Fear Of Shifting Or An Extinction Burst In Disguise?

frustration and annoyance

when i decided to take some time to work on myself and my shifting journey i thought i would become more spiritual, connect to my higher self and that i would find some mythical peace. last night i could not sleep and was the most annoyed i’ve been in a long time, but it allowed me to change my perspective. i used to think that what’s ment for me will find me, that it will all happen naturally and i don’t need to do anything - just be, i’m not saying that those things are wrong, but i’m sick of waiting for things i want to find me, i know where they are so i’m taking it myself. i’m done waiting and trying - i’m getting in my dr now and that’s it, i don’t give a fuck how, i’m getting there now and there’s no other option. i used to say i’m shifting soon, but there’s no soon there’s just now, it’s not even now or never - it’s just now.

The senses shift last

Focus on your internal experience. That is what matters. That is what shifts. Think as your DR self and no one else. If you enter the mental state of your DR self you will enter the physical state of your DRself.

It's ok if you don't feel it yet, it's ok if you hear a sound from your CR, it's ok if you can feel your old bedroom still. It's OK.

Shifting is not a physical process. Your physical body is not what's shifting between realities, your awareness is. Your sight, hearing, taste, feeling, etc, are all a part of your physical body.

What the nerves in your body are experiencing doesn't matter because you are not the nerves, you are not the body, you are the awareness. Your body isn't trying to shift, your mind is.

You are trying to become aware of another reality and therefore what you are experiencing in this one is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what this body experiences it matters what your awareness is experiencing.

Shifting is internal focus on shifting internally.

If you still don't get it think of it this way:

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

If you are sitting down and thinking to yourself about everything see, hear, feel, smell, or taste from your CR, then you are LITERALLY applying the 5 senses method to your CR.

If your method is mainly affirming, so repeating to yourself that you're there, WHAT do you think is happening when you keep telling yourself you're not there? Everything you say is an affirmation. It's not that methods aren't working it's that you are literally applying them in reverse.

It doesn't matter what your senses are telling you because you will shift before they do. It doesn't mean anything unless you tell yourself that it does.

If your senses do not match your mental state stay in the mental state until they do. Do not compromise with shit you don't want.

STAY in the mind of your DRself. That's your only job. Continue to think as if you're there. Continue to think about your life in your DR, continue to occupy the mind of your DRself.

This is what so many people get stuck on. I don't expect you to magically stop experiencing it, it is ok that you felt it. All you have to do is continue to think as if you are in your DR anyway.

Your subconscious will believe what you tell it over what your body is experiencing. Your only goal is to keep telling it that you're in your DR.

Yes you might have heard a loud noise and yes you know it's not from your DR. That doesn't matter. The goal is not to magically un-hear it but to avoid returning to the mental state of your CR self.

It is ok if you can't make yourself believe you're there, you just have to think to yourself as if you are. Think as DR you and no one else.

Essentially, you shift mentally before you feel it physically. Before you experience your desired reality externally you experience it internally.

Tumblr please stop flagging my posts for no reason

Just saw ANOTHER person on shifttok pull a

“Now that it’s 2024 can we all talk about how that shifting thing was fake?”

^^^ and everyone in the comments was saying “I lied” “I actually got diagnosed with schizophrenia” etc etc…

{disclaimer: I’m not trying to come across as annoying and if so just scroll, but I have never in all the three + years I’ve know of shifting have asked for validation (in terms of the validity of shifting) from the community. I’m well aware of how not to rely on external validation.}

So with that out of the way, people who have shifted, if you feel like it can you talk about it in the replies, tell me I’m not insane for this, that I haven’t wasted three years of my life. And I’m not saying deep down I don’t believe it’s real, it’s just shifting, yes is a personal journey, but is often a very isolating and lonely one (at least to me).

The real reason people struggle to enter the void state

Anxiety and stress.

That’s literally all it is. Especially if you’re manifesting to change your life entirely. It can feel like the entire world is on your shoulders. It can feel like life or death.

The times when I’ve entered the void state I’ve entered accidentally or just to achieve the state for the relaxation that comes with it. Nothing else.

Imagine buying a lottery ticket, and someone whispers behind you. “You’re going to 100% win…you just have to guess the right numbers.” You’d be frozen, you’d overthink, chop and change. Your entire life could change with this one choice, this one moment. It would be absolutely nerve-racking. My point is, if the weight of your reality is on your shoulders, maybe try entering the void state just because. Just because you can, and just because it’s easy.

You wanna manifest using the void state? That’s awesome! But you don’t need to do it on your first time. You could enter for the sake of it on a Friday, experience the state for the first time without the stress and anxiety, then enter again on the Monday and manifest what you want, because you know just how easy it is.

