Sera's Shifting Hits

when people tell you to look within to find the answers, they’re not telling you to wait for a voice or a response to appear.

they’re pointing you away from searching and toward recognising.

instead of trying to “get” the answer to shifting, it’s more like realising you were never missing it. you’ve always had the key, you just keep checking everywhere else to confirm it.

so when you sit in meditation and ask questions and get silence, that silence isn’t a failure. it just shows that there isn’t some separate source that’s going to reply to you. there’s no external authority, no higher version of you that holds the answer and releases it when you ask correctly.

because it’s already you right now.

which means this process isn’t about receiving instructions. it’s about observing yourself and deciding what fits. do you like using methods or not. which ideas actually make sense to you. what do you believe shifting is.

no one else can answer those for you, and no inner voice is going to hand you a script either. because you already have all the pieces. you’ve learned about shifting, seen different approaches, and explored different mindsets.

so “looking within” isn’t about getting new information. it’s about stopping the habit of seeking outside validation and starting to trust what you already know and choose.

that’s why people give this advice. not because there’s a hidden answer waiting, but because the act of searching for one is what keeps you stuck.

think of it this way: your identity is the thermostat setting. your experience is the room temperature.

if you set the thermostat to 20°c, the room adjusts to match it. that is cause to effect.

but if you keep saying, “i’ll only set the thermostat to 24°c once the room already feels like 24°c,” nothing changes. the room stays at 20°c. you wait on the effect to permit the cause.

so you stay in a loop. the setting never changes, so the temperature never changes.

does this paint a clearer picture?

(And I say proven because I shifted again last night. This time it followed the same logic I’ve been talking about where I just set the intention to shift and leave it at that. It was maybe 3 AM, and I just laid there thinking about other stuff. At some point, I slipped into a lucid dream without meaning to, and from there I shifted. So yeah....proof in practice).

Anyway, imagine someone wants to shift (but this goes for manifestation in general). They go online and see a post that reads “Omg guys, I did the Raven method last night and it worked, I shifted!”

And they’re like “bet, I’m gonna try that tonight.” So they crawl into bed, starfish position locked and loaded, count to 100, and… nothing. No shift. Just them lying there upset, like “why does this never work for me? Why is my brain allergic to methods?” Then, by accident, they have a random lucid dream that night—and they actually shift from there.

And of course, they run back online all excited like: “Guys, I shifted through a lucid dream!!”

Cue another person reading that post, who’s also been struggling, and they’re like, okay, THAT’S the key, I just have to lucid dream first. So they spend nights trying to lucid dream, fail, can’t shift, spiral into frustration. Then out of nowhere they remember this old method they tried once upon a time, one that gave them some symptoms. And they think “screw it, let’s try that again. And what happens? They shift.

Now they run online screaming: “Guys!! The APPLE METHOD worked!! I ate an apple before bed, affirmed I’d eat apples in my DR too, and woke up there!”

And naturally, another person sees that post, and thinks “oh my god, that’s genius, I’ll try the apple thing tonight”. They do it, wake up still in their CR, and they’re like “Wow, guess that doesn’t work for me either.” And then they have the most random night ever. They’re half-asleep scrolling on their phone, not even doing a method, and they drift off. And somehow, without even trying, they shift.

Then they pop back up and make a post, like “Guys, I didn’t even use a method, I just fell asleep naturally and I shifted!”

Now someone else sees that and goes “Ohhh, so I just need to not use methods at all, I need to just go to sleep naturally and I’ll shift.” So they put their phone down, roll over, and just… go to sleep. They wake up in their CR. Nothing happens. They’re pissed, like “How come that worked for them and not for me?!”

So then they decide “okay, maybe I should try using subliminals.” They put on subliminals every night, get tingles, feel good, but never actually shift. Weeks pass. They give up, stop listening to subliminals. And then one random night, they shift.

And when they come back they’re like “Guys, subliminals actually worked for me!! You just have to use them for a while and then take a break.”

And then, of course, someone else reads that and thinks “Ohhh, so that’s the formula. Use subliminals for a while, then stop, and then it happens.” They try it, religiously. Nothing. So now they turn to the law of assumption. They assume up, down, left, and right that they’re already in their DR. Then—after three long years—they shift.

Cue them writing a tell-all post about how the law of assumption is all you need. Another person reads it, applies it themselves to absolutely no avail, and quit shifting.

And then, through quitting, they immediately shift. Then they run back online adding another post to the pool of possibilities™, talking about how giving up was their key to shifting.

