This guide is for anyone who wants a more organized way to create albums. It took me a long time to figure out a system that works for me, so I wanted to share it in case it helps someone else.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Before anything else, for me, it's super important to have my storyline scripted or clear so I know what's happening in my life at that moment.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ I think more in terms of eras than albums, first, for example, what happened between 2020 and 2022, what was happening in my life at that moment (I know that's kind of obvious, but whatever)
e.g.: when I fell in love, when I ended a relationship and lost myself, when I started to come back to myself
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
1. phrase that defines the era
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Something that helps me a lot is writing a sentence that describes the era
e.g. "There is still sadness, but I'm trying to make a new beginning."
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ If I hear a song that fits this description, It goes straight to the draft.
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
2. draft
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ I listen to songs by some artists I like (or I also get inspiration from other shifters) paying close attention to the lyrics
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ I put all the songs that make me feel like they belong in and put them in a draft playlist.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Don't think about the tracklist, genres, or anything else that might bother you; this is just a brainstorming session. (It doesn't matter if there are 45 songs either)
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
3. classification
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Now comes the important part. In a notebook or the notes app, I make 5 classifications:
A. ESSENTIAL: Those that are very important, that perfectly describe that phrase or some situation that happened in that era
B. GOOD: Those that are very good but not key to the era.
C. DELUXE: Songs that don’t feel essential for this era but could work for a deluxe version or a future project.
D. DISCARDED: They're no good for this era (but keep them somewhere just in case).
E. LIMBO: I don't know where they're going yet (I know it looks strange but I had to create this classification for a reason).
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Something that helps me is listening to all the songs and paying attention to the lyrics and telling myself why each song should go in each category.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ This is just to give you an idea; obviously, you can experiment with this and see what works best.
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
4. first work with those in classification A
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Listen to all the songs in that category and if you feel it's missing something, just add some from category B.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ You can add the remaining ones in deluxe or discard them.
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
5. order them
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Listen to how they sound together.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Notice which letters connect with others.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Spotify and Apple Music have a transition function, see which songs sound good when transitioned together.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ (advice a girl gave me on TikTok) Focus on the titles, if the title song is really long, you'd put a similar lengh next to it, or put the short ones next to the short ones and make it look like a wave, its very satisfying to see.
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Depending on what you want to express, you can listen to which songs have a more cheerful vibe and others that are sadder. You can make the album start with this happy vibe and slowly get sadder, or vice versa.
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
6. check if anything is missing
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Leave the album there, and come back in a day or two to clear your head, if you feel something is missing, add it, Just two or three songs, don't change the whole album
━━━━━━━ ⊹ ━━━━━━━
7. the moment when everything takes shape
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ It depends on the album I made; I go to Pinterest and start looking for album aesthetics and put them on a board (if you already had inspiration from another album it's easier).
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ I choose the album name !!
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ I make the album cover and back cover (I use hypic and canva to make them)
𝜗𝜚˚⋆ Then obviously there are other things like choosing the single and stuff like that, but that's up to each person.
that's it! I hope this is clear for all those people who have doubts, this might seem like a detailed process, but I’m a perfectionist and clutter overwhelms me, so this system has made everything much easier.
DISCLAIMER: everything that we will explain is based on our opinions, we are not stating that any of these things are facts. You can take what you resonate with and leave the rest. Also, we will explain reality shifting based off of the multiverse theory.
Welcome to our collab post, where we will be talking about how to use the law of assumption to reality shift for our fellow reality shifters who want to apply the law of assumption in their shifts! Let’s start off with basic definitions. The law of assumption is a form of manifestation where your assumptions and dominant thoughts harden into reality. It is important to note that you don’t need to believe or feel a certain way to manifest, all you need to do is persist in the assumption that you already have your manifestations no matter what. Reality shifting is simply moving your awareness (or consciousness, whichever you believe) to another reality, if you believe in the multiverse theory. Nothing is impossible so you can even shift to “fictional” realities like anime, Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc because with the multiverse theory nothing is impossible and other realities are just as real as ours. Our reality is just one of many and what’s considered fiction here can be a fully realized reality somewhere else.
We’re going to start off with some basic terms and definitions to ensure everyone understands the post fully. Assumption: a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. Self Concept: how you think and view yourself, other people, other people in relation to you, and the world. Persistence: firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition (aka continuing to do something even if it’s difficult). Intention: a thing intended, an aim or plan. Methods: a procedure, technique, or way of doing something.
And now some shifting definitions! DR- Desired/Dream Reality, WR- Waiting Room, CR- Current Reality, OR- Old/Original Reality, Methods- a process done to shift, Safe Word/Action- A word/phrase that you say or an action that you do that shifts you somewhere else, most often used to shift back to your CR or WR.
Law of Assumption
In order to apply the law of assumption to shifting, you should have a basic understanding of what it is and how it works. We already explained this a little just above! The law of assumption simply states that whatever you assume to be true must be true. That’s pretty much it! Your dominant thoughts create your reality. Grass is green because you assume it is. If you were to assume grass is pink instead, eventually, you would see pink grass. People use the law of assumption to manifest their ideal lives every day!
