#elevator method

I thought I would make a small post talking about some of the shifting methods that I have tried and what I thought about them. I won't go into detail about how each of these work, but if you’d like me to explain each of them, please let me know and I will make a separate post talking about it.

It is important to remember that these are all obviously my personal opinions on them and they’re all based on personal experiences, just because they didn’t work for me, does not mean they can’t work for you!

Train method:

Visualizing myself in a train was very simple and super relaxing, I didn’t feel distracted by having to visualize the train at all and it made it super easy to visualize what I was actually planning on visualizing in the first place. 

Visualizing one thing and then another felt super smooth and easy, my only trouble with this method is that I’m not too sure I’ve gotten the hang of it yet and it would be really hard for me to tell if I’ve shifted or not.

Elevator method:

Honestly, my least favorite method so far, I had a really hard time concentrating and trying to visualize my DR. Part of the reason why I had such a hard time visualizing my DR was because visualizing myself in an elevator (the doors opening and closing, traveling from one floor to another) was way too distracting and really took me away from the moment and what I was actually meant to be visualizing.

It felt too stiff, and I feel like all of these harsh cuts between each floor it would make it very difficult for me to tell wether I have shifted or not. It wasn’t for me at all.

Alice in Wonderland method:

I haven’t seen many people talking about this one, which seems weird to me because it honestly was much easier and natural for me to visualize than the other two. 

I didn’t have to pay too much attention to visualize my surroundings, my only focus on the character ahead, so it wasn’t half as distracting as the Elevator method, which made it a lot more relaxing and once I started falling it was just very straightforward and I feel like at this point it would be much easier to realize wether you have shifted or not, unlike in the Train and Elevator methods, where I feel like I’d have a harder time telling if I have shifted or not.

Sunni method:

Hate to sound basic but the Sunni method has so far worked the best for me, it’s very simple and to the point. It’s so easy to prepare for and I feel like it’s much more flexible when it comes to what scenes you can visualize and still make the transition feel smooth and natural, and it would make it so much easier to tell wether you’ve shifted or not.

It is worth mentioning that when it comes to all of these, I don’t just lay down and get straight to visualizing, I usually do a combination of them with the Raven method, where before you start visualizing, you count down from 100 to 0 while making affirmations. I did this in hopes of making the transition a little bit easier, and for me personally, it did, so it is something I do recommend you try if you feel like closing your eyes and just visualizing makes you feel a bit stiff.

This method draws inspiration from the hart beat method and the elevator method. It works well for me and I hope it works for you. 

After I finish a guided meditation, I lay down and play elevator sound. I imagine my DR self is on an elevator with their eyes closed. The elevator is going down to where I want to be. I can feel the metal handles of the elevator. I Hear it going down further and further at a steady pace. The velocity remaining constant. I imagine the numbers on the door shifting every once in a while to signify I am slowly reaching my destination. 

As I go down I say these affirmations but you can use anyones you like. I make sure to visualize my DR self saying these words and not just think them. I visualize that as I say these things I morph into my DR self.   

I am shifting. 

I am [insert trait that your DR self has. Anything from clothes to personality] 

I am going to my DR/WR 

My DR/WR is [insert anything that helps you visualize, think of the room or building you want to wake up in]

My DR/WR has [people, places anything that defines your DR/WR. Make sure to visualize]

I will enter my DR/WR today. 

When I wake up [insert what happens when you first wake up. sight, smell, touch]

As I say this and my visualization gets clearer and clearer and I can see where I want to go clearly the elevator doors flutter open revealing that place. The elevator keeps going down opening the door to that place more and more often till the elevator stops and I get out onto a platform slightly above my DR. As I walk down the steps I reinforce my affirmations. Then I see a door, I open it and fall gracefully down into my DR self. I open my eyes.
