READ TO THE END IF YOU WANT TO MASTER SHIFTING REALITIES, VOID STATE, LUCID DREAMING, ASTRAL PROJECTION, AND SLEEP PARALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
please read at least this paragraph to the end. i know many people roll their eyes and scroll when they are told to apply the law of assumption, be persistent and ignore 3d. you may think that this is long, tedious and will not work, and youโd better try that new x method, thanks to which you will definitely shift or enter the void tonight. โi have difficult circumstances. i need this today. i donโt want to waste time on the law of assumptionโ. okay, and how many of โthose nightsโ have passed? how many years have you been trying? how many times have you achieved success after making such statements? how many times have you disregarded the law and woken up again in this reality without your desires? and how many more years are you going to waste your time? break the cycle. in a week in goddess state, you will achieve more than if you tried a new method every day for a year
still don't want to apply the law of assumption? come on, try to shift or enter the void state today. if you donโt succeed (and iโm sure of this, forgive the harshness), then you will return to this post, read it completely and carefully and follow my instructions

โ MY FAVORITE LUCKYKIWIII101'S POSTS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD READ
โan assumption, though false, persisted in will harden into factโ. your thoughts, beliefs and assumptions create your reality. we are used to thinking that 3d is our true reality, but this is not so. 3d is a mirror that reflects your 4d
if you want something, then all you have to do is decide that you already have it and be persistent. many of you misunderstand the meaning of this word in the context of the law of assumption. repeating affirmations, listening to subliminals for 24 hours and doing methods at every opportunity is not persistent. โpersistence is remaining in a state of fulfilled desire. to be persistent means to stick to your assumptions regardless of what 3d reality shows you. if you react to 3d, then you are not persistentโ
by reacting to 3d, you do not allow new assumptions to form in your subconscious. imagine that 3d asks again and again if you are sure that you have mastered void, shifting realities, lucid dreaming, etc. โare you sure? are you 100% sure? but you said before that you always fail. i don't think you're sure. look, you woke up again in this reality without desires. what? do you really believe what you're saying? i ask you again, are you absolutely sure?โ. instead of giving a positive answer every time, you immediately give up and scroll through tumblr looking for a new method. you must be persistent, even if you do not get what you want in 3d after a week, a month or a year
(this is a bit of an exaggeration because i said it as an example., but i forbid you to think that manifestation lasts that long. โboth 3d and 4d always show me only what i want to see. my 3d instantly reflects my 4d,โ โ this is your new assumption, whether you like it or not)
if you have negative thoughts, and we most likely will, then immediately replace them with positive ones. negative thoughts also include anticipation of desire. remind yourself again and again that you already have what you want and you are not waiting for it to manifest itself. if you catch yourself thinking that you are waiting for your manifestation, then remind yourself that you already have it
don't think that negative thoughts are ruining your progress or that you have to start over. no, as long as you are on a mental diet, you are doing everything right. by the way, posts about mental diet that you must read:

FULL GUIDE
DECIDE
literally right now, decide that you have mastered void, shifting realities, manifestation, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, and astral projection. don't you dare pick one thing from this list. take my advice and decide that you've mastered it all. do you just want to shift on command? okay, but the ability to instantly enter the void and control dreams wouldn't be out of place, would it? especially considering that you don't have to put in any effort, you just have to decide
decide that you are a master of manifestation. decide that you are manifesting desires instantly. decide that 3d instantly reflects 4d. decide that both 3d and 4d show only what you want. decide what always works in your favor
decide that you are a master of the void state. decide that you have the perfect void concept. decide that you can easily enter the void state anytime and anywhere. decide that you have been successfully inducing pure consciousness all your life. decide that to enter the void you just need to close your eyes. decided that every night you wake up in a state of void being aware
decide that you are a master shifter. decide that you shift easily and effortlessly. decide that you are in your desired reality right now. decide that you always wake up in your desired reality. decide that you shift on command. decide that the intention is enough for you to shift. decide that you have successfully shifted all your life
decide that you are a master of lucid dreaming. decide that you have lucid dreams every night. decide that all your life you have seen only lucid dreams. decide that you are in control of your dreams. decide that you easily shift from a lucid dream. decide that you effortlessly enter the void state from a lucid dream
decide that you are a master of sleep paralysis. decide that closing your eyes is enough to induce sleep paralysis. decide that you are always relaxed and calm during sleep paralysis. decide that you have safe sleep paralysis. decide that you wake up several times a night in sleep paralysis. decide that you can easily induce sleep paralysis in less than a minute. decide that you can easily shift from sleep paralysis. decide that you effortlessly enter the void state from sleep paralysis
decide that you are a master of astral projection. decide that you astral project every night. decide that all your out-of-body experiences are safe. decide that you can easily shift from astral projection. decide that you effortlessly enter the void state from astral projection
decide right now or after you read this post. don't put it off until tomorrow or monday
MANIFEST
important part. manifest your desires. solve any problems using the law of assumption. you can do it right now, you don't have to wait until you enter the void or shift. it's easy. all you have to do is decide. iโm not asking you to affirm, listen to subliminals, do sats, etc. you just need to think that you already have everything you want and be persistent in this assumption
want a new phone? ok, just decide that it's already yours. you don't have to try to enter the void tonight to manifest a new phone. do you have the flu? decide that you are always healthy (by the way, this does not mean that you should not take medications. take them, but be persistent in the assumption that you never get sick). again, you don't even have to move your fingers. besides, negative beliefs will not make your life better. do negative thoughts fulfill your desires? no, so why pay attention to them? just enjoy the feeling of fulfilled desire. just enjoy the fact that you always get what you want
by the way, manifest something "unrealistic". telekinesis, magic wand, the ability to fly or talk to animals. thereโs nothing difficult about randomly remembering once a day that you can fly, right? let your subconscious know that you can literally do anything
PERSISTENCE
my honest opinion: if you are not able to be persistent, your desire is not that important to you. if you react to 3d and give up, then you donโt want to change your life so much. in order to manifest what you want, you need to be persistent in a new assumption
4d is true reality, 3d is a mirror. live in your imagination, live in the end, only then will 3d reflect your new assumptions and beliefs. these people achieved success because they accepted that imagination is the only reality. you are no worse than them. you can be persistent. and you will be persistent
know that your failure will not affect my life in any way. but it will affect you. if you finally become persistent, then you will get everything you dreamed of all that time. do it for yourself. do it for the sake of experimentation. what if you succeed?