Now that you know the absolute basic definition of the law, here are some things to take note of:
The 4D (fourth dimension), in the world of manifesting, is composed of your thoughts, assumptions, imagination, dreams, and beliefs. The 3D is the physical world in which you experience things through the five senses. Both of these dimensions are just as real as the other and are a lot more connected than people tend to think.
Your 3D (the physical realm) reflects your 4D. So just like the grass example above, where we made grass pink simply by thinking it is, your 3D reflects your 4D. This is what we mean when we say “your thoughts create your reality”.
Persistence does wonders (we’ll talk about this further in the post)!
Manifesting with the law of assumption in the 3D can be instant if you assume it so. Remember, what you assume to be true will be true. So if you assume that manifesting takes time, then it will for you. But if you assume that it’s instant, or that it happens within 48 hours, or whatever, and persist in that assumption, then that will be true for you instead.
Assumptions = thoughts. Don’t overcomplicate what an assumption is. An assumption is literally just a thought you think to be true with no proof of it being so. That’s it. To assume something, you just need to have a thought about it. So, “manifesting is easy”, is an assumption. Just like “manifesting is hard” is also an assumption. (hint: always assume manifesting is easy)
You don’t need to believe in your assumptions for them to manifest. Again, we’ll go over this further down!
Your desires already exist. If they exist in the 4D, if they exist in your imagination, then they exist right now because time isn’t real in the 4D. Full stop. Imagination creates your reality. Creation is finished, it is done. Regardless of whether or not you believe in your assumptions aside, try to always remember that your desires already exist and already belong to you. When you manifest your desires, you’re never manifesting from a state of lack because you never lack what you already have, you’re simply reminding yourself that you already have your desires right now.
How They’re Both Related
The Law of Assumption and reality shifting are both related in that every time you manifest a desire with the law of assumption, you simply shift to a reality where you already have said desire, no matter how “large” or “small” the desire is. Also, we are constantly shifting-with every single decision no matter how “big” or “small” that we make, and every manifestation that we desire -we shift to another reality where we made that decision. There's another reality where we made a different decision or manifested something completely different. With the multiverse theory, there are an infinite number of realities with an infinite number of possibilities. ANYTHING is possible; there’s no such thing as impossible in the multiverse! In regards to the belief that the 3D is malleable in this reality and that it isn’t necessary to shift when you manifest, that is also completely possible. Everything that you can imagine and desire already exists in the 4D because time isn’t real, ultimately you decide whether you want to change your current reality to fit your desires or you shift to another reality in the 3D.
As Gods, you create your own rules/reality in the entire Multiverse, and you can even define your laws of physics. Our *personal* belief is that within one reality, there are many different “layers” of other mini realities that are malleable and very similar with only slight differences, like a branch of trees that all stem from one reality at the root. This is how you can manipulate the 3D reality you reside in without shifting. Let’s remember all the crazy things Neville Goddard himself was able to do-such as time travel to the past, be in two places at once, and even revise a person back from the dead! He may very well have manipulated the 3D reality to fit his desires, or he shifted to those specific realities where those things are possible! Who’s to say how he was able to do those things? The answer could be different depending on your perspective, and both are completely correct and valid.
Loa Self concept + Shifting Self Concept - Why It’s Important and How To Reach It
Almost everyone in the Law of Assumption community knows the importance of having a good self concept, but let’s take a quick recap as to what that entails and the benefits of having a good self concept. While it isn’t necessary to have a good self concept to manifest or to shift, there are a lot of benefits to having one and you won’t regret prioritizing your self concept. When you have a good self concept with the law of assumption you stop having doubts and limiting beliefs, you always manifest instantly and effortlessly, time doesn’t bother you, the 3D doesn’t bother you, everyone treats you well, you live a perfect life, and you no longer have a victim mindset. In regards to reality shifting, having a good self concept can help with how you view reality shifting as a whole, and how you reality shift yourself. If you work on your self concept, you’ll start to see reality shifting as easy and effortless, and that NOTHING can stop you from shifting-not even your own doubts or fears. Also, you don’t need to do a million things or fancy methods to shift, all you need is the intention to shift and yourself!
Reality shifting is supposed to be that easy and effortless, if you intend it you can even blink and be at your desired reality! In order to work on your self concept with reality shifting, you must affirm and persist no matter what that you already have a good self concept. You can affirm:
I am a master at reality shifting
Reality shifting is easy and effortless for me
Nothing stops me from shifting
I am always reality shifting no matter what
I always wake up in my desired reality no matter what
Every time I blink I reality shift to my desired reality
Reality shifting is easier than blinking
I always reality shift instantly no matter what
I am the best and most powerful reality shifter in the entire multiverse
I can shift whenever I desire
I can shift anywhere on command
I can shift at any time of the day
How to Apply the Law of Assumption To Shifting
The belief in the law of assumption and shifting is very similar! A person can choose what kind of life they live just with their thoughts - which one am I describing here? It could be either one! With this in mind, you can absolutely use the law to your advantage to help with your shifting journey and vice versa. For now, we’ll focus on how to apply the law to shifting.
