Reminder: You Are Not Lesser If You've Been Struggling With Manifestation Or Shifting. You Don't Deserve

‧ new year's shifting pick a pile ✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚

{ i've been meaning to do another collective reading but honestly forgot, but hey it's a new year so... this will just be anything you may need to hear right now. i hope you find what you were looking for, and if i was able to help in any way then i'm glad. and just like any other reading you find, take what resonates and leave what doesn't }

❆ take a deep breath... and choose the pile you're most drawn to...

✿ PILE ONE ⋰˚☆

KEYWORDS/SIGNS: rain, orange slices, pie, hot tea, 777, gloomy weather, allergies, ears ringing, dogs barking/whining, 222, trust, hourglass, boredom, keys, heart ache, homesick, road trips, four leaf clover, golden child, shaking hands

❆ a decision, a choice. is this right? am i making the wrong choice? let’s take a deep breath ok? it seems you are at a crossroads of sorts. perhaps you don’t know what to do with yourself when it comes to your shifting journey. that’s ok! whatever this issue is for you specifically, i believe you already have they answer. let’s slow the roll, take some deep breaths and try to see this clearly. to me it seems you are over consuming information. i suggest you log off of social media for a bit, sit with yourself and look over the information you already have, discard what no longer fits you and keep what works. you know you best! some random person online cannot (unfortunately) fix your supposed problems for you. no matter how much advice you seek, you can only do that. you need to let go of this internal struggle, you are only fighting yourself, creating resistance. if the answers still seem to be foggy to you, perhaps you can meditate and look for the answers there.

❆ it seems your mind might be in the midst of chaos, or perhaps your life is as well. yet when it comes to your shifting journey you may just be on the brink of a spiritual awakening you desire (or need). the clarity is within YOU. it looks like you are walking down this path with a blindfold on, unsure of where you are going, what choices to make. maybe there is something you don’t want to face. but these fears and worries do not need to hold you back. let’s try to use them to your advantage. face what is holding you back and if you just can’t rid it, know that it does not stop you, only shows a different part of yourself.

❆ instead of putting your journey and motivations on others, it’s time to look within. there’s only so much more “new” information you can gain. your journey is yours and yours alone. that doesn’t mean it has to be a lonely one though. trust that you have the answers, and trust that there is still a community for you! having so many different pieces of information and advice forced upon you to try and digest and make use of is not helping you. sit with yourself and ask yourself if there is genuinely anything you still need to learn from others at this point? at what point do you let it all go and just use it to your benefit?

❆ maybe creating some sort of routine will help you as well, setting up some self-discipline. on the flip side you may need to let go of perfectionism as well. you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. shifting is supposed to be fun. maybe reflect on what you can do to make this all the more enjoyable. let go of the process and remember where you started.

❆ it has been a long journey for you, a hard one at that. you may have found yourself in many setbacks. perhaps you blame yourself, there’s a lot of sadness and anger here. in this moment you can choose forgiveness, forgive yourself and know that it’s all ok. whatever has happened, there’s no use for guilt. open up to a friend, a stranger, someone. vocalize your feelings and hardships. with mistakes you can learn and grow from them, and ultimately come out stronger in the end. show yourself grace and love, and set your eyes on newer and better things. know that no matter what you can still trust yourself. take small steps and build yourself back up. find the romance and beauty in shifting again, it’ll always be there.

❆ i see that you may be someone shifting for love. keep your partner in mind. despite everything, please remember you are deserving of love and happiness. keep your love close to you. just as you wish to be with them, use it to bring you two together. your emotions are not a flaw, feel them, sit with them, BE them. wherever you are and where you want to be, what are you feeling? are you in your bed? perhaps the arms of your lover. whoever you want to be, FEEL IT, let your compassion drive you forward. there’s no need to be embarrassed over your feelings, they are valid, and so are you.

❆ you need to make the decision. you can’t sit in despair forever, pick yourself up and know that there are better things for you. use it all to your advantage, all the bad just as the good. being interrupted during a meditation? that’s fine, it doesn’t have to stop you forever. Distracted? that’s ok, take a deep breath and know that it doesn’t have to hold you back, unless you let it. you don't have to have the most squeaky clean mindset ever to shift, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense does it? accept where you are at, and accept where you want to go.

