the method ⎯
meditate – although this step is entirely optional, I find it easier to shift / fall asleep when I meditate beforehand. most people choose to listen to 6Hz theta waves or other subliminals during this.
lay down – originally, laying down in the starfish position (where your limbs are as far from each other as possible) was considered a "requirement". this is misinformation. many shifters have found that they shift faster when they lay in a comfortable position and allow themselves to move. for me personally, I get the most symptoms when I lay flat on my back, with my limbs close together but not touching, and don't move. experiment and see what works best for you!
count to 100. I prefer to count on inhales only (inhale 1, exhale, inhale 2, exhale). you can affirm that you are shifting in between each number or in increments.
after you reach 100, affirm that you have shifted to your desired reality. many have found that I am affirmations are most effective for them. if you'd like, you could also visualize, but it is not required.
if you have not fallen asleep or fully shifted yet, you can either restart your counting or affirm until you fall asleep or fully shift. I find that it is easier for me to fall asleep while counting.
note ⎯
it's okay if you lose your train of thought. it's natural to as you get closer to falling asleep. simply refocus your attention on shifting and your desired reality.
