ᯓ★ Welcome to my little corner of shiftblr!

ᯓ★ You can call me Mel! Just the URL works too though :)

ᯓ★ I'm 21 years old; minors can interact, but please don't message me if you're under 18

ᯓ★ I've known about shifting since around summer 2020, so 5 years!

ᯓ★ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW:

☛ I am a multiverse-optimist, not averse to permashifting, and don't stick to traditional methods. ੈ♡˚⋆༘

☛ I'm also very hesitant to apply spirituality (such as law of attraction, manifesting, channeling) to my shifting journey but am supportive of others doing so! ੈ♡˚⋆༘

☛ I'm happy to answer any questions you have about shifting, my journey or my own DRs, but will occasionally keep seemingly arbitrary things private. ੈ♡˚⋆༘

ᯓ★ MY DRs:

⋆𝓚𝓮𝔂⋆

✓ = i have shifted there

✗ = i have not yet shifted there

Better CR DR in which I relive my youth without life getting in the way. ✗

Marauders Era Hogwarts DR! I've been emotionally invested in the marauders since I was 12 years old, so now, I'm actually going there. ✗

Supernatural DR! Goes completely off-canon after season one, seeing as I don't actually like the rest of the show lol. ✗

Various Fame DRs! In some I'm an actress, in others a director, a singer, a model, etc. ✗

Various other DRs I'm probably going to come back to again periodically. These include: MCU DR, Star Wars Prequels DR, The Lost Boys DR, 1940s Hogwarts DR, 90s Britpop DR, House of the Dragon DR, etc. ✗

ᯓ★ MY TAGS:

always motivating to see shifters on here give quick updates on their DRs even after they've been inactive for a while. really reminds you that life does just go on in your DRs whether you post about it or not

[jazuzzle]

reminder that this reality is not more "canon" than your desired reality. it's not the original or the first one, it's just the one you've been aware of for the longest time consecutively. example, your family here is not your "canon" family and your desired reality is not an AU (alternate universe) fanfic. it is fully valid and real and original and canon. and you are not obligated to have the same family in your dr, dont feel guilty if you want different parents or siblings in your dr.

five minutes from now

specifically for people who don't want to visualize / struggle to.

this is something i have been doing for awhile now before i could articulate what it is or why it works.

back when the shift felt so so impossible, so i would just ask myself "what if it happens five minutes from now?"

what it does is it essentially skips past the forced imagination part, to just brute forcing your mindset into how it would feel in the 3d, in the now, etc. not later, not someday. just five minutes from now.

remember you're not doing this to get it in the 3d. but more like forcing YOU to feel the inevitability, realness of it.

i do this whenever i feel the need to, like when doubts or desperation pops up.

why it works: it messes with the impossibility of it all. while your brain might insist, “that’s impossible,” it can’t defend itself against “five minutes from now.” there’s no logical refutation, you just don’t know. it could. it could happen. and we abuse that loophole.

now please don't treat this in a 'well i've been doing this for weeks now, it doesn't work' because then, guess what has a higher chance of happening five minutes from now?

this is more of a reset, a course corrector, if you will; when you feel like maybe you've 'lost' the thread of intention or thought about lack, etc.

you want a step by step guide for shifting? here you go.

intend -> connect -> act -> go

avenues to take for intention

think , affirm . doesn’t take much, a mental image of what you’re aligning with is enough .

avenues to take for connection

imagine , visualize , feel . anything that gets you emotionally connected and shows your subconscious your dr is familiar and safe for your awareness to slip into .

avenues to take for action

let go . that’s it . there is no other action you take to shifting but surrendering. stop the visuals, affirming, checking. let go .

and then? what next?

SHIFT. SHIFT. JUST SHIFT.

the secret of shifting or that “sweet spot” that people keep talking about is not one that’s found from excess emotion. you do not need to be hyped or crying from love for your dr to shift. you also don’t need to force constant affirmations or visuals. you just want to be in that calm neutral state where you know what you want, you’re not grasping at it, you’re open to receiving it, and you’re okay with relaxing into the unknown. that’s how you shift into any circumstance, any state, any desire. it doesn’t take hours—it doesn’t even take a minute. it’s just a choice. you can bypass steps 1 and 2 but a lot of people need those steps to make themselves neutral. and that’s okay. just don’t get stuck at step 1 or 2. they’re great to prepare you but they’re just ways to keep you relaxed. they aren’t what make you shift. 3 is essential. the surrender is essential. that’s why i preach self trust so much! hope this helps.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS POST RN. this is the best post on shifting here and sadly the creator has deactivated their account. I hope this will help y'all!! 🫶🏻

[ololygmantia]

there's this one DR where the backstory section of my script keeps evading me and it's driving me crazy. I've already written four different essays and deleted them like a day later because they just didn't feel right. is this my sign to stop overscripting

#some shifters when you tell them you don't want to live in a utopian fairytale where you and the people around you are flawless and never experience anything slightly negative: 😱

[ennyshifts]

to whoever needs to hear this,

your thoughts don’t have to be perfect to shift. your feelings don’t have to be positive. your doubts don’t have to disappear.

it doesn’t matter if you think against your goal or feel negative, because you’re not shifting your mind or your thoughts.

you’re shifting your awareness. awareness only observes your thoughts and emotions. it doesn’t cling to it. your mind does.

and because you’re not shifting your mind and because your awareness doesn’t cling to anything, it can’t resist a shift.

there’s actually no real difference between your negative and positive thoughts. the only difference is the way you react to them. but even that can’t resist a shift. nothing can.

you can shift with the shittiest mindset and with a mind full of doubts, because neither of those things can resist a shift!

this is a long shot but does anyone remember the shiftoker yennefersbody who had Charcot–Wilbrand syndrome which makes you unable to dream? I'm so fascinated by the idea of someone like that shifting because it would probably prove that shifting isn't lucid dreaming

[ololygmantia]

being a shifter who only believes in like 35% of the shifting extended universe is so funny. I'll be scrolling on the dash like “yes 100%!! hmm not too sure about this. nope i don't think so. OH for SURE!! yeah no this is bs lol”

“get off tumblr, meditate and attempt to shift” says local woman who has done nothing of the sort since making that post

[ololygmantia]

niche dr idea: attend stephen hawking's time traveller party on 28 June 2009 and make up whatever you want about time travel. blow that man's mind!

[ololygmantia]

Does anyone else ever feel like they're “inserting” themselves into their DRs? I know my DR is a real, tangible place where I already exist, but it sometimes feels like the story is too convoluted for even the concept of me to fit in properly
