Hello shifting community!! My names McKayla but I usually go by Kayla and Bats :) I’m 16, bisexual, genderfluid, and a Demi girl. I’m a goth and my favorite thing in the world is Halloween and horror! I’m actually autistic and I have ADHD. I love horror movies, gothic literature, ghosts, anything morbid, goth and black metal music. I kin Sally from the nightmare before Christmas HEAVILY and I also kin Lydia Deez who is the voice and face claim in all my DR’s. This will be a my shifting only account, I will sometimes talk about stuff other than shifting and my DR’s but it will be rarely. I have another account but I wish for it to be disconnected from this one so please don’t try and find my other one :)
My main DR’s at the moment are:
Percy Jackson (s/o is Clarisse)
IT 2017 (s/o is Henry Bowers)
Better CR
Fame
I am a respawner!! For those wondering it’s a more extreme version of permashifting where instead of simply permanently shifting to a reality with my memories of my CR and the ability to shift back, I instead plan on permanently shifting and forgetting about my CR completely with no intention of EVER returning. If you want a more in depth version you may ask
DNI!! Anti shifters, anti respawning, people with the same s/o’s (I do not condone harassment it simply makes me uncomfortable so I simply block), basics (homophobes, racists, etc), anyone under 13 or 18+
DM’s and questions are open!! If you want to share scripts, methods, or just want to talk about our DR’s feel free!!
“Stop romanticizing your Dr!” “Stop daydreaming about your Dr!” “Stop-“
SHUT YOUR BITCH ASS UP 💔
IF THE SHIFTERS BACK IN 2020, WHO ACTUALLY SHIFTED WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF MISINFORMATION CAN SHIFT WITH DISINFORMATION, WE ACTUALLY CNA SHIFT HOWEVER WE WANT ❤️🩹 DAY DREAMING, SLEEPING, AWAKE, COOKING, EATING, DOING SPORTS, ANYTHING!
And remember: YOU WILL SHIFT! YOU HAVE SHIFTED! ❤️🩹
Introducing the "Scheduled Certainty Method" by me.
This method focus on group power and sleep based. It's a great method if you tend to fall asleep in the middle of your method, because it is basically the point. This method has 2 different versions of itself, because it’s separated in 2 part, the first one which is the most important one (its the part that crisply helo you shift), and the second one that is the “rest” of the method, but is not necessary. The second part is to make it more method-like for people who feel like they need it. But the first part itself is already enough.
So this method is not just about hoping to shift. It's about knowing, deep down, that you will shift. Not "maybe," not "if I'm lucky," but "I've already decided, and that's it, it WILL happen". And so with this method, we're going to use that mindset + the power of collective intention to get you there. Also, I would like to mention that this method dosent just act like a placebo pill like most of the other methods, but it actually focus on your subconscious and help you actually shift. That’s why it has such a great success rate.
STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR SHIFTING DAY (And Lock It In): Pick a specific day, like literally mark it on your calendar. Not just a vague "this weekend maybe," but a clear date where you'll have enough time and peace to shift. Also not too close to now, so don't say "tomorrow", give it at least a couple day for it to sink in (preferably with no pressure the next day to be able to actually let go). This is the date you're going to shift. No hesitation.
STEP 2: DAYS OF PROGRAMMING: In the days leading up to the shift, start robotic affirming. No overthinking, just repeat: "I am shifting", "I will shift on chosen dayl", ect. Repeat it while cleaning, walking, brushing your teeth, scrolling, breathing, as much as you can, especially when you're doubting yourself. You don't need to feel the affirmations, just repeat like you're programming a machine (until you then feel it). This step reprograms your brain to expect the shift, not just wish for it. To KNOW the shift. Then, I usually gather with other people who are also shifting (though the same method) We talk, we hype, we plan, we build anticipation together. We set the date together. We affirm for each other. We gaslight each other to really convince ourselves. So when the day comes? We KNOW we will shift. I personally find it easier to do with other people because I feel like it's easier to gaslight each other than gaslight yourself alone.
