basically prompts on how to begin following a stream of consciousness when shifting…
i’m gonna keep this REAL brief but i got some comments asking how to access your dr self’s thoughts so here are some prompts! and they follow the major w’s! real simple. WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHY. that’s it.
so for who i’d start with “who am i?” and then answer that. but i’m not just answering with my name and birthday, i’m answering it as if someone’s asking me what kind of person i am. y’know? don’t give surface level answers for any of these. let yourself ramble a bit. be messy. that’s how i yield the best results.
then i’d go into “what am i doing?” and “why am i doing it?”
and then i’d ask “well, when am i doing this thing?” as in what day is it, what does this day look like?
then i’d go “where am i doing this thing at?” and just keep repeating until i enter a sort of flow state. also the where aspect is good for bringing senses into the mix.
here’s some things i DON’T do while practicing this technique:
i don’t expect anything instantaneous to happen. i rarely feel symptoms with this method but i think that’s because my attention isn’t focused on feeling anything, rather, it’s just focused on connecting to who i’m becoming aware of. i don’t pressure myself to feel the shift. if i do, that’s cool but it’s not a requirement and i don’t search for the feeling because i don’t need external validation to tell myself i’m shifting, i have the power to shift without cues from my body and environment!
my only goal is simply to connect to my mind naturally. its my belief that if you’re able to start thinking as your dr self even without feeling your dr surroundings you are STILL shifting!!! all of it is getting you closer to your dr.
and usually once i get to the natural thoughts point, i begin incorporating one sense at a time. NOT all of them at once. whichever one feels strongest is the one i use. for me, that’s usually smell and sight. so i use the same w’s to run through my awareness and figure out exactly where i’m located and then i kinda zone in on that. but i don’t force it. none of this should be forceful or straining to you. if it is, go back to square one. you do not want to resist the shift by adding pressure to feel something!! if you feel nothing, that is perfectly okay!! you can shift asleep. i’m just saying that this 2nd step is for those who want to shift awake.
i used to shift like this in 2025 and i made it up in july or august of 2024. it worked well for me then and i’m thinking of reincorporating it into my routine because i quite like doing this just in general, not even only for shifting.
but yeah. it’s real simple guys. think as your dr self -> do sense work -> shift to dr! if this seems fun or aligned for you, try it out! and remember, as long as something feels good you can’t go wrong with it. even if it doesn’t yield the results you want the first time around, it doesn’t mean you did something wrong. happy shifting 💋
