Elo shiftblr 🙋🏽‍♀️ CB back again with a rather shocking post . You all know that I’m super against methods . Like I consider them the bane of shifter existence. Not because they’re “bad” or “don’t work” but because the community has made them into this god tier level piece of work that only creates unnecessary work for newbies . It’s taken me years to shift. Now that I’ve done it like a kajillion times I’ve finally realized that everything we do is a god damn menthol whether we like it or not so we might as well embrace them . Intelligently, though.

Tons of people have been asking me about how I shift, when I shifted, my success story, etc etc and well here’s the post ! Not my success story tho , it’s coming i promise !!!!

Side note: this method is not the only method that you can shift with. None of the steps are required nor the end all be all. If you’d like to substitute a step with something else, go ahead! It’s your life and at the end of the day you will only ever shift if you do it naturally, by your own means.

Anyway, this method is insanely easy! It’s literally the most basic of all methods and requires just a few things

REQUIREMENTS

1. PATIENCE! this is the most important thing YOU MUST HAVE! It doesn’t matter if you spiraled five minutes before reading this or haven’t tried in months. What you do NOW is all that matters. Your mindset is your truth. If you are having trouble with the LOA, then this might not be the one for you. No worries!

2. Get comfortable. For me personally, I love shifting in my own space where I’m alone bc it gives me the ability to focus on me and only me. Bonus points if it’s quiet!

THE METHOD:

1) Meditate.

. Yes I know! Boooo meditation! The devil of the shifting community 🥲🥲 unfortunately for most of you this is like the second most important step! You are probably battling your doubts and fears. If you’re like me, you know you can shift but you just feel like you’re stuck fighting your own head. This is the solution babes!!!!

Meditation doesn’t have to be a big performative ahh ceremony either. Just sit, breathe, and tell yourself that you are calm. That’s all I do and I feel so so so much better after.

You don’t have to meditate and shift, you can just meditate, but when I meditate it usually leads to shifting… so do with that what you will ! Anyway, it’s good for you! And necessary for this method !!

So boom, you’re sitting calm and cool. At this point, you might start seeing colors and shit behind your lids. Cool !! You’re 50% done ✅ awesome! You might be feeling bored now, wondering when it’s gonna happen and if you should just give up. This is where major patience is needed.

2) destroy your ego.

Sounds fucking scary ik! It can be when the realization that everything that has ever stopped you from getting what you want derives from this. The ego. A part of your subconscious mind that holds your beliefs, doubts, fears, flaws, etc. Everyone has doubts about shifting, and they likely show up when you’re trying and give up. For this method, no matter what you do, DO NOT GIVE IN! I repeat: DO NOT GIVE INNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! If you must stop meditating, let it be for something you gotta do, a responsibility you must fulfill. Do NOT stop just because you are letting your doubts tell you to. They are lying dead in yo face.

3) Connect to your DR.

If you’re trying to shift, this is when you can start visualizing or affirming if that works for you. For me personally, visualizing works even tho I feel like I suck at it 🥲 I usually visualize with five senses, typically touch or eating . I’m always eating LMFAO. I love when the visualization starts and I forget that I’m in my CR! Most times my DR senses start to pick up before the shift even happens! It's either phantom touching or i straight up blink and im in my DR. If you just want to practice, document which senses shift first! Its' fun!

This also may be applied to any other OOBE ! If you want to AP, LD, or idfk go into the void or wtv, this is the part where you start to place your awareness on that. This is the core of shifting. Once you detach from your CR space / body, it’s much easier to have a OOBE. Calmer thoughts / deflated ego = reality detachment. Do this for as long as you have to, but try not to measure time because that will only ground you in this reality more.

(EDIT 3/30: i've realized that if you're truly deep into this state then time literally stops existing. Its like you close your eyes thinking no time passed and then you check and its like half n hour!)

If you must, measure time in how long you’ve shifted, not how long you’ve been trying in your CR. Your ego will try to check and it may feel very strong, but you just have to keep going bestie. I know how it feels. It sucks. You wanted to shift instantly like yesterday, but trust me all it takes is a little faith and then your whole life is changed 🩷

There are no more steps! By this point, I’ve shifted. It works every time! This method only “fails” when you give up.

Theres a post by @annessxhaven that goes into a more spiritual perspective of this method. Creds to them! I finally understand the core of it and have done it successfully, so now I can share results! @shaysplanet also has advice that is similar to this but worded differently ! Stay shifty x

Hey! I understand how you feel cuz this is me sometimes lol and I end up stressing myself out. 🫂

Sometimes we feel stressed out when it comes to visualizing because we feel like we need to forcibly create an entire movie in our head, but in reality we don’t. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between you imagining a full length movie and you imagining two stick dancing figures. As long as you consistently put your attention on it and ‘assume’ you are there, then you will shift.