The law of assumption can easily be summed up with, “what you assume must be true for your reality”. While there are other facets of the law, this is the most basic belief and the only one you really need to know. Knowing that you can change your entire world with just your assumptions is powerful! But how do we apply that to shifting? Very easily actually!
It’s all about your thoughts. Your assumptions. What do you believe about shifting? Do you think it’s hard? That it’ll just be inherently hard for some people, regardless of what they do? Do you think it takes a lot of time and practice to accomplish? Do you think some realities are just impossible to shift to, that they don’t even exist maybe? All of your answers to these questions are assumptions. I mean this with the utmost respect, but you have absolutely no proof for them. So, if you have to choose between thinking “shifting is hard” or “shifting is easy” with no proof for either one, which one do you think would benefit you more? Obviously, “shifting is easy”. And why is that? Because your thoughts create your reality. By telling yourself “shifting is easy”, that assumption has to become true in your reality, regardless of what anyone else says.
Now I know you may not immediately believe that shifting is easy and that’s okay. But if you regularly tell yourself things like “shifting is hard. I can’t shift. I probably won’t shift like usual”, then pay attention to that. Your thoughts about shifting are important, so always choose the kinder one. Instead of saying, “shifting is too hard for me”, try saying, “shifting is always easy for me” or anything with that energy in mind. Persist in these “easy” assumptions until they harden into fact! Throw away the belief that you can’t shift and focus your energy on being able to! I know it can be hard to just change how you think about things, so let’s move on to our next section.
Mental Diet In Shifting
What exactly is a “mental diet” and how can it be helpful? A mental diet is when a person actively checks their thoughts and makes sure they align with what they actually want to think. This can be “flipping” anxious thoughts, affirming positive ones, and just generally making sure that what they’re telling themselves aligns with what they want. You wouldn’t tell yourself you’re dumb if you’re manifesting good grades, right? People often deal with doubts, anxiety, and other “negative” thoughts when manifesting/shifting. Now, it’s important to note that you absolutely can still manifest and shift even with these kinds of thoughts. You don’t need to get rid of them or go on a mental diet. People go on mental diets because these thoughts can be annoying and frustrating to deal with, not because it’s necessary.
Now that we know what a mental diet is, how do we do it? This will be different for everyone! Here are some suggestions for what you can do during a mental diet: flipping undesirable thoughts (ex: “no one likes me” to “everyone likes me”), affirming things that do align with your desires, reassuring yourself when you have doubts/worries, assume/affirm that you don’t have negative thoughts and/or that they don’t bother you, and practice talking to yourself with love and respect. These are just a few things that could help you! Don’t be afraid to take the time to figure out what works for you. Remember, you don’t need to go on a mental diet, but it can help your self concept a lot, and if you find yourself having any sort of trouble with manifesting/shifting, try to see if your thoughts actually align with your desires. If you’re constantly telling yourself you “can’t” shift, that could be a reason for your troubles.
So, ask yourself, what do you think about shifting? How do you want to think about shifting? A mental diet doesn’t have to be an exhausting, stressful event. Ideally, it shouldn’t be. Be aware of your thoughts and how you view shifting and yourself. That’s it. You choose how your mental diet goes. You choose your thoughts. You choose everything! Don’t think of a mental diet as a scary, long-lasting thing that you need to do. Instead, view it as a helpful tool for when you want to change your thoughts. That’s all it is!
As a side note, I would highly recommend assuming/affirming that these doubts, worries, and other negative thoughts do not affect your manifestation/shifting journey. Just assume that these thoughts don’t do anything! This is another way to go on a mental diet. Assume that undesirable thoughts have no power over you.
Dealing With Doubts and Other Negative Emotions and Thoughts
The first thing we want to normalise is that it is okay to have doubts, fears, and other negative emotions and thoughts when it comes to shifting. A lot of people in the shifting community are trying to enforce toxic positivity and repress those feelings and thoughts with the belief that if you have those negative thoughts and feelings, you can’t shift. That is completely false, no matter what you feel and think you can always reality shift. There have been people who didn’t believe in shifting or that they could even do it, and they still reality shifted. The only reason why people haven’t shifted is because they have limited themselves from shifting with those kinds of beliefs. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from shifting except yourself. As long as you assume that nothing, no matter what you feel and think, can stop you from shifting then nothing will stop you from shifting. You can create that assumption by working on your self concept as stated above and having a mental diet. When you affirm that you are a master shifter, you are stating that you can shift whenever and wherever you want to no matter what you think or feel because nothing except yourself can stop you from shifting. Your feelings and thoughts are always completely valid-it’s okay to have doubts because after all since we were born we have been programmed to believe that these things are impossible. However, don’t let these feelings and thoughts overpower you and get in your way of shifting because you are completely limitless and at the end of the day you decide when to shift.
