confronting "negative" emotions when shifting (part 2 of this post)

the information here is the same as part 1, i've just repackaged it to make it more straightforward for shifting. as always take what helps and leave the rest <3

✦•···············•✦•················•✦ feeling emotions wholly ⋆˙⟡

i know firsthand how big and sometimes all-consuming the emotions around shifting can be. it can be hell to feel so separate from the people and places you love so dearly. truly let that despair, frustration, disappointment have a moment. it's okay to feel upset.

fully sit in this emotion, don't try to ignore or gaslight it away. take back your power by lovingly validating even the emotions that scare you the most.

✦•······················•✦•························•✦ react differently ⋆˙⟡

what we're absolutely not going to do is shame ourselves for apparently not shifting. we are not going to spiral about having blocks, or how we'll never be able to do it, or how it seems so easy for everyone else. all this does is SCREAM to our subconscious that we have not shifted and that it's all our fault. assumptions become fact.

the bottom line is it's not your anger or despair that is keeping you from shifting, it's every shame-spiraling thought that comes after. your reaction to the emotion has so much more power than the emotion itself.

✦•················•✦•···············•✦ don't betray who you are ⋆˙⟡

of course, it sucks to not wake up in your DR after being certain it was already done. this is where you must persist in who you truly are.

you are a master shifter, someone who slips between realities all the time, with ease, on a whim. how does that version of you react to waking up here? do some feelings come up? maybe they do! are they feelings that mean you're never shifting? fucking no! tend to these feelings without betraying yourself.

as a master shifter, your core assumption is that you're already there. that it's been done. that you'll go whenever you please. waking up here is only temporary, not a state of emergency.

remind yourself:

⋆˙⟡ i've already shifted, and i'll do it again

⋆˙⟡ i decide what is true about myself

⋆˙⟡ my emotions don't dictate my ability to shift

⋆˙⟡ i know i am a master shifter (ahem, not in the future, not hypothetically, you literally are right now!!!!)

⋆˙⟡ my thesis is feeling like shit about shifting doesn't make u a shit shifter, u just have 2 remember who you are simba <3 ⋆˙⟡

integrating "negative" emotions into your manifestation

manifestation is not a robotic task. feelings you're not a fan of will arise from time to time. here's what you can do with them.

✦•···········•✦•············•✦ feeling emotions wholly ⋆˙⟡

when an emotion arises, let her be felt. let her bask in the spotlight and perform that monologue she's been rehearsing. give her a standing ovation. show her love, even if she's angry. show her compassion, even if she's harsh and berating. show her the acceptance that she craves. sit with her, even if it seems scary.

admit it, shoving it under the rug never does any good anyway.

✦•··········•✦•············•✦ don’t give your power away ⋆˙⟡

let me be clear: sitting with these emotions does not entail letting them whisk you spiraling into the hours of the night.

when you really level with your sadness, anger, annoyance, anxiety, etc., you see it for what it is and nothing more. so-called negative emotions are just a part of what makes life life. it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong when manifesting.

you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. your progress is not lost, your manifestation is still fully yours. no emotions can change that, only you can change that by reacting as if it's already gone.

✦•········•✦•·······•✦ emotions are 3D circumstances ⋆˙⟡

after you've lovingly heard this emotion out, no need to boot her from the premises. she's more than welcome to sit and watch as you remind yourself of your own power and everything you've claimed.

take a moment to remember that emotions are just another way the 3D gives you information. is it telling you that you deserve better? is it pointing out where you're still attached? is it warning you that you've been bottling up?

remind yourself:

⋆˙⟡ i decide who i truly am

⋆˙⟡ all my desires are already mine

⋆˙⟡ nothing the 3D shows me can change my fulfillment

this post got quite long so i'll make a part 2 on how to use this more specifically in your shifting practice <3

i’ll note here that, as with all manifesting advice, please take what helps and leave the rest! i am in no way a mental health professional so please take care of yourselves how you know best, and always reach out to a friend for support when you need it <3

★ am i trying or being? a checkpoint ★

some tells that you’re still trying include waiting, suspecting, checking, spiraling, wondering why it’s not working, scrolling tumblr for the perfect answer. if you’re noticing this state of mind, it’s really no big deal. and it’s not to say you’re not allowed to do these things while you manifest, just that often it’s a symptom that you’ve given up. all you need to do when you’re found trying is realign with the pure consciousness you really are. because the truth is, there’s actually nothing to wait for at all. allow yourself to absorb the fact that everything you’ve ever wanted is literally already yours.

when you’re being (ie manifesting ie shifting), it probably won’t feel like anything is happening at all. since you’ve already manifested everything, there’s nothing left for you to actually do. internalize the fact that you have finally done it. the money has hit your account. your sp wrote you the love letter. you woke up in your dr. you have the dream apartment. remember? it already happened. truly step into what it feels like to live as a limitless manifestor.

the point of this check in is to stop lying to yourself about where you're at. get honest with what you're actually feeling and thinking so you can address it as the pure consciousness that you are. often it's as simple as reminding yourself what's yours. the biggest block for many is the habitual thought that it's not working. so get in the habit of knowing: "i am, so it is."