METHODS
let's start with the method of manifestation. all i require you to do is decide, be persistent, ignore 3d, replace negative thoughts with positive ones. this is literally the basis of the law of assumption
in addition to this, you may want to use manifestation methods such as robotic affirmations, subliminals, sats, meditation, etc. overall i'm 50% okay with it. everything is fine as long as you don't put methods on a pedestal. if you start to think that without following one of the methods you will not be able to manifest your desires, then this is a red signal. just relax. you will shift, enter the void void, do astral projection, etc., even if you donโt repeat affirmations from morning to evening or donโt listen to your entire playlist. donโt force yourself to lie on your back and visualize the desired reality during sats. do what you like and when you want it. affirm, visualize, make mood boards, etc., but donโt make it a mandatory action. don't force yourself to do anything you don't want to do. and remember you change 4d and 3d, not methods
and i also urgently, on my knees, beg you to abandon methods for void, shifting, sleep paralysis, lucid dreams, etc. if you knew how wonderful it is to lie on your side at night and just fall asleep. no need to lie on your back, affirm, visualize, count. you just fall asleep without setting alarms for wbtb. no meditation, pink noise, theta waves. you donโt feel guilty or angry because youโre too lazy to do the methods. you don't scold yourself because you roll over on your side and fall asleep in the middle of the method. you don't feel disappointed that the method didn't work (in 3d, of course). this is a relief and peace that you could have experienced all this time, but for some reason you denied yourself it
yes, i know itโs strange to hear from someone who previously published methods. ah, but what's the difference? it was a long time ago and not true. now i make myself comfortable on the bed and let my thoughts flow. if i want, then i fantasize about all sorts of things, if i want, then I think about the desired reality. and only sometimes i affirm that i have mastered void, shifting, lucid dreams, sleep paralysis. i think a little about my happy life, only because i accidentally remembered it. i don't force myself to do anything i don't want to do
i say again, i am firmly against the methods! in order to shift, you donโt need to lie motionless in the starfish position for two hours. just decide! be persistent! but if you still want to do it your way, then do it right. if your attempt is unsuccessful, do not react to 3d. decide what you shifted. decide that you have entered the void state. remember the mental diet. however i still recommend not doing the methods
MENTAL DIET
itโs better, of course, to decide that negative thoughts donโt arise in you, but if they do arise, replace them with positive ones. pay attention to your inner conversation. again, if a negative thought arises, immediately replace it with a positive one. replace one negative thought with 10 positive ones
โi woke up again in the current realityโ >>>ย โiโm so happy that i woke up in my desired reality. iโm a master of shifting. in addition, i mastered the void, lucid dreams, sleep paralysis. and i always get what i want instantlyโ
โi envy her so much. i canโt wait to share my success storyโ >>>ย โi never envy anyone. i have a dream life. my success story is much better than hers. one post is not enough for all my success stories, because i shift and enter the void literally every hourโ
โi had such a terrible nightmare last nightโ >>>ย โi have lucid dreams every night. i forgot the last time i had ordinary non-lucid dreams. by the way, i can easily control lucid dreams! there is nothing easier than entering the void state from a lucid dreamโ
โif i don't enter the void today, i won't pass my examsโ >>>ย โhow could i forget that i had already passed my exams with a perfect score? and every night i wake up in a void state. i love being a manifestation masterโ
โwhat if it's not true? maybe they're all lyingโ >>>ย โthe law of assumption is the truth. why? because i said so. because i already have a dream life. because i've already shifted and entered the void state a million timesโ
โif i don't induce sleep paralysis tonight, i won't shiftโ >>>ย โboo! who said this nonsense? everyone knows that i have mastered both reality shifting and sleep paralysis. even infants know thisโ
something like this. have you read those posts about the mental diet, the link to which i left at the top? don't forget about such a wonderful thing as revision. if you forgot about the mental diet and indulged in negative thoughts all day, then just change your memories. โiโm so proud that i only had positive thoughts todayโ
LIAR
there are times when you have to break a mental diet. what to do? lie. say the โtruthโ out loud, but in your mind persistently deny it. for example, your mother asked how you passed your physics test. give her an โhonestโ answer, but mentally affirm over and over again that you passed the test. review this moment. but if someone on this site asks you, for example, have you ever shifted, you can either safely ignore it, or say that you have already shifted a million times because you decided so
TIME
stop waiting. stop waiting for you to shift or enter the void state. stop waiting for your first lucid dream, sleep paralysis and astral projection. time doesnโt exist you already have your desires. if you notice that you are waiting for your manifestations, then immediately remind yourself that you already have everything you want! don't count the hours, days, weeks. there is only the eternal now and it is up to you to decide what you are thinking about at this moment
โi hope i enter the void before fridayโ >>>ย โwait a minute. so i already enter the void every night. i just need to close my eyes for two seconds and i immediately induce pure consciousnessโ
โi've been applying the law of assumption for a week now, but nothing has changedโ >>>ย โwhat the hell week? i literally have lucid dreams my whole life and wake up in the void state, in sleep paralysis and the desired reality 5 times a nightโ
โif i persist for two weeks, i will finally shift to desired realityโ >>>ย โgoddess, i'm in my desired reality right now. i'm a master shifter. shifting is very easy. i'm already shiftedโ
โwhen will 3d reflect 4d?โ >>>ย โ3d has already reflected my 4d. 3d instantly shows me my desires. what is time lag? this is the first time i've heard of thisโ
if you catch yourself thinking that you are waiting for manifestation, immediately change this thought to a positive one. forget about waiting and worry. these feelings will not make your life better. forget about such nonsense as time lag
CIRCUMSTANCES
i know many of you may have difficult circumstances. but thinking about it you only complicate your life. your thoughts, assumptions and beliefs create your reality. please ignore 3d and your life will become much easier. know that people before you have succeeded in unbearable circumstances (poverty, abuse, death of loved ones, illness). they had doubts just like you, but they lived in the end and were persistent (+ this)
this doesn't mean you can't cry or be angry. no matter what you do, only what you think has power. give vent to your emotions, but be persistent in the fact that you have already succeeded. yes, it can be difficult and unusual, but you have to do it if you want to get rid of undesirable circumstances once and for all
do you have painful periods? cry, donโt hold back your tears, but insist that this is not so. be persistent in the fact that you have pain-free periods
are your abusive parents beating you again? scream and cry with anger, hit the pillow, but please ignore the 3d. repeat again and again that you are already in your desired reality, where you have loving parents
are you angry because all the housework is on you? no, no, convince yourself that you are not washing the floors right now. no, your useless brother does, and in the meanwhile you are enjoying a delicious cake
know that it is never too late to change negative thoughts to positive ones. even if two hours ago you reacted to 3d and cried bitterly, cursing your life, now you can decide that this did not happen. i donโt think i want to leave links to posts about revision for the third time. i hope you have already read them. in very emotional moments, try to remind yourself that your thoughts create your 3d reality
let the undesirable circumstances be a reminder that you already have everything you want. is the Internet not working? the Internet is fast at all times and everywhere, and besides, you've mastered the void. not enough money? not only are you rich, but you also shift easily and quickly
SUCCESS
please do not share your mini successes. did you have your first lucid dream? iโm sincerely happy for you, but donโt you dare write something like โtoday i realized i was in a dream!! i tried to create a portal, but it didnโt work out. next time i will undoubtedly enter a void.โ honey, you just threw your mental diet in the trash
either you wait until you achieve the final goal (shifting, void), or you share your success without breaking the mental diet. โthis morning i woke up in sleep paralysis. although it was predictable, iโm a master of sleep paralysis and void. why? because i decided soโ or โin the evening i was lying on the couche and shifted to my desired reality, but i quickly came back. anyway, i can shift there again whenever i want, because it's not difficult for meโ
DOUBTS
if you feel that you are being overcome by doubts, read loa posts, this post and all those posts to which i left links. i also recommend reading more success stories >>> @loasuccessarchive
know that people have succeeded in manifestation even though they often had doubts. but they continued to be persistent, thanks to which they shifted and entered the void state. if they could do it, so can you
EPILOGUE
this post is my first child. so i hope you read it from start to finish because the labor lasted a week if not more. i wish you good luck! i truly believe that you will begin to apply the law of assumption. are you aware that i have already decided that you have already sent me your success stories? there's no point in putting it off any longer, darlings! be persistent and i will be persistent in the assumption that you are successful <3

i am not a buddhist nor a Hindu myself. I am a practicing Orthodox Christian. But when it comes to searching for shifting /loa /manifesting /spiritualism? i'll take whatever i can find. Now look, these ancient teachings don't have a magic wand that says "lets just jump in there" ,but they do have a pretty powerful "shortcuts" that will instantly plunge the mind into that void. Specifically, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, the esoteric branch of Hinduism, offers 112 different methods for instantly stopping the mind and pushing it into that void.