Persistence
Let’s talk about how persistence is important when it comes to reality shifting. Neville Goddard once said, “An assumption, though false, if persisted in, will harden into fact.” Persistence is simply insisting in your affirmations/visualisations that you are already in your DR, or that you are shifting to your DR. Persistence is very important because your dominant thoughts always create your reality no matter what. For example, you do not need to believe your assumptions about shifting being easy at first. As long as you keep repeating that assumption in your mind as a dominant thought it has to conform to the 3D no matter what you think or feel! That is how the law works.
You have to remember that in another reality currently, you are already experiencing your DR because your consciousness is infinite in the entire multiverse. Your subconscious knows everything, so it will know the DR you want to shift to. When you shift you are simply moving your awareness to another reality but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t experiencing your DR right now. After all, everything that could possibly happen is already happening in the 4D, you already are in your DR in the 4D right now. All you must do is change your 4D reality so that your 3D reality can reflect it instantly by persisting. In order to persist, you must affirm or visualise yourself in your DR, or going to your DR. So think to yourself and REPEAT no matter what: “I am already in my DR right now,” “I am waking up in my DR,” or “I am going to my DR today/tonight.” You must persist that no matter what you choose to do to go to your DR, whether that be meditating, setting an intention, or waking up there, you WILL shift or wake up in your DR no matter what.
If you find yourself wavering and reacting to the 3D, which shows your CR, simply contradict those intrusive thoughts and feelings by saying that you already are in your DR currently or that you are going to wake up or going to your DR regardless of what the 3D shows you. REPETITION AND CONSISTENCY ARE KEY WHEN YOU AFFIRM OR VISUALISE, I CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! Remember that you can literally blink and be in your DR at any moment in your waking day as you keep persisting. Never give up on persisting, because anything can change at any moment and you can shift when you least expect it. People have shifted with their eyes open and even by accident in the middle of the day by persisting and not giving up that they are in their DR, or that they are inevitably going to their DR no matter what!
Setting the Intention
We mentioned that all you need to shift is intention. And it’s true! All you need is intention. But what does that mean? And how do we do it?
Well, it’s pretty simple! By definition, intention means, “a thing intended; an aim or plan”. To “set the intention to shift” all you actually need to do is think to yourself, “I’m going to shift/I’ve shifted”. That can be at night, during the day, in the shower, even at school! Where you shift, when you shift, how you shift, none of that really matters. What does matter is the intention. Simply thinking about when you want to shift is an intention.
I know it seems a little too easy. All you have to do is think about shifting and that’s it? Just that will shift you? Trust me, I know it sounds too easy, but that’s because it is. The belief of shifting has been around for hundreds of years. There are stories about shifting that literally date back centuries and even just a couple of decades ago. In fact, most of those really old stories go something like this, “meditate and focus and boom. You shifted.” The act of shifting is not hard. It’s not complicated. You’ve been told that it’s hard, unnatural, that you have to learn how to do it and use all your energy in doing methods to shift. But that’s just not true. You just need to want to shift. The simple goal of shifting is an intention!
Everyone says this but it’s true; don’t overcomplicate this. Even if shifting was hard (which it isn’t), the knowledge of the law adds an entirely new layer to it. You’re literally the creator. You choose your life! You dictate your reality! However you want to say it, that’s how it is. Assume that shifting is easy, know that you can shift whenever and however you want no matter what you think or feel, and recognize just how powerful you are.
So take a deep breath, make the decision to shift, and let go. Let go of all those doubts and worries. Don’t focus so much on the how and just let yourself shift. Set the intention and boom! You’ve shifted.
You are the Creator
I hope by now the message that all you need to shift is you has really gotten across. All you need is intention! Things like methods can be fun, but they aren’t necessary. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that any specific thing is necessary for shifting. All you “need” is the intention to shift! Remember, you are the creator of your reality. You make the rules. If you decide that you don’t need methods to shift, then you won’t need methods. If you decide that all you need to do is blink once and then you’ll shift, then all you’ll need to do is blink. Get it? It’s all you. Every “rule”, every decision, every belief and doubt, every little thing that goes into shifting all comes from you. So make it easy for yourself! Like seriously why make it harder? Shifting is inherently easy, and you can make it easier for yourself with just a simple thought.
Have fun with methods, but always, always remind yourself that they are just an option. You don’t need them. All you need to shift is intention. All you need to shift is you. You are the creator of your reality; the operant power in everything that goes on. You make the rules. No one else can tell you how to think or what to believe. So don’t listen to people when they say that you “need” to do methods, use your 5 senses, detach from your CR, meditate, be high vibrational, or that “visualisation is necessary” to shift. The only thing you will ever “need” to shift is yourself. Your own thoughts are all you need. You are all you need to shift!!
Take advantage of the power inside you! Your thoughts create your reality, your thoughts make the rules, your thoughts run the entire multiverse! Assume that you’re a master shifter and you will be. Assume that you’ve shifted and you have. Everything you need is already inside you. So what are you waiting for! Shift!!
I want to say again that this post was written by @multiversebaddie and I so please give your love to her if you haven't already! She wrote a heavy chunk of this post and it wouldn't have been possible without her!!
