You are not fundamentally different from the version of you that can shift, you can shift right fucking now. Nothing is stopping you from shifting. That doesn't mean I think it's "your fault" that you haven't, that means I think you are going to make it. Everything could change in seconds. Stop telling yourself you have to fix everything about you before you can shift. You have the exact same potential and ability as you would if you shifted.
the amount of intense emotional connection youâd have with your s/o when you have sex is gonna be crazy. i already feel so emotionally connected with my s/o hereâŠ
now imagine being up close so vulnerable and raw and just open with each other during our private sacred moment. just us two. oh my god. i feel one with him. the insane amount of energy together. itâs not just the pleasure but the bonding. like youâre in me, im full of you. that sealed it for me. no other man can ever compare. thatâs the love of my life. my other half.
imagine your desire as already fulfilled. in this case being 'i have already shifted', and then let it be. donât try to force it, stop searching aimlessly all day on tumblr trying to find a holy relic that will grant you the magical ability of shifting, because you have already shifted. once youâve assumed the end, life itself will move you in the right direction to bring it about.
think of it like planting a seed. when you plant a seed, you donât keep digging it up to check if itâs growing. you trust that, with time, it will sprout and become a tree. the same way, in which you assume your desire is already real, youâve 'planted the seed.' you needn't interfere, just trust it will grow naturally. (u can assume that you will shift quicker than it takes to grow a plant.. maybe i should've used a concorde jet as an example)
all you need to do is imagine the end, and let it happen naturally. if you find comfort in methods, you can always visualise that you told all your friends that you've shifted, or a scene straight from your dr, all things which align with your end result.
once you assume the end, it is inevitability itself which brings you to your dr because there is no other reality that you are aligning yourself with. this is the law, stop trying to bypass it silly
"all you need to do is imagine the end, and let it happen naturally. if you find comfort in methods, you can always visualise that you told all your friends that you've shifted, or a scene straight from your dr, all things which align with your end result."
this is for the anon in my inbox asking about methods. inspired by @hrrtshape anti method, which lives forever in my mind like a spellbook. this is my version. and it works. like wake-up-in-your-dr works.
youâre not stuck. youâre not trying to shift. youâre not reaching. youâre just dreaming.
this whole place, your current reality? itâs a dream. you are asleep in your dr, safe and warm and home. and this life you think youâre living is just your dream self walking through a fog. a little movie youâre watching behind your eyelids.
so what do you do?
you donât fix the dream. you donât analyse is. you donât wait for it to suddenly vanish. you wake up.
you tell yourself: this is a dream. iâm dreaming. iâm already in my dr. iâve woken up from this dream.
and you donât give in to the thoughts that push back. you donât explain yourself to the voice thatâs telling you no. you just keep going. keep affirming.
why does this work? because your subconscious is always listening.
and it doesnât care if youâre screaming your affirmations or whispering them in your sleep. itâs not looking for emotions. itâs not analysing how ârealâ it feels. itâs just responding to the story you keep telling.
so when you tell it âiâm in a dream. iâm already thereâ again. and again. and againâŠ
your subconscious says: okay.
you do not need to visualise.
you do not need to feel anything.
you do not need to âconnectâ to your dr.
you do not need to wait for a sign or a symptom.
you just need to decide. âiâm already there.â not because it feels real. not because you believed perfectly. but because you said so. thatâs enough. your subconscious doesnât care if your voice is shaky. it doesnât check for proof. it just follows the dominant assumption.
and the more you assume it, the more it settles into place. the less resistance, the less confusion. until your eyes open, and they open in the right world. you didnât earn it. you didnât force it. you just woke up.
âš this is a dream. about time you woke up, donât you think?
my favourite shifting storytimes?? the ones where people shift after years of trying; after they had little hope left and then BOOM, they shift. they have done it. they can finally close the âhavent shifted yetâ chapter of their lives. they can finally hug the arms they have been longing for. its like a pirate finding a treasure chest after going on a whole quest to find it.
the fun thing about a shifting journey, is that it can look like still water.
and beneath that still water, is a whole life living beneath it. Just because it is still and unclear on the top doesnât mean itâs empty.
just because your shifting journey feels like it isnât moving, doesnât mean nothing is happening beneath the surface.
You know, when you go to a lake or the sea. That the water is dirty, but underneath there is fish, seaweed, multiple different living things. You canât see it, but you know it is there, you are aware that it is there.
The same with shifting, you know your dr is there, you are aware where your waking up, what you are doing when you get there.
just because you canât see it, doesnât mean it isnât there. Just because it isnât moving right now, doesnât mean something isnât moving beneath the surface.