First of all, ''the space between two breathes'' (Kumbhaka) In buddhism and hinduism, the greatest secret is that microscopic moment when one breath ends but another doesn't begin. That moment is when you disconnect from this world. And yeah it has an easy way.. breathe in, breathe out. Stop at the exact second u exhale. Focus on the silence that occurs when your lungs are empty. That void is actually your shifting gateway. The longer you prolong those seconds, the more your physical body begins to fade away. And oh, also, be careful and start SLOW. Cause If u do it incorrectly or forcefully, you may experience dizziness, stress, or even fainting...
Second thing ive found is.. "Neither this nor that" (Advaita Vedanta) That is the fastest way to eliminate the mind (the logical left lobe of ur brain). In shifting, every time you say, "i am this, i am here," you are anchored to that reality. Lie down in bed and say to everything that crosses your mind that; Is your body tingling? "nope that's not me." or did you hear a sound? "that's not me." did a thought come to ur mind? "that's not me." Basically reject everything until nothing remains. That remaining pure "awareness" is the void itself... What remains? According to Vedanta, the unchanging, observing pure awareness. That is, the inner, "observing thing." They call it Atman, and surprisingly, it is said to be the same as Brahman. So, individual self = universal reality. Non duality? it's easy to understand, but quite difficult to live with. cause the mind is constantly addicted to labeling itself, saying "this is who i am, this is what i am." it's like stripping the mind bare, leaving it completely exposed. You shed layers upon layers. And the human ego doesn't exactly love that, mind you...
Now ''Dharana'', think of the discipline of The Hierophant card. Instead of dividin the mind into a thousand pieces, confining it to a single point allows reality to break...Close your eyes and focus only on that point between your eyebrows,aka the 3rd eye, or just a single white spot in your mind. Think of nothing else. After a while, the mind will give a "system error" and throw you back into that single point, into the void. Dharana, in yoga, means concentration. But not at the level of "alrigh i put my phone down and focused for 5 minutes." It means literally fixing your mind on a single object. Thr rule is lowkey simple.. If the mind wanders, u bring it back. If it wanders again, you bring it back again. ''Dharana'' focus, ''Dhyana'' uninterrupted flow, meditation; ''Samadhi'' complete union, dissolution of the sense of "self"....
The easiest way to do this is actually to "stop searching." Theres a saying in buddhism that "as long as you keep searching, you won't find, because the seeker is what she seeks." You think shifting is about going somewhere "out there," but these teachings say, "Youre already everywhere, you just choose to focus on this body." Stop "trying to go." Try relinquishing this reality as if you were already there. By releasing the energy of the 4 Pentacles aka the holding on energy, and 9 Wands, in your cards, and simply "being" like The Sun, that door will open by itself.
How I entered the void in less than 5 minutes last night (If someone doesnโt shift with this, Iโll scream)
I wouldnโt be sharing this and putting myself at risk of sounding like a lunatic who posted one method, and is now posting yet another version of it, if I didnโt have a reason for it. Idk, gut feelings are hard to explain (Iโm aware I sound insane right now)
But Iโve never been more excited to share something in my life, sooo that might attest to something.
This will work for everyone in some way. And Iโve never been more certain of anything ever. (Except for the time I pspspspsโd at a black kitty on the sidealk at night, which ended up being a trash bag, and I found out I had horrible eyesightโbut thatโs not the point here).
This isnโt anything brand new. Itโs like my method people have been seeing results with, but stripped down to its bones. Simplified to the core, which Iโve learned actually makes it more effective.
(unless youโre someone who prefers something detailed and objective, then yeah, stick to my main method and ignore this)
This doesnโt care about your beliefs. Doesnโt care about your identity, your self-concept, your doubts, your contradictions. It doesnโt matter if youโre into non-duality, law of assumption, law of attraction, or donโt even have a belief system. This method does not give a single shit. And I say that with confidence, because when this worked for me last night, I was crying. Genuinely, majorly depressed. Everything I usually cling to, all my beliefs about shifting and consciousness and the nature of realityโI wasnโt mulling over any of it. I was flat out over existence itself, and it still worked.
The set-up:
โข First, understand something: The screen of space youโre looking at right nowโeven if your eyes are closedโis the same screen where your DR, CR, the void, your dreamsโฆ all of itโฆ will appear. Thatโs your canvas. Always.
โข This works best with WBTB (wake back to bed), so set an alarm for about 3 hours after you fall asleep. You want to wake up just tired enough that going back to sleep is easy, but youโll still have some control. (You can also do this as youโre going to bed, but it was 3 AM for me after I had woken up,,, so do with that info what you want).
โข Now, get this into your head: Youโre not entering the void or shifting from a place of calm or confidence. Youโre doing it from pure exhaustion. Youโre doing it from โfuck this shit, Iโm doing it anyway.โ
You can doubt. You can feel like shit. But the attitude that follows is โfuck it.โ Youโre tired of trying, and tired of being on this journey. So youโre just gonna do it. Fuck it.
What to do:
โข Lie on your back. (I personally like my back, but Iโve done it on my side too, and it still works. Doesnโt matter. Donโt overthink it. This doesnโt matter)
โข You can move. Just donโt care that you moved. After the next step, you wonโt even be paying attention to your body anyway, and itโll go numb naturally,, so the idea here is โfuck it, this doesnโt matter.โ
โข Now: Notice the black behind your eyes. Just that. The blackness. Donโt try to notice your awareness yet. Just focus on the black. Look at it. Really look at it. LOOK. Keep choosing to look at it again and again. Widen your eyes over and over again, and keep refocusing on it. This will keep you alert, but youโre not forcing yourself to stay alert, got it? It happens naturally, because youโre reeeeally looking at the black behind your eyes.
