#i am method

If you asked me to keep only one manifestation technique forever, I wouldn't even pause. I'd choose I AM without hesitation. Not because it's mystical. Not because it's the quickest. But because it keeps reminding me of something I used to forget: the Law of Assumption doesn't manifest by chasing; it manifests by becoming the version of me who already has it. Every desire I've ever had started making sense once I understood those two simple words: I AM.

Neville Goddard often emphasized the words "I AM" because they describe your identity before anything else. Before "I am rich," "I am loved," or "I am successful," there is simply I AM. It is your awareness of being. The Law of Assumption has never been about repeating words until you're exhausted. It has always been about assuming an identity so naturally that it begins to feel like you. Your assumptions create your experience, and your identity is the root of those assumptions.

This is why I love the I AM method so much. It feels gentle instead of forceful. I'm not trying to convince reality to change. I'm allowing myself to become someone different within. When I say, "I am spoiled," I don't feel like I'm begging for gifts. I'm simply describing myself. Then everything else—being treated well, receiving presents, feeling cherished—becomes a natural extension of that identity. The desire no longer feels separate from me because I've become the person who experiences it.

For me, this method creates a feeling of completeness. Instead of constantly thinking, "I want this," I start thinking, "This is just who I am." That shift changes everything. There's a huge difference between someone who wants confidence and someone who simply says, "I am confident." One keeps searching. The other starts living from it. That's why I always return to I AM whenever I feel overwhelmed. It brings me back to myself.

The purpose of I AM isn't to impress the universe or unlock a hidden manifestation code. Its purpose is to remind you of your chosen identity. The Law of Assumption responds to what you accept as true about yourself. If you consistently identify as someone who is loved, abundant, beautiful, successful, or peaceful, those assumptions begin shaping the way you experience life. You aren't forcing reality—you are changing the lens through which reality is experienced.

One thing I also love is how personal this method is. My I AM statements don't have to match yours. Maybe yours are, "I am always lucky," "I am unforgettable," "I am financially free," or "I am deeply loved." Mine reflect the life I choose to identify with. That's what makes this practice feel alive. There isn't a perfect list that everyone must copy. Make the Law yours. Choose assumptions that feel simple, believable, comforting, or exciting. Your relationship with the Law doesn't need to look like anyone else's.

If you want to try it, don't overcomplicate it. Pick one identity that genuinely excites you. Repeat it during your day or night or whenever it naturally comes to mind. More importantly, let yourself become familiar with that version of you. You're not trying to earn it—you are claiming it. Eventually those words stop feeling like affirmations and start feeling like facts. That's when something beautiful happens: you stop checking whether it's working because you've already accepted who you are.

hello, I am Sylvie. My pronouns are she/her, and I'm 22 y.o.

I am a shifter (DR: Tolkienverse/TH/LOTR). I haven't "shifted" yet, but we'll get there 🙂‍↕️

I am looking for shifting friends to talk about our drs, shifting experiences, recommend methods, and help e/o (+16 only ☺️)

feel free to dm me or send questions to my inbox, I will do my best to lend a hand !!

before getting into the void, let's start with understanding what is a state. according to neville, a state is, "an attitude of mind, a state of experience with a body of beliefs which you live by. always expressing a state, you identify yourself with it by saying: “i am poor or i am rich. i am known or i am unknown. i am wanted or i am unwanted."

it's basically how you identify yourself and what are your beliefs about yourself.

read this post for a clear understanding of the states.

what is the void state? void state, also known as the "i am state" is a state in which you are a formless being. time stops, and there's nothing but blackness around you. void, according to google means "empty space". when you're in the void state, you're in a state of pure consciousness. you aren't in your body anymore. you're shapeless. don't worry if all of this scares you, the void isn't scary at all. and it's not at all hard to get into. you need to be super relaxed!

you get all your desires into the void easily and effortlessly!

ways to get into the void state :

you can also use my subliminal for the void! here's the link 🔗

there are a lot of ways to get into the void. here are some of it :

|•| commanding your subconscious.

you can just order your subconscious to get you into the void state. before sleeping, assume you're gonna wake up in the void, command your subconscious by saying, "subconscious, get me into the void state" and then sleep in the belief that you'll wake up there. belief plays an important role here. PLEASE acknowledge your power.

|•| sleep paralysis.

now, sleep paralysis isn't scary at all. if you assume, you're going to see demons and stuffs there, then you will. that's why change your assumptions and turn them into your favour.

okay, there are many ways to get sleep paralysed, you can either use a subliminal or just stay still for some time (till your body falls asleep, for this you don't have to move at all but only think or daydream) or you can even affirm to get paralysed. here is a subliminal for sleep paralysis.

after you're paralysed, start affirming for the void.

