#ariaisshifting

If you’ve read my other posts, you probably know that I finally experienced a mini-shift (I don’t really like calling it that because I knew it was a real shift, I just didn’t ground myself there, so.. let’s call it a mini one) and my first lucid dream.

I didn’t want to write this post until I’d actually experienced something myself, so that I could explain everything honestly, from my perspective.

After seeing some of my mutuals posting about “what did you guys do to shift,” I wanted to share my journey.

I’m sure you’ve read a million posts like this before, about how to shift, what methods to use, what subliminals help, blah blah blah, or you’ve caught yourself thinking: “Everyone’s doing it, so what am I doing wrong?”

Hear me out, there’s no wrong or right way. That’s the whole point.

If you still think what you’re doing is wrong, of course you’re not going to shift (which isn’t even true, because technically you’re shifting every second with every choice you make).

Because if you keep questioning whether you’re doing the method “correctly,” you’ll stay stuck in that loop forever. (until you believe you did the method %100 right)

Up until a few days ago, I hadn’t been able to truly prove shifting to myself, and I’d reached a point where I started doubting its reality.

And believe me, I’ve been spiritual literally my whole life. I believe in the "impossible". But even then, I started doubting myself, even when I was getting symptoms. (And nobody can makes you completely believe shifting is real, not until you experience yourself)

And that same night, after receiving messages and synchronicities all day long, I finally astral projected and shifted.

I was done. Exhausted. But not because I couldn’t reach my DR, because I was doubting something I already knew was real.

Until that night, I was trying to shift on and off, sometimes not even trying at all. I tried every method out there, just like you probably did. But I finally shifted with the method that felt the most comfortable for me.

The symptoms.. whether during meditation or lying down, I used to focus only on them. Like “omg I got symptoms!! I might be shifting!!” But whenever I focused on the symptoms, I’d end up right back here.

So for a while, instead of trying to shift, I reminded myself that this reality isn’t real. (I know it's real but you know what I mean right? I'm more than this reality) When I was lying down, I’d tell myself: "Okay, this bed isn’t real. These sheets aren’t real. This room isn’t real. These sounds aren’t real.” And I always repeated the affirmation ‘I am pure consciousness’ not to shift, but to experience the void state itself.

That desperate need to shift, I think that’s another thing that needs healing (at least was for me)

Why do you want to shift?

Just to be with your s/o in your DR?

To tell others you did it?

It could be for any reason, and that’s fine, everyone’s journey is different.

But I was so focused on my DR and other people’s stories that I didn’t even realize I wanted to shift for myself. Because from the very beginning, I believed shifting was a spiritual journey. For me, it wasn’t just “another existing universe” it was a process that helped me make sense of my own spiritual growth. That’s why I think understanding what shifting means to you personally is so important.

Of course, you can shift even without understanding that, you can be obsessive, you can do it for any reason, because there are no limits. The only limit is you. But for me, realizing this awareness made the process so much easier. Understanding the perspective I was coming from, why I wanted it, that changed everything.

And the moment I started focusing on the process instead of the outcome, that’s when it happened. That day, I shifted, and the next day, I had my first lucid dream. A few days earlier, I would’ve said, “I can’t lucid dream” I wouldn’t even have tried. But it happened. Naturally.

So what I’m saying is, this is a personal journey, a process. No one defines what’s right or wrong. Even “reality” itself is subjective, what feels right to you might be wrong to someone else.

And ego.. Even though I haven’t completely gotten rid of it, I've learned to let it go. Jealousy, negative thoughts, they were all part of me, and I accepted them before releasing them.

You know that feeling when your s/o is someone else’s s/o too and you get jealous? Yeah, I've been there. I still sometimes feel that way and it’s okay, it’s part of this reality’s nature.

Why was I feeling that jealousy? Because everything exists with its opposite. At least, that’s what I believe.

If I hadn’t gone through all those negative emotions, I probably wouldn’t have found shifting in the first place iykyk.

I was jealous because I was afraid of losing him, because I wanted to show my love to my s/o so badly. And honestly, that was okay too. I accepted it.

Because I realized it was never about him, it was always about me.