When I awake shift I DONT make anything super special or detailed. I shift my senses one by one, usually through touch or sound and it works PERFECTLY! And I literally switch scenes like 2093733 times before doing it.

In the moment when you’re doing this, I wouldn’t recommend imagining your wake up scene for too long if you feel like you stress yourself out over details. Think about other things that may anchor you to your DR. As long as you are identifying with your DR self, your Awarness will switch over quickly because 1) you’ll be thinking as your DR self and 2) your mind will assume that because you’re daydreaming and assuming that you’re there and you’re safe, that you have the okay to shift.

Adopt a IDGAF mindset.

Yes, that is what it takes. You need to stop caring about what the 3D shows you. There will be no change if you

Taking too long? Observe yourself. Are you assuming a new identity? (Well, obviously no if you are complaining about how long it's taking) Do you affirm out of lack or do you affirm as if you have it? Do you hate affirming?

How did you shift and how long did it take you

What was it like (physically)

is it ok to permashift . race changing?

sorry if this is too much

ello ellooo 🏇🏽🏇🏽

Thank you sm for the ask 💗 i love getting these!

I shifted through simple means. Command / intention. I laid down in my bed, told myself i would wake up in my DR, and then proceeded with visualizing waking up in my DR. Then, suddenly, I could feel my DR and i was looking at myself in the mirror. It took me over 2-3 years to actually shift.

2. Realer than real. It feels like you jumped into someone else's body, but its yours and your life and everything is natural. (now that ive shifted i can simply say that's just MY experience. not sure how it is for others or if the feeling changes with more experience)

3. Yes to permashifting, meh to racechanging. I plan to permashift myself one day. As for race changing, I just don't see the appeal? Obviously it's your life so do whatever you want, but I just simply don't see why people would want to be any other race than the one they are here. I grew up black and I plan to be black in all my DRs. I'm not sure if i'd call it racist to racechange, bc how can you be racist if you desire to be.. another race?! It only gets racist if you start doing weird shit like racial stereotypes. Yet at the same time i'm also a big gatekeeper so stay your own damn race plz.

Hi love 💗👋🏽

Amazing question here. First off, I need you to realize that you basically answered your own question lol.

Deciding to shift is the exact same as you deciding to manifest things. The exact same. There is no hierarchical difference unless you decide to place things on pedestals and give them more power than you. This mindset was adopted unintentionally, so don't beat yourself up about it. It can be fixed easily.

You need to tell yourself that your reality is yours to rule. If you can manifest a "small" thing then you can 100% manifest a shift. There's no size difference between the two.

As for surrendering w/ doubts, fuck em. Seriously. Treat doubts as if they're just stupid words being spoken by your least fav drunk uncle at the family function. They have no real power. If a doubt pops up, just ignore it and reaffirm your new identity. That's all you need to do. Nothing else. No arguing with it. No crying or crashing out. Just chill in the new you. Your word is law.

And once you actually master your new identity, then give a fuck about shifting. Actually shift. These past days I've just been "pretending" basically. I told myself that i already shifted and at night, i would affirm that i'd wake up in my dr without actually giving a fuck if i did or not. Then, after i felt comfortable in my master shifter identity, i actually tried to connect to my DR, and i shifted!

I want to ask, how do you meditate? I’ve tried guided meditations but those don’t work for me. Do I just lay down and think about nothing? Do you have any tips? I’m not sure how to go about it in regards to shifting

Hi! I just do a set of box breathing. (Inhale 3 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 5). I do this ten times and then begin to affirm to myself that I am calm, relaxed, and simply exist as Awareness. Once I'm done breathing i just ignore my CR and focus on my inner self until I no longer feel my CR! This usually leads to the void state, but it can be used to relax before bed to fall asleep easier. I also do a mini version of this before I want to induce a lucid dream via WILD. In order to shift from this floaty state, either: 1) imagine yourself there in your DR until your senses start to merge.

2) enter the void state and then shift from there.

i have a very stupid question that i’m pretty sure it makes no sense that i’m asking you but ive been on my shifting journey for 6 years now and im really losing hope i feel like everyone can shift but me

are there any tips that made you shift or mindset i should work on?

i had little successes so far such as mini shifting twice (never to my dr) and feeling “symptoms” but never more than that.

Realizing that shifting is nothing but moving your awareness. Once you think of your DR, you’ve already completed half the shift. The next half is to allow yourself to actually be there. 

however,i can’t get past my symptoms so though i feel the progress, i never actually make it there,is there a way to fix it or is there smth i need to do?

stop focusing on physical symptoms. It doesn't help to think about them, I've found. Just focus on your DR in your head. Think about it nonstop and literally tell yourself that you're there / act as if you're there in your head and watch how fast the 'pull' will come.