I think LOA is finally clicking and itâs all Emmaâs fault (affectionate)???!!! Guys. You literally donât need to do anything. Theyâre not lying to you. No void state, no spell work, shadow work, aligned actionâŠthese are all things you just CAN do. LOA has helped me a lot with my mental health and realizing how I never assume in my favor in general. But once I made that realization, I started getting upset that all of my inner work and struggle through trauma didnât get me to my DR. See what I did there? I played a waiting game basicallyâŠand while I really truly took time to assess my inner self, I still wasnât assuming in my favor. My friendsâŠwith trauma or no trauma. Change your affirmations ASAP! No matter what I see, hear, think, feel, smell, touch, or doâŠI am in my desired reality. NOTHING holds me back. Internalizing is different than knowing, and that follows after just a little repetition. NOTHING holds you or me back. LOA people arenât joking around when they tell you that. Affirm that NOTHING around you does anything but launch you forward. There is no backwards. Iâve been feeling so much better since I actually internalized this- damn.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES I TAKE FULL ACCOUNT FOR THIS
How to really shift: a deep, gentle and complete approach based on data from people who shift on command.
Introduction: what the data says about people who shift on command ->
Most people who have managed to shift in a stable and repeatable way share the following:
â A deep sense of relaxation: mental, emotional, and physical
â A form of dissociation from personal identity or ego
â Mental states close to sleep (alpha or theta brainwaves)
â A strong connection with calm or neutral emotions (sadness, serenity, emptiness)
â Detachment from outcome and absence of hypervigilance
â Gentle, slow practices that are not overwhelming and adapted to their own rhythm
This post is a synthesis to help you recreate ideal conditions, without pressure, by maximizing your chances of shifting, whatever your cognitive or emotional profile may be.
Intense emotions (anger, stress, euphoria, fear) reduce the chances of shifting, or at least donât seem to help for most profiles.
Calmer emotions (sadness, melancholy, inner emptiness, serenity, gentle excitement) are more effective.
Emotional calm doesnât have to be joyful or âpositive.â
Itâs an inner openness.
Why?
The brain can enter favorable brainwaves (alpha, then theta) when it no longer fights an emotion.
When weâre sad without resisting that sadness, or when weâre calm, weâre close to a hypnagogic trance state, a state that seems to allow shifting more easily.

2) The ego: the critical self must dissolve
You may find it more difficult to shift if your brain is trying to understand, verify, or monitor.
Many think they must âlet goâ... then ask themselves if they did it right.
-> Thatâs the trap of the ego. It sneaks into the intention to let go.
What is observed in the testimonials:
People who shift on command often have a âfloatingâ state of awareness, detached from analysis, even from personal identity.
They describe losing the sensation of their body, or no longer being âthemselves.â
This is not dangerous dissociation, but a gentle dissolution of the self.
Tip:
-> Donât try to let go. Try to forget you have to do anything.
Enter a state where you âwatch yourself from afar,â or better, where you have nothing left to do.
-> A good mental image: you watch your thoughts pass by like clouds. Donât chase them. Donât identify with them.
The definition of ego
3) Physical and brain state: encourage entry into the alpha or theta state
Shifting seems to happen more naturally when the brain enters a pre-sleep state (alpha/theta waves). This is also what hypnotists and lucid dreamers seek.
How to encourage this?
- Get into a position where you could fall asleep, but donât try to sleep
- Gentle, conscious breathing: inhale slowly, exhale even slower
- Let your body become heavy, soft, numb
- Try not to move even if you feel itchy (not mandatory)
Complementary techniques:
- Slow countdown (from 100 to 0, or even from 0 to 0)
- Slow mantras, whispered or gently thought
(âI let myself go,â âI have nothing left to do,â
âMy body falls asleep, but my mind travelsâ)
- Listening to theta/alpha waves
- Gentle immersion in one sense
My favorite alpha/theta wave to listen
4) Calming hypervigilance: the overlooked key
This is probably the main cause of failure for those who "havenât shifted in a long time".
Hypervigilance = brain constantly on alert:
- "Am I doing it right?"
- "What if I still canât do it?"
- "I MUST succeed"
- "Is it normal to think like this?"
- "Am I in my DR or not?"
- "How will I know when Iâve arrived?"
Solution:
-> Reconnect with non-goal. Let go of the idea that you must succeed. Tell yourself:
âTonight, Iâm simply going to live the experience.
Even without results, itâs a victory.â
At the moment you shift, focus on internal sensations, breathing, or one of your senses in a soft way without forcing, for example touch or anything else.