Hello my loves! I post about shifting quite often but I've realized that not everyone knows how to shift. It's actually very simple! Trust me, a full guide isn't really necessary but I know it can be fun to read it out. By the end of this, you'll be surprised at how easy it is!
First, what exactly is shifting?
Well, there are actually a lot of theories! There is no solid answer because that'll change based on your own personal beliefs. In its simplest definition, shifting is shifting your awareness to a different reality. The belief of shifting requires you to believe in other realities, regardless of how you think that works.
What are some key terms?
DR- Desired/Dream Reality, WR- Waiting Room, CR- Current Reality, OR- Old/Original Reality, Methods- a process to help you shift, Safe Word/Action- A word/phrase that you say or an action that you do that shifts you somewhere else, most often used to shift back to your CR or WR.
How do I shift?
It's very simple! The intention to shift is all you actually need. Methods, scripting, meditation, and all that other extra stuff are just tools that you can use to shift. However, it's important to remember that they aren't necessary. You don't need them at all! All you need is an intention to shift.
So how do we do that? How do we just set an intention and shift? Again, it's very simple!
By definition, intention means, "a thing intended; an aim or plan". Deciding to eat an apple when you're hungry is an intention. Deciding to wake up at 8 am is an intention. Don't overthink this! Literally just making the decision to do something is how to set an intention. And then decide to follow through with that plan.
I know it may seem difficult, maybe even confusing - I completely understand. Whenever you want to shift, simply decide that you're shifting. Tell yourself that you're going to shift no matter what! Trust in your ability to do that. Shifting is easy! People have been doing it for hundreds of years, so trust me when I say you can too. Set the intention by making the decision to shift and just let yourself go. Try to trust in yourself and in your abilities.
What are methods?
A method is simply a process you do to shift. They can focus on visualizing, feeling your DR, focusing your mind, etc. Oftentimes methods help you feel more relaxed and help you focus your attention on your DR/WR so you can shift easily. However, it's important to note that they aren't needed to shift. Always remember, it's not the method that shifts you, it's you. That's why some people will shift instantly using the Raven Method while others never do. It's all about the person!
For specific methods, I recommend searching "shifting methods" and finding one that looks interesting to you!
Some important things to note about methods:
You don't need to do it exactly the same way as other people (change them to your heart's content). If you like a method but a specific part seems boring or uncomfortable, just don't do it. Trust me, changing a method won't affect how well it works because
Every method works well.
If a method doesn't work, it likely has to do with your mindset, not the method itself (because again, all methods work).
No method is stronger than another, it's all about the person using them.
You should ideally be using a method that makes you feel comfortable. Don't force yourself to use one you don't like just because other people have had success with it.
Time Ratio
Your time ratio is essentially how time moves while you're in your DR/WR. If you were to shift with no script/intentions, time would pass normally while you're there. So if you shift to your DR and you stay there for a week, when you shift back to your CR a week would have gone by. If two months pass by in your DR, two months pass by in your CR. Time essentially moves at the same pace in both realities!
However, not everyone wants time to pass in their CRs so to avoid this we can script/intend a time ratio. This ratio can be anything you want! For instance, if one year passes in your DR, only one hour passes in your CR. With this time ratio in mind, if you've been in your DR for one year, when you shift back, only one hour would have passed (so if you shift at 2 pm, when you shift back it would be 3 pm). You can also script/intend that no time passes while you're shifting. Pretty cool right?
This time ratio is often used by shifters to avoid missing things in their CR however, it can be flipped to make time move faster! For example, if one week passes in your DR, 1 year passes in your CR. People don't do this as often but you can do it!
Mindset
Do you need a good mindset to shift? No. Does it help? Yes.
Your thoughts about shifting are important! Do you think shifting is hard to do? Do you think you need methods? Do you think you need to be 100% relaxed and have no doubts to shift? Do you think you need to meditate, affirm, and count to 100 multiple times a day?
All of these things are called beliefs and, as most of you probably know, sometimes beliefs can be limiting. As in they literally limit you from your full potential.
Now, there's two big things I want you to understand about "limiting beliefs":
1. You can 100% still shift with every doubt, fear, and limiting belief imaginable. They cannot stop you from shifting.
2. Maybe it's a little ironic but, limiting beliefs are only limiting if you believe they are. Remember, it's your knowledge, beliefs, and conviction that shift you. If you truly believe that drinking a gallon of water helps you shift, then you will shift after drinking a gallon of water. If you believe that you just need to think about shifting to shift, then you will shift just by thinking about it.
So remember, limiting beliefs cannot stop you from shifting. They only limit your potential, and only if you believe they do.
That being said, shifting is a mental power. If you're having a difficult time with it, then it could be due to something you believe or how you treat yourself. When you have the time and energy, go through what you know and believe about shifting. Is there anything up there that could be discouraging you or "holding you back"?
How to have a good mindset?
