there is a lot of hate about this method, and although i do understand why thats the case i think you're overdoing it a bit. its the only method that has ever even somewhat worked for me. and its the most understandable for baby shifters.
it requires a lot of meditation and concentration, and it is uncomfortable for a normal person to sleep on their back, but i think thatd what makes it work. putting you in that state of discomfort helps make your subconscious more prone to suggestion.
also, i like how memeable it is.
put on a subliminal, maybe meditate beforehad.
⊹ lay flat on your back— your arms and legs splayed out so they don't touch
⊹ begin to count to 100
⊹ between each number, affirm (i.e 1- i am in my desired reality, 2- my name is ... etc)
⊹ if you reach 100 spend time visualizing using your five senses – feel for a room around you, think about orienting yourself
the raven method is an asleep method, so the intent should be eventually to fall asleep while affirming. l
but do whatever u like. the universe is your oyster.
HELP! WHAT IS REALITY SHIFTING AND HOW IS IT DONE?
Get some popcorn, headphones, kick back and relax as I explain everything you need to know about reality shifting.
Ready? Deep breath. Okay. Let's begin.
Reality shifting is the practice of moving your awareness to another reality that already exists. According to the multiverse concept, every possible version of your life already exists somewhere. The version where you that ate salad for dinner instead of burgers; the version of you who lives overseas; the version of you who lives with a different family.
Shifting is NOT about creating a reality. Instead you are aligning your awareness with the one you want to experience.
Think of it like tuning a radio.
The station already exists. You just change the frequency.
What Reality Shifting Actually Is
Many people confuse shifting with lucid dreaming or imagination. They are not the same. I have experienced both lucid dreaming and shifting.
Lucid dreaming happens inside the dream state. It's a dream. It has dream logic; which is to say: there's no logic.
Reality shifting involves moving your awareness to another fully existing reality. A reality just like this one. Each reality has a set of rules. So, unlike a dream, you can't just do whatever you want.
In practice, the experience often begins similarly to meditation or the early stages of sleep. Your body relaxes. Your mind becomes focused. Then your awareness begins to detach from your current environment.
People often report sensations such as:
• Vibrations or energy moving through the body (one of my biggest symptoms)
• Feeling weightless or heavy (also a big one)
• Hearing sounds or voices from the target reality
• Feeling the environment change around them
These sensations are normal. They are signs your awareness is moving!!
The Core Principle Behind Shifting
Shifting works through assumption and focus.
Your consciousness follows what you consistently assume to be real. When you fully accept that you are already in your desired reality, your awareness begins aligning with it.
Resistance slows this process.
Many beginners block themselves by thinking:
“This probably won’t work.”
“I’m just imagining it.”
Those thoughts anchor you to your current reality.
Instead, treat shifting like a natural ability. Because it is.
Your consciousness moves every night when you dream. Shifting uses the same mechanism, but with intention.
The Raven Method
This is one of the most widely used shifting techniques because it is simple and effective.
Step 1: Get Comfortable
Lie on your back in a comfortable position. Many people do this before sleep because the mind is already relaxed.
Your body should feel loose and still.
Step 2: Clear Your Mind
Close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Slow breaths calm the nervous system and help your mind detach from physical surroundings.
If thoughts appear, let them pass without engaging.
Step 3: Begin Counting
Start counting slowly from 1 to 100.
As you count, repeat affirmations between numbers such as:
• I am shifting.
• I am already in my desired reality.
• My awareness moves easily.
The goal is to keep your mind focused while your body falls deeper into relaxation.
Step 4: Visualize Your Desired Reality
As you count, imagine scenes from your desired reality.
Picture small details:
• the room you wake up in
• the sounds around you
• the feeling of standing there
Treat the scene as real, not as imagination.
You are remembering where you are going, because you are remembering the version of yourself who lives there.
Methods are sets of steps that a person can follow and that can help them shift. The contents of the
se methods vary from simple visualization, to entire shifting routines.
Methods are not mandatory to shift, and it's not necessary to follow one method entirely. Indeed, some people have created their own, while others don't use them at all.
However, many find that methods have advantages that can help them, as it can be difficult to get in the right mindset for shifting. This includes raising vibrations, improving visualization and meditation skills, or simply motivating you to shift.
Methods are mainly divided in awake and asleep methods. In asleep methods, you go to sleep and wake up in your DR, while in awake methods you are always awake and feel your surroundings change as you enter your DR.