Cue someone else seeing this, trying to give up as a method—even though they absolutely do not want to give up—and nothing. No shift. They’re frustrated all over again. And then when they least expect it,, when they’re sick with a cold and passed out on cough syrup—they shift.

And when they come back, they go online and write “Guys, I shifted while I was sick! It’s called the Cold Medicine Method. Just get sick, drink NyQuil, and boom! you’ll be in your DR.”

And the cycle never stops. Next thing you know, multiple people are pounding NyQuil and meeting the hat man.

Let me engrain this in your head so deep that you don’t forget it: you are never, ever, ever going to see the shift coming. And that’s the most comforting thing in the world, because the moment will always blindside you in the best way.

You can plan it out exactly as you want, script down to the atom, you can do affirmations, you can stick to the law of assumption, you can run yourself ragged night after night—and yeah, maybe it can work that way. But even when it does, you’ll still be sitting there like “Holy shit… it actually worked.” Because you will never see it coming. Even if you do assume you’ll see it coming, I guarantee that you’ll still be floored by how powerful you are.

The beauty of this whole thing is that it sneaks up on you, even when you planned for it to sneak up on you. You can have gut feelings and intuition, but even then, it’s going to knock the wind out of you when it happens.

And it’s so easy to fall into the trap of saying “oh, I guess I don’t control my reality, I’m just at the mercy of it. But no. That’s not it at all. You’re not being dragged through the mud by fate. You do control reality through intention, through observation, through the decision that [this] is where I’m going.

You want to shift, and so you will shift. The problem comes when you hand that power away, when you start believing you’re at the mercy of methods, or of what worked for someone else, or of advice scattered online.

What if you’re not meant to know when you’ll shift—and through knowing that you won’t know—you do know?

(Bear with me). So you’re not throwing away your desire, you’re releasing the expectation of how and when it has to show up.

And there’s the paradox, because the very moment you release that expectation and trying, you’re stepping into the exact energy that allows it to happen. Because shifting comes when you least expect it, right? So by letting go of trying to micromanage the “how” and “when,” you’re naturally aligning with the way it actually unfolds.

Got it? You’re no longer blocking it, you’re pulling it closer without even trying, simply because you’ve matched the state it requires.

Like I said before, letting it go doesn’t mean forgetting about shifting, quitting, or forgoing methods. It’s not abandoning the process, because it’s actually the opposite. It’s you still doing your method, still affirming, still visualizing, still doing whatever feels natural to you. The difference is, you’re not clinging to it with fear and doubt.

It feels backwards, I know....and discard it if you want to, because it almost sounds like sabotage,, but the moment you accept the possibility that you’ll wake up in your CR tomorrow, that your method could “fail,” you’re dissolving the fear that’s been holding you hostage. You’ve already embraced the worst-case scenario, so it no longer has power over you. And funny enough, that’s when things start to happen.

Yes, by the law of assumption you’d think it’s all about locking yourself into the state of “already having,” and that’s true,, but pairing that with acceptance of the fear creates a balance. You’re not fighting yourself anymore when you know you have it, you know it’s yours, and you also embrace the opposite with “whatever, if I fail I fail, at least I’m trying” energy.

don’t try something as a result of something else “not working.” you made that assumption up. you can easily say something still worked even if it didn’t provide the shift (yet). but it’s the assumption that it didn’t and THEN trying to find a “solution” (to a problem you made up in your head) that keeps you in the loop.

this is a very sneaky way that your old assumptions stay the course. but hopefully i explained it succinctly enough and you can realize you don’t need to change anything about what you’re doing. it’s enough.

shifting is whimsy. shifting is one minute consuming a piece of media the next, searching all over the internet for script templates for (insert media); shifting is scripting the little things about ur dr s/o that has u giggling and kicking ur feet thinking about it; shifting is joining shifting discord servers and gcs and just exchanging dr info with people who wholeheartedly share the same love for shifting as you do; shifting is buying things (e.g. perfumes) that reminds you of things from ur dr and helps u connect even more on another level;

shifting is staying up till the morning chickens start cuckooing their natural alarms reading fanfics about your dr s/o and scripting more scenarios to ur dr script; shifting is feeling upset & unmotivated one day and knowing that there are thousands of people who have probably felt the same emotions as u are currently and posted shifting storytimes as a sign that you too can shift; shifting is the gateway to living multiple different lives, all with different stories, people to meet, etc;

Before I log off and perma-shift, I wanna give you all this post right here: READ_THIS. This is what you all need to hear if you haven't shifted yet. You know it's serious when I made this post bland and 'un-aesthetic'.

