a shifter, tarot reader, theta healer, spiritual person and thinker who loves exploring the space between consciousness and reality. also pharmacist in her cr. here i share my own theories, experiences and reflections about shifting, awareness, and the deeper layers of the mind. this blog is entirely based on my personal thoughts and journey.

if you’re someone who questions, feels, and believes all at once, you’ll probably feel at home here (i hope so? this is a safe place for every shifter/manifestor)

i’ve been on this journey for a while now and have already manifested many things, even physical appearance changes, so i’m super excited to connect with others who are walking a similar path!

and if you have any questions feel free to use my ask box! (as long as i'm comfortable answering, of course) i'm trying to help as much as i can!

but i don't want people to think like i'm super powerful, full of knowledge or anything like that I'm some kind of guru. i'm just a girl on her own journey like everyone else, learning, searching everything and sharing her experiences and theories along the way!

you don’t have to agree with everything I say, some parts might not fully click for you, and that’s okay! you don’t have to believe every single word. what matters is how you interpret and use what i share according to your own beliefs. (you don't even have to use them or interpret at all!) i can only offer what i’ve experienced and what i believe, it’s up to you to make it your own.

happy manifesting and shifting!

I'd be really curious about your take on this^^

Hi anon! :)

Hope you're doing well too!

Thank you for asking this question actually, because there are a lot of misunderstandings surrounding lucid dreaming and shifting. It's definitely something I want to make a more detailed post about when I have the time. But to answer your question for now, I don't really see it as just an assumption.

I've questioned this a lot myself. It all started with one question: Why do my dreams become more vivid every time I seriously try to shift? Why do I suddenly start remembering dreams I'd completely forgotten? I actually made an entire post about this, along with several related posts. If you'd like to dive deeper into the topic, I'd definitely recommend checking this post out.

To me, there's a significant difference between a regular dream, a lucid dream, and shifting. At this point, dreams don't feel that different from reality anymore, because I've come to see this reality as a kind of dream too. Let me explain what I mean by that.

For me, it all comes down to consciousness and the subconscious. At your core, you exist as pure consciousness, pure awareness. Across every possible reality, that's the only thing I consider fundamentally real. But when you haven't fully realized that, when you haven't remembered your true nature as pure awareness, your subconscious continues to shape and direct your experience. The dreams you normally have are reflections of your subconscious. I like to think of the subconscious as a black box. In fact, just last night I had a dream that was almost lucid, and it was heavily influenced by my subconscious, so answering this question now feels especially fitting. From my perspective, before you're consciously aware of shifting, wherever your subconscious "throws" you is where you experience what you later call a dream, without consciously grounding yourself there.

This is where shifting practice changes things. To me, practicing shifting is really about remembering who you truly are, that you're pure awareness. The moment you begin realizing that, the boundaries between the different layers of your consciousness start becoming thinner. In other words, you gradually begin gaining awareness of, and eventually influence over, your subconscious. You're becoming aware of awareness. You stop seeing consciousness and the subconscious as two completely separate things.

So what does a lucid dream represent to me? I think a lucid dream represents a state where the layers of consciousness have begun to thin, but you haven't fully taken control yet. You can influence that reality to some extent, although it still feels a little hazy, and you know you'll eventually wake up (unless you choose to ground yourself there instead). The transition between a normal dream and a lucid dream is incredibly subtle too. If I don't shift while I'm lucid, I often slip right back into an ordinary dream. There's a very fine line between the two states.

And yes like you mentioned labeling absolutely plays a role. If you believe you're "just dreaming" then that's how you'll experience it. But personally, I see lucid dreaming as the stage where the layers of consciousness are becoming thinner and you're gradually beginning to take control.

To me, shifting is the point where you're consciously directing your awareness. I don't want this to be misunderstood, I'm not saying shifting is just a dream. Rather, I think we've been taught to experience reality through the lens of a subconscious that's operating automatically, without realizing our true nature. But you're much more than this single reality. Consciousness is you, and so is your subconscious. The moment you learn to consciously work with your subconscious, your experience of reality begins to change. At that point, you start realizing that what we call "reality" and what we call a "dream" may not be as fundamentally separate as we've been taught. You begin seeing dreams as realities too. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that clearly, but that's the best way I can describe it. (Interestingly, some philosophical and spiritual traditions also describe this life as a dream and suggest that death is like waking up from it)

So to me, lucid dreaming represents the gradual thinning of those layers of consciousness, the removal of one more layer, allowing you to become partially aware and partially in control. It's almost like making choices within a reality you didn't consciously choose to enter. Instead of deciding "I'm going to dream about this" you suddenly realize you're already inside the dream and begin directing what happens next.

Let me ask you something: Do you remember the exact moment you first became aware in this reality? Do you remember the precise instant you were born into consciousness here? Probably not. And you don't remember the exact moment your dreams begin either, do you?