โข Your bodyโs gonna want to fall asleep. Donโt fight it, donโt care about it, because the fact that youโre looking at the black behind your eyes will naturally keep you from falling asleep.
โข You keep your mind locked on that black space, almost like youโre watching a movie screen, but nothingโs playing yet. What happens? Youโll keep wanting to fall asleepโbut widening your eyes and choosing to watch the black will keep waking you up. Youโll be in this liminal place going: โFuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it. Iโm doing this. Fuck it. Donโt care.โ
(What I mean by โwidening your eyesโ even though theyโre closed is: when your eyes are closed, donโt let them go slack like they do when you're falling asleep. Keep them wide and alert, like you're trying to watch something in the dark. You're not tensing them, just holding that sense of openness, like you're staring through your eyelids).
โข What happens next: Suddenly youโll feel your awareness. Youโre just awareness now. Naturally. You didnโt right off the bat try to pay attention to your awareness,, you just realized that you are it. Why? Because when you feel confined to that black space behind your eyelids like a coffin, with nothing else around you, thereโs nowhere else to run to other than your awareness. Your body will be numb, and your surroundings distant, irrelevant. And youโll think: โWaitโฆ Iโm just my awareness.โ
โข And then your brain might do what it always does: โOh no. What if Iโm overthinking? What if Iโm messing it up?โ And you remind yourself: โIโm literally awareness. I can overthink if I want. Iโm awareness goddamnit. Fuck it.โ
โข Youโll start switchingโback and forthโbetween two things (because thereโs nowhere to run to):
1. Looking at the black behind your eyelids
2. Noticing your awareness itself
Keep flipping between the two like youโre flickering the lights on and off in a room, but donโt force this. Youโll look at the fact that you simply are, and you'll look at the black,, and youโll think: โdamn?? Iโm just my awareness.โ
โข Then youโll start to sink. Youโll feel the pull as hypnagogia grabs your hand and says โso where are we going, bestie?โ From here, you can either:
A) Keep going as you feel yourself sink, and youโll fall straight into the void state effortlessly.
B) As you feel yourself sink, you can choose to lucid dream, astral project, or just plain shift from here. To shift: affirm, assume, observe, do whatever you want. The way I shared that I like to do this is by observing my awareness in my DR, observing the fact that Iโm aware there (just pretend youโre there, no need to try too hard).
The point is: whatever happens next, if it happens very very quickly, donโt panic.
Just to note:
If this somehow doesnโt work for youโthough I genuinely believe it will work for someoneโjust know the reason I share so many things is because I deeply believe everyone needs different things. The core of shifting stays the same to me:
You are only awareness, and you observe your desired reality until all other options collapse.
But how you get into that is wildly personal. What works for me might not click for you, just like what works for you might not click for me, and thatโs fine.
Thatโs why I keep offering optionsโnot to confuse you, not to invalidate anything Iโve said before, but to give you more pathways of realizing how powerful you already are. If one method feels off, try another. My main method is still my go-to: observe my awareness in my DR, exist there, decide Iโm there because where else would I be??โbut I love giving variety because maybe this next one might be the one that opens it all up for you.
Edit: (this just came to mind) donโt place a time expectation on any method. This one worked in less than 5 minutes for me, but the next time I try it, it could happen in 10, maybe 20. I donโt know. So if you try this, and it doesnโt immediately work in the way you expect it to, take a deep breath and keep trying, because eventually something has to happen. Trust me.
๐ฝhings ๐ฒ wish i knew before ๐ฒ ๐ผhifted (as a girl who shifts on command)
as a girl whoโs shifted so many times she learned how to do it on command, i can say with confidence that thereโs many things i wish i was told beforehand that neither shifttok or shiftblr talk about (warning, itโs a lot).
CUTE DISCLAIMER : these are things I wish I was told . If you do not agree, THATS FINE . this is just what i wish i was exposed too before my first shift that i think will help others like me . When i use โyouโ โyouโreโ pronouns, im talking to my pre-shift self in second person. i just feel like this can support others .
001. i would never look at life the same again .
imagine how it feels bringing your subconscious to another place for the first time and realizing you are infinite . everything everyone said was true . it was never just an ongoing tiktok joke, it was real . shit was hard to come to terms with . very hard .
of course, shifting for the first time was awesome, but coming back wasโฆ interesting . i looked at everything differently . i feel like shifters talk about what shifting for the first time was like and forget to include the โcoming back confusionโ
002. after getting used to it, the โsparkโ kinda goes away .
now i know what the rest of shiftblr is gonna say . โshifting is real!!! donโt romanticize it!!!!โ and i completely agree, for this reason . before i shifted for the first time, ngl, i did lowk think in the back of my mind it was gonna be sunshine and rainbows . obviously, i was wrong .
itโs just like any other life on any other day on any other planet . unless youโre shifting to mars or some shit .
Itโll get boring . itโll get sad . Itโll get irritating . and trust, shit will get real . but thatโs just how life is . after i realized thats how life is, i kinda got like . huh .
itโs kinda like how it felt when you realized Santa wasnโt real . if that makes sense .
003. the real world is harsh .
as a girl who was never an actress, singer, dancer, model, guitarist, and songwriter in this reality, imagine my surprise when i saw that people would hate my acting/singing there ??? i scripted i was literally awesome ???? my discography is heavenly????? what ???? they arenโt even nice about it either .
be nice to celebrities!!!!!
004. youโre gonna start wanting to shift to a lot more โnicheโ drs after that .
soooo, you know how youโre shifting to be a student in hogwarts rn? well, youโre still gonna do that, but you might wanna be a lawyer in another dr now too . or maybe an alien from Saturn . or maybe a scientist who knows the secrets of the universe . or something .
after realizing you can explore every single reality out there, you start to want to experience new things in a more uncommon way . a way that other people probably wonโt also be shifting there .
i mean . . . unless you have niche drs already . then like, fuck it, we ball .
005. you will have so many different relationships and dynamics and vibes with people you wonโt know what to do .
after shifting, literally everything will remind you of either your cr, or your dr . youโll remember an inside joke from your dr friend from a few years ago, and then in the same day cry about something your cr friend said while youโre in your dr .
itโs slightly almost kinda sorta maybe a little overwhelming at first, but you begin to get the hang of it as your dr is already something youโve always known .
itโs fun, too . sometimes Iโll be out and see cute keychains and Iโll be like,โoh, (dr best friend) wouldโve loved that.โ you get a little homesick no matter where you are, but itโs almost comfortable, it that makes sense . because you know youโre gonna see them again, you already are .

