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.

Your method is godsend, I’ve been using it but only recently gotten the hang of it (I pair it with the reality/manifest/obsession trilogy subliminals by ziyouzizaii). However, instead of shifting, I only get lucid dreams. I’m not sure what to do to shift instead of lucid dream. I do get lucid dreams about things from my dr though, but I know it’s not a shift since as an experienced lucid dreamer, I know the difference between a dream and irl.

Inside my dreams I have tried shifting through portals and other methods, like affirming I am sleeping in my dr and this is a dream in my dr so I will wake up there. I’ve noticed any method I use to try and shift, sleep and awake alike, I just lucid dream. And when I try methods inside the lucid dream, I just end up being kicked out the dream and waking up back here. I’m not sure what to do, and I’m stuck since it feels like a cycle…

Thank you!

Hi!! Thank you! Im so glad that you find my advice useful!!! That's the whole point of why i do what i do and im very glad that i got to help you understand your journey better!! I looooooove lucid dreaming and i feel like it's not a topic we discuss frequently enough! For you personally it sounds like you have some mental expectations that are weighing you back from shifting inside of a LD. A lucid dream is just a very vivid VOID SATE of awareness. It's completely made up by you and therefore 100000% under your control. There's nothing there that can stop you aside from yourself. It's literally a god realm.

This is something that you have to come to understand if you want to reealllyyyyy lock in with your God powers in an LD. You can't go in it thinking from the mindset of shifting from your CR. You can't let failure exist because it's pointless. It's pointless to not believe in yourself when you're literally in the place where anything and everything can be true, yk? Changing your mindset inside of an LD is very easy. The only thing stopping us humans from changing our mindsets instantly is because our brains are wired to overthink & doubt.... but inside of an LD your brain isn't working that way! Once you say something, it is instantly true. Point blank period. When you're in an LD, don't expect to shift from your LD into another LD. Just know that you will shift to your DR, that you're already in your DR! Remember that the only way you can fail in an LD is if you create a failing outcome (and yes im speaking LITERALLY here - you LITERALLY have to tell yourself that none of that failing shit is true). It may even help to shout out rules into the dreamspace like, "I control this plane!" or "everything is under my control!" or "anything i want to happen happens here!" or something to your liking.

i think when people do shifting methods inside of their LD they expect them to be shifted by the method, when in reality you are one the shifting the method. The method is not shifting you. You are shifting. Don't put faith into the method. Put faith in yourself. See the method as the road, not the two feet walking you down it.

(coming from a procrastinator that often gets bored during attempts and STILL shifts anyway)

HI SHIFTBLR! I'm back with a big post.

So, I've been on tiktok lately and i've been seeing a lot a lot a LOT of people talking about how to awake shift and it really inspired me to speak on my experience because i don't really see that many people share their awake shifting experiences in detail.

Just for context, I use my own method to awake shift. It's fairly easy. All it takes is patience and some free time, that's all.

There's this girl on tiktok named Kas who PERFECTLY encapsulated my METHOD in a video but in way better words. She defined shifting as DISCONNECTION, IDENTIFICATION, AND RECONNECTION! That is exactly it! Most people get stuck on Disconnection and give up. I often get really bored before this part but trust me that's just your ego trying to stop you! Don't ever listen! You could live your dream life rn babes why would you quit?!?

So, THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO SHIFT WHILE AWAKE:

I meditate by breathing in like 2-5 times, sometimes i do it for longer but i find that if i do it for too long, i end up falling asleep. This step is important but it shouldn't be overdone because your body isn't even needed to shift.

i immediately start on DISCONNECTION. I tell myself "I am disconnected from my current reality. I am not this body / vessel" until i start to feel a little floaty.

After feeling floaty, i'm still feeling connected to my CR but i kinda ignore it and just skip straight to connecting to my DR SELF via identity affirmations.