STEP 3: WHEN TO DO IT: I highly recommend doing the method In the middle of the night, when you're super tired (set an alarm about 3 in the morning). BUT: it's also completely fine to fall asleep naturally with the intention of shifting or to combine it with a sleep method. You don't have to always wake up or interrupt your sleep As long as your intention is rock-solid, your body will take you there. This is the step where the first part is completed. You can simply fall asleep with the intention, or you can continue and do the second part of the method as well (but which is optional. BUT even if this part is optional, I recommend to do it, mostly if you never shifted before/ is having hard time with shifting). Some nights I just lie down, let go, and let it happen. But waking around 3am helps with the hypnagogic state (based on a general person “regular” sleep schedule).
STEP 4: Once you wake up at 3 am, stay tired as much as you can, don't try to wake up. Take your time. Slowly, softly relax your muscles and your mind. Don't rush it. Shifting is not about speed, it's about surrender. Keep your focus on the moment. Breathe. You're not trying to "make something happen." You're allowing it to. You can also start your favorite subliminal if you wish (I recommend preparing it before going to bed so you don't have to wake up too much).
STEP 5: DRIFT INTO THE HYPNAGOGIC STATE: Now allow your mind to drift into that soft, dreamy, in-between place. That state where you're not quite awake, not quite asleep, just floating. It is called the hypnagogic state. It's a state where the mind begins to disengage from the external world, this is the sweet spot. Don't force it. Let it come. Let yourself hover there. At some point in this hypnagogie state, you might start to feel things that people call "symptoms". Don't be scared It's natural while being in that state (transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, characterized by a mix of brain activity and sensory experiences) Stay calm and go with it.
STEP 6: FINAL VISUALIZATION, ENGAGE ALL YOUR SENSES: Now's the moment, visualize your Desired Reality. See it, feel it, breathe it. Use all your senses. What does the air smell like? What are you wearing? Can you feel the floor? Hear the voices? It's real. Because it is. This is your final push. This visualization is the bridge between your CR and your DR.
STEP 7: LET GO (FULLY): This is the most important part: let go. Let go of needing it. Let go of pressure. Let the visualization drift off like a dream becoming real. You don't have to do anything more. No more affirming. No more trying. Just let yourself sleep, with full certainty that when you wake up, it will be in your DR (the point of group hyping because it's not just something you "hope" will happen, it convinced you and make you KNOW with certainty (this is the most important point, its the key)). It's something you decided is already done.
You don't shift because you're lucky or because you wish to, you shift because your consciousness agreed on one thing: "This is the date. This is the moment. And it is done."
I WAS GOING THRU MY ALIGHT MOTION 2 CLEAR MORE STORAGE AND I FORGOT I NAMED MY FREAKING BRANCE WONT YOU DIEEE 2NITE 4 LOVEEE EDIT ANIMATIC ART DRAWING THING THIS SHIT
im sure you're being bombarded with asks about the current drama. hopefully i can distract you from it all for just a little 💗
my confession is that i think there are not enough "weird" drs. i know they exist, but personally whenever i see another harry potter dr, a fame dr, or a dr based on an anime, shiftblr just feels sorta boring. people say there are so many weirdos on shiftblr, yet i never see any! where are they? im nosey! 😩
obviously, shift wherever you want! who really cares? but today i am entitled and incredibly self-centered. i want to see the non-aesthetic drs. that girl with the cult dr? it's strange, but it's interesting and it's exploring an idea that others are too afraid to touch. in my opinion, people reacted so harshly to it, but i can understand why. drs based on dark fic or proshipper tropes, kinky pornographic drs, drs based on horror games, being the villain in your dr, horrible or problematic s/os... i love them all. 🤩
i saw a shifter with jimmy from mouthwashing as their boyfriend and while i don't get it at all, it's different! he's an awful person, but that shifter likes him for whatever possible reason.
i like reading those scripts among the hundreds of pretty blogs that are safe and have a blonde pop star as their face claim. they're so rare. 💔🥀 i wish we could see more strange drs that weren't just someone ragebaiting with a racist "slave" dr. i understand that it's because most people want to shift to somewhere comfortable, and when you post those unique drs people are going to make the "oh my god! 😳 i can't believe somebody has a ___ dr! 🤮 how gross/weird/awful!" then it turns into gossip, and then the person with the controversial dr has to deactivate. 😒 people care too much about what's morally right, even if what they're doing isn't even breaking any actual social rules, when they quite literally have the entire multiverse in their hands!