For people who want to read the post right now. Here, I copy pasted the post, full credit to the writer 'Due_Cloud9654':

Extreme all or nothing “foolproof” methods for permachuds

posting it here since this is where chuds just wanna escape and don’t care about anything spiritual related even tho it has nothing about methods and only for memes/being mad. trying to help us sleep deprived lonely permashifters who are desperate escapists at 4 am and complaining about the same loa just decide shit on the main sub. So since u hate the just decide methods and desperate to leave, take it or leave it. for the desperate unemployed only who’s sole goal for existing is to perma shift and wanting to finally escape but don’t like doing LOA or Alice borderline methods so if u don’t like my methods u can stay stuck here and continue rotting away

Shifting is like taking off a band-aid. If you do it slow it's annoying, more painful and can take a little while, but if you rip it off you'll be uncomfortable for a bit and move on Just rip off that band-aid. once you shift, infinite lifetimes will be available to you, so it is worth the effort/time

Is to dedicate the whole day to shifting like your life depends on it because it does. at day: 1. meditate like a monk. 2. affirm all day like a psychopath that’s doing this to save their life. 3. daydream and have a real emotional connection to that existing reality. focus your awareness there and what you wanna be doing.

If you can’t meditate all day, then do it atleast 5+ times a day for 20-30 mins, say atleast 10K robotic affirming of the same affs of already being there, everything makes me shift, and that shifting is inevitably happening tonight/asap until your mind stops spiraling and absorbs it. at night: attempt all night and not give up until you see a diff reality or drift so you can repeat the same thing again until it happens (This is for me since im unemployed)

just intentionally robotic affirm from morning till night. every second of every day, there should be only one thought spinning around in your mind: "i am in my desired reality.". And meditate/relax in pure thoughtless awareness. (Even if you fail you set such a big goal it’ll work regardless) don’t give into the distractions/old ego doubts.

2. Sleep paralysis method: great for ppl that are depressed, struggling, and mad enough to beat up demons, it’s also known as foolproof method like the void.

There was this shifter that needed to shift badly so what they did was lay still for 3-4 hours. I’ll copy n paste: At first your mind will start saying the things you don't want to hear, or it will try to distract you. The key is to ignore it, simply let it pass. After the first two hours, your mind will shut up, and if you haven't moved, so will your body. Then, you're only the consciousness, from there you can do whatever the fuck you want. I will add this because i had this problem, where i needed to shift fast, but i also didn't know to where. So i say to you, make a better CR completely. Change everything, family, body, friends, whatever, its your dream, your world, you choose. And also, when you reach that state, you must believe, see, and affirm to yourself in present tense. This is the only way, atleast from my view. If you have the discipline to just sit for as long as it may take

3. WBTB or MABA. Set alarms. 2-3 or 4-6 hours. Shift in hypnagogic body asleep state, or get into sleep paralysis or lucid dream and shift from there. It’s hard getting up but the likeliness of shifting is way way greater/nearly foolproof if u commit. (one-time temporary painful night for eternal bliss)

4. OG void method: Sink into the void by completely detaching to your ego/body here. affirm “I am the void” affs, and embody the detached pure conciousness state of peace. focus on the darkness behind eyelids until you slowly slip into that peaceful safe state of nowhere. When ur doing a method to go to the void, you stay loyal. Ur going to the void, not your dr. do not skip steps, go to the void first, then dr. you can count to 100 before doing it so your mind is still, tired, detached and calm doing this. Focus on being pure detached awareness like a pro

5. connection and sheer will persist method: Don’t wait, just enter. Put on a potent void/shifting subliminal. Focus on how relieving DR/WR will be and loop that feeling. Count until detached intuitively. Be your dr self, happily exist in dr in awareness until your eyes open in a diff version of reality. Let go of here, Shift out of sheer will, out of spite, persistence, stubbornness, like you’re mastering a skill or beating enemies in a competition and nothing else matters except you winning. remember how bad you want it. End the loop

6. respawn/survival method: be put down if u failed everything and 60 years old which is impossible if u never give up. until death, all defeat is not real, if you persist while alive then it’s inevitable. act like you’re already dead and can do anything u want now since nothing really matters; so u tell/affirm to your subconscious that you can only breathe in your dr until your awareness shifts there out of survival mode, or that this is a lucid dream/dead reality and your dr is the real life you’re waking up in. You can set a date when you are to wake up from your "lucid dream" and wake up in your DR/WR. Pick a date, any date and choose to wake up on that date in your DR/WR.