Know that shifting is inherently easy and that you can shift easily whenever you want
Believe that you have a good mindset
Work through any limiting beliefs you may have
Know that you can still shift while having doubts and limiting beliefs
Know that you can still shift while having a "bad" mindset
Don't put shifting or your DR on a pedestal
Know that you don't need to do anything special to shift (you don't need to meditate, script, count, drink extra water, etc. you just need you).
Limiting Beliefs
All that said, here are some common limiting beliefs among shifters:
Any variation of shifting is hard, shifting takes a lot of time/energy to do, shifting isn’t easy for everyone, etc. (Shifting is easy. That’s it. It’s 100% okay if you have trouble with shifting, but telling yourself that shifting is hard won’t necessarily help you in the long run. If you find it hard to tell yourself that shifting is easy, try things like, “shifting is normal. Shifting can be easy. Shifting isn’t difficult” instead.)
You need a “final push” to shift. (Nope! Some people have gone through final pushes, but they aren’t necessary and you can still shift without it.)
You need to do a method to shift. (Nope! Like I mentioned above, intention is all you need.)
You need to affirm to shift. (Nope)
You need high vibrations to shift. (No…? They can certainly help I’m sure but they aren’t necessary. Literally, a person with the lowest vibrations ever can still shift.)
Things can hold you back from shifting. (Well, yes and no, but mostly no. The only thing that can hold you back from shifting is you. Yourself. Nothing and no one else has the power to stop you from shifting. Only you do.)
Any belief about scripting really. You don’t need to script. Your script doesn’t need to be simple or detailed. It’s literally just a script (which I’ll get into next) and that’s going to be personal.
You can get stuck in your DR/WR. (No. Full stop no. Literally how would that happen? You shifted there intentionally, you can just shift out. Trust me, nothing is gonna keep you there.)
You can’t shift. (Yes, you can.)
You can’t use “negative words” like “no, can’t, don’t” in your script. (Weird as fuck ngl. Yes, you can! Your subconscious knows the difference, trust me. It’s not going to care that you said “no” in your script. It knows what you meant and nothing bad is going to happen.)
This isn’t a full list of every single limiting belief out there, it’s just a few. Again, you can still shift while having limiting beliefs. They can’t outright stop you! However, if you feel like you should’ve shifted by now and you’re not entirely sure why you haven’t, it’s possible that you may have a limiting belief that are, well, limiting you. Try to go through everything you “know” about shifting and see if there’s anything up there that sounds like a rule, a fear, or anything that says you “need to do something” or “can’t do something else”. It might take a minute, but you should be able to identify them fairly easily!
After you've done that, take the time to figure out how you want to deal with these beliefs:
You can decide to "flip" a doubt or fear when it pops up into something positive or more productive. Like turning "I can't shift" into "I can shift". It's okay if you don't believe what you're saying, your subconscious can't tell "right" from "wrong". It takes things at face value so if you say "I can shift", it believes you.
You can ignore these limiting beliefs and let your mind wander to something else instead.
You can give yourself a firm "No. That's not true." when limiting beliefs pop up.
You can start to affirm or visualize something shifting related (like a DR)
Scripting
What is it and how do we do it? Like everything else that involves shifting, it's pretty easy!
Scripting is a way to visualize and plan your DR. It's not necessary; you do not need to script. You can write out your script anywhere! And you can be as specific or as vague as you want. Scripts are personal so don't worry about it being "perfect". It's literally just a tool to help you shift! You don't need it, it doesn't have to be perfect, and it doesn't need to be aesthetic or organized. Just write down whatever you want to include about your DR!
Scripts often include details about your DR and DR self. It can also include points on safety, relationships, rules, specific moments, etc. But again, please remember that this step isn't necessary and you don't need to add all of this even if you do make a script.
I'm going to be posting a more detailed guide on scripting soon and I'll link it here when it's finished. For now, stop worrying so much about all the fine details, and just let your mind flow! You can script however you want!
What are clones?
Please read these two posts first! TLDR: clones are you. It's your consciousness, your body, you. Clones are honestly named very badly. They aren't an actual copy of you and as such you don't need to worry about them doing something you wouldn't. They are you. The term "clone" is merely describing the process through which your physical body and mind still exist in your CR while you're shifting somewhere else. It's essentially you on autopilot. You know how your DR self already exists and is living their life even though you're not actively aware of that reality yet? It's the same thing with clones! They're just yourself in your CR when you're not there. But they are not a separate person and you'll never have to worry about them doing something horrible or weird. Your clone is you.
Affirming
Affirmations are phrases that affirm something to be true, often repeated to really drive the message home. You do not need to affirm to shift, however, it can help you to shift, build confidence, and have a healthier mindset toward shifting. You can say them in your head or out loud, and you can say them once or however many times you want.
Some common shifting affirmations are: I have shifted, I am shifting, I am in my DR/WR, Shifting is as easy breathing, I am 100% in control of my reality, I am a master shifter, I give myself permission to shift, Nothing holds me back from shifting.
These are just some examples, you don't need to use them and you can change them if you do. Affirming should feel natural to you but it's okay if you feel awkward at first (a lot of people do).