I HATE Ruegard, no it’s not because I hate Silena. I’m ok with her though she’s not my favorite. And it’s not purely because I hate seeing ships with Clarisse in it (since she’s my shifting s/o) but it’s because I genuinely can’t see it ever actually happening
it's finals season for me, which naturally means i'm doing everything but studying. so, today, when i was taking a study break, i was suddenly struck by an idea: what if i just hypnotized myself to shift? if it works in movies, it might as well work in real life!
i pulled up a hypnosis spiral video, muted it, put on my noise canceling headphones, and just watched it. for 30 minutes, i sat there and did nothing but watch the spiral on my screen, sometimes crossing my eyes, sometimes spacing out, sometimes really focusing on the center, and through it all, i just kept doing shifting robotic affirmations, like "i can shift on command," "i trust in my ability to shift," "i am a master shifter," etc.
the first 15 minutes honestly just flew by as i kept affirming, i thought it'd been at most 5 minutes, but when i checked, triple that time had already passed. around that mark, i started to get really bored, so i just doubled down on my affirmations, still watching my screen ceaselessly.
around 5 minutes later (20 minutes into just watching the hypnosis video on my screen in silence), my brain began to feel muffled? i don't even know how else to describe it, it just sort of began to feel uncomfortable, and then it went really quiet, and all i could hear were my affirmations in my head.
when those 30 minutes were up, i felt like i'd been in such a trance, i got a little bit startled, even. i'm not sure if it's because of the visual stimulus, but it was easier to completely focus on my affirmations without getting distracted or having my thoughts drift, so if you sometimes struggle with focusing on robotic affirming and you have some time to spare, i definitely recommend this! i might start doing it every night before bed when i'm already sleepy :)
recipe: chamomile's shifting method ☕
(aka my method for getting into the void/shifting!)
this is a good method for people who struggle to visualize (like me) or for people who struggle for detach from their body in their cr (like me).
step one: mentally say ‘i don't have toes’ and imagine that you don't have toes.
step two: take a breath in and out.
step three: repeat steps one and two but switching toes for various other parts of your body (feet, ankles, calves, etc). i like to work my way up to my head but if you want to do it in another order do it whatever way you feel works best for you! i also like to repeat this a few times if i notice i can still feel a particular body part (eg if my calf starts itching and i still feel it i'll repeat ‘i don't have calves’ two or three times until it goes away)
step four: once you feel disconnected from your body, repeat affirmations until you are in the void state! i like to repeat affirmations in sets of ten (i am in the void state, i am pure consciousness, i am pure awareness, etc) and after each set of ten i like to ‘blink’ while my eyes are still closed to keep myself from falling asleep (s/o to @cloverapple for this tip!)
step five: once you're in the void, decide you've shifted. from here you can either fall asleep and wake up in your dr or shift while you are still awake! use whatever works best for you.
i hope this helps you! feel free to reblog and let me know how this method works out for you 💛
Hi! As I promised, here’s my method post (the one that also made my friend shift to her DR on her very first try, proud mom mode on). Actually, I was planning to wait until I made it perfect, but it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna happen anytime soon.. (Also even though it did not satisfy me aesthetically, I am sharing it today because the important thing is the content) so if I ever notice something I forgot to add or decide to change later, I’ll just edit the post.
It’s gonna be a long one, so I’ll try to divide it into sections (red ones), you can skip directly to the part you’re interested in! (But please don’t forget to read the “symptoms” section first; it’s important so you don’t freak out.) Still, I’d love for you to hear the whole story before the actual method.
First things first, you need to know that you don’t need any method to shift. Setting an intention is truly enough. This one isn’t exactly a method either, it’s more like something that helps you set your intention more easily (whatever this means) or helps you catch that exact moment between being awake and falling asleep. (There’s no “right” moment, I just say that to describe it better.) It’s kinda like wbtb, but not completely.
About this method / backstory: So, where did this method come from, and why is it called “Nothing”? Well, I actually discovered it by accident. I just realized it worked for me. As someone who used to fall asleep all the time and had wrong information about shifting back then, I was almost ready to give up, until I noticed I was getting symptoms again for the first time in ages. I think that’s when it all started. At that time, I used to fall asleep listening to Alunir’s meditations, and I began experiencing the symptoms I’ll mention soon.
That was back in 2024. After a long break from shifting (you know, I’m that person who tries to shift on and off, then takes long breaks), when I got back into my shifting era, I managed to make this method more effective for myself, and realized it actually helps me experience everything.