That's exactly what I'm talking about :)

I really tried my best to explain it clearly, and I hope it made at least some sense!

And if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time!

Happy shifting!

A question that has been stuck in my mind when it comes to manifesting certain things in this current reality like waking up with my desired appearance, waking up with money in my closet is if those manifestations are happening instantly or if those manifestation occurs by way of one shifting to a timeline/reality where one already has what they want?

Some would say you’ll shift to a reality where you already had that particular manifestation but if that’s so, is that manifestation itself real? As in will other people in your current reality be able to see/notice the appearance change that you’ve manifested overnight since you have essentially shifted to a timeline/reality where you already have the appearance change? Is the change real or it’s just in our heads?

I know everything that we put in our awareness/consciousness is real within itself, but would others see it as real as well if they were to see you physically in real time? Even when it comes down to revising certain outcomes like death of a loved one in this current reality?

I feel like you’re really genuine and passionate about what you say and do on here, I am really hoping in receiving an honest response that’s not sugarcoated! <3

Hi anon! :)

Okay, so first of all, everything I'm about to say is entirely based on my own opinions and personal experiences, so please just take what resonates with you.

Everything comes down to your own perception of reality. What is "real" to you? How do you define reality, and how do you become aware of it?

I believe manifestations happen instantly. There isn't really such a thing as a manifestation "not existing" because everything already exists right now. The only difference is that you're either not aware of it yet or you're perceiving it differently. Think of it like a glass that's half full or half empty. You can say it's half full of water, or you can say it's half empty. Which one feels true depends entirely on what you're focusing on.

Personally, I don't see manifesting and shifting as two separate things. To me, they're essentially the same process. In fact, years ago before I even knew what shifting was, I remember learning about it for the first time and immediately saying to my friend "Then manifesting is basically shifting too" That's honestly how I've viewed it ever since. Separating them into two completely different concepts has never really made sense to me.

Waking up with your desired appearance overnight is possible. Waking up with crystal clear vision in an instant is possible too, even if it only happens in a single moment. Every action you take is already a shift in itself. Think of the butterfly effect. The fact that you chose to ask this question instead of not asking it created another version of reality, more accurately both of them exists but you chose to focus on asking. Every faster breath you take, every tiny decision you make, already corresponds to another reality. Everything already exists exactly as it is. Whether you're aware of it or not, every tiny action is constantly shifting you into another reality. (I don't know if you've seen Inception, but the moment the character realized something was different about his reality, it was because of the texture of the carpet. Everything else looked exactly the same. That's the kind of idea I'm referring to) Manifesting, to me, would be something like suddenly finding your own car waiting outside your house.

Now, there are two ways you could approach that example. You could manifest the money to buy the car, or you could manifest the car itself. Which one happens depends entirely on your own beliefs and preferences. Maybe you simply wake up and the car is yours. Maybe you win enough money to buy it. Maybe an unexpected compensation payment gives you exactly the amount you need. Maybe someone gifts it to you. There are infinitely many possible paths that all arrive at the same destination. The point isn't creating something from nothing, it's aligning with a reality where that outcome already exists.

So, to me, manifesting is essentially choosing the reality you're going to shift into. Your goal is having the car. The process of how you get the car is simply the version of reality you're aligning with. Even the idea of "this reality" isn't actually fixed. Reality changes constantly, even if it doesn't seem like it. You're continuously experiencing the version of reality you're perceiving. You've been told the average human lifespan is around eighty years. You've been taught that growing up follows a certain pattern. That's why your current experience looks the way it does. But every conscious and unconscious choice you make changes your reality. There isn't only one fixed reality, whether you're aware of that or not. Just yesterday, @hanashin and I noticed what felt like a tiny shift into a parallel reality because of a small difference in one of her posts, the only difference was that one version said "2" while another said "two" Whether or not someone interprets that the same way, moments like that remind me how our experience of reality can seem fluid. To me, reality naturally follows your thoughts and assumptions. That's also where the subconscious comes into the picture. Your subconscious determines how your manifestations unfold. Once you learn to consciously work with your subconscious, you begin shaping your own experience of reality.

So whether manifestation is "real" depends entirely on how you define reality. If reality, to you, is something fixed and unchanging, then your manifestations will unfold in ways that fit within that framework, for example, physical changes happening through events that seem logical, like eventually deciding to get cosmetic surgery. But if you no longer believe there's only one rigid reality, you'll probably start noticing that you're constantly moving through slightly different parallel realities.

As for whether the changes themselves are real, I can answer that from my own experiences. Again, it depends on what you want. If you want other people in your reality to notice those changes, they will. If you don't want them to notice, you'll naturally continue in a reality where those features have always seemed normal.

