HOW IT FEELS TO SHIFT AWAKE

(coming from a procrastinator that often gets bored during attempts and STILL shifts anyway)

HI SHIFTBLR! I'm back with a big post.

So, I've been on tiktok lately and i've been seeing a lot a lot a LOT of people talking about how to awake shift and it really inspired me to speak on my experience because i don't really see that many people share their awake shifting experiences in detail.

Just for context, I use my own method to awake shift. It's fairly easy. All it takes is patience and some free time, that's all.

There's this girl on tiktok named Kas who PERFECTLY encapsulated my METHOD in a video but in way better words. She defined shifting as DISCONNECTION, IDENTIFICATION, AND RECONNECTION! That is exactly it! Most people get stuck on Disconnection and give up. I often get really bored before this part but trust me that's just your ego trying to stop you! Don't ever listen! You could live your dream life rn babes why would you quit?!?

So, THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO SHIFT WHILE AWAKE:

I meditate by breathing in like 2-5 times, sometimes i do it for longer but i find that if i do it for too long, i end up falling asleep. This step is important but it shouldn't be overdone because your body isn't even needed to shift.

i immediately start on DISCONNECTION. I tell myself "I am disconnected from my current reality. I am not this body / vessel" until i start to feel a little floaty.

After feeling floaty, i'm still feeling connected to my CR but i kinda ignore it and just skip straight to connecting to my DR SELF via identity affirmations.

Usually at this point i start to visualize where i'll wake up and sometimes i get so deep in it that i dont even have to do CONNECTION because i'll start hearing stuff from my DR or feeling stuff. Like if i'm petting my cat, i'll subtly feel her fur but like in my CR if that makes sense?? It's like i can FEEL it as my DR self but my CR self is feeling the sensations. I actually hate this because it feels like a game of cat n fucking mouse. Like whats the point of that "phantom" ass feeling? Just shift and feel it for real lmaoo!!

I'm going to try to explain this as best i can: When I shift while awake, it's lik the reality fades in. Like, I'm in my CR doing affs, and then all of a sudden i'm in my DR. . . there is no distinction of travel between the two. i'm just here one moment and then the next im in my DR. I can never predict the exact moment because it just happens and im not even really paying attention when it does. I just notice that i'm there, yk?

lately i've been getting bored after the feelings stop, so i just kinda give up :/ but i still hear stuff from my DR so i count that as a partial shift, aka shifting regardless!!!

thank ya for reading and prepare to hear me talk about this again as i continue to shift later today :) feel free to hit my ask box with questions!!!!!

The easiest method you’ll ever know (SUPER DUPER EASY)

Elo shiftblr 🙋🏽‍♀️ CB back again with a rather shocking post . You all know that I’m super against methods . Like I consider them the bane of shifter existence. Not because they’re “bad” or “don’t work” but because the community has made them into this god tier level piece of work that only creates unnecessary work for newbies . It’s taken me years to shift. Now that I’ve done it like a kajillion times I’ve finally realized that everything we do is a god damn menthol whether we like it or not so we might as well embrace them . Intelligently, though.

Tons of people have been asking me about how I shift, when I shifted, my success story, etc etc and well here’s the post ! Not my success story tho , it’s coming i promise !!!!

Side note: this method is not the only method that you can shift with. None of the steps are required nor the end all be all. If you’d like to substitute a step with something else, go ahead! It’s your life and at the end of the day you will only ever shift if you do it naturally, by your own means.

Anyway, this method is insanely easy! It’s literally the most basic of all methods and requires just a few things

REQUIREMENTS

1. PATIENCE! this is the most important thing YOU MUST HAVE! It doesn’t matter if you spiraled five minutes before reading this or haven’t tried in months. What you do NOW is all that matters. Your mindset is your truth. If you are having trouble with the LOA, then this might not be the one for you. No worries!

2. Get comfortable. For me personally, I love shifting in my own space where I’m alone bc it gives me the ability to focus on me and only me. Bonus points if it’s quiet!

THE METHOD:

1) Meditate.

. Yes I know! Boooo meditation! The devil of the shifting community 🥲🥲 unfortunately for most of you this is like the second most important step! You are probably battling your doubts and fears. If you’re like me, you know you can shift but you just feel like you’re stuck fighting your own head. This is the solution babes!!!!

