(Hey, this is something I wrote/did six months ago for Amino. It should be noted that I originally intended to redo this poll three months later, and have it be an ongoing thing to see if the temperature changed, but I never got around to it and now Amino is dead. RIP Amino, you were both a terrible and wonderful place.)
hi! i'm ittta, and i like statistics a little too much. here's your obligatory ânerd talkâ warning. i do think this is a genuinely fascinating topic and i hope you find it interesting too!
i polled four separate amino communities (amino IDs below) with the question âhave you shifted yet/using what methods?â with 53 total participants. I checked, and to the best of my knowledge there were no duplicate votes.
đ ShiftingYourReality (10 participants)
đ Desired-Reality (3 participants)
đ TheRavenMethod (17 participants)
đ RealityShifting (23 participants)

the two who voted âotherâ left these comments on the poll:
I always tried sleep methods since I can't understand how anyone can shift when wide awake. For 2 yrs I tried, and then one day middle of the day, I was sitting on my bed watching a non shifting related vid on YouTube. I glanced up at my bedroom door and felt my self (soul? My ghost? Awareness?) suddenly get yanked/jerked/pulled toward the door and a second later I was standing outside in my DR. My s/o was about 10-15 feet away from me just studying me. I remember how the air smelled and felt different than the air here. But about a minute or two later I felt that same jerking/yanking and I was back on my bed here.
The other reality was as real as this one is. And I've not been able to shift since for one reason: I wasn't thinking of shifting. I didn't prepare. I didn't plan. Mind was on something totally unrelated. So I successfully shifted doing a "do nothing at all" method. It was spontaneous. So I can't simply repeat/copy that in order to shift again lol. Just gotta live my life and hope the next spontaneous shift is where I'll stay longer or permanently there. But now that I know first hand that I can shift my awareness to be actively aware from my DR selfs pov, and now that I know what the actually shift feels like "a jerking/pulling feeling', I relax and know it'll happen again when it's meant to.
i shifted quite randomly, so i honestly don't really know! sometimes i shift while awake, and other times i shift asleep. however, i do notice that when it comes to shifting awake, im never fully conscious. like im either in a meditative state or spacing out when it happens.
edit: also forgot to mention! i no longer use any methods. i just do whatever i feel like doing now, which gives me better results compared to before.

đ, who voted âyes/sleepâ, elaborated that
I have shifted before with asleep methods just because it works best for me. i have used the lucid dreaming method where you lucid dream and make a 'portal' or 'door' in which you go through and the third eye method in which you focus on your third eye and your energy. (these are from personal experiences)
Iâm most successful when Iâm not trying >_> itâs only happened when Iâm asleep

talking about the numbers
*for random number crunching, the 2 âotherâ votes will be ignored, for a total of 51 data points.
of the 41 votes in the âsleep methodâ category, 61% aren't able to consistently shift. the 10 âawake methodâ votes are evenly split 50/50.
80% of participants use sleep methods most often.

this isn't a large enough sample size to make any determination about what the most âeffectiveâ method is. while 53 points of data is fairly reasonable, the relatively small amount of data for awake methods (only 10 points) means that the 50% statistic isn't very reliable.
additionally, the restrictions on amino polls meant i couldn't make categories involving minishifts, which i originally intended.
take all this information however you'd like! just thought the data was interesting. I'll be back in a few months to try this again ;)
(...obviously that did not happen.)