I used to be an extremely rational person (mostly denying my spiritual side actually) too, and I couldn't make sense of how sudden changes could happen. At one point, I casually started listening to subliminals without really caring much about them. Sometimes I'd listen, sometimes I'd forget about them completely. Ironically, the things I cared about the least, my skin tone and my nose, ended up changing the most. The changes were noticeable enough that other people commented on them. My grandmother constantly tells me, "You used to be so dark. I still don't understand how your skin became this light" (and funny, she calls me as snow white now) One day after I came home from university, my mom looked at me and asked, "Did you do something to your nose?" Those are the kinds of changes I'm talking about. In my reality, they became visible enough for other people to notice. But if I hadn't wanted anyone to notice, I believe I could have continued in a reality where I'd simply always looked that way from the beginning. So, to me, the change isn't just something happening inside your head. Other people experience it as real too if they're interacting with you physically.

Now, about revising death. Again, I don't see reality as a single rigid concept, it's fluid. Because of that, there are countless possible outcomes. You could manifest that the person's death was actually a misunderstanding. You could manifest that they never died in the first place. If it was an accident, you could align with a reality where the accident never happened, or where they only suffered minor injuries, or where what seemed impossible turned into a miracle. There are endless possibilities. Once again, it comes down to perception. Whoever that person is in this reality, they'll still be that same person in the reality you align with. From that perspective, while they continue living in another reality, your awareness continues there as well. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it clearly, but that's how it makes sense to me.

So the way you define your current reality completely changes how you view manifestation and shifting as a whole. My own perspective has changed over time too. I used to ask myself, "How could something like this even be possible?" But the more I questioned everything, the more every path led me back to the same conclusion: that there isn't only one fixed reality, and that at our core we are pure awareness. Every choice you make, every thought you think, aligns you with one of the realities that already exists, and your experience continues there until you eventually rediscover your true nature.

To me, then, this whole question ultimately comes down to one thing: Is your subconscious controlling you, or are you consciously learning to work with your subconscious? That's really the entire journey. If you believe your current reality is the only solid, objective reality, then naturally your manifestations will unfold according to that belief, and other people will perceive those changes within that framework too. But if you don't believe reality is limited to a single fixed version, then whether other people notice your manifestations or not simply depends on the reality you choose to experience.

I hope this was helpful, even if it might have made things a little more confusing. Like I said, these are simply the conclusions that make the most sense to me after my own research and experiences. No matter how many different perspectives I explored, I always arrived at the same place: that reality isn't singular, that we're fundamentally pure awareness, and that by learning to consciously work with that awareness, we can experience whichever reality we choose.

And thank you for saying that about my answers! I actually try very hard not to sugarcoat anything. Before I started this blog, I made one promise to myself: I would only speak honestly about things I've personally experienced, and I'd always do my best to stay objective about those experiences. Of course, you don't have to agree with my conclusions. What makes sense to me doesn't have to make sense to you, because these ideas are deeply personal and based on my own journey. I simply feel that whatever I learn is also something worth sharing, because I genuinely believe knowledge grows when it's shared. In many ways, this blog has also become a place where I continue getting to know myself. So you can trust that whenever I write something here, I'm being as honest as I know how to be.

And if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time!

Happy manifesting!

Happy shifting!

I'm quite new to your page and shifting in general. So I haven't seen many posts, apologizing beforehand if you've already answered this (I haven't seen it).

Have you ever felt anxiety regarding shifting? Maybe it's just me but I happen to feel a lot. Obviously shifting is real as a phenomenon. Though I often worry a lot whether this is something happening externally or internally? I tend to worry once I shift that it's something happening in my head and that I'm only wasting my time, not making my cr better and instead just going inside my head in a make believe world. Or not spending time with actual people in my cr.

I only have one life (that I KNOW of), scares me to spend that with possible NPCs in my head (only saying NPCs because unsure whether internal/external, etc) instead of people in my cr. Though dr people could be just as real.

Sorry if it's a stupid question😅 I do have a bit of existential OCD so maybe this is just me! Just thought I'd ask an experienced shifter.

Thank you for taking your time to read the questions!<3 I hope you had an awesome birthday!

Hi anon! :)

Then welcome! Both to the shifting community and to this blog!

And trust me, there's absolutely no need to apologize. I'm always happy to explain things. In fact, thank you for pointing out that you hadn't seen a post about this topic before!

I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about this myself. Is shifting something that happens purely inside our minds, or is it something external, just like this reality? There are a few posts I'd really like you to read first. After you've gone through them, if there's anything you don't understand or anything that still confuses you, could you come back and ask me? I think they might answer at least some of your questions.

Multiverse Theory vs. Consciousness Theory of Shifting – Which One Is Accurate?

Dismissing Shifting as Maladaptive Daydreaming

Quantum Transition of Your Awareness / Psychological Phenomenon

"Hallucinations" or Maladaptive Daydreaming?

Inception

Scientific Backing

"It's All in Your Head"

Aside from those posts, I also believe it's completely possible to improve your CR while still shifting. In fact, spending all your time trying to decide between the two might end up being a bigger waste of time than simply allowing yourself to explore both.