"i am"

"i am in the void state"

"i am pure consciousness"

are some affirmations you can use.

you can even command your subconscious to get into the void.

|•| SATS.

read this post for more information on sats. you can visualize scenes that imply you are in the void/you woke up with your desires after getting into the void. you can even just intend.

|•| lullaby method.

same as sats, but the main difference is you affirm instead of visualizing. like start when you're sleepy, or start earlier if you fall asleep quicker, start affirming for the void, then you'll fall asleep and you'll wake up there!

|•| affirming.

you just stay still and affirm till you get into the void. DON'T MIND THE ITCHY FEELING, don't get tempted by it. it means you're close, don't move at all. instead, focus on affirming.

also, some people feel a lot of itchiness and tingling and some, really not much. so, even if you're not feeling tingly, KEEP AFFIRMING!

|•| my personal way to get into the void !

WARNING : this works really fast (yep, i'm dramatic) !!!!

1. have assumptions on the void which help me.

2. before going to sleep, i KNOW i'm gonna get into the void for sure because it's easy af.

3. lay down and focus on my breathing for a while and relax myself.

4. close my eyes and affirm 10-15 times, "i am in the void state".

5. visualize myself with my desires vividly and feel it real ONLY ONCE.

6. sleep and then i'll wake up there!

what to do after getting into the void?

affiirm for your desires or visualize or command your subconscious, you can do anything to manifest, whichever way you like! it totally depends on you.

a little tip! —

start assuming you always manifest as fast as the void! it'll really help you. (cr. to angel's anon, I STAN YOU! ♡)

here's why you're "failing" + its solution

so you're wondering why you're still not able to get into the void? if yes, then change your assumptions about the void. main reason why people struggle is because they've put the void onto a pedestal. YOU'RE THE GOD. it's you who has power, not the void state. stop treating it like something you need to achieve. assume you get into the void easily, and it's as easy as blinking. people have literally got into the void in their first attempt, why should it be hard when you know you're the one in control? if you're finding a way to get into the void easily, here's the secret to it. just assume you're a pro at entering the void. that's all you need to do. if you truly believe in this assumption, then i promise you, you'll get into the void just by your intention.

one more reason why people "fail" is because of their shitty self concept. there's a reason why blogs say to work on it. your conception of self moulds the world around you. once that is positive, nothing will stop you. okay answer me, if you're god, why would you struggle with void? i mean you can do literally anything, right? you're not struggling with the void state instead you're just overcomplicating the shit out of it. like all you gotta do is lay down, affirm for the void without moving, and then BAM! you're there. it's that easy. change your assumptions, please.

motivation for the void <3

so you're a lazy bum. you don't want to work on your self concept, you don't want to do anything. IT'S OKAY! who said you need to work here? nope! not even move. self concept is so easy, literally. you just decide you have a good one and then persist. that's it! think and it's yours. imagination creates reality, get it? so now, you're lazy af but still want to try the void? sure! just decide you're gonna get into the void and sleep in the assumption that you're gonna wake up there! ok? i mean that's the easiest thing you can do. you just need to sleep and you'll get there. change your assumptions and make them into your favour. imagine yourself with all your desires. don't you want that? and the fact that you don't have to lift a single finger for that! isn't that amazing?

QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE VOID METHOD !

what do i get with the void? is there a limit?

you can manifest literally anything you want. if you can think of it, you can manifest it! no, there's no limit. you're the god. you're limitless!

what to do when i can't get into the void even after multiple attempts? i feel like giving up.

first of all, it's okay to feel like giving up. don't worry, that doesn't make you any less of a god! secondly, work on your self concept + change your thoughts about the void. i told this before, and i'll say this again. you're what makes the void easy/hard. it really does depend on your assumptions. like you're the god, why should it be any hard for you? and, if the void is tiring you, just leave it. there's tons of other methods which are effective + fast!

how do i focus?

my main advice to people who can't focus is try meditating before sleeping (it can be a guided one if you want). now again, meditation isn't important, it's just a way to calm your brain down and it really helps in focusing! also, just assume it away. you're having trouble focusing? assume you can focus efficiently!

how do i have the confidence i'll get into the void after a lot of failed attempts?

remember you're the god and you never fail. remind yourself how you have acknowledged your power and how you have changed your assumptions, so now, it'll be easy as hell for you.

what to do when i can't get past the feeling of floating?

okay, so don't focus on time, firstly. if you keep thinking, "oMg It'S bEeN 2 mInUtEs" then stop! time doesn't matter, okay? and then, KEEP AFFIRMING! or keep doing what you do, you're almost there, i promise you. main reason why you might be feeling "stuck" is because you assume you're stuck! stop. assuming. stuff. which. don't. favour. you.

what's the longest it should take?

depends on your assumptions. WHATEVER TIME YOU ASSUME IT'LL TAKE, IT WILL! that's why assume you get in there in 30 seconds.

do you need the void state to get your desires instantly?