when you're in a DIRE situation, you're going to surprise yourself by how hard you'll lock in when you really need something to happen for you. I locked the fuck in. Persisting isn't a choice; it's your last resort. People tend to lock in like that when they don't have the choice of being lazy or stalling.

permashifting is only your decision not to return, its not something happening to this reality. Theres no value in worrying about "what if i'd never know?" because of course you wouldn't, if you've chosen to experience another reality permanently, then you'd be there, living your life there. I’m done waiting and accepting rotting. these were methods for me to do so bye deleting

Let’s try the jumping jack method. A lot of people always ask me how to “regulate”, what that even means and how it can help. Please don’t complicate it. We aren’t complicated. We are human. The word regulate itself can be taken differently depending on the person, but at the end of the day it’s just a word, and you decide how much power that holds over you and your outcomes. Now going back to the human part, recognize yourself as such and treat yourself accordingly. You aren’t a dog needing to be trained, you aren’t a baby needing to be cradled, you aren’t an ant that’s going unnoticed. If you feel this way, if you view yourself so lowly, then you’re being selfish.

Selfish enough to stop yourself from being happy. Selfish enough to stop yourself from choosing a good day. Selfish enough to stop yourself from thinking about better days ahead. But that’s okay, it happens. That’s human too. And you should give yourself that grace because nobody else will for you. Why not? Well because it all starts from within, you keep saying “I create my reality” then it’s yours right? Not mine, not your neighbors, not their dogs. But if you’re not believing it, if you’re not assuming so, then what good does repetition do? This is why some methods work for people and some don’t. You can repeat anything to yourself a billion times, you can have high frequency guru playing in the back while you script 10 pages and drink moon water too. It’ll work for your friend and yet here you are still watching YouTube videos on how to write their name 3 times in red ink. Like okay girl.

So regulate. Take a step back and acknowledge you’ve gone a bit overboard. Why the heck are you working so hard? I thought manifesting was supposed to be easy, according to all these sources on tumblr and all the big accounts on YouTube and the several reddit threads you scrolled through. Let’s get back to that real quick. No you don’t have to script it, that can get boring or nerve wracking quick for some people, again, totally human btw. No you don’t have to go to the gym and thug it out on the bench press like you’re competing somewhere. No you don’t have to listen to the latest guoba subliminal and then go subliminal shopping which sends you into the endless rabbit hole. No you don’t have to do all this extra shit. And trust me I say this from personal experience, clearly…

To those who have mastered it and know, they don’t even have to do the jumping jacks, but it really did work for me as a placebo type thing, which sometimes it’s okay to admit we want. No we don’t need anything, it’s a choice yet again. But the quickest way I stopped overthinking, getting so anxious or even allowing the bad thoughts to drown me into hell, was by getting up immediately and doing jumping jacks. I always tell people this when they ask for my advice and it helps every single time, or at least that’s what they tell me. But hey, I always affirm for people who read my blogs and it’s my reality and perspective so of course it’s going to work, try it and see the results yourself! Yes I’m confident because I’ve acknowledged that power within me. No it’s not magic, it’s just a choice of acknowledgement that this is true and it works.

Try it out next time. If the scripting, the subs, the yoga and the walks outside aren’t easing your mind, just get the hell up real quick and do a few jumping jacks and go about your day. You’re having the thought again? Like right after? Okay do the jumping jacks again. At some point you’re gonna be sick of getting up and doing some stupid jumping jacks and you’re gonna find a way to either move on or do something that takes your mind off whatever you’re wanting and you can detach easily. Sometimes it takes one jumping jack session and sometimes it takes 20. Don’t hate yourself if it takes 20, every day is a new opportunity to put yourself first and grow out of the old habits. That’s okay. Regulating doesn’t mean avoiding, it means choosing the better story even if you feel like it’s all going to shit. Feelings sometimes cant be controlled but our choices can. Which then affect those feelings even further. It’s up to you whether or not you want to continue the cycle you’re in.