Usually at this point i start to visualize where i'll wake up and sometimes i get so deep in it that i dont even have to do CONNECTION because i'll start hearing stuff from my DR or feeling stuff. Like if i'm petting my cat, i'll subtly feel her fur but like in my CR if that makes sense?? It's like i can FEEL it as my DR self but my CR self is feeling the sensations. I actually hate this because it feels like a game of cat n fucking mouse. Like whats the point of that "phantom" ass feeling? Just shift and feel it for real lmaoo!!

I'm going to try to explain this as best i can: When I shift while awake, it's lik the reality fades in. Like, I'm in my CR doing affs, and then all of a sudden i'm in my DR. . . there is no distinction of travel between the two. i'm just here one moment and then the next im in my DR. I can never predict the exact moment because it just happens and im not even really paying attention when it does. I just notice that i'm there, yk?

lately i've been getting bored after the feelings stop, so i just kinda give up :/ but i still hear stuff from my DR so i count that as a partial shift, aka shifting regardless!!!

((read this until the end. im not gonna answer desperate cryings from the asks cuz this is the MOST detailed SP post of mine. 🙂🥱))

hey Ladies & Gentlemen. Today im presenting to uou; how to induce sleep paralysis 100% foolproof method (sounds just like a telecommerical lmao) from a certified insomniac. (im awake for so long that i legit started to see furnitures moving) This actually wanted by an anon from my ask but to the guy/girl who sent me that..uh..i accidentally deleted your ask but donr you worry, youre looking at what youve asked for! So yeah long story short, these are foolproof CAUSE youre actually using your BIOCHEMISTRY as a pretty little human being and learn why these work. Let me introduce you to a few new terms, if youre unfamiliar with sleep cycles, sleep hormones, and othe biologic mechanisms. ive done my search well, as always. 😩😮‍💨😽🫦

First of all, theres something called a ''REM debt''. So you might ask me, ''Helene, tf is a rem?'' well, it stands for ''Rapid Eye Movement.'' Aka, a stage of sleep. It's the stage of sleep where ur eyes move rapidly, even when closed, and the brain is most active. You experience almost all of ur dreams during this stage. The brain processes, organizes, and stores info you learnt during the day in this phase. Etc etc. so for short, its what we call a regular sleep where you see ur dreams. Alright lets move onto the Rem debt again, its simple. Means you should get at least 2-3 hours of night sleep. Without WBTB, triggering this requires sliiiightly disrupting the brain and body's biochemical balance, particularly the melatonin and cortisol cycle. cuz u have to release these hormones.

Actually yeah, u can trigger this night time aka the first REM (not deep sleep, the actual dreaming phase) and it has a few ways. Firs lay down on a starfish (supine) position, and if u ask me why is ts position particularly? Pretty scientific. When u lie on your back, ur tongue is more likely to fall back, which can slightly hinder breathing. Your big beautiful brain perceives this slight shortness of breath as a "threat" and tries to wake you up suddenly. However, cuz ur body is in deep REM sleep, ur muscles remain locked, and you suddenly wake up in sleep paralysis. Et voilà. Also..the position might not be enough so..u should consider disrupting ur ''Circadian Rhythm'' and provide excessive fatigue.

The thing that leaves ur brain most helpless is the clash between ur excessively tired body and your overactive mind. Ruin your sleep schedule (worth it), sleeping very little during the week,, sleeping until noon on weekends, or constantly changing sleep schedules, etc etc, disrupts your circadian rhythm (aka what we call our biological clock). AND, when your bodys physically exhausted, ur brain may want to jump directly to the deepest stages or directly to REM the moment you lie down in bed (aka, ''REM rebound effect''). If your mind dosent completely shut down while the body locks up quickly, you may experience (hypnagogique) paralysis at the moment of falling asleep. These help you induce natural sleep paralysis 100%!!!!!

