I have been shifting for so, so many lifetimes. I've been in so many different bodies, lives, experiences. My husband and I have also taught all our kids about shifting.
You know what the difference is between shifters here, and my family?
The never-ending urge for you humans to look for proof. My dearest little sprouts, you know that I love you guys. You're dealing with your human brains, in a society that taught you so many toxic habits and feelings. It's not your fault at all, it will never be your fault. But please listen to me right now.
Every single day, I have people approach me with something along these lines, ''Hey Mason, I get so close to shifting, my whole body is vibrating and my heart is racing, but then I don't know what to do next and I don't shift.''
You want proof so badly. Some kind of indicator, something that reassures you that you're on the right path. And this is valid, I understand it. In no way am I saying that these type of ''symptoms'' cannot be a sign that you might be shifting. Because anything is possible, absolutely anything, and your beliefs create your reality. So if something feels right for you, it will be.
But you shouldn't depend on these feelings. You shouldn't depend on your body here when all you want is to leave it behind. Your heart beating out of your chest is as much of a shifting symptom as drinking water or falling asleep is.
It can be helpful, absolutely. For some people it might even be the key to shifting. But don't let these feelings make or break it for you. It's not the buzzing of your body that makes you shift, it's you thinking that it will make you shift that does the job.
And if you can shift in absolutely any way, without or without anything you might call symptoms. It is going to be favourable to feel calm and good, rather than bring yourself into uncomfortable positions just because you think it might make you shift.
Symptoms are fake. There is nothing that is more or less of an indicator of shifting than whatever you believe and decide might lead to you shifting.
That's not to say that you can't align with certain responses your brain or body might have, but you are still the one who decides that. Falling asleep within 2 seconds can be a symptom if you want it to be. Feeling stable and happy can be a symptom.
If you realise how much you are truly in control, you can let go of the feeling of not doing enough, or losing the moment. Because there is not ''one moment,'' you're just as close to shifting even after you are calm again.