★ p.s. self-concept helped me with this

for me, when i realized that my self-concept and self-esteem were separate entities everything started clicking. i deal with intense bouts of mental issues and i used to feel like i was back at square one every time i had a bad day. i became a lot more powerful when i realized i could construct a self-concept that didn’t rely on my mental health being pristine. i could remain knowing it was all done even when my brain was telling me nasty stuff like i would never be able to manifest or shift. i knew in my heart that it was already done, so i was able to stop worrying about being perfectly healed.

this helped me to stop feeling the need to check for results, to wait for something to happen, because i was checking in with my solid self-concept instead.

*the idea of self-concept might not be for everyone, you certainly don’t need it to manifest at all, i just like speaking from what helped me the most. i say it in all of my posts but take what resonates and leave the rest!*

how do i know if i'm affirming correctly? why are my affirmations not working?

if you're worried about affirming the "correct" way, it's probably because you're not seeing the results you thought you'd see by now. for shifters, you're wondering why you still haven't opened your eyes in your DR. doing some self-inquiry can help affirmations ring more truthful and get you aligned with your manifestation instantly.

so let's begin. when answering these questions, don't be intimidated by your answers. the end goal isn't to absolve your psyche of all trauma, or become this perfect manifesting being. you just need to level with yourself for a moment. get it on the page and you'll see it's not that deep. i'll add that if introspection isn't your cup of tea, you don't need to do any of this to manifest. it will happen anyway. but if you're an over-thinker to begin with, let's re-align all this noise.

if you find writing things down helpful, i highly recommend putting pen to paper and writing down the first thing that comes to mind with these. even if your first thought is untrue, it can be useful to see what the ego has been feeding you.

why am i so willing to accept failure?

why is it easy to affirm but impossible to get results?

what do i really think is true about my manifesting/shifting abilities?

what is my ego trying to protect me from?

what's keeping me from occupying the state of a limitless shifter?

hopefully these reveal some underlying assumptions you weren't aware of. now that you can see them clearly, we're not claiming them anymore. these are just thoughts we used to have. the ego might show them to us again, but we don't need to take them so seriously anymore. they're merely ideas we used to entertain before accepting that we are limitless shifters. we get to decide what our truth is.

next time you affirm, start by reminding yourself that these assumptions are no longer yours. affirm from a place of power, as truly limitless shifters do. <3

⋆˙⟡ the only way to receive your manifestation is to give it to yourself⋆˙⟡

hashtag not clickbait. the reason this is true is what you actually want is not the physical object but the feeling that you have it. this works because we experience all of reality through the meanings we've attached to external stimuli.

for example, say i'm manifesting that i'll see 555 today. i happen to look at the clock at exactly the right time, bam manifestation complete. the external stimuli i saw meant that my manifestation was a success, so then i feel accomplished and my faith in myself is boosted.

the thing is, the clock was not the source of my gratification at all. it was all me. because without my awareness there is no process of manifestation at all. i could have just as easily looked at the clock and written it off as a coincidence, claim it doesn't count, and bam the second i decide my manifestation wasn't completed that becomes my reality.

the part of manifestation that causes the appearance of success is the part where you say: hey i did it! that's it. nothing else can trigger that but you.

✦•···········•✦•············•✦

so you might be saying okay but i actually do want the thing i've been craving dammit! and i would say take a serious moment with yourself to remember who you are. don't let your senses make you think they are the sole source of truth. you are the source of the manifestation and nothing on the outside can take that away from you. if you say you don't have it that will be your experience, so practice what it's like to have it already. not in a way where you're playing pretend, but because you know that it's true!

i'm not being hypothetical when i say you already have every single thing you've even considered manifesting. let the weight of that hit you. surrender and receive.

do yourself a favor, cut out the waiting you think you're obligated to do and give it to yourself now! you deserve it all anyway.

ideas for affirming a little more...truthfully!

***note: you don’t need affirmations to shift or manifest!!!this is just what i’ve found helpful for shifting states. as always, take what helps and leave the rest.***

1. write your own affirmations! it sounds simple but putting things in your own words works wonders. be as specific as possible. i like to do this after a journaling session when my head’s clear.

2. when reciting affirmations, weave them into things that already feel true. things you don’t question, things you think of every day. this is to help shift how you feel about the affirmation. it’s just another truth at the end of the day.

ex: “i love my cat,” “i’m wearing my favorite shoes,” “all my desires are already mine,” “i live on the sixth floor,” “i’m tired today.”

3. meditate in your truth. take five minutes, close your eyes, and allow yourself to steep in the feeling that your affirmation is completely true in this moment. let that relief wash over you, feel the satisfaction in your chest. allow for gratitude and excitement, you did it.

4. cast a spell. this one requires a little theatrics. take your favorite affirmation, the one that reminds you of all that is yours, and recite it as slowly. as. possible. imagine you are literally casting a spell and each word brings more and more power. feel the energy and magic of each word. allow yourself to enjoy every syllable. dare i say have a little fun.