Tip: Create a mini-ritual. A soft light, slow ASMR, a relaxation gesture. This conditioning will signal your brain: âYou can let your guard down now.â
Even with a strong critical mind it is possible to shift.
5) Encouraging the release of critical thinking during the shifting time
The critical mind is the inner judge, the one that "watches to see if youâve arrived". It blocks the shift, or at least makes it harder, because it keeps identifying with the ego and prevents letting go.
To deactivate it:
- Donât use methods that are too rigid (unless they calm your critical mind if you're familiar with them)
- Choose a gentle method, leaving room for imagination without forcing
- Vague visualization or sensations > precise mental images
- Whispered or softly thought affirmations, not shouted or repeated frantically
Example:
âI let myself fall thereâ, âIâve already leftâ, âMy mind floats, thatâs allâ
No matter the affirmation, what matters is that it resonates with you, aligned with your state and emotions.
The methods of those who shift on command
6) Accepting differences in cognitive and sensory profiles
You're not âbadâ if you can't visualize.
You're not âbrokenâ if you donât get it quickly.
Some people:
-Need total silence, others need background sound
-Donât visualize, but feel
-Have an active mind: in that case, channel it into soft narration (âIâm sinking,â âIâm floatingâ)
-Need more repetition or conditioning (especially in cases of ADHD, autism, chronic anxiety)
What matters is the general state: calm, relaxation, acceptance, mental letting go.
Basically: it's not a matter of method, but of inner state.
What you should aim for is a modified state of consciousness, emotional relaxation, a soft loss of control, not mental performance.
-> You donât shift by âthinking betterâ, you shift by âthinking lessâ, or rather, by letting go.
At the end, a tip to try tonight:
Lie down, close your eyes.
Breathe slowly. Let your body fall asleep.
Then think gently:
-> âItâs already done.â
âI have nothing to do.â
âI let myself drift.â
No goal. No visualization. No checking.
If nothing happens? Itâs OK. Youâve already started aligning with the needed state.
The most complete shifting protocol you'll ever try (or THE shifting method?)
Itâs been a while since Iâve been working on this protocol. Iâve done my best to optimize every step to help as many people as possible based on the survey i shared, the problem y'all gave me and my knowledge. I wonât claim itâs foolproof, but I truly believe it can make a big difference for a lot of you. If you decide to try it, thereâs a survey at the end of the blog so you can share your experience and help refine it even more. Letâs go shift!
1) During the day / during the week
Feel free to read your script, listen to a sound that reminds you of your DR, affirm, or meditate, depending on what suits you best.
This helps prime your subconscious and creates familiarity with your DR across days, without pressure.
Adapt it to your style: for some people, music works; for others, reading or daydreaming is enough, you really don't need to do too much.
Tip: consistency is more important than perfection. Do whatever will please and help you.
For example, you can create mood boards or playlists, this is an example, you can do whatever you want.
2) Just before sleep
Do a short meditation of at least 5 minutes. It can be guided or silent, but its goal is to calm your mind and detach from your current day.
This helps move from beta waves to alpha or theta, creating an optimal bridge for shifting.
Tip: even 5 minutes can deeply shift your state if you do it with true presence.If you really like meditation you can even do more.
A short 10 minute meditation like this can really help.
3) Setting your intention
As you get ready to sleep, remind yourself:
->âTonight, I shift. I am safe. I am ready to transform.â
Or any affirmations adapted to you and pace.
Place this intention in your mind without obsessing, just like setting a GPS route.
Tip: repeat it once or twice if you wish, but then let it go with confidence.
4)WBTB (Wake Back To Bed)
Plan to wake up in the night after a sleep cycle (e.g. 4â6 hours depending on your sleep rhythm).
No random phone use, and absolutely no social media unless itâs only to launch your theta/alpha sound and remove the alarm .
â ïžBlue light filter ON if you check anything.
Move minimally (water, bathroom, a short stretch) and keep the lights dim.
Stay awake at least 3 min, maximum 50 min, then go back to bed.
The phone can interfere with entering theta/alpha waves. I really recommend putting on the blue light filter about 1 hour before going to sleep.
5) During WBTB
While youâre awake, you can:
-get up and drink some water
-reread your script
-daydream about your DR
-do a tiny relaxation
Avoid overstimulating yourself.
Tip: this phase is for priming, not restarting the whole shift preparation from scratch.
6) Breathing techniques
When returning to bed, start with:
box breathing (inhale 4s, hold 4s, exhale 4s, hold 4s)
Coherence breathing (5s in, 5s out, smooth rhythm)
Or 4-7-8 breathing (4s in, hold 7s,exhale 8s)
->Just choose what suit you the best.