Aaaand the popular WILD technique yall probably heard of before. Ts is actually the first stage of the WILD (wake initiated lucid dream) technique, used to directly transition into lucid dreaming. The goal is to observe ur body falling asleep without ever losing consciousness. such a challange rigth? Lie on ur back, it's basically just keeping your body completely still while waiting for sleep to come. Focus on the shapes behind your eyelids or keep a steady rhythm in your mind (or count your breaths omg idk it works). Before falling asleep, ur body performs a "heyyy dude, are we awake?" test. Your nose may itch, you may feel the urge to swallow, or you may feel the urge to change position. You must completelyyyyy ignore all these urges and not move at all. If you do it, your body will fall asleep and lock the muscles, but your consciousness will remain awake. (GOLD STATEEEE)

i actually recommend staying up until the morning cuz like i said..YOUR REM DEBT!! you actually NEED that REM debt, but tyr not to go completely zombie. (i feel like a zomb rn) If u lack too much of sleep, your brain might force you into deep non REM sleep first to heal ur body, which we DONT want. We want that sweet lil REM Rebound state right away! (where lucid dreams and most of my shifting experiences happenned naturally) Your bodys biological clock releases melatonin in the evenings and cortisol (the wakey wakeyyyy / stress hormone) in the early mornings. The moments when these two hormones overlap are the most fertile ground for sleep paralysis.

tHATS EXACTLY WHY daytime naps could be IT! Its much easier to trigger sleep paralysis during a 30-45min nap in the afternoon (between like.. 2 to 4pm) or late afternoon, rather than at night. Cuz again, during the day, your cortisol and alertness levels are already high (its easy for the mind to stay awake), but ur body, exhausted from lack of sleep, quickly switches to sleep mode. While the mind says, "dawg i need to stay hormonally awake during the day," the body says, "no im leaving," and sleep paralysis occurs.

now, lastly. Its also a clever but a tad risky (guarantee sleep paralysis) ''method'': There are certain foods and habits that directly affect ur body chemistry and sharpen REM sleep....hell yeah..Heavy and carbohydrate /tryptophhan rich dinners. Eating something heavy, carbohydrate rich, or containing tryptophan (like bananas, dairy, turkey etc etc) 1,5-2hrs before bed creates a sudden sleep pressure. This quickly pulls your body down, making it difficult for the brain to truly fall into a deep and peaceful sleep because the digestive system is working. (evil laugh) Caffeine timing is also essential, folks, consuming it apprx 1,5-2hrs before bedtime makes it ''not fully eliminated from the body'' when u go to bed. Youre caught on that fine line between caffeine trying to keep ur mind awake and blocking adenosine receptors, and physical fatigue taking over and locking up your body.

2. Begin to feel the placement of everything around you in your DR bedroom using proprioception. Not visualising, just feeling and knowing that, "yes my bed is here and my closet is there, I am laying next to the open window, I can feel the breeze on my face..."

3. Accept that you are here right now, in your DR. Relaxing and taking a nap. Maybe you're laying beside your s/o, maybe you feel the bed move as they change their sleeping position. Just enjoy the relaxation and the feeling of peace that comes with it. Do you have a chore to complete later in your DR? You'll do it after this nap... you feel oh so comfortable. It would be a shame to get up... Now you're thinking like your DR self, role playing a nap. Which is good! Its what we are going for.

4. From here you have two options:

a) Actually fall asleep, and it doesn't matter where you wake up. What matters is that you were in your DR while you were sleeping even if you open your eyes to your CR, you know what you experienced.

Or

b) Open your eyes when you feel ready and no matter what reality you are seeing now, accept the fact that just now you were in your DR and you were taking a nap there.

Song Associated Shifting

On the days when shifting felt too overwhelming and methods were just more unwanted baggage, I would use music.

I would put on a floaty song, think Stray.wav, Let it happen, sdp Interlude, etc (all slowed and reverbed lol). Then I would close my eyes and pretend that the music was guiding me into my DR.

Either that or thinking that the music was levelling me up somehow and making shifting easier for me. I know it sounds silly but it genuinely worked. I would sit there thinking, "its working. I can feel myself shifting 🤩" Just using the music as kind of a power up.

