all the ways i like to shift fr
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.)
i hope that this can give y’all motivation and help you to recognize that you can shift however you want! i have so many techniques and i genuinely just try what feels right in the moment. this doesn’t even include me simply saying “i’m shifting tn” and letting it happen bruh. also notice that the things i try sorta have a pattern. that’s because i know imagining and visualizing and affirming work for me!! and the reason it works??? because i’m actually doing shit i WANT to do. don’t take these techniques unless you like doing them. don’t force yourself to copy me just because it worked for me. only try em if you’re truly curious and like how they feel intuitively. thank yaaa and happy shifting xx