Hi! As I promised, hereโs my method post (the one that also made my friend shift to her DR on her very first try, proud mom mode on). Actually, I was planning to wait until I made it perfect, but it doesnโt seem like thatโs gonna happen anytime soon.. (Also even though it did not satisfy me aesthetically, I am sharing it today because the important thing is the content) so if I ever notice something I forgot to add or decide to change later, Iโll just edit the post.
Itโs gonna be a long one, so Iโll try to divide it into sections (red ones), you can skip directly to the part youโre interested in! (But please donโt forget to read the โsymptomsโ section first; itโs important so you donโt freak out.) Still, Iโd love for you to hear the whole story before the actual method.
First things first, you need to know that you donโt need any method to shift. Setting an intention is truly enough. This one isnโt exactly a method either, itโs more like something that helps you set your intention more easily (whatever this means) or helps you catch that exact moment between being awake and falling asleep. (Thereโs no โrightโ moment, I just say that to describe it better.) Itโs kinda like wbtb, but not completely.
About this method / backstory: So, where did this method come from, and why is it called โNothingโ? Well, I actually discovered it by accident. I just realized it worked for me. As someone who used to fall asleep all the time and had wrong information about shifting back then, I was almost ready to give up, until I noticed I was getting symptoms again for the first time in ages. I think thatโs when it all started. At that time, I used to fall asleep listening to Alunirโs meditations, and I began experiencing the symptoms Iโll mention soon.
That was back in 2024. After a long break from shifting (you know, Iโm that person who tries to shift on and off, then takes long breaks), when I got back into my shifting era, I managed to make this method more effective for myself, and realized it actually helps me experience everything.
Again, you donโt even need a method, finding what works best for you is what matters most. But maybe this could work for someone out there too (hopefully).
As for the name โNothingโ, itโs not because you literally do nothing, but because when I once asked myself, โWhat should I do to shift?โ, the answer I got was simply โNothing.โ So I said, โFine then, Iโll do nothing.โ And thatโs how the โNothingโ method was born.
My Journey / Successes: What Iโm about to write now, everything from 2024, are things I had noted down back then. Iโll share them exactly as they were. So even if I had already shifted before (and honestly, some of these notes make it look like I did), my first intentional and proper shift (without grounding myself) was in 2025, after I opened my Tumblr account and started journaling here!
October 13, 2024: I dreamt about shifting and started getting symptoms (Iโll talk about these in the next section).
October 31, 2024: I got symptoms again, and the meditation sound in the background suddenly turned into a demonic voice (Iโll also explain why thatโs not actually scary in the next part).
November 5, 2024: Experienced the same symptoms again.
November 22, 2024: I shifted inside a dream (it was definitely a dream, but I donโt remember it clearly).
December 8, 2024: I remember my ears ringing with pressure.
December 23, 2024: I had a dream where I thought, โIs this what shifting feels like?โ Everything was so vivid and clear. (I even wrote in my notes that I could sense everything with all five senses. So if thatโs true, and I remembered it in detail, it was probably a shift, though I canโt be 100% sure because itโs been such a long time.)
April 8, 2025: At night, I remember my mom opening my door and asking, โDid you fall asleep yet?โ The next morning during breakfast, I asked her if she had really done that, and she said no, she only peeked in quietly but didnโt even cover me up because she didnโt want to wake me. But I know she asked me that. I saw and heard it clearly, and at that exact moment, I was already feeling the symptoms and even thought, โMom donโt distract me, Iโm trying to shift.โ So.. it was probably my first real shift. Because it wasnโt a dream, and I only realized later that it might have been a shift.
From this point on, the rest of my experiences are from when I consciously started trying this method and I also shared them on Tumblr, so Iโll leave the links too.
October 7, 2025: my first astral experience and shift.
October 8, 2025: my first lucid dream experience.
October 25, 2025: my dream to shift to lucid dream experience.
October 26, 2025: my friendโs first shift.
I also experienced the void state a few times (not sure when though, I donโt know why I didnโt note it down, or maybe I did and just forgot where I put it).
PS: If I had known back then that I shouldnโt be scared of the symptoms and shouldnโt focus on them, Iโd probably have shifted intentionally a million times by now, maybe even permashifted. Thatโs why Iโm telling you now: donโt focus on symptoms, donโt freak out. Youโre safe, and you always will be. Thereโs nothing to be scared of. Iโm saying this because I once wished someone had told me these things.
Possible symptoms and my friendโs shared experiences: The reason I couldnโt shift back in 2024 was because I kept focusing on the symptoms (yes, I experienced all of them). So again: Do NOT focus on symptoms. Do NOT freak out. Easier said than done, I know, but remember, none of these things are actually happening to your physical body.
Possible symptoms include:
Ear ringing or pressure in your ears
Heart beating like crazy
Feeling pressure even in your gums or head
Feeling like your body (or a part of it) is floating, my arm did once, but it wasnโt physical
Hearing demonic voices or changes in the subliminal/melody youโre listening to
Feeling like you canโt breathe
Spiraling (this oneโs kinda weird but itโs like.. leaving your body in a spiral motion, though technically, youโre not โleavingโ it)
Melting
Not feeling your body at all
All of these are normal. You might not feel any of them, or you might feel totally different ones, and thatโs okay too. But if you do feel them, please donโt panic and donโt focus on them. Just say things like: โIโm safe.โ, โIโm able to shift / oobe / astral project.โ
Personally, repeating โIโm safeโ throughout the whole process helps me a lot. Itโs what made me have my first oobe and shift. When I felt the symptoms, I didnโt panic, I just told myself โIโm safe, I can do thisโ and let it happen.
Before doing this method (Recommendations but not necessary to do it): This part has nothing to do with the method itself, but increasing your awareness for a few days or even a week before shifting (or as long as you want) might help. Throughout the day, you can say affirmations like: โIโm pure consciousness.โ โIโm pure awareness.โ โIโm more than this reality.โ โIโm more than this body.โ โIโm in control.โ โI can shift anytime I want.โ
You can also fall asleep while watching the โDream Machineโ visual (Iโll leave the link here, you donโt have to do anything, just play the video, close your eyes, and keep watching the lights behind your eyelids).
Becoming aware of what youโre doing throughout the day can also help raise your awareness. Notice that youโre brushing your teeth when youโre brushing your teeth. Notice that youโre breathing when youโre breathing. Notice that youโre blinking when you blink. Do things consciously, not automatically.
You can also repeat affirmations like: โWith every conscious or unconscious blink, Iโm shifting to my chosen reality.โ โWith every conscious or unconscious breath, Iโm becoming a master shifter.โ (Which is true, because you already are a master shifter!) Of course, you can change the affirmations to whatever makes you feel more comfortable. The most important thing is to do what feels right for you!