You can’t lose someone who is you. Because we are one.

Because he was always going to be real for me, just as much as he is real for others.

It's all about perspective.

So, letting go of ego was a big step for me too.

When I finally stopped chasing symptoms,

when I let external sounds just flow,

when I stopped thinking “if I move, I’ll lose focus and fail,”

when I trusted the process and allowed myself to do what felt right for me, that’s when I did it.

That’s when I proved to myself that shifting is real.

Maybe you need to focus more on the process instead of the result. Or maybe you need to focus more on the result instead of the process. Either way, what matters is you, and your journey.

And honestly? This is the best feeling ever.

Sometimes we romanticize the idea of shifting so much that we actually miss the real experience. Or trying to make it perfect. Or we get so attached to our DR that we don’t even allow ourselves to shift into a random one, just to prove it’s real.

Let it be imperfect.

Let it be some random place.

Let it be messed up.

Yes, my first shift was to a random place, and honestly, it’s so much better that way.

Because now I know it’s real.

And I know my DR self is waiting for me, patiently, to live my life there.

So, find yourself.

Find what shifting truly means for you.

There’s no right or wrong.

You are so much more than this body, and the only “right” thing you can ever be is yourself.

I think shifting isn’t just about going to the realities you want. It has actually added so much to my life that there are mountains of difference between who I was a year ago and who I am now.

Today, I decided to wear a tshirt that I hadn't worn in a long time. It's orange, and honestly, I don't even like the color orange that much. It says "Possibilities Are Endless" And that's actually where this story begins.

I left home thinking I was only going to visit my grandparents. I spent some time with them, and later we found out we'd be visiting a family friend. So we went there instead. Normally, my plan was to spend the day studying.

While we were there, our family friend was texting someone and randomly said "Come over if you're free, bring some ice cream too" The person he invited is actually someone in a very high-ranking position, and because of how busy he usually is, he normally wouldn't accept such a spontaneous invitation. But while we were literally in the middle of dinner, someone knocked on the door and it was actually him.

The conversation eventually turned to what I want to do as a pharmacist. If you read my previous post (and if you didn't, that's completely okay), you'll know I talked about how one of my biggest career goals didn't work out and how I accidentally manifested the wrong outcome.

As I was explaining my dreams, my goals, and the future I wanted to build, the conversation somehow shifted toward energy. I honestly don't even know how. But suddenly, this incredibly rational, high-ranking man, someone I never would have expected, started talking about quantum physics, frequencies, infinite possibilities, and religions. Seeing someone who seemed so logical also be deeply spiritual genuinely shocked me. It reminded me that you can never really know what's in someone's heart.

He told me a story that I want to share with you too. (I don't remember every detail, so I'll keep it simple)

There was a woman he knew who was struggling financially. Around the same time, her son had major university expenses (and not only university expenses, in every possible area in their life) coming up. She worked in agriculture. One day, while worrying about how she was ever going to pay everything, she was digging in her field. Suddenly, her shovel hit something. She dug it out and found a box. Inside was money. Not a little. Not an unbelievable fortune. Exactly enough to cover every single expense she had been worrying about. Not one cent less. Not one cent more.

He also told me about another woman who had been dealing with an illness for eight years.

She had started practicing energy work (I won't go into detail about exactly what she was doing) When her doctors ran new tests, they were shocked. They asked her, "What are you doing? What are you taking? You've had this condition for eight years, but your test results look completely normal now." She replied that she wasn't taking anything new. The doctors simply told her "We don't know what you're doing, but whatever it is... keep doing it."

Do you realize how much we underestimate the power of our own minds?

These aren't celebrities. They aren't famous gurus. They're just ordinary people. Maybe they're religious. Maybe they're not. Just people like you and me.

After that, he started talking to me in much more detail about frequencies, quantum physics, infinite possibilities, and consciousness. (Meanwhile, me silently thinking about parallel realities and shifting 😭) He's deeply religious, very deeply religious. (not in a strict way, as you can see) One day I'd really love to make a post explaining why I don't think religion is the enemy people often make it out to be, and why even the things many people see as negative can hold something beautiful when viewed from another perspective. Because that's exactly what I felt while listening to him. Warmth. It honestly felt like someone had answered a prayer I didn't even realize I had made.