Before attempting a method, it can also be useful to meditate, listen to subliminal, or re-read your script.
Common methods
✧ Raven method
Lie down on your back in a starfish position, with your eyes closed, and count from 1 to 100, while saying affirmations ("I am shifting", "I will shift", etc.) after each number. Try to visualize and feel your DR while doing so. When you feel like your surroundings have changed, open your eyes.
✧ Julia method
Get in a comfortable position and repeat the words "I am" until you feel symptoms. When you feel the first symptoms, start counting from 1 to 100, and once you've reached 100 say identity affirmations ("I am __", "I live in__" etc.). Again, when you feel like your surroundings have changed, open your eyes.
✧ Pillow method
Write down your affirmations on a piece of paper and repeat them before bed, then go to sleep with the piece of paper under your pillow, while meditating/saying affirmations.
✧ Sunni method
Get in a comfortable position and visualize a scene in your DR, trying to actually feel like you are there, like fullest possible sensory detail. While you do this, try to persuade yourself you are in your DR (so if you hear sounds, tell yourself they come from your DR). Once you've done this, say shifting affirmations, and open your eyes when you feel like you've shifted.
Of course there's more, many more, but I'm only doing these four for now cause I'm lazy af
so i created this method, and its called ‘smoothie method’ because you mix together everything that you like/is good for you as you would fruits and veggies for a smoothie. so of course this method would be different for everyone.
i personally favour the raven method, alice in wonderland method, and void state method, five senses, give up and sleep. so i would do the following. this may or may not also work for you.
i usually will put on some white/pink/brown noise or theta waves in the background as well as a guided method for the void state (or sometimes get into the void state myself) before doing the following. (tip : if you have a tv in your room you can use that instead of a device, as they usually have an automatic turn off after a time you set. set it to turn off at the time you want it to. or use an app/website/other that has no ads (eg spotify premium, mp3 files, apple music, etc.)
visualize yourself by a tree (use all five senses), visualize a character/person from your dr running by. imagine the feeling you would feel (confusion, intrigue?) visualize yourself getting up and running after this character. then you fall down a rabbit hole (visualize this well enough and you will physically feel like your free falling). you then land in a large circular room with many doors and a table in the centre with a key. look around. which door looks like it would lead to your dr? take the key and open that door. what do you see? what do you smell, hear, feel? visualize very well. step through this door now. the character is there, taking your hand and leading you towards a house/castle/etc in this reality. you find yourself in bed as your dr self now. (alice in wonderland + five senses)
now that your in bed as your dr self, begin the raven method as you normally would. only now you are in your dr. do you feel your sheets? hear your family members of your or in the background? no you dont. its all part of your dr. begin counting, and each 10th number (or 20th, maybe odd numbers, whatever works) state an affirmation. remember to visualize everything as well, this is very important. once you reach a certain point where you begin to feel tired, turn over and give up. continue to think as your dr self. what did you do today? what did you eat? what will you do tomorrow? anything your stressed over? imagine these feelings and thoughts vividly. you are in your dr, so your thoughts will be of your dr. either allow yourself to drift off, or stay awake until you naturally open your eyes (don’t force them, and make sure to script that your eyes open once you’ve shifted if you want) (raven + give up and sleep)
once you have shifted, make sure to ground yourself. use all your senses, don’t get up until you aren’t as overwhelmed/excited as this will sometimes bring you back to your dr (of course this is different for everyone, so you might not need to ground yourself)
if anyone wants specific methods put together just comment and i’ll get to it as soon as i can.
ive posted abt this before a few months ago but it keeps happening so im gonna ramble about it again.
my most consistent shifting symptom or thing that happens when i go to shift, specifically when im in the starfish position (i like starfish for shifting dont come for me) is feeling something on my neck. like something is touching my neck. its not super choke-y, im used to it by now. the first time it happened was like YEARS ago and the other day i went to shift for the first time in a while and i was in starfish and i felt it again. it happens no matter where im shifting. i usually just play it off as like my dr cat coming to bother me bc i always have a cat in my drs. it almost kinda feels like a shirt or like my hair but more intense, like how you would imagine feelings when trying to shift but i actually feel this shit. im curious if anyone else has this symptom or something similar.
Like it’s basic, it’s simple, and it’s an asleep/awake method. A lazy shifters favorite thing.
I’m going to use it tonight and I’m kinda smashing a new method with it called the 50/50 method (which is just affirming that there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll shift during/after your method)