LIFA App
The LIFA app is a tool that can appear as an application on your technological devices or anywhere else you want (journals, closets, mirrors etc). It's not necessary at all. It's mostly used by shifters who want a little more direct control and/or insight over the reality they're in.
It can be used in many different ways but it's most commonly used for manifesting, editing, scripting, shifting, finances, relationships, and checking in on your clone(s). Shifters mostly use the LIFA app to make their experience in their DR better. You can use it to manifest food, change your outfit, edit your script, shift somewhere else, etc. Really it can be used for anything you can think of! You can also script/intend that no one in your DR can see it except for you.
Quick questions
Can I still shift with doubts/limiting beliefs?
Yes! 100% yes!! Tons of people have shifted while having doubts about it. You can go through practically any social media site and half of the success stories start with "so I shifted even though I wasn't trying/didn't believe". It's 100% possible so don't worry too much!
Can I get stuck in my DR?
No! Just like you can't be stuck in your CR, you can't get stuck in your DR.
What is a waiting room?
A WR is literally just another reality! People tend to use it as an in-between shifting experience however, you don't need to. You don't need a waiting room at all!
Waiting rooms can be anything you want, ranging from a simple bedroom to a full blown city. Anything you can imagine! You can shift there to relax, work on scripts, hang out with friends, shift to other realities, etc. Literally whatever you want :)
Do I have to visualize?
No. You don't need to do anything! You just need the intention, that's it.
How do I shift back to my CR?
You can use a safe word/action, set the intention, or even do a method. The act of shifting back is the exact same as shifting to so just do whatever you want!
What are symptoms?
Symptoms are more often than not just your body falling asleep while your mind stays awake. That's basically it. Not every shifter will experience them and they aren't "necessary" or even a sign that you're shifting. It's literally just a physical sensation of your body falling asleep (even if you're doing an awake method!). So don't panic if you don't experience symptoms, they're not a big indicator.
How to motivate myself?
Honestly, that'll change for everyone. My advice would be to remind yourself of why you want to shift in the first place. Do you want to live a better life? Or maybe just go on a fun adventure with friends? Every reason is equally important and I find that it's a big factor in keeping yourself motivated to shift.
You can also think about your DR/WR in more detail; what you like about it, what you're excited to experience, who you want to hang out with, etc.
Can I script this/shift here?
Yes. You can script whatever you want and go wherever you want. There are no exceptions to this!
Can I shift permanently/do I have to come back?
Read these two posts please!
Do I have to fall asleep to shift?
No. Like I said before, you just need the intention to shift. That means you can shift whenever you want, however you want. You don't need to be asleep or even relaxed!
Extra tips?
Have fun with it! Shifting should always be fun so if you find yourself getting really stressed or upset, either take a break or assess why you're feeling that way and try to solve the issue if you can. But most of all, have fun with shifting!
Be easy on yourself! It's okay if you don't shift on your first try. Always assume that you will shift but don't beat yourself up if you don't.
Don't compare yourself to others. Even after consciously shifting for the first time, some people end up comparing themselves to other shifters. This happens even more often with new shifters. Comparing your shifting journey will just make you feel bad and inadequate. This kind of goes into the "have fun" tip. Anything you could do that makes you feel bad or demotivated just isn't worth your time.
Try not to worry too much about intrusive thoughts. They can't manifest because you don't actually want them, therefore, you won't accidentally shift somewhere you don't want to. I recommend repeating the phrases, "I am safe. I am protected" until you know them to be true if you're worried about safety.
Figure out what works for you! Some people prefer sleep methods while others prefer awake methods. Some people have 50 page scripts while others have one sentence written on their arm. Give yourself the time to figure out what works for you and makes you comfortable.
Never take no for an answer. Don't let failure be an option. Failure isn't even in your vocabulary! Adopt the mindset of a master shifter and you will be.
Alright... I think that's it? This post is super long holy shit I didn't expect that when I first started it. Most of this is just technical mumbo jumbo anyway. Remember! Shifting is easy! You've done it before a million times and you'll do it again! Conscious shifting is also super easy. If you assume that shifting is hard, then it will be. If you assume that you can't do it, you won't. Always assume that you can shift, that you are a master shifter, that shifting is the easiest thing in the world (because it is!).
You already are a master shifter. You just need to let yourself do what you've always done. So get off tumblr dot com and go live your dream life!!! You got this babe!!!
There were some recent discussions about respawning in the loa community and as someone who's been in the shifting community for years, I figured I could shed some light on what it is, how to do it, common misconceptions, etc! This post should go over most of your questions but if there's anything else you're confused or worried about, do let me know!
What is Respawning?
Respawning, not to be confused with permashifting, is when someone shifts to another reality and severs their connection to their CR (current reality). This means that this person will not be able to shift their awareness back to that reality.
So, say someone is currently aware of Reality 1 but they want to respawn to Reality 2. Once they respawn, they won't be able to shift back to Reality 1. Making sense so far? Great!
