i’ve been in the shifting community since around 2020, but my whole life i’ve already always been into witchcraft and a strong believer of energy and stuff like that. i also lowkey used to be a really good liar so much so to the point where i would even end up fooling myself— my journey was really just me convincing myself into success LMFAO
encanto dr
one day, actually on the first of april in 2022, literally april fools, little nayomi had just watched encanto for like the fortieth time was like “okay let’s just get this over with tf”
i didn’t have a specific method or anything, but i kinda just figured out what worked for me using my senses because genuinely my ego was so big and i was convinced i either shifted or i crashed out. so i started with my eyes, closed them while i was ON THE LIVING ROOM COUCH MIND YOU— then my hands, i kinda kept them at my chest vampire style bc i’m chill like that
no script or nothing btw.. for the rest of my senses, i really just used my imagination. i could smell fresh bread, grilled cheese, spices. i could hear the sound of the fryer in the kitchen. i can hear the sound of the fryer in the kitchen. i can hear the sound of the fryer in the kitchen…. WAIT I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF THE FRYER IN THE KITCHEN???
my eyes literally shot open, everything i was telling myself i was smelling, i was actually smelling. i was kinda frozen? for a few minutes as i just focused on breathing and not having a meltdown as i laid on a freaking wooden bench that was diggin into my freaking butt bruh
as i lay there with my hands still folded to my chest i kinda just took everything in. there’s chatter outside, there’s bread cooking somewhere in the house, there’s birds chirping, i’m now suddenly in a little pink minidress. and i’m just like oh fuck !!
“¿sigues viva o ya no?”
(you still alive or nah?)
is the first thing anybody says to me in my dr, and i look up and this pretty tan boy with hazel eyes and freckles and a head of curls and— ohhhh my god it’s camilo oh wow he’s speaking to me and he’s so pretty and he sounds so nice i’m gonna throw up
the feeling was like a dream? but not like a dream. you know how in dreams you’re thrown into a random scenario but you don’t feel the need to question everything because you’ve been there the whole time? that’s how it felt. i shifted in— and a huge part of me was in awe, but i was also aware of the fact that we were friends, and i was aware of the fact that i woke up on the bench because i had taken a nap earlier that day after cleaning my parents’ bakeshop
even being aware of all this, my nervous system was genuinely going haywire and.. don’t laugh. i slapped him. 😭
well, my hand didn’t go through him, that’s for sure. the mf stumbled backwards, shape shifting into his mom for a split second, before he kinda just held his cheek and looked at me like this
— was not the ideal way to ground, do not be like me guys !! he basically was like “bitch what the fuck” and one thing i was not expecting was for this ho to be so sassy because tell me why he started cat fighting me like a girl telling me “get your ugly hands off me”, that’s also when i noticed he smelled like magnolias and mint, and his touch was oddly gentle
that went on until his mom actually appeared and gave him a scary ass look that lowkey made the house rumble a bit. that’s when i kinda started to calm down and really just lean into the fact that i’m actually here now and i shifted wow it was that easy who would’ve thought
my ass started walking away to experience the rest of the house and this bitch was following me like “oye! are we NOT gonna talk about how you just bitch slapped me?” and ofc i went “ummm no !!” and he was genuinely just behind me the whole time i was walking around the house telling him i needed some air,
he would tug on my hair slightly whenever he wanted to annoy me or get my attention which was kinda hot…..
it was kind of odd because i knew the house even though part of me has never been here before. like even places they didn’t show at all in the movie, i just knew about. it was just me constantly moving around with such ease and familiarity but also like.. super fascinated?
i made a point to speak to everyone, and tried to like hold their hands or make some conversation
my favorite was isabela, who i caught tending to this massive orange flower in the corner of her room. she looked at me like “hi how are you! don’t step on that, or that, or that, or that.”
i was playing hopscotch at that point in her room because she had like rows and rows of literal TOXIC plants???? i genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if she started growing her own weed in there. but um i got to hug herrr and she was so niceee she was moisturized as fuck dude like clear skin and hair goals and she smelled kinda spicy? like cinnamon and roses
yap yap yap i was in my dr for like a solid 3 days before i shifted back. luisa moved the house over like a few inches while we were inside because isa wanted to make room for more stuff in the front. julieta made some salad at some point during the 2nd day— cilantro and chicken and pineapples with some cucumber??? sounds like a weird combo but trust me it was bomb
i also learned that camilo’s space was like a traditional kind of spanish room but with a bunch of curtains? and racks and racks of clothes and mirrors. think like if you had a fever dream of a fun house / theatre. he always kept the lights off,
he also has a chunky little cactus next to his bed from his cousin that he’s named gordita— basically meaning fatty 💀
anyways when i shifted back i was in the middle of having lunch, and i specifically remember the food i was eating was literally the exact same cilantro and pineapple cucumber salad that i had on day 2 in my dr, which is crazy? but given how the universe works, really not that crazy
this was my first successful shift !! i’ll yap more if ygs are interested; all this to say manifesting and shifting are real as fuck and literally just look within yourself rather than following a bunch of motivational posts and methods and other people telling you what to do :P
