⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ Where do we go now

Hi, I'm Echo! I've been in the shifting community since the summer of 2020! I've taken a lot of breaks over the years (frustration, burnout, you get it) but I'm hyperfixating on shifting again, so I wanted to actually start posting about my DRs on this blog as well as just reblogging things. I have a lot of DRs but I tend to switch between hyperfixating on each of them for periods of time, and I'm sure my list will only continue to grow.

you cannot think your way into a shift.

all the theories, the information, the physics and the metaphysics and all—that’s so fun, yes, and so wonderful, but you can’t think your way into a shift.

there is nothing in the world that will teach you to shift. no amount of knowledge of physics, philosophy, or spirituality will teach you. it’s not in neville’s book, not in any religious book, not even in the shifting community itself.

there’s no step by step, full proof method. there’s nothing to learn from the outside.

so give up that search. accept it. accept that this is you. it’s always been about you and within you.

how to like channel my s/o cause i wanna talk to his handsome ass self

—my updated Channeling routine꩜

I was about to link you to my old channeling post but you know what? I don’t agree with the prep part, so I’m gonna cover this again!

1. Decide who you want to channel.

You can contact essentially everyone that comes to your mind. Not only you can talk with people from your DR, you can talk with even your deities if you believe in them, or aliens, or your higher self, or your ancestors, or your deceased pet or family member, or your soulmate, or truly ANYONE. Just decide.

Example. I want to channel Remus Lupin from my Hogwarts dr.

2. Do a quick (or however long you want) protection around yourself.

I thought this was mandatory but it really isn’t, because if you believe you can attract evil entities then that’s what’s gonna happen to you, therefore if you’re so confident you’re gonna talk to your desired entity then be calm and go on. If you’re unsure and, like me, you get intrusive thoughts, you can simply affirm for protection, hold a crystal, visualise a positive energy shield around yourself, whatever. Then you’re free to start.

Example. Holding a selenite while affirming “I am safe during channeling, I’ll channel Remus Lupin from my DR only, I am divinely protected”.

3. Have a clear picture of their energy.

Say their name (if you know it). You can imagine their energy, their presence, together with their vibes and all there is about them, like their appearance, their scent, and also their voice. Feel them close to you.

Example. I’d imagine Remus’s voice, the smell of chocolate and maybe even smoke, and I’d feel comfort and cozyness.

4. Prove it’s them.

Ask them identity questions you know the answer to, without actually thinking about the answer yourself, it’s not that complicated I promise, but entities may be able to hear your thoughts therefore you have to just give yourself proof it’s really them.

Example. “What creature are you beside a wizard?” and he should reply with “Werewolf”.

5. You have started channeling them. You can now ask questions and talk.

This is all up to you, just talk to them, do whatever you feel like doing with them, you’re pretty much free right at this moment. The medium is up to you: if you want to channel telepathically then you’ll receive answers in the form of intrusive thoughts (they just feel like that to me, but positive most of the time), if you want to channel via pinterest you can ask your question and then refresh the page and look for words or specific images, you can do this with spotify shuffling, or with, simply, tarot cards or other divination tools.

Example. I use mostly telepathic communication but, when I don’t feel confident in my abilities, I’d use pinterest and tarot.

6. End of session? You can now close the contact.

You can do this with affirmations and intention. Or imagining to cut ties with everything or I don’t know.

Example. “I close this channeling session, every contact is now ended”.