Fears and Worries
After shifting got popular a few years ago, a lot of people had some fears around the whole thing. People especially were very nervous about permashifting and respawning and as such, they both got a pretty bad rep.
I want to make it very clear that you do not need to die/commit to respawn. This is an extremely limiting belief that quite frankly, is also dangerous when people believe it. There are so many other ways to respawn, you do not need to die. So, without further ado:
How do you Respawn?
Respawning is very similar to shifting just with an added step! So there's no need to complicate it. You can respawn the same way that you shift! However, since respawning is the added act of severing your connection, here are some ways to go about that specifically:
1. Erasing your memories.
This should be fairly straightforward. You can either script or intend that once you shift to your desired reality, you'll simply forget about your CR. You can also forget that you shifted there in the first place if you want!
2. Visualizing a "thread"
You can do this whenever you want, some people will go into the void or a lucid dream first, but you don't have to. Simply visualize a string/thread that connects you (aka your consciousness) and your CR together. Then visualize cutting/burning/just generally destroying this thread! This can be done before and/or after shifting to your desired reality.
3. Scripting
Simply script that you can never shift back to your CR!
4. Intention
Simply set the intention that you can never shift back!
Quite honestly, I don't want to talk about how to respawn through death. It's not necessary and I don't recommend it. I understand not wanting your clone to go through the same thing, trust me, I do. I've been there. But I want you to really take a deep breath and think. There are always other options. Which leads me to:
What about my clone?
Majority of the time when people do consider respawning through death it's because they believe a clone will still exist in the reality they're leaving. They're afraid that this version of them will still have to go through whatever they're currently going through. They want a quick way to leave and, most importantly, a quick way of ensuring they can no longer be hurt.
I want to assure you that I understand this fear very personally, and that's why I feel confident in telling you that this fear is not necessary. It's okay to feel it, but you do not have to act on it.
If you are considering respawning through death, I want you to read these next paragraphs very clearly, with an open heart and mind.
After respawning, you can still change things in your OR through manifestation, scripting, and/or intention. Think about the life you want for yourself there. It can be a better version of that life or something completely different. You can give yourself a completely new life, with new family, friends, circumstances, etc. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to respawn and still ensure a good life for the you there.
That being said, sometimes just changing your OR-self's life doesn't feel like enough. So instead, change the whole world. You can change key issues or turn it into your favorite movie. The world is your canvas! Give yourself the life you want.
Regardless of how you go about it, the main thing I want you to take away is that there will always be a better option. An option that is kinder to you, an option that gives you hope, an option that brings light to the darkness you've endured. I understand wanting to just throw everything away, but I want you to know that you can do that and give your OR-self a good life. You don't have to deal with death at all.
Be gentle with yourself. Think about the hopes and dreams you have or used to have. Think about the perfect life and give it to your OR-self. Knowing you can change everything is power. Understand and respect the power and knowledge inside you and use it to treat yourself with the kindness and grace you should've been afforded your whole life.
Common Misconceptions
Permashifting and respawning are the same thing.
Nope! I understand the confusion, however, they are different. If you haven't already, now would be the time to click on that link at the beginning of the post!
Your body has to die for you to respawn.
This isn't a video game! You do not have to die. And if you keep telling people that, what exactly do you think will happen? People will still want to respawn and now they think they have to die? Bro please, have some common sense. Respawning does not equal death, at least not in terms of shifting.
Respawning is painful/traumatic.
No! Absolutely not. All of the "methods" I listed above are completely pain and stress-free. Don't worry so much.
Respawning is harder than shifting.
Nope! It's literally just shifting but with the added intent of never coming back. Why would that be harder?
All people who respawn are suicidal.
No.
People who respawn are selfish.
No. You guys need to understand that sometimes people are born into realities that are real shitty. It's not selfish to want a better life and it's not selfish to leave one reality forever.
There are some other misconceptions but I think these are the most important and frequent ones!
Why would someone respawn?
Good question! Like I said in that last point, sometimes people are currently aware of very shitty realities. Honestly, I don't think I need to list all the horrible things that people can go through here. People respawn for literally any reason but a lot of times, they're doing it because it's an option that will let them live safely and happily. Most people have an emotional connection to their CR and may find it hard to just permashift because they know they might be tempted to come back. And that's certainly not a bad thing, but depending on their life there, it can be like going back to that ex that cheated on you five times and stole your money. Not great.
At the end of the day, what someone does with their shifting journey is up to them. And constantly judging people for something that is not inherently dangerous, and was only spread as such because people were uneducated and fearful of it, is just not great all around. No one needs to explain to you why they want to respawn. It's a big decision and if someone made it they've definitely thought it through.
One last time before I end this post, you do not need to die to respawn. I know I've said it multiple times now but it's important for people to understand this. Constantly saying this just because you heard it somewhere else and got scared is not great! Please remember how powerful you are. You do not need to do anything in order to shift, permashift, or respawn.
Alright! I think that's it? Again, if you have any further questions just let me know. Respawning is pretty simple and so is actually doing it. But definitely make sure you're in the right headspace while making this kind of decision and don't rush it.
