shifting is effortless... but do you know what that really means???‧₊˚♪𝄞࿐₊˚⊹

i saw you roll your eyes just now and almost scroll and i get it. mommy not mad at you. this isn't gonna be your average, "you can shift without doing anything. i shift just by blinking. now move along," post. (they're right, but i'm not even gonna touch on shifting instantly just through intention. yes it's possible, yes people do it. yes you can do it. that's not what this is about.) i actually find methods extremely helpful and will encourage anyone to try a method. not to stringently follow some random method from tiktok that they hate and make themselves uncomfortable by laying immobile for hours. but to play around with the parts of different methods they like to make one that works for them. hrrtshape's anti-method went multi-platinum in my bedroom. i am a method enthusiast

we've essentially been conditioned to think that if something doesn't work, we need to try harder. dedicate hours each day to practicing, failing, trying again, exerting all the energy we have to work toward our goals. feels like everyone's shifting journey is turning into the montage song from south park these days. but like.... why would you need to work harder at.... letting go?? if you're trying to tighten your grip on something to loosen your grip on it, you're stagnant. trying so hard to forget something is the most obnoxious reminder of all. that's why you're stuck. immovable object vs. unstoppable force, basically. hustle culture is so bad it's literally making people think they need to work harder at relaxing.

you need to let go. not in the sense that you need to stop caring about shifting or your dr. stop micromanaging every single part of your method and checking to see if you've shifted. it's literally antithetical to your goal.. which is to 1. detach from your cr, and 2. become aware of your dr. your method's purpose is to guide your awareness away from your cr and to your dr. how can you expect that to happen if you keep bringing your attention back to your cr? the goal is not to perfectly execute a method & follow every step without a single mistake. you're not baking a soufflé, take off that apron. you're aiming for detachment from ego, and that can happen completely on accident (this is coming from the PROFESSIONAL accidental shifter, btw. i've played these games before. (i have literally accidentally shifted to squid game.. that's how serious i am about all this. #laur-gyu mentioned but at what cost????))

some of you seem to think that falling asleep while doing your method is worse than continually stopping your method just to confirm to yourself that it hasn't worked. but what is sleep if not the most effortless detachment? that's why sleep methods exist !! a proven effective way to shift > actively preventing the shift by — get this — shifting your awareness back to your cr. that's what checking is. shifting awareness isn't just being here and then being at hogwarts. it's an inescapable part of daily life. guess what? you're breathing manually now (so sorry). just shifted awareness to your breathing. in like 5 minutes you'll forget, and then you won't be aware of it. and that's how easy detaching is, too. you literally just stop bringing your attention to it, and then you detach. can you see the connection between this and your shifting method? every time you bring your attention back to your breathing, it makes it harder to go back to automatic breathing. you're not gonna do it by.. not manually breathing.. harder? same thing with shifting.