—Congratulations, you just channeled! ꩜

when scripting a fantasy reality

i am sure i’m forgetting some concepts, so please reblog / comment with what you always script to help our fellow fantasy shifters!

minorities are majorly excluded in most of the popular fantasy medias. in my asoiaf realities i always make it a point to script that the whole realm isn’t just white people. it is unrealistic ( ironic, ik bc it’s fantasy but still ) for people to come about over evolution && only be white.

racism. nonexistent. idc. you might be frowned at for being half giant somewhere, but nowhere will you be discriminated against for the color of your skin.

escaping the long lines of incest! i always always script a completely new house ( family lineage ) separate from the families i plan to be romantically involved with. ie. my maegors reign reality i have no blood connection to the targaryens or jason’s house && my kings in the north reality takes place long before the targaryens ( a valyrian house ) reaches westeros; i am a stark while jason is from valyria, therefore we have absolutely no familial connection. it ain’t that hard, chat.

love is love, no matter gender. i really don’t enjoy the homophobia tropes often littered in the fantasy genre. i understand it is based on the medieval era but i still don’t care for it. so i script that the gender of those who love each other isn’t scandalous. but for drama && angst purposes i script that status is what the older generations look to for a ‘ good ‘ marriage. ie. a knight shouldn’t marry a princess.

blood right to the crown. when debating the rightful heir to the throne it is always the child the previous monarch / matriarch believes would run the kingdom the best. if they are not able to decide, the crown will fall to the firstborn. this rule keeps women from being skipped in the line of succession.

misogyny. men are not set above women in any shape or form. there is no underlying disdain towards them or anyone who is not a man.

What would you suggest someone who also have aphantasia? I only have auditory senses in my head. How should I go on with law of assumption and shifting? Would love your opinion ♡

Shifting and Manifesting With Aphantasia!

This is right up my alley because I used to be so confused when everyone would praise visualisation as the key to fast manifestation. I used to feel so left out because of my aphantasia.

I can 100% assure you that it cannot stop you from shifting or manifesting at all. Because despite having aphantasia, I have done both even when I used to think it was impossible.

Strap in because its a longer post!

Throw away the idea that you are lacking anything.

First off, I feel like we could get too disappointed having aphantasia and put a limiting belief on ourself that its harder for us to shift or manifest because of that.

This is something I did at the very beginning of my journey. So throw that idea in the trash because having aphantasia can't stop you from anything. You just have to mold methods to the shape of your individual mind. Not break yourself trying to bend for a method that wasn't made with you in mind.

Make up for it with other senses that are already present.

If you can't visualise, chances are that your other senses are sharper, or your thought process is more insightful because your brain is working around what you don't have.

You said yourself that your auditory sense in your head is present. I don't have that so I don't know how it's like but I want you to notice how you use it normally. Without the context of shifting just notice what you are doing in your head throughout a normal day.

Are you singing songs in your head? Can you imagine hearing other people's voices clearly saying something to you? Can you replay conversations in your head at your whim? If so, then its super easy from here.

Use it to your advantage!

Take things that you already do and flip them into something that will help you shift or manifest basically on autopilot, the same way you have a habit of doing.

For manifesting: Imagine people telling you exactly what you want to hear "omg you're so pretty." "How are you so rich?" "How come you shift so quickly?" Carry out whole conversations in your head where you already have all your desires and people are complimenting you about it and pretend its already real. Because why shouldn't it be?

For shifting: Imagine someone from your DR calling out to you, saying your name and talking to you. I recommend pairing it with proprioception and that could become an easy shifting method for you!

Feel, touch, taste and smell.

Touch: Use methods where you are touching something and telling yourself that this thing is anchoring you in your DR the more you hold it. Like a pen or something you relate to that DR. Touch your sheets, your pillow, whatever else you want and convince yourself that just the feeling of it is enough to ground you in your DR.

Feel: Think about what you will do in your DR first and feel the emotions you would feel if you were actually there. For me I can't really replicate emotions unless I am actually experiencing them, so instead, I list out my to-do list of things I have to get to as soon as I shift. It helps me focus on the feeling of really being there because I immediately want to micromanage my every action that I will take (the same way I do in this reality).

Taste: My Taste Method is based on this so give that post a read if you want to know in detail.

Smell: Buy a candle, some incense, perfume or anything else that reminds you of your DR. Light it at the exact time that you usually shift and your brain will start associating that smell with shifting. Whenever you smell it, close your eyes and really focus on that scent. Saying that its something you'd only smell in your DR so you must be in your DR right now, right?

