“MY EXPERIENCE WITH SHIFTING & WHAT EVERY SHIFTER SHOULD KNOW”
(This is copy & pasted from Reddit. I read this whole post and found it to be very informative and useful! Link to original post is at the bottom.)
I need to share this with you because I know there are many people here going through exactly what I went through, and I want this account to serve as proof that it's real, that it works, and especially that the problem was never the technique, it was the state. I’ve been in the shifting community for many years about six or seven and for most of that time, I’ve never managed to shift, not even once: no mini-shift, absolutely nothing.
I’ve done everything, literally everything you can imagine: the Raven method, Alice in Wonderland, Sunni, Julia, intention-setting, the pillow method. I’ve meditated for hours before bed, listened to subliminals all night long, written 30-page scripts detailing every corner of my DR, and tried using binaural beats, frequencies, guided sessions, and no guidance with music and in silence, sleeping on my back, on my side, or sitting up, at night, in the afternoon, and during short naps. I’ve tried with methods and without any method at all. And every morning it was the same thing: I’d open my eyes and there I was same room, same ceiling, same CR. And every time it happened, the frustration grew, because it wasn’t just "I didn't manage it today"; it was "another day proving I can't do it, that this doesn't work for me, that maybe I'm the only exception, or maybe everyone who’s shifted is lying." I would fall into that destructive cycle I know many of you are familiar with I’d try hopefully, fail, get frustrated; the frustration reinforced the belief that it was hard, and that belief made it even harder; I’d try again with more desperation, fail again, and repeat this for weeks, months, and yearsuntil at some point I gave up completely: I left all the groups, deleted my scripts, stopped consuming any content about shifting, and told myself it was all nonsense, that none of it was real, and that I’d been a fool for believing in it.
Then, after some time, the urge would return; I’d go back to the groups, read someone’s success story, hope would reignite, and the cycle would start all over again, exactly the same: the same desperate attempt, the same frustration, the same hollow result. And, amidst all this frustration, I ended up developing a "method" which, deep down, was nothing more than self-destruction disguised as a technique called "Ren's Reboot." It works like this: you pull an all-nighter, staying awake until you are completely exhausted; when your body reaches its limit and is utterly drained, you lie down and try to shift out of that state of extreme fatigue. The idea is for the brain to be so exhausted that the conscious mind cannot put up any resistance, thereby facilitating the transition of consciousness.And look, I’ll be honest with you: I don’t recommend this at all. It’s a method that works by depriving your body of sleep and forcing an altered state through physical exhaustion; this is harmful to your health and affects your immunity, mood, cognitive abilities, and your entire life in your current reality (CR). Furthermore, it creates an unhealthy relationship with \*shifting\*, making you feel like you need to destroy yourself physically to achieve something that should be natural. I tried this several times and had unstable, fragmented experiences that left me even more frustrated upon returning; so, please, don’t go down that path.
What really changed everything for me wasn't a new method, a secret technique, a more powerful subliminal audio, or pushing my body to exhaustion; what changed was that I finally understood what I was doing wrong.
I was trying to shift from the mindset of someone who can't shift.
It sounds obvious when put that way, but in practice, it’s the most subtle trap there isbecause every time I lay down to "try," my internal state was one of need, of lack, of "please let it work this time," and that state is exactly the state of someone who isn't in their DR; I was inhabiting the mindset of "I want to go but I can't," and wondering why I wasn't going. I began studying Neville Goddard in depth not directly because of "shifting," but because I sought to understand how reality works at a deeper level. That was when everything started to make sense: I discovered the Law of Assumption. It is completely different from that superficial Law of Attraction the "think positive and the universe delivers" kind of thing. The Law of Assumption states that you are the creative consciousness and that reality is a direct reflection of the states you assume to be true not your desires, nor your requests or attempts, but rather what you accept as truth at the deepest level.
Neville taught something simple: assume the state of the wish fulfilled—do not desire, do not ask, do not try; simply assume it is already real and live internally from that place. Fall asleep in the feeling of someone who is already there, not in the feeling of someone desperate to get there. And that’s what I did.not overnight, because it was a process, but I did it. First, I stopped "trying" to shift completely. I stopped lying down with the intention that "tonight’s the night," stopped repeating affirmations, stopped monitoring symptoms, and stopped asking my body if I was feeling tingling or if it was a sign of something... I stopped all of that. Instead, I started working on my state of mind during the day; at random moments, I would simply put myself in the feeling of having already shifted. I didn't visualize elaborate scenes I just felt it. I felt the natural ease of someone who has already been there and can return whenever they want; I felt that the DR was just as real and accessible as the room next door. It wasn't an effort or a meditation session; it was just a matter of shifting my internal state for a few seconds and then going about my day as usual.
At night, before bed, I stopped "doing a method" and would simply lie there thinking about my DR like thinking about a friend's house without any pressure. Sometimes I’d imagine a scene there, feel it as real, and let sleep come naturally without forcing anything, monitoring anything, or staying awake trying to hold onto consciousness at all costs; if I fell asleep, I fell asleep no guilt. And the first time I actually shifted, I didn't use any method no script, no subliminals, no affirmations, no named techniques, nothing, absolutely nothing. I simply lay down in the right state and fell asleep. It was the most natural thing that has ever happened to me; after years of forcing it with every possible technique, the shift happened when I stopped trying and simply accepted that it was already mine.
There was no sensation of falling, none of the classic "symptoms" I had spent years waiting for and using as a gauge; I simply fell asleep and woke up there. And when I say I woke up there, I mean it was exactly like waking up in my current reality the same solidity, the same stability, the same feeling that "this is real." I opened my eyes and the surroundings were different, the body was different, the air was different, and the first thing I felt wasn't euphoria; it was as if I already knew that place, as if I had come home after a long time away.
I won't go into every detail of what I experienced there, because this account is already huge and some things are too personal, but anyone who wants to know can DM me.
Here’s what I want you to take away from this: Stop trying seriously. If you’ve been trying for months or years without success, the problem isn’t the method; it’s your state of mind. You’re dwelling in the mindset of "I want to go but I can't" and wondering why you aren't getting there. Change your state. Stop treating shifting like some massive, impossible event that requires rituals and perfect conditions, and start treating it as something you simply do something natural and ordinary, just another part of life.
