#awake method

ironically you sent this after i fell asleep doing a sleep method 😭

now, speaking of sleep methods, i feel compelled to remind everyone — you SHOULD fall asleep when doing a sleep method !!! that’s like the last step !! you let yourself drift off into slumber and you shift !!

i know it can be discouraging when you open your eyes to the same room as the previous night, i know it can feel like failure, but it isn’t because you fell asleep

most of the time, i find that i haven’t woken up in my dr bcs i didn’t properly let go of my cr — letting go is smth i still struggle with, i’ve become so attached to this place?? and that’s ok !! it can take a little practice but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible !!

now, if you’re doing an awake method and you keep falling asleep, here are some tricks you can use :

try shifting with your eyes open

it’s been done !! i know it sounds challenging but this is a good trick to use if you’re really good at zoning out !! and basically you just stare at a spot without actually registering what you’re staring at? the entire point is for you to keep your eyes open and your mind awake with the intention to shift

don’t shift at night

if you know you have a habit of falling asleep, but you would like to be awake for your shift, then stop doing it at night !! i find that whenever i’ve shifted awake (and i have done it!! just for a few seconds tho ..) i always shift right after waking up in the morning, during that almost dreamlike timeframe, when you feel you’re body waking, your eyes aren’t open, but your mind is awake. try shifting then !! i really recommend this bcs you’re waking with the intention to shift, you have a clear goal and yet it’s not something that’s been building up all day that it feels impossible to achieve? i hope that made sense

shift with music on

this can be a double edged sword at times but the key is to pick music that you know you won’t fall asleep to !! not the smooth and soft melodies but rather the more upbeat tunes that get your mind whirring and keep your thoughts focused on your intention to shift, maybe by imagining scenarios that pertain to the song or just imagining yourself in your dr listening to the very same music, maybe it’s songs that your dr friends or s/o introduced to you? make it smth memorable and meaningful but not exactly relaxing, ya know?

i hope this was helpful >.< i don’t shift awake that often so i unfortunately haven’t accumulated as many tricks as i would have liked T^T but still, anon, i wish you all the best <333

summary:

awake method

takes 5-30 minutes

optional subliminals

internal monologue/affirmations

optional visualization

testimonials mostly result in “mini shifts”

i made the following modifications:

nontraditional subliminals (looping instrumental soundtrack. this music would be playing in the area i’m aiming for, so no “breaking the immersion” here. added bonus: i already associate it heavily with my destination so it’ll help me keep it in mind.

doing this in the middle of the day, finally. still going to be in a comfortable position but hopefully i won't fall asleep this time.

final result: no shift.

started to definitely get the described symptoms! vision felt very odd and started to go black. i've had this happen before when i stared at things for a very long time and frankly i think it's because of the cones in your eyes getting tired. but it's still cool that i managed to sit still long enough to get that to start happening. unfortunately i couldn't keep my internal “what will i do today” monologue going for much longer than ten minutes, and then i got distracted and started thinking about tiktok, and then i did exactly what the method told me not to do and zoned out. and then i woke up five minutes later. the powernap was invigorating but it was literally the middle of the day so i don't know why i fell asleep.

changes for next time:

get a better sleep schedule.

I’ve been stuck in what feels like an endless shifting block. You name the method, I’ve probably tried it. I’ve meditated, changed my mindset, made so many scripts, and repeated affirmations until they lost meaning, and still nothing. I fall asleep and wake up right back here. Or I am laying, sitting for hours getting into full void state and having nothing happen and having to get up and continue my day.

No mini shifts, no hearing or feeling my DR 😭

The closest I’ve ever gotten was back in 2022, I thought I could feel my DR surroundings and even heard something, but even then I had to gaslight myself through the whole method. And honestly, that moment felt more like a hallucination from sleep deprivation than an actual shift. I get so jealous reading the storytimes and actuall shifts.

I know I sound negative, but in these five years I’ve been trying to stay positive, trust the process, but for a while now it feels like I’ve hit a wall that no amount of forced belief or mental gymnastics can break down.

So this isn’t one of those posts that ends with a new method recommendation or a “just take a break” I’m not here to hear that again. What I need is real advice something that actually helps move the needle. Something honest.

If you’ve ever been in this place, really in it, you know how draining it is. And if you know how to help please do.

Could be an awake or asleep method, merely adjust to what works for you.

When doing the method envisioning/imagining is required for this method. If you cannot do this alter this method heavily or use a different method.

It is best if you envision by looking out of your eyes and not a "floating camera" looking upon yourself during this method.

────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────

Start this method by envisioning your OR Self, you will begin to envision yourself the way your DR Self is when instructed by the method.

Once you are comfortable and feel ready to begin, you can envision your OR self with primogems floating around you in whatever way you want. But after some time the primogems turn blue and a few purples flying out in front of you. They fly out and you see them go underneath clouds underneath your feet. This can repeat as many times as you want but none of the primogems become gold wishes.

When you feel ready to shift envision the body of your OR self, turn into a golden wish and fly out into the clouds along with 9 other wishes (of any color). You as the wish can fly over any location in Tevet that you want but when you land envision your DR self, standing in the place you will "wake up" when you shift.

Bonus: Instead of just blue wishes around you, you can another 5 or 4 star which is your weapon or companion (if you have one). The same could be done with others if you are group shifting.