Meditation doesn’t have to be a big performative ahh ceremony either. Just sit, breathe, and tell yourself that you are calm. That’s all I do and I feel so so so much better after.

You don’t have to meditate and shift, you can just meditate, but when I meditate it usually leads to shifting… so do with that what you will ! Anyway, it’s good for you! And necessary for this method !!

So boom, you’re sitting calm and cool. At this point, you might start seeing colors and shit behind your lids. Cool !! You’re 50% done ✅ awesome! You might be feeling bored now, wondering when it’s gonna happen and if you should just give up. This is where major patience is needed.

2) destroy your ego.

Sounds fucking scary ik! It can be when the realization that everything that has ever stopped you from getting what you want derives from this. The ego. A part of your subconscious mind that holds your beliefs, doubts, fears, flaws, etc. Everyone has doubts about shifting, and they likely show up when you’re trying and give up. For this method, no matter what you do, DO NOT GIVE IN! I repeat: DO NOT GIVE INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! If you must stop meditating, let it be for something you gotta do, a responsibility you must fulfill. Do NOT stop just because you are letting your doubts tell you to. They are lying dead in yo face.

3) Connect to your DR.

If you’re trying to shift, this is when you can start visualizing or affirming if that works for you. For me personally, visualizing works even tho I feel like I suck at it 🥲 I usually visualize with five senses, typically touch or eating . I’m always eating LMFAO. I love when the visualization starts and I forget that I’m in my CR! Most times my DR senses start to pick up before the shift even happens! It's either phantom touching or i straight up blink and im in my DR. If you just want to practice, document which senses shift first! Its' fun!

This also may be applied to any other OOBE ! If you want to AP, LD, or idfk go into the void or wtv, this is the part where you start to place your awareness on that. This is the core of shifting. Once you detach from your CR space / body, it’s much easier to have a OOBE. Calmer thoughts / deflated ego = reality detachment. Do this for as long as you have to, but try not to measure time because that will only ground you in this reality more.

(EDIT 3/30: i've realized that if you're truly deep into this state then time literally stops existing. Its like you close your eyes thinking no time passed and then you check and its like half n hour!)

If you must, measure time in how long you’ve shifted, not how long you’ve been trying in your CR. Your ego will try to check and it may feel very strong, but you just have to keep going bestie. I know how it feels. It sucks. You wanted to shift instantly like yesterday, but trust me all it takes is a little faith and then your whole life is changed 🩷

There are no more steps! By this point, I’ve shifted. It works every time! This method only “fails” when you give up.

Theres a post by @annessxhaven that goes into a more spiritual perspective of this method. Creds to them! I finally understand the core of it and have done it successfully, so now I can share results! @shaysplanet also has advice that is similar to this but worded differently ! Stay shifty x

[cowboy-barbiana]

I consciously shifted for the first time ever… and now I feel like a brand new being. Guys, this shit is actually so, so easy. I promise! Please, please, please start taking the advice very seriously. Glossing over it and thinking about it for 5 seconds does not serve you. If you want results, actually apply.

I want to be clear on the fact that I have never “consciously” shifted before. Meaning that I have never affirmed to be in my DR / did a method and actually shift there, until 10 minutes ago… I know, I know ! What an insanely ballistic statement. I never knew when this day would come, but holy hell is it not at all a coincidence that it came not even 3 days after I decided to affirm that I’m a master shifter and that I already shifted to my DR.

LAW OF ASSUMPTION IS YOUR BEST FRIEND! Literally all it takes is to tell yourself that you are whatever you wanna be. Fuck the struggles. Fuck the “building” a new identity. Just persist in the thought that you have already shifted and repeat when doubts show. I’ve been doing that for three days, and shifted to my DR in less than 5 minutes.

Ok, so now you’re thinking about the exact “how” of it all. Well first, I woke up this morning in my CR. Last night, I remember begging myself to remember that I choose my reality, and that my awareness would change. I didn’t obsess over it. I wanted it badly, yes, but I didn’t obsess. I woke up here and didn’t freak out. I simply kept up with my affirmations about being a master shifter. Then I got bored with my day and said “fuck it. Let’s shift.” I had no thoughts about failing or even truly shifting, I just said “hmm maybe.” I read Shay’s 3-step post and knew I wanted to wake up there.