If I had to summarize the main idea behind all of those posts tho, it would be this: I don't think the question is as simple as "Is shifting internal or external?" Personally, I think consciousness and reality are far more interconnected than we usually assume. Whether shifting is moving your awareness through an existing multiverse, experiencing reality through pure consciousness, or something we simply don't have the scientific framework to explain yet, the experience itself remains meaningful. We still know very little about consciousness, and I don't think science, spirituality, and philosophy necessarily contradict one another. To me, they all point toward the same possibility: that we are more than just our physical bodies.

At the same time, I don't claim any of this as absolute truth. These are simply the conclusions I've reached after questioning everything from as many different perspectives as I could. In the end, I think what matters most isn't proving where shifting happens, but experiencing it for yourself and deciding what makes the most sense to you.

Because of that, I don't think you have to choose between improving your CR and shifting. They're not mutually exclusive. You can build a life you genuinely love here while still exploring shifting. Even if science someday explains it differently than we currently expect, the personal growth, joy, comfort, and perspective you gained from those experiences won't suddenly disappear. That's why I don't think you're "wasting your life" by exploring it.

It's not a stupid question at all! I've spent a long time thinking about this too, so I completely understand where you're coming from. But after all my questions and all my experiences, the conclusion I always come back to is this: I am pure consciousness. Everything is a reflection of my consciousness. Shifting is just as real as this reality. And if shifting were only a dream, or something happening solely inside my mind, then this reality would also have to be just a dream. At this point, I don't really see dreams and reality as being all that different anymore.

Thank you for asking your questions, and thank you for your kindness as well! I really did have a wonderful birthday :)

If you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time too, and have a lovely day!

Happy shifting!

Do you have any tips on balancing manifesting my dream life whilst still managing my current one in the meantime even if the life I want to manifest looks completely different? I’ve been in this overall journey for 4 years now and i am now 20 years old which is considered an adult to me and apart of me just feels behind because I expected to have had my dream life by now. I know I am considered an “young” adult but I don’t want to continue wasting years not living out my manifestations and my dream life whilst not really looking forward much to my current 3D life. I know the obvious answer would be to still live and enjoy my life currently in the 3D and I’ve been doing small forms of that like going on long walks, dressing up sometimes and etc. but even then there’s a limit to how fulfilled I would feel and would go right back to feeling empty and numb in my current 3D life. If I was like 40+ years old it wouldn’t hit as hard but because I am pretty young it does since I feel like I’m too young to be living the way I am living. The void state/loa and manifesting my dream life is all I literally think about 24/7. To be very honest, it’s all I really look forward to and get excited about in my day to day life and don’t know what would happen if I was to ever give up on those things and give into living my 3D life, doing what’s expected of me, going through the flow and continuing to feel numb and feel disconnected within myself. Is it delusional of me to view me using the void state/loa to manifest my dream life as my ultimate life goal/purpose or I need to stay more grounded?

Hi anon! :)

First of all, you're definitely not behind. I'm 24 myself, and if anyone here is "late" it's probably me lol. But jokes aside, I honestly don't think anyone, other than the influencers you see online who seem to have everything figured out at 20, actually knows what they want to do with their life yet. I don't even think there's such a thing as being "behind"

Everyone has a different path and different experiences, so some people figure things out at 20, while others don't until they're 30. As much as the world tries to make it feel like a race, I genuinely don't think there is one. Realizing that is important.

If this isn't the life you want to live, then you don't have to live it forever. But until your manifestations unfold, learning how to navigate your current reality can keep you from feeling stuck in the same loop. I'm saying this because I've experienced it myself. Yes, manifestations and shifts happen instantly. Once you decide, it's done. Setting your intention is enough. But I also know what it's like when your subconscious gets involved and you end up neglecting your current reality.

Years ago, I became completely obsessed with shifting. It was the only thing I wanted to do, and I ignored my CR entirely. Looking back, that really wasn't the best choice, especially during a period when I was already struggling mentally and had important exams to get through. I kept telling myself I was going to shift any day now.. and then I actually shifted maybe two years later lol. Of course, if you want to, you can always revise your outcomes too. Every possible version of you already exists right now.

After that period, I went through a huge mindset shift, especially after starting this blog. My perspective, mindset completely changed. Instead of treating my CR as something I needed to ignore, I started seeing it as a temporary side-quest reality where I simply complete missions. Everything I needed to do became something that would give me XP, help me level up, and move me closer to where I ultimately wanted to be. Once I started looking at it that way, the things happening here somehow became both less significant and more meaningful at the same time. Instead of seeing this reality as something chaining me down or something I had to escape from, I began seeing it as something I could simply experience.

