shifting tarot card of the day

⟢ ten of cups upright

⟢ ok so this card is all about fulfillment, completion, the end of cycles. for those who may come across this, this is the case for your shifting journey, well almost…

⟢ when i was shuffling cards, they kept going flying. i kept asking for just one card, quick and easy. i kept getting a bunch at a time. perhaps things are a mess right now for you. chaotic. but maybe you aren’t looking at the right thing ? maybe a slight change in perspective is what you need. you keep looking in the past. but what’s done is done. turn back around, you have it.

⟢ there’s pressure here, you are grasping onto shifting and your desires for dear life. but they are not going anywhere. this desperation isn’t necessary, not anymore. you already have your desires. no more reprogramming, mediations you hate doing, subliminals… you don’t need em. just you. just the knowing.

⟢ whatever you want is yours. you don’t need to ask yourself ‘ why isn’t it working? ’ it’s not working because you don’t think it is. but you’re already there.

⟢ it’s done, okay ? so bask in it, let it sink in.

why is there always drama in the shifting community,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

shifting rant.

(imagine chappell roan in femininomenon yelling this at you that’s how I feel)

shifting is not a fucking skill, stop parroting that around. shifting is innate—it is making a choice. full stop.

the only skill you need to develop is not doubting your ability to make a fucking choice!!!!!

ITS A CHOICE. CHOOSING IS INNATE. JUST CHOOSE TO SHIFT.

and when you make your choice—stick with it.

don’t start with the “oh but what if I didn’t do it right?” or the “maybe i’m not doing enough” BULLSHIT because you’re just rescinding your choice.

if you choose and persist in your choice you will shift.

xoxo! go shift bitch

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 ❤️

But what if… things work out, nothing bad happens, your hard work pays off, you get through this and prove yourself

  . ۫ ꣑ৎ   . hai haiii user fruitswrl ໒꒰ྀི˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶ ꒱ྀི১ !! i'm doing well ,, having fun doing these bahasjdhajsf ,, but i hope YOU are doing well too <33

i do hope you like your reading ,, it's been like five billion years since i've thought of tvd so this was interesting to do LMAOASOFJASJF

under the cut because i apparently have a yapping problem oh my god .·°՞(¯□¯)՞°·.

first of all woaaaaaaaaah an entire major arcana spread ૮꒰´°`⑅꒱ა ,,, that's letting me know immediately that your relationship is a very very passionate , fiery relationship

i made a little list with tropes and the cards i paired with them and shuffled & the world card came up first which was the “opposites attract” trope and it worked as confirmation , because even before i started your reading i was getting the vibe that you’re human in your dr and , well , he’s a vampire ANBABAHSDFBAJSF 

not only that but the cutesy pfp you have made me think of my fave ever ever trope dynamic where like one partner looks all sweet and like a living , breathing angel and the other is like . . . here's one of my favourite artworks to demonstrate the point i'm trying to make T T like person a is very angel-esque and person b looks like they crawled out from the underworld pairing LOLLLLASDFIAKDJF

i'm ngl when i saw the tower card i jumped ໒꒰ྀི ╥﹏╥ ꒱ྀིა momentarily considered putting it back and reshuffling , but decided against it bc it’s the card that popped up when i asked for clarity so i was like fuck it man we ball T  T i don't get the feeling that it’s in its negative connotation here because it’s clarifying the jedgement card , i mostly feel that it's telling the story that your friends warned against being with him because of his general . . . disposition ꒰ like we both know how he comes off like first impression wise ໒꒰ྀི × ˕ ×。꒱ྀི১ ꒱

and i feel like the aforementioned difference between you is why the people around you were wary when you expressed your affections for him bc they were like huh ??? you’re a sweetheart and he’s so . . . damon 💀💀💀 but dw user fruitswrl . . . i get the appeal ,, i see you and you see me LAMAJNDIFJIKJF

꒰ off topic ,, but i love it when this happens !!!! i feel like I’m being validated with my train of thought bc as i'm going on abt the stark difference between the two of you " the cowgirl and the dandy " by miss dolly parton starts playing 🤭🤭🤭🤭 ꒱

with the hierophant placed beside the tower card , i get the feeling that he changes a lot on how you look at life in general . he changes a few misconceptions you have about the vampiric lifestyle , changes how you view him from the first impression you had of him , etc . etc .

⟡ what’s the first thing they noticed about you ? ⟡

the first thing he noticed about you is how generally unafraid you are of him 😭😭 like i’m sure he’s used to people cowering before him when being introduced to him , but with you , you were almost nonchalant about it , like you did nawwwwwt gaf LMAIAISIFJAI

idk why i’m getting this idea that like he tried to intimidate you / make you shiver your timbers , but you just blinked at him like . . . okay ??? . . . anyway . . . 😭😭😭😭😭😭 that’s a very rare thing for him to experience so it like stuck out to him pffftttt

with the very authoritative energy of both the emperor and king of swords , it’s something that genuinely he still thinks back to long long after you two get together , like he’s so stumped like how were you so chill ?? is he not as intimidating as he thinks ?? LMAIOOOOAJSDAJSDH

꒰ another off topic comment , but before i even shuffled the playlist i have for these reading , i was thinking of smooth operator by sade and i was like " huh weird okay . . . " AND LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF ME READING YOUR CARDS IT PLAYS JSJAAJAJAJ mind you this playlist has like 90 different songs so i think that was v silly asdsjhfjkadf ꒱

on the topic of smooth operator , i get the feel like you weren’t fazed by his charms , like it ties in to the whole unaffected and not scared of him thing i mentioned ,,, like maybe he tried to rizz you up and you were like ummm . . alrighty . . o_o ꒰ even though you were or weren't internally screaming shahahaahdfja you just didn’t let it show outwardly at first ꒱

songs that may resonate w/ your dr relationship ⏦ﾟ♡︎ ࿐all mine by brent faiyaz ࿐smooth operator by sade ࿐cowgirl & the dandy by dolly parton ꒰ peak song btw . . . love this song with my heart LOLLL ꒱