Senses shift last

If you've been in any shifting community for any period of time, you must have already heard this sentence.

Senses shift last.

It's an explanation, an unspoken rule, an understanding that when you sit down to shift, the last thing that completes the shift is your senses.

But what if I told you that your senses don't shift at all?

Let's go back to the basic, most simple definition of reality shifting:

Becoming aware of another reality.

This simply means that when you choose to shift, your awareness, your consciousness, is the only thing that shifts. Not your body, not your brain, and most definitely not your senses.

So, how does it work?

Well, as you shift, and you become aware of a different reality, you become conscious of a different version of you with a different brain and a different stream of thoughts and a different body and—you guessed it, different senses altogether.

Maybe your vision is better or you have supernatural hearing. Maybe your sense of taste is enhanced and your buds are miraculous, maybe you feel things 100x more than this reality allows and you're hyper aware of everything around you. The point is, your current reality self's body remains here, and so its senses stay behind as well.

How does this help you shift?

If you know that your senses don't shift, and you know that no matter what you hear, see, feel... Is irrelevant because it's your awareness that shifts, doesn't that take off a shit ton of stress off your shoulders?

As soon as you turn your awareness to a different reality, as soon as you start thinking as your desired reality self, feeling their feelings, immersing yourself in their surrounding, you have shifted. "But I can still feel my bed and I'm supposed to be on a train or a plane or riding a dragon through the seven skies!" Irrelevant. Unimportant. Inconsequential.

Focus on what you see, hear, or feel in imagination. That's where you truly are. As long as you stay there and you don't question your destination, you're bound to shift.

Haven't you ever wondered how people shift awake? How they shift on planes or in cars or in the middle of a nosy park? Where you are doesn't matter. What you see or hear doesn't matter. You don't question your dr and complain about the noise of your family and friends when you shift for a few seconds and claim they ruined the shift for you by distracting you! Why should this reality be any different? So what if you feel a velvet duvet instead of satin sheets? So what if you can hear your siblings fighting instead of your s/o calling your name? So what if you can see flashing lights behind your closed eyelids instead of your ceiling or the sky or a unicorn's ass?

Your senses aren't shifting with you, and that doesn't mean that you have failed! Not at all! You shifted successfully the second you decided to park your ass on your bed and chair and shift.

Which brings me to my final point in this semi-long rant:

Grounding yourself when you wake up in your dr.

Let me ask you something: do you ground yourself when you wake up in your cr? Do you open your eyes and start hyperventilating because you're in your room? Do you start freaking out because your family or your partner walked in?

No. You don't. Because it's just another day in the same room you've been waking up in for years.

It's the same thing for your dr. Unless your dr self has amnesia the exact same second you shift, they have been waking up in the same bed, in the same room, with the same family/friends/roommates/partner for as long as they can remember. Shifting is a natural processes. You're not putting on a skin suit and pretending to be someone you're not. You are becoming aware of the person you have always been.

There will be no freaking out, no out of body experience, no looking in the mirror and squealing over your tight ass and new face. No blushing like a damsel when you see your s/o.

It's going to be natural. Like putting on your favorite pj's, like returning to a home that always made you feel safe and comfortable, like tasting your favorite snack again and getting flashbacks of your childhood memories.

It's going to be familiar, known, comfortable.

It's going to be you.

So stop freaking out over what could potentially happen when you "get there." You have always been there.

Now go shift, and stop stressing out so much about irrelevant details.

You are a shifter.

It's your destiny.

Happy Shifting ❤️

Shifting affirmations

"omg I can't believe I'm here!"