These exercises will help you realize that you are pure consciousness and that you are the one in control. But again, you donโt have to follow every single step. The point is to adapt this method to what feels comfortable and natural for you. Doing these steps or not doing them is completely up to you! They might help, or they might not, what truly matters is how they make you feel. Youโre free to skip them if you donโt want to!
Method: Okay, about the method. Before you sleep (I recommend doing it before your night sleep, but itโs not necessary, whatever makes you feel comfortable is all that matters!), set your intention like: โIโm choosing to shift tonight, and Iโm sure about it.โ It doesnโt have to be perfect. Donโt overthink whether itโll work or not, just say it and let it go!
And the position doesnโt matter at all! You can literally sleep standing on your head if you want to. ย Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. But if you want to avoid focusing too much on your body, you can try lying on your back. (Personally, I just pick whatever position feels most comfortable at the moment.)
Then, before sleeping, weโre gonna play our list! (Which list, Aria?)
First of all, I want you to prepare a playlist on Youtube (or anywhere you prefer). It doesnโt have to be super long actually, your shift will probably take around 3 hours max (honestly, not even that long, trust me), but something around 8โ10 hours might be better.
So, what should this playlist include? Whatever you want! You can add songs, movies, or even random videos like โeverything you need to know about dinosaurs.โ This part is completely personal, the key is that it should keep you slightly aware.
But honestly, I prefer subliminals. Youโre going to sleep with subliminals playing, and weโll also add some silent videos in between. The silence should last just long enough to let you drift into sleep, but not long enough to make you fully fall asleep, it keeps you right in that sweet spot between sleep and wakefulness.
But before that, donโt fall asleep right away! You need to fall asleep without realizing it.
Now, there are two versions of this method: with headphones or without headphones.
You can start reading whichever version you want to try, theyโre almost the same except for a few small details.
Without Headphones Version: What I want you to do here is open your playlist and let it play softly in the background. Yes, without headphones. (For this, I really recommend Alunir! You can play one of Alunirโs audios since they also include affirmations, but honestly, it doesnโt matter what you choose! Just make sure thereโs a bit of silence in between the sounds, enough to let you fall asleep but not too long. If youโre using Alunirโs meditations, you donโt need to add extra silent parts.)
Once youโre lying down and the subliminals are playing in the background, relax your body completely. Donโt focus on the subliminal itself. The important thing here is not to fall asleep right away (youโll do that later, but not yet). Just watch the darkness behind your eyelids, literally watch that darkness. And while you do that, you can think or affirm things like: โIโm shifting.โ โIโm already in my desired reality.โ โIโm pure consciousness.โ
You can also say things like: โIโm freeing myself from ego, fear, and doubt.โ โI accept and release them, and I allow myself to shift.โ
Or anything else that feels comfortable for you. You can change the affirmations depending on your goal, whether itโs lucid dreaming, astral projection, the void, or shifting. But please make sure to say: โIโm pure consciousness.โ and โIโm pure awareness.โ
For shifting specifically: if possible, try to imagine where youโll wake up, sense the room, the atmosphere, how it feels, whatโs around you. Think about what youโll do when you wake up, whatโs your plan for tomorrow, etc.
If youโre not good at visualization, thatโs totally fine. Just try to stay awake for a bit, because the goal here is for your body to fall asleep while your awareness stays awake. You can remind yourself: โIโm pure consciousness.โ
When you feel your current bedsheet, ask your mind: โHow do you even know this is real?โ
Play little tricks on your brain, because your brain doesnโt actually know whatโs real. If you say โIโm there right now,โ itโll believe you. Say โIโm more than this body.โ If you hear sounds or voices from your current reality, say: โItโs from my desired reality.โ Or โHow do I even know itโs real?โ
Trick your mind!
You can also count to 100 if you want, and if you start mixing up the numbers, thatโs fine! Just keep counting from a random number. Youโll probably notice yourself mixing up words or numbers while saying affirmations. When that happens, donโt overthink it, donโt try to remember where you left off, just continue from any random number or word.
You can move a little too, like turning to your side, thatโs totally okay. Just donโt make yourself fully awake again.
At some point, your body will naturally fall asleep no matter how much you resist it. But please, donโt say โugh, I canโt sleepโ and turn off the subliminals, just let things be. Even if you get frustrated or feel like you canโt fall asleep, keep the subliminals on. (As I said, it doesnโt even have to be a subliminal, around one hour of audio is usually enough for your body to drift off.)
Because even when you think youโre not asleep, you actually are, your body will fall asleep, and your consciousness will remain aware.
At one point, youโll have that dozed-off moment. If the subliminals wake you up, every time that happens (and make sure you set this intention before sleeping), remind yourself:
โIโm shifting right now.โ or โI choose to shift.โ
Donโt open your eyes, donโt stop the music, just go back to sleep.
At some point, your body will fall asleep completely, thatโs basically the whole method. Whether you have a lucid dream, astral project, enter the void, or wake up directly in your DR, I donโt know, so just go with whatever feels right for you.
And if you get any symptoms I mentioned earlier, please donโt panic! Just tell yourself: โIโm safe. Shifting is safe for me, and I allow it.โ
Donโt focus on the symptoms! Feeling like youโre flying, floating, or swaying is totally normal, thereโs no earthquake.ย Just fall asleep again.
You can also set the intention to wake up directly there.
With Headphones Version: What I want you to do here is put on your headphones and start your playlist. (Make sure your headphones are comfortable and wonโt bother you while lying down!) I recommend using 40โ60 minute subliminals for this, but again, it really doesnโt matter what you choose! Just make sure thereโs a bit of silence in between, long enough to help you fall asleep.
Once youโre lying down and the subliminals are playing, completely relax your body. Do not focus on subliminals! The important thing here is not to fall asleep right away (you will later, but not yet).
Just watch the darkness behind your eyelids, literally watch that darkness. While doing that, you can think or affirm things like: โIโm shifting.โ โIโm already in my desired reality.โ โIโm pure consciousness.โ Say things like: โIโm freeing myself from ego, fear, and doubt.โ โI accept and release them, and I allow myself to shift.โ
Or anything else that feels comfortable for you. You can change the affirmations depending on your goal, lucid dream, astral projection, void, etc. But please make sure to say: โIโm pure consciousness.โ and ย โIโm pure awareness.โ
For shifting: if possible, try to imagine where youโll wake up, sense the room, how it feels, whatโs around you, and what youโre going to do when you wake up. If youโre not great at visualization, thatโs totally fine, just try to stay aware for a while. The goal is for your body to fall asleep while you remain conscious.
I want you to feel like you have an important exam tomorrow, and itโs already 3 a.m., and you only have a short time left to sleep, that exact kind of feeling. Like when youโre half asleep but still alert enough to hear your alarm. That light, sensitive sleep where youโre aware of everything, thatโs exactly what I want.