Halfway through visualizing I suddenly get lost in the sauce and forget that I’m even visualizing. I’m thinking “I’m in the mirror right now, getting ready because I’m going to Diagon Alley today.” I surrendered to myself and my visualizations and just let it be… as Shay said, I didn’t get stuck on step 2. I welcomed step 3: the surrender and shift. And then all of a sudden I can feel my hair tickling my ear??? And I’m looking at myself in the mirror? I was realllyyyy pretty. Like insanely beautiful. I'm majestic here but in my DR i was like a siren. I freaked the fuck out and shifted back here. It hasn’t even been an hour yet but I still feel it… everything is weird now. I feel hyper aware of things. Like, that place is real. And even after I shifted back, I could still see myself feeling my hair because I was so confused on why I felt it. I was still connected. And I still am, even as I'm writing this. My DR-self is going on with his day as I expect it to go: getting my wand, casting my first spell, meeting a Weasley or two.

My best advice? Get into LOA. Don’t stress over results or shiftblr. Honestly take some time away to trust yourself and just build a healthy relationship with shifting. It doesn’t take long. Just take the time to skip your struggle arc and step into the identity of a master. When you're going into an "attempt", remember that all it is is noticing your other identity. Nothing else. No physical sensations needed. No relaxing needed. No AP or LD or OBE required. A couple affirmations to remind yourself of your goal and settle in the DR is all you need. It may be fun to do other methods, but babes there's no rules here... the whole "trial and error" thing is a struggle arc that you don't have to go through. Just decide that on command shifting is what works for you and boom! In your DR. TRUSTT ME!! Coming from someone that was overly lazy for 5 years and slacked so so so much... YOU CAN DO IT! There's a hot take coming about this btw....

Also, read every post that @shaysplanet has. Literally a life saver! Send any questions in da comments or asks !! I will be answering everythinggg

My post-shift thoughts I

In the wake of a shift, after 3+ years, I don't feel as insane as I thought I would? Nor do I feel as 'complete'? I mean, I no longer have doubts about anything... I shifted (basically) on command, and actually spent time in my DR... however... I barely had that overwhelming rush of excitement? I thought that i'd go batshit the moment i shifted but no it was more of a silent shock like "oh... i'm really here. this place is actually real. they werent lying."

I was moreso concerned about the nature of my surroundings and my face rather than the fact that i shifted realities. It was like I snapped out of a trance, which was my CR, and remembered that i existed in my DR. I don't even know if i'm explaining this correctly, but like.. my CR felt like a really bad dream or someting. I knew it was real but at the same time i was questioning everything because the shift felt so insanely natural that it was almost impossible that what i had experienced for the last 17+ years was real...? Now that i'm back.. my DR feels like how my CR felt in that moment. Ahsksjajak this is so not how i wanted my first shift to go 😭it was just so random and unexpected.. and also it happened during the DAY in less than 5 minutes without any meditation or stuff like that. And straight after i shifted back, i ate mcdonalds and went about my day... as if I didn't just travel the multiverse? Like hello???????

Expect more rants on this . If there are any experienced shifters in the comments i'd love to know how you guys process waking up in your DR and actually being there.

i hope this made sense 😭

CONGRATS ON SHIFTING!! 🎉🎊so exciting. can i ask questions?

How did you shift and how long did it take you

What was it like (physically)

is it ok to permashift . race changing?

sorry if this is too much

ello ellooo 🏇🏽🏇🏽

Thank you sm for the ask 💗 i love getting these!

I shifted through simple means. Command / intention. I laid down in my bed, told myself i would wake up in my DR, and then proceeded with visualizing waking up in my DR. Then, suddenly, I could feel my DR and i was looking at myself in the mirror. It took me over 2-3 years to actually shift.

2. Realer than real. It feels like you jumped into someone else's body, but its yours and your life and everything is natural. (now that ive shifted i can simply say that's just MY experience. not sure how it is for others or if the feeling changes with more experience)

3. Yes to permashifting, meh to racechanging. I plan to permashift myself one day. As for race changing, I just don't see the appeal? Obviously it's your life so do whatever you want, but I just simply don't see why people would want to be any other race than the one they are here. I grew up black and I plan to be black in all my DRs. I'm not sure if i'd call it racist to racechange, bc how can you be racist if you desire to be.. another race?! It only gets racist if you start doing weird shit like racial stereotypes. Yet at the same time i'm also a big gatekeeper so stay your own damn race plz.

Barbie out.
