANT PROVE A RELIGION!
No amount of “tests” or “trials” to see if shifting is real, are total bullshit and we don’t NEED to prove anything to anyone. So don’t lose motivation or hope. Shifting is real if you believe it’s real. Don’t let uneducated/closed minded people shut out down. Keep your chin up and remember shifters are here to support you always 💕
ive seen many, many posts talking about reality shifting being a cult, and that's simply just not true.
to disprove this idea of shifting as a cult, let's start with what a cult IS and what a cult ISN'T.
in its simplest definition, a cult is a small group of people with devout religious devotion directed towards a specific figure, a few specific figures, or a set of specific ideals. even in that regard, that does not make reality shifting a cult.
but that definition isn't what people use when calling us a cult. the one they use is the more sinister and more popular definition; a small group of people with devout religious devotion directed towards a specific figure, a few specific figures, or a set of specific ideals that uses tactics like coersion, threats, and manipulation to keep cult members within the cult.
that is NOT what we are. to anyone making this claim that we do any of this, please reach out to me with screenshots/links as proof of us using the tactics of coersion, threats, and manipulation to keep people within our community.
now that we've established what a cult is, let's talk about what a cult isn't.
a cult ISN'T a group of people with shared spiritual and/or religious beliefs sharing ideas and expressing themselves online.
a cult ISN'T a group of people promoting things like drinking water, mediation, eating well and getting enough sleep in pursuit of religious and/or spiritual beliefs.
you may consider us to be indulging delusions, which i agree is a valid concern. however, i have delusions, and i can say firsthand, that we do not.
delusions are often scary and confusing. delusions make you think those around you are something they really are not. confusing a hope that seems "crazy" to you with a delusion, a serious mental health issue, is downplaying how hurtful and painful delusions actually are.
i would like to conclude by saying, once again, that i would like anyone with proof of us being a cult to reach out, and if your claim is able to be thoroughly substantiated, i would be more than happy to give up these beliefs and leave.
otherwise, you can stay pressed. i've been eating healthier, sleeping more, remembering to take my medication, having substantial improvements in my mental health, drinking more water, and being more creative since i've joined the shifting community.
it's one thing to disagree with our beliefs and another to accuse us of hurting people because of them. you don't have to believe in shifting, you don't have to do it, but it would also be nice if you weren't a dick about it.
What are your opinions on Odd1sOut’s shifting video?
CW// Shifting doubts, shifting in negative connotations.
When I first began the video, I thought well, alright. Maybe he’s just going to disagree with our beliefs. I think that his comparison to religion was quite apt. I don’t mind people being doubtful of our methodology. I know shifting is real, and that doesn’t really bother me.
What does bother me, is believing that shifting is a harmful belief. I mean seriously? Comparing shifting to racism? In what way does that even make sense? It’s incredibly offensive to me and the shifting community as a whole, especially since shiftblr specifically is one of the most accepting communities I have ever been in.
My other problem is that anything that is said about shifting, and literally anything, is given a negative connotation. There is no “well let’s hear the other side out.” James came into making this video with an opinion, and did not at all even consider thinking about the material he was talking about. “Wow, this community has hundreds of thousands of members! How terrible?”
...Like, alright James. But have you considered that if hundreds of thousands of people believe in something, and these hundreds of thousands of people have shifted before, they perhaps, may be... on to something? Maybe they have something right?
What I think James does do is bring up a very good point about clones, and how flawed the understanding of them is. When you’re shifting, you are not taking over someone’s life, because... that’s your consciousness. You are one you spread across many, many universes. Shifting into another vessel doesn’t vacate the previous host, because, newsflash, you are the previous host. At least this video gave me a better understanding that people do not understand clones.
“How can there be a reality where magic is real?”
I’ll do you one better, James. How can we exist in a reality where computers are real? I mean seriously, think about computers for a second. How complex they are. We currently live in a universe where quantum computers are real. “They’re backed by science.” And how do we know that magic in someone else’s universe isn’t? How could you even possibly know if you don’t try to shift? Even then, science here struggles to identify and define the universe. We frequently discover subatomic particles that bend the laws we’ve already created.
This whole “I don’t understand it therefore it’s not real” mentality is the REASON we have people like flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers.
Also this whole shifting = sleeping thing. Just... I’ve covered this before. I’ve shifted while awake. I’m not covering it again. Clearly, he didn’t do enough research into this before posting it.
He did make a great point regarding research and critical thinking. We should be better with both. In fact, I want to see more studies about reality shifting. I would love that! This is an untapped field full of potential. I’m all for more science behind shifting.
In the end, this is just another fear-mongering, anti-shifting joint. I’ve seen enough of them to know the gist.
You can script that you don’t bring back trauma to your CR all you want. You can also script that you can’t be traumatized by the things that happen in your DR ‘till the cows come home.
But it wont work. You are shifting your consciousness–your self– into another reality. Even though you are viewing your DR through the eyes of your Alternate Self, you are still viewing and doing that stuff first hand. Even if you script that you can not be traumatized while you are in your DR, you still can be, because you are still experiencing it first hand. If you in your CR would be traumatized by something, then you in your DR would be traumatized by that same thing. Being traumatized in your DR does not magically go away the second you say your safe word. The memories of you being there still stay with you when you come back to your CR.
Because of this, I believe that it is disingenuous to say that reality shifting is 100% safe. Yes, your physical body is not harmed, however, that does not mean that it is 100% safe.
Also, most people giving reality shifting advice haven’t experienced actually shifting firsthand so a lot of their information (including the ‘tip’ about scripting that you don’t get traumatized) is getting passed along from other people, that may or may not have actually shifted.
I, myself, and many others have made the mistake of scripting this and believing that it will actually work. But it hasn’t. Be safe when shifting, and be wise while scripting. Be honest with yourself when you are scripting the scenarios that you want to be a part of. If you really don’t want to be traumatized, script that you are not exposed to things that might traumatize you (ex. watching someone die, being killed, being kidnapped, etc.).
Please don’t fall for the lie that reality shifting is 100% safe.