"this feels so real it's amazing."*

"i feel so connected to my intended reality"

"I've never felt so close to my Dr before"

"shifting is incredibly easy for me"

"if I say I'm shifting then I'm shifting"

"shifting is a skill that I have and cannot be taken away from me"

"i will always be able to shift no matter the circumstances"

"I'm allowing myself to shift Tonight"

"I am letting go completely"

"my intended reality is not out of reach"

letting go ≠ giving up

it’s important that when we tell you “let go” we don’t mean stop caring and give up. letting go means trusting yourself, believing - and more importantly - knowing that shifting is inevitable. you’ve decided to become aware of your dr so it’s done, you can relax and let go because you’ve already accomplished it. the moment you decide to shift - you shift so there’s no need for anything more.

letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care, it just means that you know that you already have what you want.

if you want a dog, do you keep saying you want a dog after you buy/adopt it? no, even though you may not physically have it yet, you know it’s yours so there’s no need of repeating that you want it because you have it. that’s what letting go means, it’s accepting the fact that you have already shifted, you are in your desired reality so you can just let go.

your desires are already yours, accept it and relax.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

no such thing as being “too excited to shift” because you know how many people view shifting as a chore? how many people wish they were still excited and energized to go to their dr?

view your excitement as a gift. joy is a wonderful thing and a great propellor.

SAY WITH ME LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK

REPEAT AFTER ME. IT. HAS. TO. CONFORM. IT HAS TO CONFORM, the 3D has no choice yall so focus on your thoughts and let the 3D show whats true

You are afraid of success

Because failure is much more validating. Failure will pat you on the back and say, "maybe next time, hun", it will feed you anticipation and that flutter of trepidation in your chest when you think of success, it will make you feel comfortable in that bog you settled in.

The illusion of productivity keeps you in that mindset and prevents you from facing this fear. It keeps you feeling busy so you don't feel bad about being stagnant. It tells you you're walking in strides while you actually stand still, avoiding the discomfort of fully committing to success. Just like buying a dozen of fancy pens and notebooks instead of writing a book, you busy yourself with useless tasks that keep you from actually applying.

You can shift and manifest with just an intention and without any effort, but some of you are afraid of accepting even that. Just another script for my another DR, just another playlist with dozens of subliminals (do you even listen to them more than twice before creating a new one?), just another small "check" before a big manifestation, just another hour of reading through Tumblr/Pinterest/Reddit/TikTok posts and success stories, just another pile of photographed and screenshotted angel numbers. Are you not tired?

Shifting and manifesting are mundane and trivial to the point of being innate to you. If you have an apple in your hand, do you daydream about it? Do you create playlists named "🐁 🎀 𝐼 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓃 𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓁𝑒 🎀 🐁"? Do you buy a special knife that you proudly call "my apple knife"? Do you create moodboards for this apple? No, if you want an apple and you have it, you bite it.

You already have and know everything there is to know, and nothing will happen unless you actually start applying. You may know that only intention works, but did you internalize this knowledge? A lot of you throw fancy manifesting lingo while still persisting in the state of lack. Remembering and knowing is not the same as applying. Don't let this mistake keep you on Shiftblr until 2030.

FROM A SHIFTER WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO SHIFT FOR 5 YEARS (ACTUALLY FOUND OUT IT’S BEEN 6 YEARS)

I have seen this community get bigger and i have seen one part of the community say one thing and the other part of the community say something completely different.

I have tried methods, i have applied the law of assumption, living in the wish fulfilled, i took care of my CR, i worked on my self-concept, i relied on tarot readings and not relied on tarot readings, i have tried finding the root to my problems and tried not forcing it.

One year each. Applied what was given to me.

And i can say, I'm irritated about the lack of compassion this community offers.

People forget that behind the screen they're just as human as the rest of us. A following on Tumblr is as unimportant as a following on Amino. I understand that people want to explain what works for them but a part of this community acts in a way that makes their opinion seem fact.

Someone saying that we have to find what holds us back and another telling us that forms unnecessary blockages. One Person says that maybe we don't want to shift, another person calls bullshit on that.

From someone who has been on this journey for six years, i can promise you, i want to shift because otherwise i would have already given up. I have never been committed to anything as much as i am committed to my shifting journey.

I take breaks, of course. But that's about it.

I don't enjoy just daydreaming and not all of us have the privilege to just give up. Years ago, i wanted out because i was suffering from abuse.

And here is my question:

WHY DOES THIS COMMUNITY THINK IN A WAY THAT DISREGARDS PEOPLE WITH BAD CIRCUMSTANCES?

The amount of times i have read the words victim mentality is insane. This community might be better than shiftok but it's as bad as the law of assumption twitter community.

　PICK ONE ✶ and let intuition be your guide.