You can remind yourself: โIโm pure consciousness.โ When you feel your bedsheet, ask your brain: โHow do you even know this is real?โ Play little tricks on your mind, your brain doesnโt actually know whatโs real. If you say โIโm there right now,โ itโll believe you. Say: โIโm more than this body.โ If you hear voices or sounds from your current reality, say: โItโs from my desired reality.โ or โHow do you even know this is real?โ
Trick your mind!
You can count to 100 if you want, and if you start mixing up the numbers, thatโs totally fine. Just keep counting from any random number. Youโll probably notice that while saying affirmations, you start mixing up words or numbers, thatโs completely okay. Donโt think about where you left off or what comes next, just continue from anywhere.
You can move a little, like turning to your side, thatโs totally fine too. Just donโt make yourself fully awake again.
At some point, your body will naturally fall asleep, no matter how much you try to resist it. But please, donโt say โugh, I canโt sleepโ and turn off the subliminals, just let it be. Even if you get frustrated or feel like you canโt fall asleep, keep them playing. (As I said, it doesnโt even have to be a subliminal, around 1 hour of sound is usually enough to make your body fall asleep.)
Because even when you think youโre not asleep, you actually are, your body will fall asleep while your consciousness stays awake.
At one point, youโll have that dozed-off moment. If the subliminals wake you up, and make sure you set this intention before sleeping, remind yourself: โIโm shifting right now.โ or โI choose to shift.โ
Donโt open your eyes, donโt stop the music, just go back to sleep.
Eventually, your body will fall asleep completely, thatโs basically the method. Whether you end up lucid dreaming, astral projecting, entering the void, or waking up directly in your dr, I donโt know, so go with whatever feels right to you.
If you get any of the symptoms I mentioned earlier, please donโt panic! Just tell yourself: โIโm safe. Shifting is safe for me, and I allow it.โ
Donโt focus on the symptoms! Feeling like youโre flying, floating, or swaying is totally normal, thereโs no earthquake. Just fall back asleep.
You can also set the intention to wake up directly there.
Oh, and when the silent subliminal or video starts playing, donโt say โwait, did my playlist stop playing?โ and check it. (Yes, thatโs from personal experience)
Also, if you shift to a version of your drself whoโs already awake and standing, itโs actually easier to tell that youโve shifted, youโll clearly notice the difference between a dream, lucid dream, astral projection, and a full shift. So donโt worry about that!
This method can also work even if you donโt do it exactly this way. If youโre super tired, just sleep without thinking anything. (Seriously, if youโre about to fall asleep in a second, do NOT think about anything, just sleep.)
It also works when you wake up during the night! For example, I usually go to bed around 8โ9 pm, and when I naturally wake up around 3โ4 am,and go back to sleep while thinking โIโm shiftingโ with my playlist still on, it works perfectly.
What should I do if I lucid dream: If it turns into a lucid dream, people usually say to make a portal, but for me, just thinking about my dr was enough. Just tell yourself youโre shifting, and youโll be there. The melting or spiraling feeling is totally normal, do not panic! (Also, to get out of the lucid state, you can shift to a random place first and then move from there to your dr, that was easier for me.)
What should I do if I astral/oobe: If it turns into astral projection, donโt panic, especially if you feel ear ringing, pressure, or your heart beating fast. Those are all normal. Keep telling yourself youโre safe! Spiraling sensations are also normal. If your goal is to shift to your dr, just think about it, youโll get there. And believe me, youโll have plenty of time to think, so stay calm. DO NOT PANIC. Youโre not actually feeling those symptoms in your physical body. And even if it is astral, if you say โI want to shift to my drโ you will.
What should I do if I get into the void: If you see light or lights, focus on one of them and follow it, itโll keep growing, and youโll find yourself in the void. From there on, do whatever you want! Iโve never shifted from the void, but probably just thinking about your dr will be enough. (And donโt forget to remind yourself that youโre safe and calm!)
I successfully shifted but my vision is blurry: If your vision is blurry (like youโre looking through frosted glass) when you shift or if you canโt feel all five senses, donโt freak out, stay calm and donโt think about going back. Focus on your breathing, touch something hot or cold, or gently pinch yourself (not hard enough to hurt) thatโll help you ground yourself there. (I still havenโt shifted to my dr, I did shift once, but I freaked out, didnโt ground myself, and ended up in a random reality before realizing I was in my dr. Thatโs why I donโt ground myself to random realities, but people say it helps, so if you shift, and you probably will, you can try it!)
If you ever feel panic like โitโs too real, how do I come back?โ, donโt say you want to return. Just remind yourself: โIโm safe, I can return whenever I want.โ Also, be open to random shifts if you want! Just to prove to yourself that itโs real (itโs honestly funny, you should give it a try).
Ps 1: If I forget to mention something, Iโll edit this post later, no point in making you wait longer! And if you have any questions, please use the ask box since I sometimes miss the comments.
Ps 2: I worked really hard on this post, so I really hope youโll shift, otherwise, Iโll haunt you and make you shift. (I want everyone to experience shifting! Even if we have the same s/o, everyone deserves to feel it! And technically, we are shifting at any moment unintentionally, so shift intentionallt this time!) Especially try it on 11.11, please! And if it doesnโt work on your first try (which it probably will), please give this method a few more chances. Try again after some time, because methods donโt make you shift, they just help.
This one, though, isnโt really a method, itโs more like a tool that helps you catch that thin line between sleep and wakefulness more easily.
Try it in different states: when youโre super tired, fully awake, or somewhere in between, adjust it to what feels best for you!
Thank you so much for reading and waiting for this post! And I truly appreciate you for trusting me.
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ ๐ youโre trying to feel your dr with your cr senses
โ a lengthy shifting guide
why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? youโve spent the first large chunk of your life believing this reality to be the full extent and foundation of existence. even if you now logically understand this not to be the case, the years spent curating and deepening a mental, emotional, and physical anchor to this reality has warped your perception of reality and instilled in to you the subconscious idea that your cr is the default. and in treating it as the default, the end all be all, and in compromising with it, you reinforce the idea that you are attached or stuck hereโthat it is even a place to get stuck in in the first place. not only do you trap yourself in this reality and grant it power over you that it does not actually have, you start viewing your cr as the โstarting pointโ too, and shifting as some form of transportation from point A to point B. accompanying this belief is an imagined distance created between your current reality and desired reality. you mightโve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.
itโs important to make and internalise the distinction between a shift in realities as an act of metaphysical travel, and a shift in realities as a shift in focus. imo the former is a much better descriptor for what shifting actually is in essence. i will go into more depth later, but a byproduct of being raised the way you were, growing up knowing nothing but your cr and rooting & centring yourself wholly (confined) within it, is the over identification you end up developing with your cr self. you are not living reality, you are watching it. but after years of the constant unbroken immersion, the two become almost impossible to distinguish. you define yourself by and take on as if they were your own the thoughts and identity and feelings of the โvesselโ you are observing, and let them dictate how you experience reality. the lines begin to blur between you; your cr self, and you; your awareness/the observer.