Let these rhythms calm your system and focus your mind away from your physical body.
->breathing = grounding + focus.
Explanations of the three types of breathing .
7) Brainwaves support
Play theta or alpha binaural beats, or isochronic tones, if you like them.
No need to overthink the âperfectâ track. Choose something relaxing, consistent, with no big volume spikes.
-> your own sense of calm is more important than the frequencyâs perfection.
You can play this kind of waves.
8) Physical position
Choose a position where you wonât fall asleep too easily (like semi-sitting, or slightly propped up on pillows).
Keep your body still as much as you can, to favor the floaty feeling.
If you notice the urge to self-check, gently redirect to observing your inner calm and the quiet confidence that you will shift.
->trust the process instead of micromanaging it.
You are powerful and capable of shifting into your DR.
9) Mental focus
Try to distract your mind lightly:
-simple counting
-easy imagery (like clouds or stars or an object of your DR)
-recalling parts of your DR script
-small mantra
-feel the emotions you have in your DR
The goal is to stay in a passive but present state ,not to force your thoughts.
If you sense a âfloatyâ or dreamlike moment, flow with it.
10) Letting go
Once youâve affirmed or visualized, release.
Trust your DR will come to you naturally, without forcing or chasing.
Picture it like opening a door and calmly waiting for it to cross the threshold.
Softness + confidence are more powerful than pushing, try to be calm.
Many people feel closest to shifting with a calm focus.
11) Handling intrusive thoughts
If intrusive or negative thoughts pop up, see them as passing clouds.
Donât try to fight or suppress them, it only gives them power.
Instead, note: âOK, this thought is here, but it does not define me, it's not meâ
Your focus is the sail, your thoughts are just the wind. You can still steer.
You can imagine that they are like clouds passing across the sky.
12) Ego detachment
At the key moment, remind yourself:
âI am more than this current identity. It is safe for me to let go of this identity and experience a new oneâ
Disidentify from your âCR egoâ so your awareness can move more freely.(I invite you to see my blog on this subject)
This step is subtle but extremely powerful to release subconscious anchors.
Think of yourself as a free observer of realities, and embodie this soft feeling of safety.
13) Micro awakenings
If you donât shift straight away, set the intention to notice micro-awakenings in the night.
Example: âIf I wake up slightly, I will stay still and try again.â
These micro-awakenings are amazing opportunities to relaunch a shift attempt, especially in a hypnagogic state.
-> note your emotions and mental state after each try to adjust next time.
14) Lucid dreams as a gateway
Sometimes, these techniques will instead trigger a lucid dream even if you never done one before .
If that happens, you can:
-shift directly from the lucid dream
-or explore the lucid dream calmly and try shifting next time
->treat lucid dreams as allies, not as failures.
15) Tracking and reflecting
Whether you succeed or not, write down your:
-dreams(this technique can also greatly improve dream recall)
-emotions
-thoughts before sleep
This builds self-awareness and helps you adjust future attempts.
-> even small details (mood, environment, worries) can give clues about your subconscious state.
16) Holotropic breathwork (optional)
Once a week, you may practice holotropic breathwork to:
-release deeper emotional blocks
-loosen subconscious tension
-encourage identity detachment
This is not mandatory, but can help if you feel stuck.
This video can be useful for practice if you want to be accompanied while doing the breathwork.
Reminder: avoid if you have heart or trauma sensitivities without professional advice, and go see my blog on this subject I explain absolutely everything about this breathing.
17) Trust over repetition
Remember: more attempts â more success.
Quality of intention + quality of your state > number of tries.
Stay gentle, stay steady. One peaceful attempt is worth more than 50 frantic ones.
no timeline, no rush.
We see that the number of shift attempts doesn't mean anything about whether we'll succeed or not. This is based on my survey of people who have never shifted.
18) Final choices, 4 scenarios
From the point after wbtb, there are 4 possibilities:
1ïžâŁ You shift â congratulations, welcome to your DR!
2ïžâŁ You canât shift â place the intention for your next micro-awakening, note down insights, try again calmly.
3ïžâŁ You fall asleep and wake up in the morning â note dreams, thoughts, feelings for next time.
4ïžâŁ You enter a lucid dream â explore it or use it to shift on the spot.
Conclusion:
Shifting is not a race. It is an art of alignment, trust, and gentle identity release. This protocol gives you structure and freedom, combining proven techniques with space for personal adjustment.
You deserve to shift with peace, not with violence toward yourself.
-> Consistency + presence + compassion = the best conditions for success.
