Solving your shifting problems <3
If you're new to my blog, hello! I'm Jules. I started my shifting journey three years ago now and I made this blog to talk about my personal shifting journey, share ideas, have fun...and help of course!
Shifting, if you're new, is not as complicated as you think. But if you've been struggling no matter what, I think there are three main issues about it. Now, this doesn't mean that you've been starting your shifting journey in the wrong way and that's how it will be, no shifting journey is "wrong". But, as we get deeper into the topic, you'll understand what I mean. This, is all based on personal experience.
First issue: feeling it foreign
What do I mean by "feeling it foreign" ? When I first started my journey, I kept thinking about it as something outside of me, like something foreign instead of familiar. For example, while I'd write my script I thought about it as "Yes, that's definitely what Julian would do", basically thinking about the other version of myself as an outside character. The thought came out naturally, and it's normal if you think that too, don't freak out about it. If you see it as something outside of you, it's probably what is slowing your journey. Your desired self is just you, maybe with other qualities and skills and traits, but it's still you, the one who reflects your needs, desires and wishes. I like to feel it as something warm deep inside of me, I am Julian, it's my identity and it's who I am and I already achieved that version of myself because it was always there, I didn't discover it recently or create it, it was always there.
So, what should you remind yourself?
You should remind yourself that that part of you always existed before, it always had and it is not waiting for you to reach it. You already did reach it, because it was always there in the palm of your hand, inside you or think about it as you want. All you need to know about it is that it was always part of you, hell, born within you.
Here's what, there are no damn rules. There are no rules in shifting, why would something irrational and out of logic need rules, ever thought about that? No, you don't need to chug down a liter of water. No, your "limiting" beliefs don't stop you. No, you don't need to follow a certain procedure to succeed. Sure, methods may give you a pattern that can orientate you in the realm of reality shifting, but you are the one who makes the rules, you're the one that allows or not yourself to follow them, or conform them.
You can shift however you want, you could put the simplest "rules" like "I can shift while asleep" though, you have to believe in them.
Third issue: the connection
Some might say that in order to shift you need to create a connection with your desired reality by associating emotions to it or acting like your desired self. Which is kind of idiotic because you already have a connection to it. As I said before, your desired self has always existed, you were born with it, you had a connection with it for the entire time! The way your desired self and your desired reality reflect your desires and feelings is already the connection you need to it. Why would you long for it, otherwise? You longing is already what links you to it, that nostalgic feeling, which isn't bad. If you think about it "nostalgia" literally means "the pain of returning home", you want to go back home and you long for it, and it's valid and it's what connects you to it.
You always had that connection all along.
These are all the tricks that helped me (again, personally) with my shifting journey. They're basic, but all that I needed to click the right button in my head. Take it easy, your desired reality is closer than you think. <3