feel your hand. donโt touch it, but notice itโs weight and temperature, or the air around it. now feel the feeler. can you feel yourself? or your body, maybe? now go a step further and feel the one feeling. you probably arenโt fully able to, but this is the observer. โthe observerโ, or the state of being after breaking the immersion, is you in your natural or purest state. it has also been described as pure awareness, the void state, ego death, sakshi, the self, anatta, and interpreted in different ways across a multitude of different religions and branches of spirituality & philosophy, all used as a means to an end for different things. fyiโiโm not saying you have to completely forsake your cr identity or start ignoring/dismissing your senses or thoughts to shift, just understand that those things donโt define you or your reality. the means to the end here is just getting a point across and hopefully helping improve with the approach you take to shifting. all of this to say, youโre not travelling from point A to point B. point A and B are not places you can (technically) even travel to or exist in, because youโre just watching/observing/being aware of. shifting is not the transportation of a self from one location to another. shifting is simply changing what is focused on/experienced; from one stream of experience to another. a shift in focus.
to summarise, you as in your ego, the you in this cr as you know it, your body, your brain, your thoughts, your identity, donโt actually go or shift anywhere. you, your awareness, in favour of perceiving you, your cr self, the one sat at your computer or phone or whatever reading this right now, starts perceiving a different you/ego/selfโone that could have the exact same personality, memories, and thoughts, just in another realty, or one that is a different person entirely. there is only a change or โshiftโ for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. youโre not going to. youโre so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this realityโs bodiesโ senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that itโs never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels arenโt going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because thatโs what bodies do. so donโt lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like youโve failed when they donโt. shifting is not about somehow willing your surroundings to change or lying in your room forcefully convincing yourself that your senses are feeling something else, itโs about acknowledging whatโs beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.
if you can still feel your cr, itโs not you feeling it, itโs your cr self. and you are not your cr self.
you can apply this to your thoughts too. your thoughts are no less your cr selfโs than your senses are. if you start getting doubts mid attempt or canโt let go of the thought or feeling that youโre not in your dr, remind yourself that you are not your feelings or thoughts or doubts. you are simply observing them. of course your cr self will think that theyโre still in their cr, they are. just ignore them and shift your attention elsewhere. your focus and awareness are what dictate what you experience, if you relinquish your focus from your cr and direct it to your dr instead, thatโs where youโll โbeโ.
obviously thereโs no one set way to shift, so if you want you can stop reading here and apply this information to your shifting journey in whatever way suits you. if youโre interested in my method though, hereโs the compilation of all this info into practical steps you can actually take to shift.
get comfortable somewhere you wonโt be disturbed. close your eyes and focus on what you can see. the light behind your eyelids, shapes, colours, whatever. but instead of automatically interpreting these sensations as belonging to your cr, allow them to become sensory input from your dr. light? thatโs coming from the lamp by the xyz in your dr bedroom. or maybe your in a field if thatโs a fitting setting for your dr, and itโs the sun shining down on you. shapes? thatโs because youโve been lying down with your eyes closed for a while now, youโre tired after your classes or job or whatever you do in your dr. even if itโs nothing at all, let it be your drs nothing. just feel it. do this for about a minute.
then move onto your body. whether itโs sinking, lightness, tingling, focus on it. and do the exact same as you did for the previous step, interpret it as input coming from your dr. donโt worry if you can still feel your body lying in your bed, because your surroundings arenโt going to changeโat least not physically. again, those sensations belong to your cr self, and they donโt prevent awareness from directing itself elsewhere. the goal here is to shift your focus away from them and onto something else, so hyperfocusing on your cr and worrying about your surroundings is counterintuitive. just gently guide your attention back to your dr, really try feel your dr surroundings and what your dr body is currently feeling. if you canโt fully avert your focus away from your cr, thatโs fine, at the very least just try receive/tap into the input coming from your dr alongside your cr.
finally focus on what you can hear. if youโve already managed to make a connection with your dr through your sight and physical senses just build up on what youโve already got. feel grass tickling your skin? deepen the connection there by focusing on the sound now too, the wind blowing through it. see light behind your eyes? focus on the hum of the lights.
repeat these exercises over and over, deepening the connection with each cycle. if you donโt manage to get anything the first cycle just keep going until you do. it might take some practice. like i mentioned before, after spending so much time here and being in constant attunement with your cr self, the sense that your cr is the default starts to take root and it can be difficult to shake the feeling that youโre just indefinitely โhereโ. itโs normal for it to take some time to learn how to question this feeling and push past it. since you've never (technically?) been aware of anything outside of this reality, learning how to do so can be a bit like learning how to use a muscle you've never used before.
this method operates on the idea that reality is something that is tuned into through focus & narrowed awareness and not something metaphysically travelled across, so for the most success with it, iโd recommend starting to make a conscious effort to see your dr less like a place and more like a wavelength or channel, a perspective already existing beyond your current focus. shifting to your dr then becomes an effort to notice and receive input from this channel/wavelength, input that already exists out there and that simply needs to be acknowledged. youโre just picking up on whatโs already there, feeling something that a version of you already feels.
persist in the belief that reality is observed and flexible. youโre not "stuck" anywhere unless you believe you are.
1. Get comfy and close your eyes. Relax, the same way you would before you sleep. Maybe even put on some ambiance that reminds you of that reality, just for full immersion.
2. Begin to feel the placement of everything around you in your DR bedroom using proprioception. Not visualising, just feeling and knowing that, "yes my bed is here and my closet is there, I am laying next to the open window, I can feel the breeze on my face..."
3. Accept that you are here right now, in your DR. Relaxing and taking a nap. Maybe you're laying beside your s/o, maybe you feel the bed move as they change their sleeping position. Just enjoy the relaxation and the feeling of peace that comes with it. Do you have a chore to complete later in your DR? You'll do it after this nap... you feel oh so comfortable. It would be a shame to get up... Now you're thinking like your DR self, role playing a nap. Which is good! Its what we are going for.
4. From here you have two options:
a) Actually fall asleep, and it doesn't matter where you wake up. What matters is that you were in your DR while you were sleeping even if you open your eyes to your CR, you know what you experienced.
Or
b) Open your eyes when you feel ready and no matter what reality you are seeing now, accept the fact that just now you were in your DR and you were taking a nap there.
On the days when shifting felt too overwhelming and methods were just more unwanted baggage, I would use music.
I would put on a floaty song, think Stray.wav, Let it happen, sdp Interlude, etc (all slowed and reverbed lol). Then I would close my eyes and pretend that the music was guiding me into my DR.
Either that or thinking that the music was levelling me up somehow and making shifting easier for me. I know it sounds silly but it genuinely worked. I would sit there thinking, "its working. I can feel myself shifting ๐คฉ" Just using the music as kind of a power up.
It was fun too. I would get super into it and not even realise that I had shifted already. The only problem was that I would get startled and panic and then purposely shift back. Still working on that though.