Again, you don’t even need a method, finding what works best for you is what matters most. But maybe this could work for someone out there too (hopefully).
As for the name “Nothing”, it’s not because you literally do nothing, but because when I once asked myself, “What should I do to shift?”, the answer I got was simply “Nothing.” So I said, “Fine then, I’ll do nothing.” And that’s how the “Nothing” method was born.
My Journey / Successes: What I’m about to write now, everything from 2024, are things I had noted down back then. I’ll share them exactly as they were. So even if I had already shifted before (and honestly, some of these notes make it look like I did), my first intentional and proper shift (without grounding myself) was in 2025, after I opened my Tumblr account and started journaling here!
October 13, 2024: I dreamt about shifting and started getting symptoms (I’ll talk about these in the next section).
October 31, 2024: I got symptoms again, and the meditation sound in the background suddenly turned into a demonic voice (I’ll also explain why that’s not actually scary in the next part).
November 5, 2024: Experienced the same symptoms again.
November 22, 2024: I shifted inside a dream (it was definitely a dream, but I don’t remember it clearly).
December 8, 2024: I remember my ears ringing with pressure.
December 23, 2024: I had a dream where I thought, “Is this what shifting feels like?” Everything was so vivid and clear. (I even wrote in my notes that I could sense everything with all five senses. So if that’s true, and I remembered it in detail, it was probably a shift, though I can’t be 100% sure because it’s been such a long time.)
April 8, 2025: At night, I remember my mom opening my door and asking, “Did you fall asleep yet?” The next morning during breakfast, I asked her if she had really done that, and she said no, she only peeked in quietly but didn’t even cover me up because she didn’t want to wake me. But I know she asked me that. I saw and heard it clearly, and at that exact moment, I was already feeling the symptoms and even thought, “Mom don’t distract me, I’m trying to shift.” So.. it was probably my first real shift. Because it wasn’t a dream, and I only realized later that it might have been a shift.
From this point on, the rest of my experiences are from when I consciously started trying this method and I also shared them on Tumblr, so I’ll leave the links too.
October 7, 2025: my first astral experience and shift.
October 8, 2025: my first lucid dream experience.
October 25, 2025: my dream to shift to lucid dream experience.
October 26, 2025: my friend’s first shift.
I also experienced the void state a few times (not sure when though, I don’t know why I didn’t note it down, or maybe I did and just forgot where I put it).
PS: If I had known back then that I shouldn’t be scared of the symptoms and shouldn’t focus on them, I’d probably have shifted intentionally a million times by now, maybe even permashifted. That’s why I’m telling you now: don’t focus on symptoms, don’t freak out. You’re safe, and you always will be. There’s nothing to be scared of. I’m saying this because I once wished someone had told me these things.
Possible symptoms and my friend’s shared experiences: The reason I couldn’t shift back in 2024 was because I kept focusing on the symptoms (yes, I experienced all of them). So again: Do NOT focus on symptoms. Do NOT freak out. Easier said than done, I know, but remember, none of these things are actually happening to your physical body.
Possible symptoms include:
Ear ringing or pressure in your ears
Heart beating like crazy
Feeling pressure even in your gums or head
Feeling like your body (or a part of it) is floating, my arm did once, but it wasn’t physical
Hearing demonic voices or changes in the subliminal/melody you’re listening to
Feeling like you can’t breathe
Spiraling (this one’s kinda weird but it’s like.. leaving your body in a spiral motion, though technically, you’re not “leaving” it)
Melting
Not feeling your body at all
All of these are normal. You might not feel any of them, or you might feel totally different ones, and that’s okay too. But if you do feel them, please don’t panic and don’t focus on them. Just say things like: “I’m safe.”, “I’m able to shift / oobe / astral project.”
Personally, repeating “I’m safe” throughout the whole process helps me a lot. It’s what made me have my first oobe and shift. When I felt the symptoms, I didn’t panic, I just told myself “I’m safe, I can do this” and let it happen.
Before doing this method (Recommendations but not necessary to do it): This part has nothing to do with the method itself, but increasing your awareness for a few days or even a week before shifting (or as long as you want) might help. Throughout the day, you can say affirmations like: “I’m pure consciousness.” “I’m pure awareness.” “I’m more than this reality.” “I’m more than this body.” “I’m in control.” “I can shift anytime I want.”