NOO! you can do any method/do no method at all to get your desires overnight/instantly. the void isn't necessary for that. you can just affirm and wake up living your dream life. this method is one of the million ways to manifest! remember, at the end, you're the one in power!

when do we know we're doing it wrong?

YOU'RE NOT DOING IT WRONG. STOP ASSUMING THAT. STOP ACKNOWLEDGING THE UNFAVORABLE THINGS?!&@$_#

how to not fall asleep?

START EARLIER! and before going to bed, start thinking about how you're gonna enter the void. have thoughts like, "i am gonna get into the void tonight!!", " the void is so easy, let's get in tonight" i get how disappointed you might feel when you wake up after you fell asleep by mistake, but this will help, i promise!

how would i know i'm in the void?

1. you won't be in your room anymore.

2. your surrounding don't exist that's why everything around you would be pitch black.

3. you're not in your body.

4. you can't hear anything.

(cr. to @divineangelbee)

i'm impatient. how do i get into the void fast, like in seconds/minutes?

i told this so many times. just assume you get into the void in seconds/minutes!! done. it's that simple. or if you want, create your own little way to get into the void, you make the rules, okay? like you can assume, affirming 10 times and then going to sleep gets me into the void, and it WILL!

Is it important to sleep after getting into void? Can't I just get up from bed and see my df in mirror than sleeping. I feel like I will be so excited after going into the void that I'll not be able to sleep. What do you think?

you can! ofc, you can just wake up from the void and have your desires.

do i have to assume that the void gives me instant results for it to work?

nope! the void always gives instant results. you don't have to assume it.

i start getting excited/distracted after feeling tingles and then my mind wanders over my body, what should i do?

let's say you're studying, and then out of nowhere, you lose focus, what would you do? remind yourself that you need to focus on studying and then try to get your focus back? right? then do the same here! don't worry, a little wandering away doesn't "spoil" anything! you're the god, it's okay.

what to do when you feel floatiness/what if it goes away

nothing. keep affirming, it's okay if that happens, it really doesn't matter. focus on your affirming!

what should my assumptions be for the void?

1. the void is easy af for me.

2. it takes me ______ seconds to get into the void.

3. i am a pro at getting into the void.

4. i have the best self concept.

5. i get into the void just by commanding or intending.

why haven't i entered the void?

CHANGE. YOUR. DAMN. ASSUMPTIONS.

how to distract yourself when you feel strong urges to move?

start thinking about how your life would be with your desires! focus on that, and if it really gets out of hand, remind yourself THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET ALLLL YOUR DESIRES! be patient with yourself <3

is lucid dreaming void as well? can i manifest through it?

nope! lucid dreaming is way different than the void. the void is literally NOTHING. you're nothing. everything around you, it's nothing. pitch blackness. literal VOID. and yes, you can manifest through lucid dreaming. assume that you can and you will be able toto manifest through that and it'll be as instant as the void.

Haven’t been here in a minute, but we are still on a mission to shift. I had an interesting experience last night. Before going to bed, I like to play subliminal’s or theta waves, I also like to repeat affirmations in my head.  I do that just to help my chances with shifting. Anyway, I was doing that last night and I was literally on the verge of falling asleep, however I didn’t. 

I continued to say “I am” and “I am more than this physical body” affirmations in my head. This method is commonly known as the ‘I Am Method” or “The Julia Method”. 

As I continued to repeat the affirmations, I found that I started to experience symptoms, but it could’ve also meant that my body was falling asleep. Anyway things were happening, it kind of felt like I was spinning and then everything just went quiet, and that is the problem there. 

I assumed that I was sleeping, but my mom had came and got me and that’s when I realized I was awake the entire time. I was in a state of calmness and quietness, which is why I think I had entered the void state. 

I’m also going to link this subliminal, and I’m going to say now THAT IT WORKS WONDERS, every single time I listen to this I get serious symptoms without even trying.

Hello, Anon!

I assume it’s something close to a SATS (State Akin To Sleep) or a meditative state. When you shift using any method, you go into a SATS. However, the Julia Method has you repeat “I AM” until you reach it; it’s special in that regard. 

Also: people might not like using the acronym for State Akin To Sleep because most people associate SATS with standardized testing and don’t want to explain it sjdfklds

However, I’ve never heard that term "Void State” before, and I may be wrong. I’m just giving my best guess. If anyone else has heard the term, please add on!

it's a method where you use i am affirmations to shift :)

you use just the words 'i am' to get your subconscious into a suggestive state

repeat them til you feel a bit hazy/your body's asleep
