#no visualization method

key: ☾ – asleep methods ☼ – awake methods ✧ – either

this is a method by @kyalongbottom on tiktok, so all credits to them! they specifically advertised this to neurodivergent people.

please go check out kya's socials! their pronouns are they/them, so please remain respectful.

the method ⎯

relax. kya highly recommends this step for neurodivergent people. use this relaxation time to process your day and clear your head.

visualize or find inspiration. now is the time to watch edits of your comfort characters, to go through your pinterest boards, listen to music (with lyrics) that reminds you of your desired reality. kya does not listen to music with lyrics while they shift, so they get that out of the way during this time period. kya also does not visualize during their actual shifting attempt.

turn off all lights and limit your sensory exposure. blow out any candles, turn off aesthetic lighting. kya puts on instrumentals or nature sounds, and they emphasize that they do not listen to anything with talking or singing.

use your senses in your current reality, and connect those sensations to your desired reality. feel your blanket, imagine it's in your desired reality smell the air, imagine that it is your desired reality the goal of this step is to "blur the lines between [your] dr room and cr room"

kya calls this the "falling aspect" of their method. allow yourself to sink into your bed, imagining that your dr world is underneath your mattress and that you are falling into it.

allow yourself to fall asleep.

final push ideas ⎯

kya was kind enough to list some ideas to help you be certain that you have shifted, including;

script that you smell something specific when you arrive in your desired reality so that you are certain that you have shifted (I suggest something that you can reference at home, like a spice from your pantry or lotion)

script that you hear a specific character say something to you

note from kya ⎯

kya says that this method is great for people who feel as though shifting puts a lot of pressure on them and those who find themselves exhausted from trying to shift.

kya also states that they do not shift every single time with this method and sometimes find long pauses between their successful shifting attempts, but that can be the case with any method.

symptoms ⎯

kya notes that they get symptoms around step 4, which include skin prickling / tingling, feeling a temperature change, hearing noises or smelling things from their dr.

at step 5, kya has symptoms of weightlessness, feeling their stomach drop, and seeing flashing lights.

the method ⎯

meditate – although this step is entirely optional, I find it easier to shift / fall asleep when I meditate beforehand. most people choose to listen to 6Hz theta waves or other subliminals during this.

lay down – originally, laying down in the starfish position (where your limbs are as far from each other as possible) was considered a "requirement". this is misinformation. many shifters have found that they shift faster when they lay in a comfortable position and allow themselves to move. for me personally, I get the most symptoms when I lay flat on my back, with my limbs close together but not touching, and don't move. experiment and see what works best for you!

count to 100. I prefer to count on inhales only (inhale 1, exhale, inhale 2, exhale). you can affirm that you are shifting in between each number or in increments.

after you reach 100, affirm that you have shifted to your desired reality. many have found that I am affirmations are most effective for them. if you'd like, you could also visualize, but it is not required.

if you have not fallen asleep or fully shifted yet, you can either restart your counting or affirm until you fall asleep or fully shift. I find that it is easier for me to fall asleep while counting.