You can also fall asleep while watching the “Dream Machine” visual (I’ll leave the link here, you don’t have to do anything, just play the video, close your eyes, and keep watching the lights behind your eyelids).
Becoming aware of what you’re doing throughout the day can also help raise your awareness. Notice that you’re brushing your teeth when you’re brushing your teeth. Notice that you’re breathing when you’re breathing. Notice that you’re blinking when you blink. Do things consciously, not automatically.
You can also repeat affirmations like: “With every conscious or unconscious blink, I’m shifting to my chosen reality.” “With every conscious or unconscious breath, I’m becoming a master shifter.” (Which is true, because you already are a master shifter!) Of course, you can change the affirmations to whatever makes you feel more comfortable. The most important thing is to do what feels right for you!
These exercises will help you realize that you are pure consciousness and that you are the one in control. But again, you don’t have to follow every single step. The point is to adapt this method to what feels comfortable and natural for you. Doing these steps or not doing them is completely up to you! They might help, or they might not, what truly matters is how they make you feel. You’re free to skip them if you don’t want to!
Method: Okay, about the method. Before you sleep (I recommend doing it before your night sleep, but it’s not necessary, whatever makes you feel comfortable is all that matters!), set your intention like: “I’m choosing to shift tonight, and I’m sure about it.” It doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t overthink whether it’ll work or not, just say it and let it go!
And the position doesn’t matter at all! You can literally sleep standing on your head if you want to. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. But if you want to avoid focusing too much on your body, you can try lying on your back. (Personally, I just pick whatever position feels most comfortable at the moment.)
Then, before sleeping, we’re gonna play our list! (Which list, Aria?)
First of all, I want you to prepare a playlist on Youtube (or anywhere you prefer). It doesn’t have to be super long actually, your shift will probably take around 3 hours max (honestly, not even that long, trust me), but something around 8–10 hours might be better.
So, what should this playlist include? Whatever you want! You can add songs, movies, or even random videos like “everything you need to know about dinosaurs.” This part is completely personal, the key is that it should keep you slightly aware.
But honestly, I prefer subliminals. You’re going to sleep with subliminals playing, and we’ll also add some silent videos in between. The silence should last just long enough to let you drift into sleep, but not long enough to make you fully fall asleep, it keeps you right in that sweet spot between sleep and wakefulness.
But before that, don’t fall asleep right away! You need to fall asleep without realizing it.
Now, there are two versions of this method: with headphones or without headphones.
You can start reading whichever version you want to try, they’re almost the same except for a few small details.
Without Headphones Version: What I want you to do here is open your playlist and let it play softly in the background. Yes, without headphones. (For this, I really recommend Alunir! You can play one of Alunir’s audios since they also include affirmations, but honestly, it doesn’t matter what you choose! Just make sure there’s a bit of silence in between the sounds, enough to let you fall asleep but not too long. If you’re using Alunir’s meditations, you don’t need to add extra silent parts.)
Once you’re lying down and the subliminals are playing in the background, relax your body completely. Don’t focus on the subliminal itself. The important thing here is not to fall asleep right away (you’ll do that later, but not yet). Just watch the darkness behind your eyelids, literally watch that darkness. And while you do that, you can think or affirm things like: “I’m shifting.” “I’m already in my desired reality.” “I’m pure consciousness.”
You can also say things like: “I’m freeing myself from ego, fear, and doubt.” “I accept and release them, and I allow myself to shift.”
Or anything else that feels comfortable for you. You can change the affirmations depending on your goal, whether it’s lucid dreaming, astral projection, the void, or shifting. But please make sure to say: “I’m pure consciousness.” and “I’m pure awareness.”
For shifting specifically: if possible, try to imagine where you’ll wake up, sense the room, the atmosphere, how it feels, what’s around you. Think about what you’ll do when you wake up, what’s your plan for tomorrow, etc.
If you’re not good at visualization, that’s totally fine. Just try to stay awake for a bit, because the goal here is for your body to fall asleep while your awareness stays awake. You can remind yourself: “I’m pure consciousness.”
When you feel your current bedsheet, ask your mind: “How do you even know this is real?”
Play little tricks on your brain, because your brain doesn’t actually know what’s real. If you say “I’m there right now,” it’ll believe you. Say “I’m more than this body.” If you hear sounds or voices from your current reality, say: “It’s from my desired reality.” Or “How do I even know it’s real?”
Trick your mind!