Free your mind from the shackles you’ve put on yourself and really understand that you deserve the good things in this life. It’s truly as easy as people say, you’ve just got to take a step back and realize you’re the only one stopping yourself from achieving it. During these times, don’t push harder, give yourself grace, get up, force yourself to choose differently and watch your world change. That’s true regulation.

you don’t need to have everything figured out before you shift.

you don’t need perfect belief. you don’t even need to be fully convinced.

just be willing to try.

what do you actually have to lose?

you try, and it works. and your life opens in ways you couldn’t have imagined from where you are now.

or you try, and it doesn’t. and you’re exactly where you are now, but at least you know you gave it a real chance.

either way, you don’t lose anything.

so why not give yourself that opportunity?

life is uncertain anyway. things don’t always go how we want. but this is one of the few things where the risk is almost nothing, and the potential is everything.

and the fact that you’re here, reading this, already says a lot. some part of you wants more. some part of you believes it could be real.

so don’t shut that part down before you even try.

give yourself the chance to see what happens.

go shift.

or rather, realise that you already have.

so i know it’s been a long while since i posted a long little shifting help post but that’s because i been doing what i want! however, to this day i still get dms and comments asking why people aren’t shifting even though they’ve been using the law of assumption for x amount of months.

and it’s my personal belief that one of the biggest reasons is because while you’re using the law of assumption, you’re not using it to create your new reality but to cling to your old story.

you still haven’t moved past it. you still carry resentment. whether that be toward yourself for “failing,” toward time, toward other shifters who’ve gotten their results or led you “astray.” even toward shifting itself because it hasn’t happened in the way you’ve wanted it to yet.

you can’t make your new story click because underneath them are the assumptions: “i’ve been trying forever.” “i’m still here.” “why isn’t it working?” “i always end up waking up here.”

that is your story. that is what you’re actually identifying with. and every time you repeat it, you’re just giving it a stronger hold.

you try to start over and overwrite it, but the second something doesn’t go your way, you immediately return to the old story because it’s familiar to you. because it feels like home.

and your new story feels unnatural because you haven’t let yourself live there yet. you haven’t taken the time to heal the damage your old story dealt. it’s like placing brick over mold, thinking that simply covering it will take away the stench.

it doesn’t.

and before somebody says “but i’m saturating my mind with my new story x amount of times a day!” i’m not talking about repetition. i’m talking about identity.

who are you when you’re not affirming?

are you someone who micromanages your thoughts? always anxious about thinking the right things? always searching for a new method or direction? can never live in your present state for long without reverting back to something negative?

if so, it’s probably because you haven’t forgiven yourself yet.

a lot of you are trying to control every thought because you don’t trust yourself anymore. you think if you loosen your grip for even a second you’ll undo all your progress. but ask yourself why.

it’s because you’re still identifying with the version of you that “didn’t know better.” the version that spiraled. the version that thought drinking a gallon of water would be the key. the version that thought moving an inch could ruin everything.

you haven’t realized that person doesn’t need to be protected anymore.

that’s why you keep trying to control everything. control feels safe because if you’re always watching yourself, maybe you’ll never become that version of you again.

but conscious creation isn’t about controlling yourself every second of every day. it’s about trusting the identity you’ve chosen enough that you can free your thoughts. even if they’re negative. because you know, deep down, that they don’t matter.

so forgive yourself. that’s it.

forgive yourself for not knowing what you know now. forgive yourself for the months or years you spent feeling stuck. forgive yourself for every time you doubted yourself.

stop treating yourself like a lost cause.

stop trying to fight your old story and simply let it be old.

your past is not evidence. stop living like it is. choose the version of you that you know yourself to be. you don’t owe your old story loyalty just because you’ve spent a long time living it.

it’s served its purpose. now let it go.

that way when reality asks you: “who are you?”

In your next shifting attempt, I want you to decide that you’ve shifted. I want you to come in and out of this state of mind as you need, for 10 minutes.

This means—don’t try to maintain your focus on the fact that you’ve shifted. Decide you’ve shifted, feel the weight of that choice without forcing anything, and if your mind wanders back to your OR, let it. When you become aware you’ve wandered back here, you’re gonna go back to the mental state of having shifted again. Repeat this for ten minutes.