I also started setting goals for myself here. Some days it's still difficult, and there are definitely times when all I want to do is lie in bed and scroll through reels. But I began treating even small tasks as steps toward my bigger goals. Replying to messages, for example, is incredibly difficult for me sometimes. But I noticed that once I replied, my mind felt much lighter, so I started doing it anyway. I studied when I needed to study. I'd throw in a few affirmations here and there, and sometimes I'd even listen to subliminals while working so I could kill two birds with one stone. That way I was completing my CR responsibilities while also feeling like I was rewarding myself by making progress toward shifting or manifesting, whatever you personally prefer to call it. It made me much more motivated, and it actually made me excited to keep trying in the following days.

Honestly, I don't think thinking about shifting/manifesting 24/7 is a bad thing, and I don't think it's delusional at all. Personally tho, I found the most peace once I found balance. So while you're manifesting, try making little lists of things you need to do. Tell yourself that once you finish a task, you'll shift. Tell yourself that after completing another task, one of your manifestations will come true. It can be something as simple as replying to one email! I'm not saying you need to spend hours working on your current reality, just enough to make your mind feel lighter.

So overall, I'd recommend seeing your CR as a place where you complete side quests, earn XP, and continue growing, you're here to experience. I think looking at it that way makes it much easier to handle the things you need to do while still leaving plenty of space for shifting/manifesting. That's the balance that worked for me.

And most importantly, know that you're not doing anything wrong. I think we've all gone through periods like this, and many of us still do. Constantly thinking about shifting isn't the problem. But if constantly thinking about it starts making you anxious or makes you feel like you're somehow doing something wrong, then maybe it's time to make the process feel a little more enjoyable. At least for me, that was what brought the biggest sense of relief, getting my responsibilities out of the way and then shifting with a clear and peaceful mind.

I hope this was able to help, even a little!

And if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time!

Happy manifesting!

i recently recieved two short tarot readings where i asked if i’ll ever have a physical glow-up because i just wanna be pretty and have my dream face, and while i appreciate the readings and liked the message behind it, the readings basically said that i just need to work on my confidence and dont try to make changes about my physical looks, and that i’ll basically not have a glow up in the way i want, and it just made me sad so i wanted to ask if readings are set in stone or if i can still have a glow up regardless of what they said?

i’ve recently started trying manifesting with subs but i worry that this will make me think that my desires aren’t gonna happen and i won’t change what i want

Hi B! (I guess? Omg, please let me know your name! The last time you asked, I guessed it was B, but I wasn't 100% sure) :)

Hope you're having a great week too!

Before I explain everything in detail, I just want to say one thing first: anything is possible. Anything.

Just because a tarot reading says something doesn't mean that's exactly how things have to unfold. I wanted to get that out of the way first. Now, let's get into it.

Tarot readings are highly subjective and can vary from person to person. They depend not only on the reader but also on your own subconscious. Tarot can offer guidance, but it doesn't provide absolute certainty. When circumstances change, when you change, the cards can change as well. So just because a reading suggests something right now doesn't mean you're incapable of having a physical glow up.

I don't know if you've heard of the concept of neuroplasticity before, but if you haven't, I'd really recommend looking into it. Your brain adapts to what you repeatedly believe and reinforce. If you convince yourself that the tarot reading is absolutely fixed and that you'll never glow up, then that's the reality you'll keep reinforcing for yourself. But if you recognize that tarot reflects the current state of things and that both you and your circumstances can change, then that's the reality you'll begin moving toward instead.

You also don't know how accurately the reader interpreted the cards. I'm not saying they necessarily read them incorrectly, but why place more trust in someone else's interpretation than in your own intuition? That's the point I'm trying to make. And once you become more confident, once your mindset shifts and your circumstances begin to change, the cards would naturally reflect something different too. They're not a permanent sentence. In many cases, believing a prediction without questioning it can become a self fulfilling prophecy.

As someone who's gone through one of the biggest glow ups of my own life, I can honestly tell you that it's absolutely possible. Confidence is definitely a huge part of it, but it's not the only part. Physical changes are possible too. I'm saying this because I've personally noticed visible changes in my own face over time, even things like my nose appearing smaller.

So trust me when I say that you are the one guiding your body. You influence every cell within it. Just because someone else, or a deck of cards, or anything else, says that something isn't possible right now doesn't mean it can never happen. In fact, the very fact that I'm answering your question and you're reading these words means circumstances have already changed, even if only slightly :)

There's already a version of you that has the reality you're wishing for. The only thing left is realizing that it exists. So don't let yourself spiral over this. It's completely possible to manifest the life, or even the appearance, you want. Want to wake up looking different one morning? Deal. It doesn't even have to be a long, drawn out process if you don't believe it has to be.

So, in short: you're the one in control of your body in every sense. Build your confidence because that's always a good thing, but remember that the moment you change, your circumstances have already started changing too. And when the circumstances change, so do the outcomes.

Now go get that glow up, and when everything turns out the way you wanted, come back and tell me about it! Let's celebrate it together.