Prove it to yourself on a smaller scale first.

The fact of the matter is, your brain will keep doubting until you give it proof. So do that. Instead of directly manifesting something "difficult" (nothing is difficult to manifest but I digress), try to manifest something that you have no choice but to accept as successful even if you try to check the 3D.

An example of this that I keep repeating is, ability. Maybe a hobby of yours, manifest that you are super good at it all of a sudden. Manifest that your happiness keeps increasing with every day that passes. Manifest that your friend will have a good day. Manifest that the last person you had a conversation with thinks you're so cool. Things that you can't prove or disprove. And then forget them if you want, it'll be a fun little surprise later when the 3D shows you that you are right.

Once you see how simple it was for you to manifest that, you'll start believing in yourself more. This helps with aphantasia because you can actually see that you're good at manifesting without visualising. You are proving to your brain that this is something you can do.

Proprioception!

I have mentioned it so many times because its the only thing I can "imagine" or feel real. Especially when it comes to shifting. I explain it in my post so go check it out to see how you can shift with it.

Prove to yourself it is real by skipping the visualisations and just bringing it straight to your reality.

Instead of "feeling it real" just make it real. Why waste time imagining that you have it when you can just tell yourself that you will see it once its in your 3D?

Do whatever manifestation method you prefer and then don't dwell on it, say that you'll enjoy looking at it and appreciating it when you see it in your 3D so you don't even need to see it in your mind because you'll just see it irl anyways.

Hi, I see people saying "let your thoughts flow without forcing them and allow yourself to be fully aware of the present moment," but could you explain the part about allowing yourself to be fully aware of the present moment? And could you give an example, please?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AWARE OF THE PRESENT MOMENT?

— hiii! i think there's a lack of context — in the context of the void state, i would understand it as simply relaxing and focusing on your breath, the darkness behind your eyelids, or the beating of your heart. i wouldn't think about anything in particular, but i wouldn't force myself not to think. if i notice that i'm distracted, i would return my attention to my breathing, for example, without worrying about thinking too much about other things — but this is not the only way to enter the void!! — in general, i understand it as being aware of what i'm doing right now or observing what's happening in the present moment. this post goes into more detail about it — "why dont you try to be present and aware of whatever you are doing once in a while because most of the time, "you" are just thinking about the past or stressing about the future. be present" — "just know he means be completely aware on (for example) washing the dishes instead of being aware of thoughts and other nonsense while you are washing" — "theres no reason to stop or argue with the mind and its thoughts and opinions. just observe them. remember: none of that is ever really happening; you are just observing consciousness (everything is consciousness / imagination). you are staring at yourself so theres no harm in that" — "i observe my breathing and quiet the mind and thoughts and observe. if thoughts dont stop coming, i wouldnt fight it because they are just unreal. they are harmless. i just observe the thoughts"

[hanashin]

Why do you think 90% of the community didn't shift?

because 90% of shifters are sending asks asking why they don’t shift.

people keep treating shifting like something they have to figure out, like there’s some missing step, some secret they haven’t unlocked yet.

but shifting isn’t something you have to do or earn.

it’s not a privilege.

it’s your right.

it’s within your control and it always has been.

but instead of accepting that, people keep looking outward. asking for more tips, more methods, more reassurance, more confirmation that they’re “on the right track”, more “what should i do now hana”, more “what should i change”, more “is shifting actually real”.

and i get it, it feels safer that way, more reassuring.

but at some point you have to ask yourself, are you actually listening to the answers you’re getting?

or are you just asking again because you’re hoping for a different answer. one that feels more convincing, one that finally removes all doubt for you.

because no one else can do that for you.

no one can convince you that you’re capable of shifting or that it’s real, no one can validate you into it.

and constantly seeking that validation just keeps you stuck in the idea that shifting is outside of you.

when it never was.

the issue isn’t ability, it’s where you think that ability comes from.