Then he looked me straight in the eyes. He told me there was something different about me. That from the way I spoke, he could tell I wasn't inexperienced. He never directly used the word, but he implied that I was a healer. He also told me there were many different ways I could fulfill my dreams, not only through medicine, but spiritually as well.

Then he told me about someone he thought I should meet. Apparently, this person carries on a family profession that no one else knows how to do. Whenever people ask him, "Who taught you this?" his only answer is, "God did." I also want to talk about this one day when I write more about religion. Who knows? Maybe he shifted and learned it in another reality. Maybe he learned it through a dream. (If I remember correctly, he actually said it was taught to him in a dream.) Of course, we don't know what kind of "dream" that was. But if I ever get the chance, I'd genuinely love to meet him.

Looking back now, meeting that man today wasn't a coincidence. He became another mirror reminding me that everything is possible, just like the words written on my shirt.

He told me not to grieve over the things that didn't happen. That whatever kind of life I truly wanted, I would reach it somehow. He reminded me of things I already knew, but the way he said them touched something in my heart. I felt warmth. I felt love. Because no matter how much knowledge we collect, the truth is, we know almost nothing. Sometimes we simply need someone to remind us of what we've forgotten. That's what I felt today.

Our family friend doesn't believe in energy work at all. Yet one day, he went to a bioenergy practitioner together with this same man. He had a problem where his hand would completely lock up whenever he held a pen. He didn't believe any of it. (He even calls me magician lol) But after that session, that very same evening, the problem disappeared completely, and it never came back. He still doesn't believe in energy work. Yet the symptom vanished anyway.

The man himself also told us that there was a period when everything in his life was falling apart. He prayed, and only fifteen minutes later, things started changing. (Unfortunately, I can't share the details for personal reasons.)

But what I'm trying to say is this: whether you believe or not, whether you're religious or not (and like I said, one day I'd really love to explain why I think every religion, when viewed from the right perspective, ultimately points you back toward your own essence, no matter which God you believe in, or even if you don't believe in one at all), energy is real. And people experience it every single day. Whether you realize it or not, everything that happens in your life is a reflection of it, both the beautiful moments and the painful ones.

Who knows.. maybe I was meant to share this today. Maybe someone out there needed to read it.

So, nothing in life is ever truly a coincidence. The people you meet. The good moments. The painful moments. Every experience you've ever had. They're all invitations to realize that your mind has no real limits, that you can consciously work with your subconscious, and that at your core, you are made of pure love and pure awareness.

So don't be afraid to ask. Don't be afraid to dream. Because once you truly allow yourself to ask, there is nothing life is incapable of giving you.

I wanted to add a few thoughts to @bubble-sshifter's post, so all credit goes to her.

You might be looking for that one thing that will finally make you shift, a specific word, a ritual, a mantra, or some secret technique. But do you know what all the things mentioned in that post have in common?

Void state, SATS, hypnagogia, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis etc. Whatever method you use!

They all have one thing in common: Relaxation.

Honestly, I think that's the key to shifting.

The moment you stop thinking about everything else, not even thinking about shifting anymore, is the moment you completely surrender to relaxation, and that's when shifting becomes natural.

The whole point is to become so relaxed that you forget your body. So relaxed that you forget this reality. And once you reach that level of relaxation, you can guide your awareness as effortlessly as peeling the skin off a fruit.

If there really is a "key" to shifting, I'd say it's relaxing.

Focusing on one single thing.

That could be a mantra, a ritual, a breathing exercise, or any method you like. Because when you're genuinely focused on following a method, your attention naturally gathers into one place.

Why do you think meditation works?

Because your attention is either completely focused on clearing your mind or on following your breath.

Why can something as simple as washing the dishes feel meditative or therapeutic?

Because for those few moments, your entire awareness is on washing the dishes. You're not thinking about anything else.

If someone asked me "What's the one thing I should do to shift?"

I'd simply answer: Relax.

Focus on one thing, and one thing only.