And if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time. Have a lovely day!

Happy manifesting!

Okay so before I start: if you've read most of my posts, you've probably noticed that I'm a very "but why?" and "but how?" kind of person. I keep asking questions until I find an answer that satisfies me (I just really love connecting different ideas together)

If you've seen my previous post, you already know that I started thinking of dreamless sleep as an unconscious void state, dreams as unconscious shifting, and shifting itself as simply making the unconscious conscious. Honestly, that explanation has been making more and more sense to me lately.

At this point, I genuinely don't know if I'm manifesting him or if he's manifesting me. 😭🧍🏻‍♀️

I wanted to talk about something in my shifting journey

I never shifted, and I've been trying for years now, I had some strange experiences while trying but never fully "woke up" in my dr

And yes I know that you say "but we shift every time" cuz every choice you make is a different path you take, yada yada and all those things

I get all the theory behind it but never fully got the vip package lmao

I gave up so many times and went back at it as much but now I've been taking a break for a really long time and wanted to give it a try again.

But as an overthinker I might be failing again due to my mind.

So this is why I'm reaching out.

What would you suggest if I had to start over? Like if I didn't have all the doubts I had in the past, all of the stuck moments on the wrong things.

Let's say I am new to this and want to approach with the right state of mind, do you have any tips to give? Or I shouldn't try from zero?

Because I tried everything (from meditation, to astral projection, even witchcraft and gods work (I still love Hekate as if she was my mentor but something about religion and all those intangible things feel unnatural to me))

I got to a point where I know deep in my heart when I don't believe in something because I can feel it, but I still try to accept it as if I was lying to myself.

It's not that I don't believe, it's the fact that all those negative tries kept digging in my heart and mind and so I felt it was harder and harder each time.

But even if I feel this way I'm still here.

And I don't want to feel this way so I want to start again with a different approach.

I always crave understanding but that made it worse, each time I tried to make something make sense, it didn't make sense. But still kept a fascinating attitude.

You don't need to believe in shifting in order to shift.

But I still want to make the path straight, clear, steady and not bumpy and slippery.

How could you do that if you always say "the moment you let go and stop controlling is the moment it will happen"?

At first to me shifting was a way to escape reality, hide myself in a comforting reality but that made me alienate myself from this one and I hated it, then i started to heal a part of me, I tried to find peace of mind and balance. It got better and now I'm trying to live my life.

But I'm a dreamer and I want to experience all those "what if"s.

Btw I'm just yapping at this point, you get the message.

I'm just so discouraged and I want to do it right this time.

Ps. The only bug thing that happened to me is something I manifested into this reality

In my DR i'm a concert photographer for my favorite band and few weeks ago the singer did a solo show where I live and managed to get photo pass to photograph her! After 14 years of listening to the band and dreams of taking photos of them (and trying to shift for this reason) I managed to live a glimpse of the life of my drself.

It still feels unreal.

Hi anon! :)

You’re my very first favorite anon, right? I think you were the one who sent this ask too, weren’t you? I remember the photo conversation! It’s so nice to see you here again!

I’m trying to do okay, thank you. I hope you’re doing even better than I am!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

I think instead of answering this ask all at once, I’m going to reply to it piece by piece. This time, I’m not going to tell you "but we shift every time" Instead, I want to talk a little about my own failures.

When I shifted for the very first time, it had already been six years. My first shift was to a completely random reality, and I came back before I could even ground myself because I was terrified. It felt too real. After that day, shifting became a little frightening for me. (I don't want this to be misunderstood. I'm not saying it's scary in a negative way, I'm just trying to say that once you prove to yourself how real it is, reality itself suddenly starts feeling overwhelming. I hope you know what I mean.) Because of that, I never fully woke up in another reality. Instead, I always treated astral projection as a stepping stone. Sometimes, while astral projecting, I'd randomly shift somewhere else. Other times, I'd shift through lucid dreams. But I never chose to simply open my eyes in another reality and continue living there, because I needed to feel like I was still in control. That's how I learned to manage the process. I kept experiencing shifting, but I never chose to wake up somewhere else the way I wake up here. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, I'm saying it because that's the best way I can explain how incredibly real it is. For me, opening my eyes in another reality would mean completely leaving my comfort zone behind.

What I'm really trying to say is that this journey doesn't have to be perfect. Even the things you consider "small" aren't actually small at all. The process of shifting is incredibly valuable by itself. Until you experience it for yourself, it can feel like you're holding onto an impossible dream. Yet somehow, despite all of that, you keep trying for years, and every tiny sign, every little experience becomes proof that you're getting closer. Even that alone is beautiful. You found shifting. You remembered your true self. And you're taking action, or at least trying to. Whatever you're doing, you're still trying. And that, honestly, is worth so much.