THAT’S the problem.

[hanashin]

Forgive me if this is a tired question. I’m just, quite confused. How do you find that ability to shift inside yourself when you’ve never done it before? How do you trust so fully that it’ll work when things seem stacked against you, or you just can’t convince yourself you’re there when you’re looking at this world. I do believe shifting is real, I think a lot do. But it’s finding that inner power that seems so many struggle with. Especially consistently. Like, deciding one day you have the power to shift… and then not proving yourself that you can, and then getting discouraged. Nobody wants to be claiming to be able to shift for weeks, months, or years and not actually see results. Which is why I think a lot of people stop. Because even when we DO seem to fully believe in ourselves we aren’t seeing the same results other shifters have had, so of course our brain goes to “well obviously I did something wrong somehow.” How do you get out of this cycle? Is it just.. luck that one day it finally works?

i get it, i really do. i struggled with this exact loop for years. it took me 5 whole years to shift successfully.

so when you say it feels like you believe, and then you don’t see results, and then your brain goes “i must be doing something wrong,” i completely understand that spiral. trust me. i lived in that spiral for the past 5 years before i shifted last year.

but this is where the shift in understanding has to happen.

because the version of you that feels like they’re “failing” or “not getting results” is the ego. it’s tied to the 3d. it’s the part of you that measures, compares, waits for proof, and then judges based on what it sees.

but that’s not who you are at your core.

you are pure awareness.

and as awareness, there is nothing to prove and nothing to get right or wrong.

there is no “ability” you have to find or unlock.

because you’re not building something new, you’re recognising something that’s already there.

that’s why people say shifting is inherent.

you don’t learn how to be awareness. you already are it.

and awareness doesn’t operate on proof the way the 3d does.

it doesn’t need repeated success to confirm itself, and it doesn’t need evidence to exist.

so the cycle you’re talking about, deciding you can shift, not seeing it, getting discouraged, trying again, doubting again…

that cycle only exists when you keep identifying with the part of you that’s waiting for confirmation.

but if everything already exists within you, then your dr isn’t something you’re trying to reach.

it’s something that already is.

so it’s not about convincing yourself harder, or believing more intensely, or trying to “prove” it over time.

it’s about understanding that there is no failure here unless you decide there is.

because what would failure even mean in this context?

you can’t fail at being awareness, you can’t fail at something that is already happening.

and i know that sounds frustrating when you feel like you haven’t experienced it yet in the way you want.

but the moment you stop treating it like something distant that needs to be achieved, and start seeing it as something that is already within you.

that’s when that pressure starts to fall away.

it’s not luck, it’s not random, it’s just a shift in where you’re standing from.

from trying to get there to realising you already are.

and the reason i always emphasise figuring this out for yourself is because i can’t force my perception of reality onto you.

this is what i believe, and it’s what works for me. it’s built from everything i’ve learned, and more importantly, what i’ve personally realised.

for the longest time, i tried to copy other people’s understanding. i repeated their words, followed their methods, tried to make their perspective my own.

and it never worked. i always pretended like i understood, or that it “clicked” for me, but i always felt like an imposter.

what actually worked was when i stopped, chose what made sense to me, and committed to that.

it became mine.

and when i finally understood shifting through my own lens, that’s when everything clicked.

because those realisations weren’t borrowed anymore, they were mine. there wasn’t anybody else to ask, and nobody to tell me that i’m wrong. how can they when i made the rules?

so my most valuable advice will always be to trust yourself enough to arrive at your own understanding.

because the moment it becomes yours, it stops being something you’re chasing, and starts being something you know.

HOZIER: SELF-TITLED

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 an ask game themed off of hozier's debut self-titled album! reblog for asks and I hope this is fun! this is my first time making an ask game, so lmk what you think. inspired by @miaojune's short and extra sweet ask game (which you can find here!)

