isla, darling,

listing out all the things i gotta do the next day (i’ve shifted like this before multiple times but haven’t used this method in a while, i should try it again it’s pretty fun! really good method for returning to a dr too since i already know what to expect)

getting engrossed in a daydream or scenario that makes me feel emotionally connected (this is how i shifted to my waiting room for the first time and had… relations… with my s/o(s) lmaoo 10/10 would recommend)

focusing on how much i miss my anchor person (in a lot of my drs i have my cr mom there or my dr siblings. but in the case that i dont, i usually still have a person who grounds me and is my lifeline. pretty much a person who i know i’m always emotionally connected to. i did this with storm in my x-men dr, just imagined her appearance since i had no face claim for her and shifted to see her.)

looking at my dr self in the mirror! (this is something i’ve used twice and though it didn’t get me to fully shift, i almost did both times. this is especially good if you’re great at visualizing. i really just imagine myself standing in the mirror and think about seeing my dr self reflecting back at me. i analyze my features, i get excited for having them, and i just really like looking at myself in general LMAOO so really good method for that.)

getting into a stream of consciousness and then focusing on senses. (i’ve talked about embodying the dr self for the last 2 years, that’s the method that i made up and it was pretty viral in 2024-early 2025, you can find details about it on here or tiktok or even twitter but basically you just think as your dr self until it becomes natural. start out asking questions and then answer them and then flow into the next thing. this method takes trust in your intuition. a lot of people asked me how they “know” they’re actually thinking as their dr self and not just making it up and to that i say, everything is made up within the world of shifting but if you’re connected to it and aligned it’s true. so believe it’s true!)

doing a dr recall (now this is a technique i only talk about with my friends fr but it’s always gotten me crazy good results even when i wasn’t trying to shift. basically i get myself relaxed or in a meditative state and “call in” my dr self to guide me through our life. i then begin with the very first detail about myself: my birthday, parents, location of birth and move in chronological order of everything i’ve been through. this is a longer method and i usually don’t use it for shifting but to gain downloads and connect with myself. if i get to a period of time that i can’t recall, i simply wait to see what intuitively comes up and that’s when the magic truly happens because i’m basically merging with my dr self’s mind and gaining memories through that. anywho, i love this one the most lowkey and it’s quite fun because i always come away knowing more than i ever thought i could.)

zooming into a particular scene while my mind is wandering (varying success fr because focusing too hard actually keeps me grounded here but usually done when i’m tired and already thinking of my dr naturally. i just loosely imagine myself zooming in. i don’t try to make the scene clearer or more vivid, it will do that itself. and once i get super close, my breathing kinda picks up so i affirm “i’m safe to shift.” and keep going until it happens. orrrr i give up and go tf to bed bc i’m already tired lmfao.)

no constant affirming, acknowledging & reacting to the 3d, no methods, no living in the end — just choosing my truth.

the first time i fully shifted all of my senses to another reality was when i leaned into the way i process the world. for context, i am an artist and i have crazy ADHD, which means 2 things. firstly, i think about visuals in terms of values, form, and color more than the average person. secondly, i often plan out my day in terms of looping a list over and over again in my head until i’ve accounted for all the tasks i need to do. these methods of thinking are something i do everyday very naturally.

i decided i would lean into this, as my DR self has similar patterns of processing and planning to my CR self. aka, we (i? idfk) both are artists and have ADHD. i disconnected from my body for a while, then concentrated on the way the morning light would be hitting my living room’s bright yellow couch while running back my list of tasks to do for the day in my head: “i’m going to finish my tea, get dressed, then head to the art store… wait no. i’m going to finish my tea, put my cup away, get dressed, go to the art store AND then the foreign student office… wait no. i’m going to finish my tea, put my cup away, get dressed, go explore that bakery down the street…” et cetera

this really mundane observation and particular train of thought shifted me all the way into my DR body! before, i had only gotten 2 out of 5 senses at a time. again, i’ll emphasize that the first time i ever fully shifted was when i played to my strengths instead of fighting myself and trying to affirm a bajillion times.

you don’t need to visualize if you can’t visualize. you don’t need to affirm if it bores you. you don’t need to imagine touching objects if you’re no good at that. you don’t need to force yourself. if you’re good at music, imagine picking out the notes for a song your DR self is listening to or playing an instrument. if you are a worrywart about the people you love, be a worrywart about your DR loves. if you like ragebating people, plan how you’re going to ragebait your DR friends and family lol.

shifting doesn’t need to be this painful thing where you reprogram the way you think about your identity and the universe and whatever else. it can happen as easily as one person going over their list for the day. i know because i did it and so can you.

nothing is incompatible with you because nothing exists outside of you.

the only thing making your desire seem distant is knowing yourself as someone who is waiting for experience to become something other than it appears to be.

you say your dream hasn't changed in two years, but awareness isn't measuring time or appearances.

you already are what you've been searching for. that doesn't mean you stop enjoying your desire. experience simply reflects what awareness is conscious of. happiness has never depended on appearances changing first.
