If you're still 'wanting", you haven't decided. You're desiring.
That's not embodying "I AM".
"I AM" says I am here. I have always been here, in every reality all at once.
You were not put here to hope and wait. That is not what "I AM" means.
You were put here to pick the version of you that you deserve. The version that already exists.
Your soul aches for more. That's why the universe led you to discovering shifting. That's what led you to this post.
You were meant to shift. Why?
Because it was never your destiny to stay in one place.
Some people stay in one place, and that's okay. But that's not you.
You were built to move. To explore. You have touched the stars. You have walked on the moon. You've climbed the floating mountains of Pandora. You have swam with mermaids, dined with elven nobility, and charged beside knights.
You’ve done it all before, and you’ll do it again because that’s who you are.
There's no point in waiting because you're already there.
you mentioned that you use different methods to shift. Which ones are your favorites? Also, if you shift through Lucid Dreams, what's something you could recommend to focus on or pay attention to while shifting from a dream. Basically a step by step you recommend. I think I finally figured out that LD could be the method that works best for me. I've had minimal success but it's the most success I've had aside from WBTB and being in a hypnogogic/sleep paralysis state.
Thank you for your time 🌞
Fantastic question. And you picked a great method. Out of everything I’ve tried, lucid dreaming is hands down my favorite and the most reliable. I switch up methods depending on what I want, sure, but LD is the one I prefer. I shifted for the first time through an LD, so I am a bit biased towards it.
With lucid dreams you’re tapping into a hypnagogic state, where your subconscious is already primed for momentum. This is where it's most malleable and suggestible.
Here's a lil' step-by-step routine to get you started:
1. Set your intention before bed. Write one short line: “Tonight, I will lucid dream and shift to my [DR name].” Keep it specific. Repeat it aloud twice, then visualize the scene for 60 seconds. If you have aphantasia—don't fret! :) Focus on the "feeling" of your DR instead. That's often more powerful anyway.
2. Do a focused reality check throughout the day. Finger-through-palm, nose-pinch, or reading text. Do these randomly. Set a timer to go off 5-10x a day on your phone. This trains your subconscious to check whether you're dreaming or not.
Then when you're actually dreaming, you’ll do the same check. And the moment your finger slips through your palm or the text looks jumbled, you’ll instantly become lucid.
I hope this makes sense?! If it doesn't, just lmk. I could talk all day and night about this if you'd let me. I'm trying not to ramble. :)
3. Use WBTB. WBTB isn't required but it gives you the highest chance of success. Most of my successful shifts are because of WBTB.
Don't overdo WBTB though! Once or twice a week is enough (we don't want your sleep sched getting messed up!).
WBTB summarized:
Sleep 4.5–5 hours.
Wake up for 10–15 minutes.
Don't use your phone if you can help it. Maybe read a book or use the bathroom. Or just lie there affirming (that's what I do lol).
After time's up: lie down, close your eyes, and repeat:
"Mind awake. Body asleep."
You want your body to fall into a vibrational state, while your mind is fully awake and aware.
You might not nail this the first time. You might fall asleep instead. That's okay. Have confidence, be consistent, and try again another time. Results will come with practice.
4. If this is is successful, you might experience sleep paralysis. This can manifest as full-body paralysis and vibrations. That's normal. Don't fight it. Just ride the sensation and hold onto your confidence. "Sleep paralysis demons" are a manifestation of fear caused by the paralysis itself.
Once I started affirming I was safe (which I am—and so are you) then I stopped seeing "demons". Haven't seen them in years.
Relax, breathe slowly. Think about your DR and affirm your journey. Sometimes you'll shift straight from this state. If not, move onto the next step.
5. Once you’re lucid, stabilize the dream. This is critical. The first few seconds decide everything.
Ground yourself by:
– rubbing your hands together
– touching something
– saying “I’m here. I’m lucid.”
The more you ground yourself, the harder the dream locks in. Also, do not get too excited! Strong emotions will make you wake up.
6. Stable now? Great! That was the hardest part. Now you can pick any transition method you want:
– Walk through a door you expect to lead to your DR
– Spin once and imagine the scene changing around you
– Call out the destination and turn around
Whatever you choose, keep your mind focused. Don’t overthink the mechanics. Personally? I imagine a portal opens behind me, then I'll turn around and walk right through it.
7. Aaaaand you're there! <3
Okay. There might be some caveats. I want be as transparent as possible:
Speaking from experience, even if I do everything correct, even after shifting and knowing its real, sometimes it doesn't work.
At any point, you could:
- Walk through the portal and wake up here (your CR)
- "Shift" realities only to realize it was a dream
- Forget your intention and fall asleep
And that's okay. I was discouraged when these things happened, but I held onto my belief and tried again and again until I finally did it. Lucid dreaming's not as difficult as people make it out to be—but it's not easy either. Just practice, practice, practice!
The 3D is old news. Old footage. A rerun. Last night's broadcast.
Your real power is in the awareness behind your thoughts.
That's the part of you that exists in every timeline, every version, every outcome.
When you decide who you are in the 4D, the body and the world adjust. Not the other way around.
You don’t have to micromanage the universe for it to show up for you.
The moment you decide something is yours, life starts rearranging itself behind the scenes. You don’t have to check, prod, force, or hover over the process. Your job is choosing.
The rest unfolds on its own.
You don’t run after what you already are.
Awareness doesn’t chase. It chooses.
The version of you that has everything is reality. Stop begging for what you already have.
Relax. Don't stress anymore.
Let the 3D catch up.
That’s it.
When you stop trying to force outcomes and just let reality meet your certainty, everything falls into place effortlessly.
Desperation only accelerates bad results.
If you desire good things in life, then you must manifest from a place of trust; not desperation.
Once, I manifested every single day.
I wrote affirmations hundreds of times in my journal. I listened to subliminals on my way to work every single morning. I whispered my affirmations as I fell asleep. I visualized until my brain hurt.
What was my intention? To win the lottery.
Ambitious, I know.
And you know what? After all that effort, I'm still not a millionaire.
In fact, I lost my job. I lost my home. I was more desperate than ever.
So I gave up.
I gave up on shifting and tried to play the game of real life like everyone else. I was miserable, but alive.
Then, little by little, I started manifesting...
$500 here, $800 there...
Once, $1k in a day. With hardly any effort on my part. Just doing what I normally do.
I don't manifest money everyday, of course. I can't be on top of my game every waking moment.
But, once I let go and manifested from a place of trust, everything clicked into place.
It was like magic.
I hope you can experience that too.