You can also count to 100 if you want, and if you start mixing up the numbers, that’s fine! Just keep counting from a random number. You’ll probably notice yourself mixing up words or numbers while saying affirmations. When that happens, don’t overthink it, don’t try to remember where you left off, just continue from any random number or word.
You can move a little too, like turning to your side, that’s totally okay. Just don’t make yourself fully awake again.
At some point, your body will naturally fall asleep no matter how much you resist it. But please, don’t say “ugh, I can’t sleep” and turn off the subliminals, just let things be. Even if you get frustrated or feel like you can’t fall asleep, keep the subliminals on. (As I said, it doesn’t even have to be a subliminal, around one hour of audio is usually enough for your body to drift off.)
Because even when you think you’re not asleep, you actually are, your body will fall asleep, and your consciousness will remain aware.
At one point, you’ll have that dozed-off moment. If the subliminals wake you up, every time that happens (and make sure you set this intention before sleeping), remind yourself:
“I’m shifting right now.” or “I choose to shift.”
Don’t open your eyes, don’t stop the music, just go back to sleep.
At some point, your body will fall asleep completely, that’s basically the whole method. Whether you have a lucid dream, astral project, enter the void, or wake up directly in your DR, I don’t know, so just go with whatever feels right for you.
And if you get any symptoms I mentioned earlier, please don’t panic! Just tell yourself: “I’m safe. Shifting is safe for me, and I allow it.”
Don’t focus on the symptoms! Feeling like you’re flying, floating, or swaying is totally normal, there’s no earthquake. Just fall asleep again.
You can also set the intention to wake up directly there.
With Headphones Version: What I want you to do here is put on your headphones and start your playlist. (Make sure your headphones are comfortable and won’t bother you while lying down!) I recommend using 40–60 minute subliminals for this, but again, it really doesn’t matter what you choose! Just make sure there’s a bit of silence in between, long enough to help you fall asleep.
Once you’re lying down and the subliminals are playing, completely relax your body. Do not focus on subliminals! The important thing here is not to fall asleep right away (you will later, but not yet).
Just watch the darkness behind your eyelids, literally watch that darkness. While doing that, you can think or affirm things like: “I’m shifting.” “I’m already in my desired reality.” “I’m pure consciousness.” Say things like: “I’m freeing myself from ego, fear, and doubt.” “I accept and release them, and I allow myself to shift.”
Or anything else that feels comfortable for you. You can change the affirmations depending on your goal, lucid dream, astral projection, void, etc. But please make sure to say: “I’m pure consciousness.” and “I’m pure awareness.”
For shifting: if possible, try to imagine where you’ll wake up, sense the room, how it feels, what’s around you, and what you’re going to do when you wake up. If you’re not great at visualization, that’s totally fine, just try to stay aware for a while. The goal is for your body to fall asleep while you remain conscious.
I want you to feel like you have an important exam tomorrow, and it’s already 3 a.m., and you only have a short time left to sleep, that exact kind of feeling. Like when you’re half asleep but still alert enough to hear your alarm. That light, sensitive sleep where you’re aware of everything, that’s exactly what I want.
You can remind yourself: “I’m pure consciousness.” When you feel your bedsheet, ask your brain: “How do you even know this is real?” Play little tricks on your mind, your brain doesn’t actually know what’s real. If you say “I’m there right now,” it’ll believe you. Say: “I’m more than this body.” If you hear voices or sounds from your current reality, say: “It’s from my desired reality.” or “How do you even know this is real?”
Trick your mind!
You can count to 100 if you want, and if you start mixing up the numbers, that’s totally fine. Just keep counting from any random number. You’ll probably notice that while saying affirmations, you start mixing up words or numbers, that’s completely okay. Don’t think about where you left off or what comes next, just continue from anywhere.
You can move a little, like turning to your side, that’s totally fine too. Just don’t make yourself fully awake again.
At some point, your body will naturally fall asleep, no matter how much you try to resist it. But please, don’t say “ugh, I can’t sleep” and turn off the subliminals, just let it be. Even if you get frustrated or feel like you can’t fall asleep, keep them playing. (As I said, it doesn’t even have to be a subliminal, around 1 hour of sound is usually enough to make your body fall asleep.)
Because even when you think you’re not asleep, you actually are, your body will fall asleep while your consciousness stays awake.