⛪ TAKE ME TO CHURCH — is there something you find yourself devoted to? is it a person? or is it an ideal? or something else? what makes you drawn to it or them?

🪽 ANGEL OF SMALL DEATH AND THE CODEINE SCENE — did you ever have a wild night out? was there anything less than legal there (it's okay I won't tell)? did someone go with you? did you go in a group? what was the aftermath?

vane's shifting routine

NOTE: please remember that you do not NEED a routine to shift. You could close your eyes and shift in half a second if you wanted. but I'm feeling demotivated, and having a routine always brings back that missing spark. this is purely self-indulgent, and meant for anyone else who thinks a nostalgic routine might help them.

XO

STEP-BY-STEP ROUTINE

calming music that reminds me of my dr

I'm a night shifting person. I've never been able to get myself into the mindset during the day when I have things to do. so while I can appreciate louder, sometimes more aggressive music for my DR during the day, it's just more relaxing to have a calmer playlist at night.

2. shower and visualise

showers might not be everyone's style, and I know lots of people prefer them in the mornings, but they're so relaxing for me, and with the right candle combination, I just can't not think about my DR while I'm there. I use this time to unwind, forget about my current reality and visualise my desired reality.

3. pjs that remind my of my dr

this one's pretty straightforward. I love band t-shirts for my marauders DR, pretty underwear for places like TVD and SPN, I even have a couple of nightgowns that get me in the feels for my more medieval/fantasy-style DRs. it just keeps the mood going, really.

4. tea & manifesting

okay, I know the tea is a cliche, but hear me out. that's why I do it. it brings me back to the good parts of when I first learned about shifting. it helps me unwind, makes me feel nostalgic and reminds me why I started shifting in the first place. it's not necessary, but I personally find it very comforting. manifesting could be a lot of things for me; I like to keep my options open depending on my mood and my energy levels. watching the movie/show I'm shifting to, reading the book, listening to more music while writing a letter for someone in my DR, shifting journal, doodling like I'm in my DR, adding to/editing my script, writing blurbs about my DR. these are all some of my favourite forms of shifting manifestiation.

5. quantum jumping spell

again, this one won't be for everyone. I dabble in witchcraft and am a massive believer in spirituality (I can totally make a post about my belief system at some point if y'all want) so spells for shifting give me a lot of confidence if nothing else. I like making spell jars, reciting verbal spells or even just sitting quietly to feel the energy and mentally convert it into energy for shifting.

6. subliminal + method

subliminals are iffy for me. if I find one that really reminds me of my DR, it'll probably quickly become a favourite, but aside from that, they just make me fall asleep rather than letting myself drift off into void state or trying to visualise (again, I know none of these things are necessary, these are just my own preferences). not a big fan of guided meditations either for the same reason (with the exception of that one julia method guided meditation) methods are also an on-and-off practise, and I know some people are very against using them. I usually just go with whatever I'm feeling like that night, and sometimes that means no subliminals or methods; just intention.

MY FAVOURITE METHODS

daydreaming replacement method;

not really a method at all. just daydreaming about my DR with intention until I drift off to sleep or shift before I fall asleep.

void state method;

a little difficult for me as it reminds me of how I feel in the middle of a fever dream, but once I got over that, very calming yet somehow exciting and very effective. probably the easiest way for me to achieve total detachment so I'm not checking the 3D every five seconds.

julia method;

one of my first favourites. not much success and falling asleep before I've completed the method demotivates me a little sometimes, but it really makes me feel out my DR and defines it around the edges.

bianca method;

10/10. 5 star rating. when I say I've never had success in blocking out my doubts and fears before learning this method, I mean that (fuckin' ADHD). I use it almost every time in combination with whatever method I'm using or even when I'm using no other method at all.

method to nowhere method;

beautiful. so, so easy. so good at tricking your subconscious. and PERFECT for the nights when I just don't have the energy. it's actually ingenious.