If you were someone starting from absolute zero, my advice would simply be this: enjoy the process. Don't try to make shifting perfect. Just enjoy it. The more you accept the small moments, the easier the entire journey becomes. And honestly, I wouldn't even tell you to focus on reaching your DR. I'd simply want you to prove to yourself that another reality exists. That's exactly how I did it. (If you were starting from absolute zero, I'd convince you that shifting is actually very easy and that you're already capable of doing it. That's exactly how one of my friends shifted! On her very first attempt, to her own DR! Because I convinced her she could. I kept telling her, "If you try, you'll shift so easily. You'll probably do it on your first attempt." And she did. But because I spent six years trying before I experienced my first shift, the advice I give now is different: enjoy the process. It makes the journey so much lighter.)

Sometimes we try so hard to make everything perfect that the moment it isn't perfect, even starting becomes exhausting. It turns into an obligation. At least, that's how it was for me. I couldn't even decide which reality I wanted to shift to. I couldn't properly create a DR. And honestly, I'm like this in my everyday life too. I spend so much time planning that I never start until the plan feels perfect. Then later I realize that if I had simply started instead of planning, I would've already been several steps ahead.

I don't think you need to start over from scratch. I think you just need to change your perspective. Imagine you're standing in front of a wall while wearing blinders. All you can see is the wall in front of you. But if you took just one step to the side, you'd realize there's a beautiful ocean view through the window. The only reason you think the wall is all there is, is because you've never stepped sideways.

Change your perspective. Maybe make your first goal something as simple as remembering your dreams. Or becoming aware that you're pure consciousness during the day, while brushing your teeth, breathing, reading this post.. simply noticing yourself. Or maybe your goal is seeing angel numbers like 111, finding a feather on the ground, making your dreams more vivid.. Start with the little things. Did you almost shift? Great, that's progress too! Learn to enjoy those tiny moments because they're often the things that prove nothing is ever truly a coincidence. And the more you convince yourself that they're signs, the more convincing they become.

Don't try to do everything perfectly. Shift anywhere, literally anywhere, just to prove to yourself that it's real. (You might be thinking, "I can't even shift yet, how am I supposed to shift somewhere random?" But trust me, shifting often becomes much easier when you stop caring so much. You simply need to remind yourself that you're pure consciousness. Personally, I think the easiest way to do that is by remembering your dreams and making them more vivid. At least, that's how it worked for me.) Once you're relaxed, you may realize it's much easier to end up somewhere random than to force yourself into one specific reality.

You don't have to have every answer right now. Even if you think you've tried everything, there are still things you've never tried before. There are infinite possibilities. Even the smallest change to an existing method could become your method. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. It only has to make sense to you.

Turn inward. Find what works for you. Sometimes the most random things happen at the most random moments. Somehow, everything always seems to happen when you're at your most relaxed and least attached. (There was actually something else I wanted to mention here, but I'm so tired that I genuinely can't remember what it was. If it comes back to me, maybe I'll add it later!)

Shifting is something you can't truly believe in until you've proven it to yourself. No matter how well you understand the concept, convincing yourself isn't always easy because it's unlike anything we've been taught. So if I could give you only one piece of advice, it would be this: shift anywhere. Don't wait until everything is perfect. Chase the little symptoms you've already experienced, and don't force yourself into everyone else's expectations. You don't have to believe completely yet, but I know what it's like to slowly lose faith because nothing seems to happen. That's why your focus should be on anything, any DR, any symptom, any experience that helps convince you. Even something as simple as seeing 111. Tell yourself "Every time I see 111, I'm one step closer to shifting" You'll eventually realize that the more you positively convince yourself, the easier believing becomes. Focus less on what's missing, and more on what's already happening.

You don't have to understand shifting if trying to understand it only makes things harder for you. For me, understanding shifting makes the process easier because I'm constantly asking myself "But why?" That's just how my mind works. But if that isn't true for you, maybe it's perfectly okay if some questions simply remain unanswered.

Shifting can be a not so easy journey if you've been holding onto certain beliefs for a long time. Ironically, if you knew absolutely nothing about it, it might've been much easier. When someone genuinely believes something is easy, they can sometimes succeed on their very first try. But if you've already been exposed to years of misinformation and conflicting opinions, maybe clearing the thorns from the path first is much less painful than forcing yourself to walk through them.

I also think people often misunderstand what "letting go" really means. Letting go doesn't mean ignoring your desire or pretending it doesn't exist. To me, it means accepting it. The moment you accept that this path can be bumpy and slippery, and realize that every "failed" experience has actually brought you one step closer, you've already let go. It's not about forcing yourself to think the opposite. It's about accepting both the positive and the negative, while remembering that the journey is much bigger than either of them.

For many people, shifting begins as a form of escape. But once you start accepting everything, it slowly transforms into something completely different. It becomes a journey where every "what if?" suddenly becomes possible.

You don't have to do it "right" You just need to find what's "right" for you.