At one point, you’ll have that dozed-off moment. If the subliminals wake you up, and make sure you set this intention before sleeping, remind yourself: “I’m shifting right now.” or “I choose to shift.”
Don’t open your eyes, don’t stop the music, just go back to sleep.
Eventually, your body will fall asleep completely, that’s basically the method. Whether you end up lucid dreaming, astral projecting, entering the void, or waking up directly in your dr, I don’t know, so go with whatever feels right to you.
If you get any of the symptoms I mentioned earlier, please don’t panic! Just tell yourself: “I’m safe. Shifting is safe for me, and I allow it.”
Don’t focus on the symptoms! Feeling like you’re flying, floating, or swaying is totally normal, there’s no earthquake. Just fall back asleep.
You can also set the intention to wake up directly there.
Oh, and when the silent subliminal or video starts playing, don’t say “wait, did my playlist stop playing?” and check it. (Yes, that’s from personal experience)
Also, if you shift to a version of your drself who’s already awake and standing, it’s actually easier to tell that you’ve shifted, you’ll clearly notice the difference between a dream, lucid dream, astral projection, and a full shift. So don’t worry about that!
This method can also work even if you don’t do it exactly this way. If you’re super tired, just sleep without thinking anything. (Seriously, if you’re about to fall asleep in a second, do NOT think about anything, just sleep.)
It also works when you wake up during the night! For example, I usually go to bed around 8–9 pm, and when I naturally wake up around 3–4 am,and go back to sleep while thinking “I’m shifting” with my playlist still on, it works perfectly.
What should I do if I lucid dream: If it turns into a lucid dream, people usually say to make a portal, but for me, just thinking about my dr was enough. Just tell yourself you’re shifting, and you’ll be there. The melting or spiraling feeling is totally normal, do not panic! (Also, to get out of the lucid state, you can shift to a random place first and then move from there to your dr, that was easier for me.)
What should I do if I astral/oobe: If it turns into astral projection, don’t panic, especially if you feel ear ringing, pressure, or your heart beating fast. Those are all normal. Keep telling yourself you’re safe! Spiraling sensations are also normal. If your goal is to shift to your dr, just think about it, you’ll get there. And believe me, you’ll have plenty of time to think, so stay calm. DO NOT PANIC. You’re not actually feeling those symptoms in your physical body. And even if it is astral, if you say “I want to shift to my dr” you will.
What should I do if I get into the void: If you see light or lights, focus on one of them and follow it, it’ll keep growing, and you’ll find yourself in the void. From there on, do whatever you want! I’ve never shifted from the void, but probably just thinking about your dr will be enough. (And don’t forget to remind yourself that you’re safe and calm!)
I successfully shifted but my vision is blurry: If your vision is blurry (like you’re looking through frosted glass) when you shift or if you can’t feel all five senses, don’t freak out, stay calm and don’t think about going back. Focus on your breathing, touch something hot or cold, or gently pinch yourself (not hard enough to hurt) that’ll help you ground yourself there. (I still haven’t shifted to my dr, I did shift once, but I freaked out, didn’t ground myself, and ended up in a random reality before realizing I was in my dr. That’s why I don’t ground myself to random realities, but people say it helps, so if you shift, and you probably will, you can try it!)
If you ever feel panic like “it’s too real, how do I come back?”, don’t say you want to return. Just remind yourself: “I’m safe, I can return whenever I want.” Also, be open to random shifts if you want! Just to prove to yourself that it’s real (it’s honestly funny, you should give it a try).
Ps 1: If I forget to mention something, I’ll edit this post later, no point in making you wait longer! And if you have any questions, please use the ask box since I sometimes miss the comments.
Ps 2: I worked really hard on this post, so I really hope you’ll shift, otherwise, I’ll haunt you and make you shift. (I want everyone to experience shifting! Even if we have the same s/o, everyone deserves to feel it! And technically, we are shifting at any moment unintentionally, so shift intentionallt this time!) Especially try it on 11.11, please! And if it doesn’t work on your first try (which it probably will), please give this method a few more chances. Try again after some time, because methods don’t make you shift, they just help.
This one, though, isn’t really a method, it’s more like a tool that helps you catch that thin line between sleep and wakefulness more easily.
Try it in different states: when you’re super tired, fully awake, or somewhere in between, adjust it to what feels best for you!
Thank you so much for reading and waiting for this post! And I truly appreciate you for trusting me.
