how to finally shift: a guide

warning: this post contains tough love, strong language, and AFAA spoilers(sorry). this post was NOT proofread, so proceed with caution.

first and foremost, people overcomplicate shifting entirely too much. shifting is as easy as you allow it to be. the only one who can help you shift is yourself.

see, i’m a huge nerd when it comes to the avatar franchise. i’m absolutely gonna take any opportunity i get to talk about these movies. so get ready for me to turn the mangkwan’s misinterpretation of eywa into an allegory for shifters misunderstanding the concept of shifting.

the mangkwan clan lost faith in eywa once their forest burned down and their prayers went unanswered. they believed that those prayers fell on deaf ears. however, when we look back to dr.augustine’s research in the first movie, we can better understand why that’s simply not true. dr. grace augustine notes that the plants of pandora are interconnected and an intelligent network acting like a biological neural network! fancy words for a planetary brain. augustine found that the plants communicate electrochemically via their roots, which form a neural map for the ecosystem as a whole. seeing as everything on this planet is connected, and they communicate via the roots (much like kiri killing the mangkwan guys after connecting her kuru with the roots, or saving spider after asking the roots for help) we now know that the same roots that were burned when the fire took over the mangkwan’s village. their prayers were not ignored, they weren’t heard in the first place. this misunderstanding created a huge disconnect. anyways now that i’ve yapped everyone’s ears off, i think this can be used as an allegory for people misunderstanding shifting as a concept.

people who have been unsuccessful this far are simply misunderstanding what shifting is. and i am here to hopefully help fix that! the whole reason i made this blog was to share my thoughts and experiences in the hopes that it helps others.

if you have made it this far, i applaud you. however, this post is not for everyone. it especially will not help people who are stuck in a victim mindset.

“i can’t shift! it’s been years. i’ve tried everything. it doesn’t work for me.” this is the reason why it hasn’t worked for you. your mindset is awful. if 13 year olds could shift in 2020 bc they wanted to crack draco malfoy then why the fuck do you think that you of all people can’t do it.

let’s break things down and simplify to hopefully help you in this journey!

1.) what is shifting?

shifting is the process of moving one’s awareness from one reality to another.

this may seem intimidating. but we need to remember that 1.) there are infinite realities and 2.) that you are simply consciousness. you are an observer of this reality. you are not this physical body, you are not your thoughts or brain. you are awareness in a vessel.

now you may be wondering how this works. we can actually explain this with science. cognitive science confirms that thoughts shape reality by influencing perceptions, behaviors, and outcomes. cough cough MANIFESTATION. the only thing now is how to actually do it.

2.) how to shift

the secret to shifting is…

nothing. there you go.

this may seem underwhelming. that is because for our entire lives, we are taught that in order to achieve anything, that we need to put work in. however when it comes to shifting you need to do the opposite.

align with your dr self and then shift. stop waiting for your surroundings to change, stop reacting to the 3d. it doesn’t matter if there’s noise outside, or a pet being rambunctious. let go of this reality because it has absolutely nothing to do with your dr.

if it helps, pretend those noises are coming from your dr. life here goes on regardless of whether you shift or not. release any ties to this reality and embody your dr self.

there’s a multitude of ways to try and simplify the process further but here’s a few i like to use:

meditate, intend, pretend

relax, let go, become

now what the heck are you still doing here? GO SHIFT!

Switching ties| Mattheo Riddle

summary: It happened with two ties, one red and gold and the other green and silver. It only took one mistake for all of Hogwarts to find out.

pairing: Mattheo Riddle x Gryff!fem!reader

an: i got inspired by one of the 2020 dracotok trend, im sure y’all remember

The door creaked open and in strolled Mattheo Riddle, late as usual. He doesn’t bother to apologise, he just carelessly strode towards his place.

"As usual, Mr. Riddle, when you come in late I would—"

Professor McGonagall stopped mid-word.

The entire classroom fell silent.

Mattheo frowned. Glares, sure. A lecture, obviously. But this? Theodore was staring like he’d seen a ghost. Enzo and Blaise both wore half-hidden smirks, jaws slack with amusement. But the worse was Draco. He looked like he might actually combust, the scowl on his face twisted deep enough to carve stone.

Mattheo muttered, "What?"under his breath.

Then he saw it.


The red-and-gold tie draped loose around his neck. Not his. Yours.

He huffed a breath and before he could properly process what was happening, the door opened again.

You rushed in, a little breathless, freezing instantly when every pair of eyes snapped to you. Gasps rippled across the room. Enzo outright snickered now, Blaise bit down on a laugh. Draco’s disgust was loud enough to fill the silence.

"This is unbelievable." he muttered.

"Bloody hell." Ron breathed.

Confusion rolled thick. Sure, you weren’t normally late, you were actually one of the best students. But this reaction? It didn’t make sense. Until your eyes landed on Mattheo.

Your tie. On. His. Neck.

The world narrowed. For a second, neither of you moved. The silence was suffocating. Then, wordlessly, you crossed the room. He tugged the tie free at the same moment you reached for it, a lazy smirk flickering at his lips. No explanations. No excuses. Just a quick, fumbling swap. His Slytherin green for your Gryffindor red.

You knotted yours back in place, he draped his loosely over his collar, and without another glance, you both retreated to your seats.

The silence lingered like smoke. Professor McGonagall finally shook her head in disappointment and forced the lesson on, but the air buzzed with whispers and suspicion, the entire class trying to process what they’d just witnessed.

"Nice move you pulled out there." Blaise was the first to bring up the subject at dinner, smirk tugging at his lips as he demolished his plate of food.

"A total disgrace." Draco snapped, cutting across him. His voice was sharp enough to slice. "If you want to… slum it with Gryffindors, that’s your business. But walking in there draped in their colours?" His lip curled. "That’s pathetic. A disgrace to Slytherin."

Mattheo’s jaw tightened. He didn’t bite immediately. He let the silence draw out, gaze steady on his cousin until the air felt heavy. Then his voice cut through.

"Don’t talk about her like that."

Draco’s eyes narrowed. "I wasn’t talking about her, I was talking about you. Do you even realize how that looked?"

Mattheo leaned back, his facial expression softening slightly.

"Yeah. I do." A smirk curled at his mouth. "Looked like I just stumbled in after a long night with my girlfriend."

Blaise and Enzo burst into laughter, half the table gasped, and even a few Gryffindors craned their necks to see what the commotion was.

Mattheo just raised his goblet, utterly unbothered, like he, THE Mattheo Riddle, heir of Slytherin hadn’t just admitted to be dating a Gryffindor. Much to Draco’s pure horror

"It’s not that deep Malfoy."

Draco could’ve nearly had a syncope hearing these words.
