hi ava! I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned this before and if you have I’m sorry but I was wondering how you shifted? I really want to and have been interested in it since it was on tiktok but if you’ve seen some of the stuff on there you know there’s a lot of misinformation and since you talk about your shifting experiences I figured it would be best to ask you :)
hello!!! i'm always open to talking about shifting!
i have a few other posts about this under my #ava's a shifter tag, but here's a little basic info fro the 'shifting handbook' i made for my little brother (who made a dr where they just get to travel to places he wants to go?? so friggen smart)
we'll start of with some basic terminology:
DR: Desired Reality
CR: Current Reality
OR: Original Reality (means the same as CR)
Waiting Room: A place you can stop at before going to your DR so you have time to fully prep and feel ready.
onto the tips and such!
what is shifting?
Shifting is defined as the action of moving one’s consciousness awareness from this current reality (CR) to one’s desired reality (DR). Robert A. Monroe has cronicalled his experiences in his book “Journey’s Out of the Body”, and he mentions how after he switches his consciousness to his body there, he basically becomes this person. He regains his memories from that reality, and everything was physical-matter. Things there were identical to this reality. People had their own lives, family, and businesses. But instead, in that reality electricity and anything related were nonexistent.
Whenever Robert Monroe left, it was because he wanted to leave. He always returned back to this reality through the same way he arrived. I also took note of how time there seemed to pass as it should while he was back here. Whenever he returned to Locale III that reality’s version of himself was always doing something different. And in later shifts which he calls “intrusions”, there were some pretty big changes in his life there.
when are the best times to shift?
You can essentially shift at any given time. There are no rules surrounding shifting, especially when it comes to when you should and when you shouldn’t.
that being said:
The full moon is one of the best times to shift. There are other times as well, such as the worm moon, the pink moon, the flower moon, the strawberry moon, the buck moon, the sturgeon moon, the corn moon, the harvest moon, the beaver moon, and the cold moon. The moon is very important to shifting because of energy. The more open and susceptible to energy (both giving and receiving) you are, the more likely you are to shift. The moon phases affect the earth’s energy, and the energy of you, and others. This is why tides are affected by certain moon phases, and children appear to be more ‘wired’ during the full moon phase. The earth is giving more energy, therefore, the receiver of this energy, a child for example, would be more open to receiving this energy.
Shifting Methods:
Shifting methods aren’t mandatory to shift, but it can help a great deal. It essentially takes the guessing out of shifting, and helps you recognize when you’re in your dr.
The Raven Method
The Pillow Method
The Alice in Wonderland Method
The Heartbeat Method
The Train Method
The Staircase Method
The Double Sided Staircase Method
The Elevator Method
The Eleven Method
The Piano Method
The Intent Method
The Void State Method
The Valentino Method
*I won’t cover all of these, instead i will cover my two favourite methods.*
Valentino Method:
Read over your script (not mandatory, but a good habit to get into so that you can keep your dr the way YOU want it!). This can be done physically or mentally.
Leave a note for your dr self on the bottom of your script. Do this whether you go over it physically or not. Doesn’t have to be specific, it can be for a friend or significant other in that reality that you want to remember!
Your mindset! Go into this with the mindset that you are a master shifter, and you’re the best shifter in the world, and that you have shifted to this dr before. Manifestation works.
Think about where you are going to wake up. (is it your room at the Avengers Compound? Is it your Hogwarts Dorm? Doesn’t have the be a bedroom, it can be a hospital bed, or a battlefield. Establish that beforehand, and focus on that. See it in your mind.)
Use your five senses, one at a time, and walk around where you plan to wake up.
Repeat until you fall asleep. (this can be hard, especially if you don’t feel tired enough. If you feel that way, start out with a 5 - 10 minute meditation)
*credit for this method goes to @/alexajareau on tiktok*
The Void State Method:
**In order for this method to work, you must achieve the void state, which is a state in which you are pure consciousness. Basically, you are everything, and nothing at the same time.**
Set the intention of how you are going to shift once you enter the void (etc. you cna say “i am in my (name of dr) dr” and you will arrive there.
Lay in a comfortable position. This can be your stomach, back, or your side. Meditation is recommended, and Epsilon waves work wonders.
Breathe in for four seconds and out for four seconds (doesn’t have to be exact)
Once there are no distractions, continue to affirm and take deep breaths. Affirm by saying “i am pure consciousness not attached to any reality.
You will know when you have entered the void state. Follow your gut feeling. Some of these symptoms include falling, zooming, and later floating, but these vary.
Once you’re there, carry out your intention from step one. I recommend using the 5 senses from the Valentino method.
Desires manifest almost instantly in the void state, so wait a few seconds, and then open your eyes once you’re sure you are in your dr, and your wake up scene will begin.
*i have a more indepth explanation of this method under my shifting tag.*
Crystals:
Crystals have many uses, and shifting is one of them! Keep reading to find out which crystals help you shift, why they help you shift, and how to use them to your advantage.
Crystals that help with shifting:
Amethyst
Celestite
Moonstone
Moldavite
Black Tourmaline
Clear Quartz
Citrine
Selenite
Amethyst: Amethyst is amazing for anything spiritual or psychic. It also boosts your vibrations, and is one of the more essential crystals for shifting.
Celestite: Celestite paired with Amethyst is a shifting dream team. It also has high vibrations!
Moonstone: This one isn’t essential, but it offers calmness!
Moldavite: Moldavite is so incredibly powerful and spiritual. It can induce rapid change and can also help you shift realities. But I warn you—do not use Moldavite if you aren’t ready.
Black Tourmaline: Black Tourmaline offers protection. You don’t always know what awaits you in alternative realities (especially if your script isn’t detailed enough). Keep this stone nearby to protect you and bring you back to this reality if you need.
Clear Quartz: Clear Quartz is an amplifier stone. Add it to your shifting stones collection to raise their powers and let you access your alternate reality quicker.
Citrine: Citrine stimulates your imagination and is one of the best crystals for creativity. Citrine will help you script the reality you wish to shift into, and imagine it, increasing the chance of success.
Selenite: Selenite is the master cleanse and will cleanse any blockages you have. To shift, your chakras must all be open. Use Selenite to eliminate any blockages that may prevent you from successfully shifting.
Shifting Script:
*this is just the basic info you can include in your script if you choose. A shifting script is also not mandatory for shifting, but it enhances your experience, and makes it more personalized, and i feel that it makes me feel more connected to my dr. You can edit anything. Your height, weight, skin colour, hair colour, but be careful, you could hurt yourself mentally by making huge changes. You can also edit others around you. You can reverse a death, give yourself someone else’s powers, and change a timeline completely. But, remember: this is still a reality, and the people in that reality are very real. Don’t make any bad choices, such as a serial killer dr. Just don’t.*