This method is based on partial SATS and assumption, and also Zen meditation practice. Forcing focus can tense you up and take you out of the state needed to shift. But if you acquire a practice of “coming back” whenever you slip, you relax and allow for things to happen. You stop being hyperaware and constantly monitoring the experience.

because 90% of shifters are sending asks asking why they don’t shift.

people keep treating shifting like something they have to figure out, like there’s some missing step, some secret they haven’t unlocked yet.

but shifting isn’t something you have to do or earn.

it’s not a privilege.

it’s your right.

it’s within your control and it always has been.

but instead of accepting that, people keep looking outward. asking for more tips, more methods, more reassurance, more confirmation that they’re “on the right track”, more “what should i do now hana”, more “what should i change”, more “is shifting actually real”.

and i get it, it feels safer that way, more reassuring.

but at some point you have to ask yourself, are you actually listening to the answers you’re getting?

or are you just asking again because you’re hoping for a different answer. one that feels more convincing, one that finally removes all doubt for you.

because no one else can do that for you.

no one can convince you that you’re capable of shifting or that it’s real, no one can validate you into it.

and constantly seeking that validation just keeps you stuck in the idea that shifting is outside of you.

when it never was.

the issue isn’t ability, it’s where you think that ability comes from.

Shifting is half mindset, half being in an altered state

A conclusion I came to is that: the advice I’d give people who’ve tried everything but still haven’t shifted is to drop everything and focus entirely on inducing mind-awake, body-asleep and an altered state. I thought “if that’s what I think, then what the heck is shifting actually comprised of?” Other than two raccoons in a trench coat.

So yeah, I think shifting is half your mindset, half being in an altered state. But “half” is extremely flexible. For some people, mindset (I’m talking law of assumption, using affirmations, knowing it’s done, acting as if, all that stuff) can be 90%, maybe even 99%, while the altered state is just the tiniest sliver, like 1%. For others, maybe it’s 70% mindset and 30% altered state. And then for someone else, it might be 90% altered state and only 10% mindset. It can be 80/20, 60/40, 50/50. The ratio changes depending on the person.

I believe this so firmly because one manifests the other. For example: The intention you hold (to shift) manifests you getting into an altered state and then shifting from there. On the flip side, getting into an altered state can completely change your worldview, shift your pov, and change your mindset (think, someone having a sleep paralysis episode where they almost shift, and from then on they realize how malleable their awareness is from that state, so they use it to their benefit). 

“Does that mean people who blink and suddenly find themselves in their DR used an altered state?” 

I think yes, but not because they reached hypnagogia or the void without noticing (though that does happen), but because the instant you become aware of another reality, your state has altered, it isn’t fixed to one reality anymore.

So if you used law of assumption to shift, assumed you were already in your DR, blinked and you were there instantly,,, that blink was the altered state. That’s why for some people the ratio looks like 1% altered state, 99% mindset, but the altered state is still present; it can just show up as an almost-instant switch because the mindset did the heavy lifting. The point is, they go hand in hand.

“So wtf do I do” Welll wtf have you been doing? Let’s see

Mindset-heavy shifting looks like: law of assumption (believing it’s already done), affirmations and mantras, acting as if you’re already in your DR, trying to feel emotions from your DR, visualizing or scripting and then “living from it”, and mental diets.

Altered state-heavy shifting looks like: trying to enter the void, inducing sleep paralysis, working with hypnagogia (images, sounds, sensations), watching for symptoms (tingles, floating, vibrations, etc.), lucid dreaming, wbtb, breathwork, or MABA.

My theory right now is that someone who’s struggling to shift might be honing in on the half that doesn’t serve them. Think about it. Some people thrive with the law of assumption, “acting as if,” rampaging affirmations, living in the mindset of being a master shifter. That’s what works for them, and then they shift. But then there’s the other group, where people shift through sleep paralysis, the void, hypnagogia, wbtb, and so on. So there’s three paths to take 

Path One:

If you’ve been trying with mindset, you drop all of that completely. You stop fussing over whether your mindset is “perfect” or not, stop worrying about trying to maintain constant positivity, assumptions, the identity of being a master shifter, and acting as if.

Your mindset literally doesn’t matter here. You could spiral, be depressed, feel like crap, acknowledge your circumstances, whatever. It has nothing to do with your ability to shift. Instead, you focus only on inducing altered states. Of course this could mean the void state, lucid dreaming, meditation, hypnagogia, whatever makes sense to you. BUT the most simple thing to start with that’s the foundation of all of these, is mind awake, body asleep (MABA).

But MABA is notttt meditating for hours while staying still. It can be, but in my experience, the trick is to not try to force what will happen. Your only job for MABA is: keep the mind engaged, and let the body relax all the way. I’m going to link my wbtb hack, that eyelid method, and ways to not fall asleep, because those are all “hack” MABA.