That's why I always tell everyone to discover their own truth. The only thing that truly matters is whether it feels right to you.

If I were you, I'd choose one sign. One affirmation. Repeat it for a few days until you genuinely start believing it, and then try again. Sometimes taking a short break instead of attempting every single day actually leads to better results.

Personally, I'd use everything I've learned over the years. Every time I saw 111, I'd tell myself "I'm one step closer to shifting" Throughout the day, whenever shifting crossed my mind, I'd repeat, "With every conscious and unconscious breath I take, with every blink of my eyes, I'm shifting to the reality I've chosen" I'd keep repeating "I am pure consciousness. I am pure awareness." And while genuinely enjoying the process, I'd use every tiny symptom and every little sign as positive evidence to strengthen my own belief.

Of course, that's simply what I would do. You should always do whatever feels most natural and right for you.

And look, even this is such a huge sign already! You've already received one of the biggest signs there is! What more could you ask for? Congratulations!

I hope I managed to explain what I wanted to say properly. My birthday happened in the middle of writing this, so I ended up working on it little by little.

And as always, if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time, have a lovely day!

Happy shifting!

Coincidence? Maybe. But I'm choosing to see it as his little "I love you, happy birthday"

And honestly.. I think that's one of the sweetest birthday gifts I could've received.

Hi anon! :)

Your question definitely isn't dumb at all! Actually, I really appreciate it because I truly believe that unconditional love is the only real love.

Now, if you're talking about romantic love specifically.. I might honestly be one of the last people you should ask :') I'm so career focused and such a perfectionist that the only thing I usually end up having is a situationship. But I can still share a few thoughts based on my own experiences.

Ask yourself why love isn't in your life.

Seriously.

Most of the time, not having a partner comes back to (once again) the subconscious beliefs we're carrying.

To use myself as an example, I don't have a relationship because, deep down, I don't want something that feels binding. My career goals are incredibly clear to me. I know exactly what I want, and I already have a plan for the next ten years of my life. Because of that, anyone who enters my life would have to support that path rather than hold me back, and honestly, I feel like that would almost be unfair to them. So, at this stage of my life, having a romantic relationship simply isn't my priority.

Ask yourself the same question. While you're in a meditative state, ask yourself:

"Why isn't love in my life?" "What can I do to invite love into my life?" "How can I make that happen?"

And most importantly, give yourself permission to receive it.

I've explained the process in more detail in another post, but the same method (finding the core belief) can be applied to almost any area of life.

One of the manifestation techniques I hear about most often is scripting your ideal partner. People write down every detail they can imagine: Do you want them to have brown hair? Colored eyes? To be generous? What career do they have? What's their personality like? They write everything out in detail and keep it somewhere.

I don't remember the exact method or where I originally saw it (it might've been Sammy Ingram, but I'm not completely sure), so I can't confidently point you to the original source. But if you search for scripting methods for manifesting your ideal partner, I'm sure you'll come across something similar!

Honestly, you might even get a better answer by asking @binniemyluvv They literally manifested someone who's almost exactly like their s/o!

Like I said, I probably won't have the absolute best advice when it comes to romantic relationships. To me, manifesting love isn't really that different from manifesting anything else. But I do think finding the root cause of why you believe love isn't present in your life makes the whole process much easier.

The biggest thing I've learned about love is this:

The more you love yourself, value yourself, and genuinely put your own self worth first, the more people who love and value you naturally begin to enter your life, whether that's romantic love, friendship, family, or any other kind of connection.

Because when your subconscious is the one running the show, whatever it believes about you is exactly what other people tend to reflect back to you. When you begin expressing yourself freely and authentically, life starts bringing you people who naturally validate and appreciate the version of yourself you're finally allowing to exist.

Everything is an experience, everything is a lesson. And every single one of those experiences exists so that you can eventually arrive at that love within yourself and fully accept it.

I don't know if I completely answered your question, but if you ever have more questions or if something feels unclear, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you for your time!

Happy manifesting!

First of all, don't forget that the night between July 29th and July 30th is considered a very lucky one! So go make all your favorite manifestations and go shift!

Sometimes I genuinely feel like I talk way too much.. like a LOT. The yapping sessions never seem to end 😭 (my real footage while answering asks)

2. do u believe in the concept of enligtenment? like do u think we might escape this cycle of life and rebirth?

Ty for your time:)

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this question!! (read with Lola Tung's voice)

Hi anon! :)

First of all, thank you so much for asking this question!

Second of all.. fasten your seatbelts, because I'm probably about to start from the beginning of the universe lol So this might, no, it will be a very long answer. (It took me about three days to finish writing this, and now that I'm finally done.. I think this might actually be the longest answer I've ever written. There was still so much more I wanted to say, but I didn't want to make it even longer. If anything feels unclear, if you think I didn't answer part of your question, or if you're left with more questions afterward, please don't hesitate to ask again!)