That focused attention also helps synchronize the left and right hemispheres of your brain (at least in a simplified sense), making it easier to enter a theta brainwave state. And theta is one of the best states for letting your body fall asleep while keeping your mind awake.

That's the real purpose of all these methods.

Their job isn't to shift you.

Their job is to help you enter the right state, to relax you enough so you can return to your own essence, to pure consciousness.

So maybe it's time to stop reading hundreds of posts and simply focus on a single moment instead.

Okay, I’m not sure how I can turn everything in my head into proper sentences right now and I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to explain exactly what I’m thinking. But the real question is this:

Are the Multiverse Theory and the Consciousness Theory actually two different theories, or are they theories that support each other and eventually lead to a single main idea?

(And I’m completely open to discussion and hearing your own arguments in the comments. (with respect for sure.))

(Also, for context: I’m not writing this to scientifically prove anything, not put shifting into explanation or defend a specific theory. I’m simply sharing the thoughts that have been on my mind and that have slowly turned into a kind of internal monologue.)

(I gave up on aesthetic, just take the knowledge ☝🏻 it's a long shot)

If shifting is a psychological phenomenon happening entirely within your own mind, then you're the creator, the god, of your own inner universe.

Either way, it offers a freedom far greater than being confined to a single ordinary world with fixed limits.

What makes it worth pursuing isn't where the experience takes place, but how real it feels.

So whatever theory you believe in, whether it's the multiverse theory, the idea that shifting is an incredibly vivid experience created within the mind, or something else entirely, don't forget that, either way, it's an extraordinary experience worth having.

So please, do not give up on shifting.

Because the experience itself is worth everything.

shifting has never been something you had to “succeed.”

shifting is simply becoming aware of what’s already natural.

let me try to explain it with an example so it’s easier to understand:

in physics, when you apply a force to something, it applies an equal and opposite force back to you, right? as far as we’ve learned, that’s how this reality works, no interaction is one-sided.

just like that, when you set an intention, the realization of that intention becomes inevitable. because you’ve already applied the force, and therefore, a force must be applied back to you. that’s the nature of assumptions, and that’s how shifting happens.

the force you apply = setting the intention to shift

the equal opposite force applied to you = the shift itself

so the result naturally comes back to you. but if you hold on too tightly to “I must do it, I have to succeed.” energy, resistance forms, like friction in a system. because when you apply a force with the thought “I have to succeed,” you create an extra external force that interferes with the natural flow. and resistance, by nature, scatters energy.

but just like friction keeps cars from slipping on the road, you can use that external force to your advantage. it’s like when you push something and it pushes you back, but when you shift your position a little, the same push helps you move it more easily instead of blocking you.

shifting isn’t about trying.

it’s about becoming awareness.

because you’re already “shifting” all the time, your thoughts change, your emotions change, your frequency shifts, and so does your state of consciousness.

it’s just like breathing: you don’t constantly think about it, but it’s always happening. shifting is like that, a cycle, a rhythm. it’s always happening, but we rarely notice it.

and when you do focus on it, you realize, “oh, I'm breathing.” that awareness doesn’t create breathing, it just acknowledges, becoming aware what was already there. it’s the same with blinking, even when you’re not aware of it, it still happens.

when you notice it, you can blink faster or slower, but when you stop trying to control it, you don’t stop blinking altogether.

shifting is just as natural.

you just don’t notice it, until you choose to.

we can’t “see” our thoughts, but we know they exist. nobody asks, “did I really think that?” because thoughts are part of us, we just know.

shifting is the same. it’s not an external achievement; it’s an inner remembering. a moment of realization. it’s natural.

so stop treating shifting as something you have to succeed.

you don’t have to “do” it, you’re already doing it.

it’s part of you.

you can’t win it or lose it.

you don’t have to struggle to achieve it, because it’s not something to be earned.

shifting isn’t an action, it’s you.

it simply exists, just like you do.

it's natural. it's all about your awareness.

(ps: I’m not trying to make shifting sound logical or fit it into physical rules, or saying "I'm gonna succesfully shift" is wrong and is a limiting belief (depends on your perspective and beliefs). I just wanted to explain the concept in a way that feels easier to grasp, proving the point it is a natural thing.)
