How I shift! (more accurately: get into the hypnagogic state)

Disclaimer! I'm definitely not saying "This is the right and only way!" I'm just sharing how it works for me!

It's usually all the same process, but I have two main methods things I use. I don't apply myself personally with labels, saying "I believe in LoA" or "I do ___ method" I just go with the flow and follow what I want to do or feel most comfortable doing.

I lay down at night, same time I go to bed, but instead of going to sleep, I try to shift/manifest. Most generally, I'll lay on my back because it's just uncomfortable enough for me to not fall asleep but not too uncomfortable where I can't focus on anything else. Putting my headphones on and playing theta/alpha waves, brown noise, or a void state subliminal also keeps me awake as I have problems with falling asleep in the middle of a method.

I'll say in my head "I intend to shift/manifest." I'll let my mind wander and do whatever it wants (ADHD lol) and then after a couple minutes (maybe about 10-15 minutes) It'll naturally come back to my original intention, after that amount of time, I'll be relaxed enough but not too relaxed.

I'll do a body scan and tense up every muscle and then relax them. (This is more on the witchcraft side, but I'll cleanse my body by imagining a white light shooting through my body, afterwards I'll imagine a protective bubble around me)

I'll then start counting to 200 slowly, saying affirmations after every 10 numbers. If my mind wanders, that's okay, I just continue counting. Usually right before I reach 200, I'll start drifting into the hypnogogic state and that's where I say and repeat affirmations!

My second method is basically the same thing, I'm just intending I'm already IN my DR. Instead of affirming and counting to 200, I'll simply pretend I'm in my DR. I'll say things like "Can't believe I have to get up at 8 AM tomorrow" etc etc

This works the best for me, I keep going until I feel my surroundings change! (And then proceeded to get stupidly freaked out or I just fall asleep)

TLDR:

★ Say what I'm intending to do, Lay on back, sometimes with headphones on

★ Let mind wander, bring it back

★ Relax my body by tensing and then relaxing my muscles and then cleanse thy self

★ Count to 200 while saying affirmations after every 10 numbers. Body will relax until I'm in the hypnogogic state

or

★ do same process up until ★ (blue star)

★ pretend I'm in my DR by repeating random things about my DR

If I could broadcast one thing, a single message to every shifter, and manifester out there, it would be;

GET OFFLINE.

GO. TOUCH GRASS. MAYBE EAT SOME.

Seriously, though, I understand you. I would go through this cycle of reading a post, getting super motivated, trying it and failing, and then flocking back to Tumblr to doomscroll. I would get so frustrated about "Why didn't this work?! This one blogger said it worked for them!"

Did you catch that? "This one blogger said it WORKED FOR THEM." I was forcing myself to do stuff I was uncomfortable with because it worked for another person. I remember I used to dread trying to shift. I'd be like "Ugh okay, guess I gotta try and shift now."

I would over consume content so much, hearing different opinions, "facts", methods coming at me like bullets, all from different blogs!

But here's the catch, shifting is fluid. manifestation is fluid. Like batter.

Lets say you're a freshly new baker, you love watching baking videos and you want to try making something on your own but you don't know what to do.

You find a recipe for cookies and you find yourself wanting them. It feels right, making cookies feels fun for you but then one of your friends comes in and says "You should make cupcakes, they're way better!"

You agree because your friend must know what they're talking about! They've made cookies and cupcakes before, cupcakes were clearly better for them. You pour the batter into cupcake molds, still following your cookie recipe out of habit from all those baking videos, but you find yourself not really feeling cupcakes. Too hard to decorate. You just don't like them.

Another day, you're about to make another batch, another friend pops in and says "You should try making muffins, it's so good and it's healthier than cupcakes!" You decide to make muffins. But you burn them with your cookie recipe.

This continues, someone pops in and says "Make an apple pie!" and "Make a cake!" You, again, follow their suggestions, but you can't find yourself liking any of them, or you just end up burning them. Everyone insists that their desert tastes better and is better than every other desert, but you simply don't like them.

That passion you had for baking, for wanting to try and make a sweet-treat eventually wavers. You get demotivated. You might even think they're lying about baking being fun.

This is EXACTLY how it is with you guys. Following instructions from other people that don't work with your brain, or that just isn't fun. You have a cookie recipe, you WANT to make cookies. Why are you not?

Why are you following methods and beliefs that you don't like? Or that don't sit well with you? You KNOW that you want to make cookies so why aren't you? Why are you blindly following what other people say just because it suits their personal tastes, just because it works for them?

Shifting, and manifesting are all highly personal journeys. It's designed to be molded into YOUR image. YOURS. Not anyone else's image.

Once I realized this, not only was shifting and manifesting finally fun for me again, I actually GOT RESULTS. I ONLY got results when I put my phone down, and did what felt comfortable for me, did what felt right for me.

TLDR:

Stop trying to make yourself fit into another person's shoes. Shifting/manifesting/LoA.. Whatever will work if you do what's best for you and you alone. Stop actively doing stuff you're uncomfortable with, stop following beliefs that you don't actually believe in just because they work for other people.

I can guarantee that once you put your phone down and start doing what you want and start believing what feels right to YOU, not only will your journey get so much fun, you'll also get better results.

You've all heard of The Law of Assumption I assume (lol). The Law of Assumption has completely dominated tumblr's manifesting and shifting space, but what about the other laws that come with them? The other 12 laws? The Law of Assumption is only 1 of those 12 universal laws. The Laws of Metaphysics, the Laws of the universe.

I'm going to write about the first one today, The Law of Divine Oneness in this post but first I'm going to answer the question;

"What are the Laws?"

These laws are like scientific laws. (The Law of Gravity... Etc.) But I'd personally say they're similar to guidelines, or just the principles of the universe. They're to help us understand how the universe works on a metaphysical and spiritual level.

The 12 Laws are a melting pot of ancient spiritual practices, philosophical concepts, and esoteric teachings. With very strong roots from Hermetic Philosophy and the 7 Hermetic Principles which go back to ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, First Century A.D. (may make a post on those sometime in the future) I read in a couple of articles say it has tie-ins to the ancient Hawaiian Ho'oponopono meditation and multiple other ancient Hawaiian traditions.

The Law of Divine Oneness - The First Law

The Law of Divine Oneness states that everything and everyone is connected. You and your cat are connected, the fly on your wall, your best friend... Everything is connected.

Our egos are trained to see the difference in everything and everyone. Our egos says that everyone is different and individual. Separate. And it's not wrong, but it's only true on one plane of existence, the 3D. But on a spiritual and energetic level, everything is connected. It states that everyone, even the ants on the ground are a physical manifestation of the same energy source.

Everything you think, say, do, or don't do, every event is connected to everything. When you're kind to someone, you're kind to yourself. When you lash out at someone, you're lashing out at yourself, and vice-versa. That is why insecure people or people who aren't in a good mental place tend to be rude to other people, because they're not kind to themselves.

Ever accidentally say something awkward or hurtful in a conversation, and the energy shifts? How you can physically feel the energy shift? That's the Law of Divine Oneness at work. That were all connected through energy, our source, our souls, our higher selves, the universe-- whatever you believe in. We're connected through that.

Realizing and recognizing that we're all in this together, every being is just trying to get by in life opens up your eyes, because once you're kind to yourself, you're kind to others. You notice a shift in how others treat you and how you emotionally feel.

"How does this tie into manifestation?" You may ask, it's simple. If you want something, you are that something. You are that person with a new job, even if you seem like you're unemployed, because everything is connected. INCLUDING you and your desire.

That is the Law of Divine Oneness.