THE TARNISHED COMPACT MIRROR, THE WAX SEAL AND THE MAP.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the tarnished compact mirror.

you pick it up, and the weight surprises you—it’s heavier than it looks, as though it’s been carrying the reflections of centuries. the silver is worn, tarnished in that way where it almost looks like smoke trapped under glass. When you open it, the mirror is cracked but still functional, splitting your face into fragments like you’re some living cubist painting.

SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this is the artefact of self-perception. if asking, “who am i in this moment?” and not trusting the answer. shifting is your MO (master opus, obviously), but this mirror is here to remind you: even when you’re mastering realities, you are the through-line. the cracks in the glass is the self you’ve shed in every DR, your multidimensional fingerprints. but be warned: this mirror doesn’t just show you—it shows the version of you others see, too. every smile, every shadow, every flicker of their perspective. it’s asking: are you as fluid as you think, or are you just trying on new faces to escape the old ones?

in your journey, this object suggests a phase of intense self-reflection. maybe you’re realising that even as you leap dimensions, there’s a “you” who stays constant. or maybe you’re questioning whether the roles you’ve played were ever really yours. either way, this mirror says: own the cracks—they’re your history, your kaleidoscope.

A SHATTERED MIRROR STILL SHOWS THE TRUTH—IT JUST LOOKS BETTER IN PIECES.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ ⊹ ˖ ࣪ 

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the wax-seal stamp with no engraving.

when you pick this up, your fingers find grooves where a symbol should be. it’s disarmingly smooth, as though it was made for a crest, a mark, a declaration—but someone forgot to finish it. there’s dried red wax crusted along the edges, as if it’s already sealed a hundred letters, but none of them bore your name.

SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this object is all about potential. it’s an artefact of the unsaid, the unclaimed, the could-have-beens. it’s asking: what are you waiting to mark as your own? shifting is the art of writing yourself into stories, but maybe you’ve been forgetting to sign your name at the end. this blank seal is your reminder that you are the creator of your journey—your identity isn’t a pre-set engraving; it’s something you carve anew every time you shift.

the wax is your legacy—the parts of you that already exist in every DR you’ve touched. even if you haven’t seen it, your presence is felt. maybe you’ve been second-guessing whether you’re leaving a mark or just slipping through realities like a shadow. the seal says: even without a design, you’re sealing the deal. your intentions are enough.

this object speaks to a moment where you’re on the verge of something big, but you’re hesitating. maybe you’re wondering if you’re ready, or maybe you’re holding out for a “perfect” moment. the truth is, the seal doesn’t need engraving—it’s what you choose to imprint that matters.

THE BLANK SPACE IS WHERE THE STORY BEGINS.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ ⊹ ˖ ࣪ 

　　·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING ┊ the paper map with worn folds.

it’s soft in your hands, the kind of paper that’s been unfolded and refolded a thousand times. there are stains on it—coffee rings, maybe tears. the ink is fading, but the routes are still clear: zig-zagging lines, X’s marking spots, little hand-drawn symbols that mean nothing to anyone but the original cartographer.

SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? this is the artefact of guidance and exploration. the map isn’t just a tool; it’s a record of journeys past. it’s been used, loved, and abandoned—but never destroyed. and it’s showing you one thing: you’re not lost—you’re exactly where you need to be.

the X’s are goals you’ve already hit, DRs you’ve already conquered. the stains are the messy parts of the journey—the nights you stayed awake scripting, the mornings you woke up and didn’t feel “there” yet. but the beauty of this map is that it’s a living document. the roads change as you change, and the hand-drawn symbols, those are little pieces of you left behind in every reality.

this object says your journey is not linear—it’s a spiral, looping back to places you thought you’d left behind. maybe you’re revisiting old DRs, or maybe you’re realising that every shift is connected, even if the roads look different. the map is urging you to trust the process—what looks like a dead end might just be a fold waiting to be smoothed out.

THE MAP REMEMBERS, EVEN IF YOU DON'T.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ּ   * ˖  ་

these objects aren’t just trinkets—they’re archetypes of your journey. you’re the cracked mirror, the blank seal, the folded map, all at once. keep them close. and remember: every artefact tells a story, but it’s up to you to write the ending.