It was fun too. I would get super into it and not even realise that I had shifted already. The only problem was that I would get startled and panic and then purposely shift back. Still working on that though.

No joke I shifted just by laying in bed with my eyes closed.

+ Bible speaks of 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

The ego is that "stubborn security guard" we encounter in spiritual practices, and especially in the shifting process. The Devil and the 4 Pentacles in the cards perfectly represent the ego's voice clinging tightly to this reality, saying, "this is who i am, i am here, and if i leave, i cease to exist."...

The ego isn't actually bad, its job is to keep you alive in this physical world. However, when u want to shift, that is, choose "another self," the ego perceives this as a threat (a kind of death) and resists. Overcoming the ego (or, more accurately, "persuading it to step aside" ) serves these; resetting the resistance. The "im fed up, i fell asleep, i tried, i stayed persistent but it didn't work" cycle youre currently experiencing is entirely a product of your ego.

The ego turns your shifting success into a "performance." If you ''fail'', it makes you feel inadequate. When you remove the ego, shifting ceases to be a "task" and becomes the natural state that it already is. Also, thr void is the only state where the ego is absent. The ego always craves a "label", "i am a college student," "im from there," "i am tired." To enter the void, you must let go of these labels. When u silence the ego, only pure awareness remains. In that state of awareness, transitioning to your DR is as easy as changing channels because the "self" anchor that binds you to this reality is gone.

The ego only believes what it sees. The biblical saying, "Blessed are those who believe without seeing," is for those who have transcended the ego. While the ego tells u, "Look, you're still in your room," your soul (or higher self) says, "im already there, DR." When u conquer the ego, you realize that your physical senses are lying to you. When you realize that the external world is only a reflection, you begin to create your reality from the inside out, like The Empress card from tarot.

''𝗇𝗈𝗋 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗒 𝗌𝖺𝗒, ‘𝖲𝖾𝖾 𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾!’ 𝗈𝗋 ‘𝖲𝖾𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾!’ 𝖥𝗈𝗋 𝗂𝗇𝖽𝖾𝖾𝖽, 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗄𝗂𝗇𝗀𝖽𝗈𝗆 𝗈𝖿 𝖦𝗈𝖽 𝗂𝗌 𝗐𝗂𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗇 𝗒𝗈𝗎.'' luke 17:21

If youre searching for another reality, it's not out there (in space or on another planet), it exists within your consciousness, in the "kingdom within." Shifting is not about moving from one place to another, but about turning your attention to another room within...

"𝖳𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾𝖿𝗈𝗋𝖾 𝖨 𝗍𝖾𝗅𝗅 𝗒𝗈𝗎, 𝗐𝗁𝖺𝗍𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝖺𝗌𝗄 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝗂𝗇 𝗉𝗋𝖺𝗒𝖾𝗋, 𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗂𝖾𝗏𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗁𝖺𝗏𝖾 𝗋𝖾𝖼𝖾𝗂𝗏𝖾𝖽 𝗂𝗍, 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗂𝗍 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 𝖻𝖾 𝗒𝗈𝗎𝗋𝗌" marcos 11:24

This is quite literally the basis of the law of assumption. He doesn't say "i will get it," he says, "believe that u have received it (past tense)." So, feeling like you're in your DR, imagining you're lying in that bed, that's exactly what it is. If you say "i will go," you'll constantly be the one who "goes but never arrives.".

And how to "deter" the Ego during shifting?

Talk to it. Before going to bed at night, tell to your ego: "we're safe rn, my body is resting here. im just going on a little exploration, i'll be back here when i return." Calming it provides that balance from the Temperance card from tarot. Let go of the "i" label, instead of thinking "i am (ur name, CR idendity, or your ''old self'')" during active shifting, imagine yourself simply as a light or a void. Aaand, surrender. Use the wisdom of the Death card. The moment you say, "if there's no shifting tonight, i won't die, it's not the end of the world," the ego lowers its guard. The ego strengthens when you value it highly. it shrinks when u say, "it doesn't matter whether it's there or not."...