But there’s so many little ways to do this such as playing a song you love while letting yourself stay awake (because you won’t notice your body fall asleep). Or sleeping with light in the room (at any degree). Or even using a physical anchor, like falling asleep with a clothespin pinching you. I could do a whole list, but the point is: start experimenting with what makes your body fall asleep while your mind hangs on to awareness, and just forget everything about your mindset, affirmations, etc. 

Say you were mindset-heavy, but dropped the mindset grind and simplified the process by focusing on MABA. Once you started getting experiences from those altered states, like symptoms, little wins, shifts — it rewired your belief. You saw results and realized this shit is real, and your mindset changed naturally. Now you’re that person who both knows they can shift and can induce the altered state to shift when they want.

Path Two:

Now let’s say you’ve been doing the opposite. You’ve been trying to induce the void, working with hypnagogia, grinding at altered states night after night, and nothing ever happens. For you, it’s time to abandon altered states completely. Forget the void, forget lucid dreams, forget all of it. Shift your focus 100% to mindset. 

NOTT the obsessive, micromanaging kind where you’re terrified of the 3D or counting every negative thought. I mean how it alll falls back on how the intention manifests the HOW, and not the other way around. 

In practice, that means you’ll end up using your mindset to generate the altered state. A lot of the altered states people chase rely on relaxation and not forcing an outcome. So when you lean entirely into the leaned-back “this is mine, I’m done trying tonight, fuck it” — and stop micromanaging the method (no frantic meditation, no wrestling to keep your mind awake while your body falls asleep), you often get better results. You’ve probably noticed that when you don’t try, or barely try, is when it actually usually happens — and that’s the point! That’s why doing something completely different takes the pressure off and allows whatever the fuck you want to arrive more easily.

Say you were altered-state heavy, so you flipped it. You stopped forcing hypnagogia, void, WBTB, whatever you’d been chasing. By focusing on your intention, and not forcing anything, the altered state just showed up on its own. Now you’re someone who has the mindset and the ability to fall into that state without trying so damn hard.

Path Three:

Then we have the in-between people, the ones doing both. You’re affirming, living as if, repeating “I’m already in my DR,” and at the same time trying to induce altered states, the void, hypnagogia, whatever. Wellllll, you’re actually doing one or the other ;-; and I’ll tell you why. 

Because you have a fallback that you’re going to do tonight no matter what. You’ll either try a mindset-heavy attempt (“I’m already in my DR, I can feel it, I’m there”), or you’ll try an altered-state-heavy attempt (inducing the void, MABA, etc.). The trick to know what you’re doing is: if you’re affirming and telling yourself that you’re in your DR while trying to induce an altered state, then you’re not really doing an altered state attempt. You’re using mindset to carry you into one. **If your whole attempt would collapse without affirmations or acting as if, tying to feel your DR, then you’re still mindset-first. 

But if your whole attempt relies on NEEDING the symptoms, NEEDING to feel hypnagogia coming, then you’re secretly relying on the altered state. Once you realize what you’re actually doing, go back and choose path 1 or 2.

The point is to get rid of whatever part of this is making you miserable, and choosing the path of least resistance.

INSUM / TL;DR: If you’re doing mindset-heavy stuff (law of assumption, affirmations, acting as if, etc.), then drop it and focus entirely on altered states. Start with mind-awake/body-asleep since it’s the easiest and you can hack it however you like.

If you’re doing altered state-heavy stuff (the void, hypnagogia, symptoms, lucid dreaming, etc.), then drop that and focus entirely on mindset. And mindset doesn’t have to mean obsessive affirming or acting as if—it can literally just be acknowledging your intention, knowing it’s yours, and letting whatever happens, happen.

If you think you’re doing both, you’re actually leaning on one or the other. To find out which, check what you do at night when you ignore all advice. If your fallback is a method built on affirmations, feelings, or pretending you’re already in your DR, that’s mindset-heavy. If your fallback is expectant of symptoms, hypnagogia, etc,, that’s altered state-heavy.

One of the most popular, infamous, and often misunderstood concepts within the community is the idea of “𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨.”

I constantly come across posts, and I’ve recommended it myself, that tell you to let go of that lingering, irritating expectation of whether tomorrow you’ll wake up in your desired reality or once again open your eyes to your cursed, damned, painfully familiar bedroom.

But what does “𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨” actually mean?

Well, awaken those neurons that social media has graciously fried and read my magnificent, slightly irreverent post.

Allow me to enlighten you with my (our) brilliant intellect and my (not particularly revolutionary) ideas.

“𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨” is not about pretending that shifting no longer interests you. We’re human beings. It’s completely normal, and honestly understandable, to feel excited about something that would so obviously mark a before and after in our endless existence.

“𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨” is really about accepting that you already have it.

…A little confusing, isn’t it?

But it’s much simpler than it sounds.

You are consciousness. I am consciousness. We are all consciousness, pure awareness that is not tied to any fixed place, pure awareness that is genuinely free, pure awareness that is both the beginning and the end of existence and everything that comes with it. In other words, the consciousness that creates everything we perceive as real around us.

Following that logic, isn’t it somewhat irrational to believe that you’re still not in your desired reality?

You are.

You always have been.

You always will be.

That’s simply the nature of things.

The only thing missing, the 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐩, is your willingness to see it, to accept it, and to stop longing for something you already possess so that you can finally experience it firsthand.

That’s why I proudly declare myself a fan of the Law of Assumption.

When you repeat affirmations, you’re not trying to fool yourself, nor are you desperately chasing after something you want. You’re aligning your awareness with an already existing possibility.

Let go.

You are not chained to this reality.

As difficult as it may be to believe, you already have what you’ve been yearning for.

Accept it.

And allow yourself to experience the reality you’ve dreamed of for so long.

With much love,

I don't often talk about my 2nd main s/o on this blog (tho if were close moots you DEF know him)

I was first introduced to him through @deepinthegroves, he was her brother she scripted in to every reality, Rafal Nightwine. AND BRO I WAS A GONER

So! he soon was scripted as my s/o in almost all my slice of life drs (I have a lot) but it kinda hit me that I wanted him here too! So this is what I did.

note: manifesting is just shifting with a different name so take this/define this however you want!

ৎ୭ the first step! writing affirmations! Now this is pretty easy tbh and there's a lot of wiggle room to do it how you want! Personally I find it works better to be as detailed as possible-but for some the simpler ones work better so its up to you!

ৎ୭ Now you can write however many you want! personally I wrote around 40! But like I said before its really up to you and what works best for you

ৎ୭ But wait! "Oh amazing Berry what should I write?", see again its up to you but some good example affirmations I wrote were things like this:

I’ve attracted a partner just like _______

My future boyfriend will look exactly like ______

My future boyfriend acts exactly like ________

My future boyfriend is entering my life very soon

My future boyfriend will be the exact replica of ________

ৎ୭ alongside as writing attributes of this person like: (note these are attributes of MY partner)

My future boyfriend is kind just like _________

My future boyfriend is reserved just like __________

My future boyfriend is observant just like __________

My future boyfriend is fiercely loyal just like _________

My future boyfriend is slightly oblivious just like ______

My future boyfriend is introverted just like ______

ৎ୭ now these is where a lot of you guys are gonna not wanna do (but this is optional!! though I HIGHLY recommend it) and that is to make your own subliminal!!

ৎ୭ making a sub is pretty easy! basically you write your affirmations on any video editing software (I use clipchamp) and either record yourself or use text to speech (for a more robotic and evenly toned sound) after that you lower the sound to around 22% and speed it up to around 2x!

ৎ୭ after you have your newly recorded affirmations simply layer sound over the top of it! I like to use calming noises like rain or white-noise!!

ৎ୭ AND BOOM YOUR DONE! then you download it or upload it to sound-cloud OR if you dm me it I can upload it on my podcast! so you can listen to it and loop it.

ৎ୭ NOW if you don't want to make a sub (BOOOO) lowkey just read over and repeat your affirmations to yourself or find a sub on youtube!

ৎ୭ now the fun part! make a playlist! add songs that remind you of your partner! maybe songs that represent your dynamic or scenarios you've made in your cute little brain!

ৎ୭ after you've made a playlist just listen to it throughout your day! Visualize yourself with your s/o, picture them with you-what you guys would be like together and so on!

ৎ୭ make sure not to think of this as something that 'could' happen, because it WILL happen and you've literally already got it? like what are we even TALKING about guys

𝖲𝖳𝖤𝖯 𝖥𝖮𝖴𝖱: 𝖯𝖾𝗋𝗌𝗂𝗌𝗍

ৎ୭ And finally! DON'T GIVE UP! Do NOT lose hope, do NOT lose motivation-sometimes the 3D needs to catch up but I PROMISE YOU that if you persist and keep going your S/O will fall right into your pretty little lap !

ৎ୭ This is normally the hardest bit but please PLEASE do not lose faith my dears.
