What's shifting? I've only heard a little about it and to me it just sounds like a very lucid dream which kinda confuses me (cause I think I've seen some people get upset about that sorta comparison?) but I'd like to know more!! /gen :3
hiii!!!! i’d be happy to explain!! :D
yeah, shifting (more specifically known as reality shifting) and lucid dreaming are two different things. :) a lot of anti-shifters like to say reality shifters are just lucid dreaming, when in reality (lmao) we are shifting.
reality shifting is shifting your consciousness from this reality into another reality. or another way to explain it is becoming aware of your consciousness in another reality.
so, for many shifters (all i believe, or at least a great majority of us), we believe in the multiverse, which is an infinite amount of realities.
we access those realities through shifting.
and there’s many different ways to shift. you can use methods, intentions, affirmations, and more!!
intentions (or setting them, more like) is like repeating “i will shift when i wake up” in your head or out loud and you INTEND to do so before you go to sleep. (that’s one example of it.)
affirmations are “i am shifting” “i am a master shifter” etc. that you can say while using methods or while trying to shift. (just an example of affirmations.)
methods are all different sorts of things. one that i use is the void state method. where you attempt to enter the void state (a level of consciousness where your physical body is asleep and your consciousness is CONSCIOUS), and then affirm that you are shifting. (this is just an example of a method, but there are loads!)
i think that’s basically it, but if you’re still confused or have any more questions i would be very happy to answer!!! :D
