I heard about this method from this guy on TikTok (@ damon.shifttok). He created the method, so credits to him—and I honestly thought that shit was incredible.

I tried it, and it was super easy, very comfortable, and I had a dream of my DR. It just felt perfect.

It takes advantage of getting into a hypnagogic state, and as somebody who’s been shifting like 24/7, I’m very familiar with that state—and I’ve never seen a method (not even my own) that takes advantage of it as well as this one does.

So basically what you do:

You lay down however you feel—like however you’d naturally fall asleep. If you sleep on your side, get on your side. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you’re weird, but get on your stomach.

Then, you count to 100. Every 5 numbers or so, you say an affirmation. Instead of just straight-up counting, I decided to count my breaths using triangle breathing instead, because that helps me relax better.

While you’re relaxing into that state (and he said something that really stuck with me—use it as a meditation), your mind knows you’re trying to shift. So instead of focusing on shifting, just focus on relaxing while you’re in that meditative state. Your body will do the rest for you.

Every 5 breaths, I’d say something. Like on the 6th breath (instead of counting), I’d say an affirmation like:

“I shift in my sleep.”

Then I’d say that same affirmation for the next 5 breaths.

On the 11th, I’d say it again.

On the 16th, and so on.

And I wouldn’t count those “affirmation breaths.”

Then around 25, I’d switch it up. The affirmations I used were just what I wanted to say in the moment.

I tried his method twice—once exactly how he said it, and another time where I amended it to be more comfortable for me. The time I amended it? That’s when I had the DR dream. So I’ll share how I amended it.

Some of the affirmations I said were:

• “My body knows how to shift in its sleep.”

• “I’m a master shifter.”

• “Shifting is easy.”

• “I can shift in the blink of an eye.”

I did my count to 100, and my mind was already wandering. BTW: when your mind is wandering, just do a little bit more. That’s a good thing—it means you’re entering the right state.

My mind drifts really easily, so I wasn’t stressed about it. By 70, I was drifting. I got to 100 and was like, “Let me do 50 more.” By the time I finished the next 50, I was on the brink of sleep—which is perfectly where you want to be.

Now here’s the next part:

At this point, you start just repeating stuff about your DR. Repeat facts. I was in a meditative state enough where I wasn’t thinking of anything else—just focusing on the darkness while I affirmed.

I said things like:

• “I was born in 1779.”

• “My birthday is July 28th.”

• “I’m a Seeker on the Gryffindor team.”

• “My name is __________.”

I just said whatever facts I could think of. And I wasn’t really visualizing with the intent to shift—I was just seeing what I was saying. You know when your eyes are closed, you’re sleepy, and you start imagining what you’re thinking? It was like that. I saw my dad. I saw my significant other. And then I drifted to sleep.

Now, the original method says to first say stuff about being in your DR and then about being a master shifter—but for me, this way felt easier and more natural. Saying things about being a master shifter first gave me confidence and helped me facilitate the shift. Then, saying facts about my DR helped me lock in to where I was going.

There is one part I kinda forgot to do (because I was basically asleep at this point), but you’re supposed to feel how you’d feel if you were already in your DR—like enter the emotional state of your DR self.

For example, if I’d remembered this part before falling asleep, I would’ve felt very nervous because it’s my first day of fourth year and I’m seeing my S/O after only exchanging letters all summer. But I’d also be super excited for the Hogwarts feast, for the gift exchange me and him planned, and to catch up with him. I’d probably be overthinking a little bit—making sure I had everything packed, going over my outfit, thinking about how I’m going to spend that long-ass train ride, that sort of thing.

Just feel the emotions.

If you want to do it awake, just repeat the method until you feel your surroundings shift or move.

But because I had already affirmed things like “my body knows how to shift in its sleep,” I felt very confident falling asleep—and I’m glad I did.

The method is honestly great, and I’m going to start using it all the time.

I had a very vivid dream about my DR, which I haven’t had in a really long time.

In the dream, I was playing cards against Ron. He kept trying to convince me that I was a Veela.

He was betting tons of money on the game, and Harry was watching—very unimpressed. First of all, he was just deadpanning at Ron since I was winning. And second, he knows my entire ancestry, so he knows I’m not a Veela—which made him cringe even harder.

We were in the Gryffindor common room by the fire. It was interesting. I just woke up with that image of me and Ron playing cards, him saying that kind of thing.

I don’t know. It seems very on-brand for my DR self and that reality.

Try the method. It’s called the Mason Jar Method.

It’s incredible.

Side note:

i used to think shifting had to feel like something/that it had to be dramatic or full of signs. what actually worked was letting go of the idea that i had to earn it. this is such an IMPORTANT reminder yall.

i stopped trying to “attempt” and started assuming that i shift every single time. no exceptions. no doubts. just trust. it came from things i already knew how to do: lucid dreaming, dropping into the void, daydreaming etc. instead of visualizing everything perfectly, i started feeling it: textures, temperatures. i let music play softly in the background, counted slowly, and told myself truths .

“i’m already there.”

“this is where i belong.”

and my fav: “im finally back home”

i came to realize that every shift was just me going home and this was MY push and MY key. i didn’t have to drop a coin into a magic wishing well to be there. i wasn’t NEW to that reality because it was always mine.

constantly assuming that i “return home” every time i sleep literally made it come true. it’s my fav “method” and its what feels most natural.

how i woke up

i woke up to my bedsheets and the sun lighting up my whole room exactly how i scripted it. the exact pajamas i had written down. the softness of the fabric, the way the light hit the walls. i didn’t even have to question it. of course my first move was to look in the mirror. i wanted to see it with my own eyes and i did. it was me and felt natural. i only spent a few mins wandering in my room and i shifted back here.

YOURE* so fucking cool .!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAY IT WITH ME

YOU ARE SOOOO FUCKING COOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