Relax.

I THINK, THEREFORE I SHIFT ✶

let's explore how this philosophy integrates into the mindset, mechanics, and power of shifting, and how you can use it as a cornerstone of belief to enhance not just your shifting, but also manifestation practice.

𖥻 WHAT DOES "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" MEAN?

coined by rené descartesin meditations on first philosophy (1641), "i think, therefore i am" (cogito, ergo sum) is a philosophical principle discussing that our ability to think proves our existence. it’s the idea that the very act of conscious thought is undeniable evidence that we are.

when tied to shifting, this principle forms the foundation of belief :

⋆  THOUGHT IS POWER : if you can conceptualise a reality, it’s evidence that this reality exists somewhere, in some form.

⋆  CONSCIOUSNESS AS CREATION : your thoughts don't just reflect reality; they create it. by thinking about a desired reality (dr), you validate its existence and affirm your ability to connect with it.

⋆  EXISTENCE IS FLUID : if your existence is affirmed by thought, why limit that existence to one reality? by thinking of your dr, you acknowledge your ability to exist there, too.

𖥻 INTERSECTION OF SHIFTING AND DESCARTES.

shifting works largely on belief. "i think, therefore i am" is a mantra that dismantles doubts and reinforces your ability to shift.

— A. THINKING IS BELIEVING. when you shift, the most important mindset is to believe in your dr as real and attainable. doubt anchors you to your current reality (cr), but thought and belief can transport you.

⋆  IF YOU THINK YOU'RE IN YOUR DR, YOU ARE : by focusing your thoughts and immersing yourself in the experience, you align with the energy of that reality.

⋆  AFFIRMATIONS : every time you think about your dr—imagining its details, feeling its emotions—you strengthen its existence. "i think, therefore i am" becomes "i think of my dr, therefore i am in my dr."

— B. YOUR DR ALREADY EXIST. in quantum theories and metaphysics, all realities exist simultaneously, and your consciousness determines which one you inhabit. thinking about a specific dr is like tuning into a radio station—you don’t create the station; you simply align with its frequency.

⋆  CARTESIAN CLARITY : if your thought of the dr exists, the dr must exist. by thinking about it, you prove it’s possible.

⋆  SHIFTING AS NAVIGATION : your thoughts are like coordinates, pointing your consciousness to the dr.

— C. THE FLUIDITY OF IDENTITY : descartes implied that identity is tied to thought. in shifting, your identity isn’t bound by your cr—you can "be" whoever you want.

⋆  SCRIPTED IDENTITY : in your dr, you can script qualities, relationships, or even new personas. the act of thinking and scripting makes them real for you.

𖥻 OVERCOMING DOUBTS WITH "COGITO."

doubts about shifting often stem from overthinking or feeling disconnected. descartes’ philosophy helps neutralise this.

— A. DOUBTS AS PROOF OF EXISTENCE. even if you doubt shifting, remember: the ability to doubt is proof of your capacity to think and exist.

⋆ REDIRECT THE DOUBT : instead of "what if i can’t shift?" (if you still think like that, i will SLAP you (i'm joking (not.))) think "i’m aware of my doubt, which means i’m conscious, which means i can direct that consciousness elsewhere."

— B. EMBRACE THE POWER OF CHOISE. descartes argued that thought is evidence of free will. if you’re thinking about shifting, you’re already exercising that will. use it to choose to shift.

𖥻 BEYOND PHILOSOPHY : APPLYING "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" TO SHIFTING.

— A. MULTIVERSE THEORY MEETS DESCARTES. in a multiverse, infinite realities coexist. thinking of one dr is like opening a door to it. descartes gives you the confidence to step through by asserting that thought is all the proof you need.

— B. YOUR CR VS YOUR DR. the line between your cr and dr is only as real as you allow it to be.

⋆  in your cr, you think of your dr.

⋆  by thinking of your dr, you prove its existence.

⋆  by immersing yourself in those thoughts, you live in your dr.

𖥻 CLOSING THOUGHTS.

"I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" is the ultimate affirmation of your shifting journey. it reminds you that your power lies in your consciousness. by thinking of your dr, you validate its existence and affirm your ability to shift there. doubts don’t define you; they highlight your ability to think and create.

in the end, shifting is less about "leaving" one place and more about realising you already are wherever your thoughts take you.

How I became a master shifter (+ why methods aren't working for you)

Hello! I’ve been seeing a lot of disinformation lately, and I’ve noticed that some people might need help, so I wanted to chime in. I can shift whenever I want, and I see a LOT of limiting beliefs—but I understand because I was once on the other side.

Disclaimer: This is all based on my personal experience with how I became a master shifter. You’ll want to read everything—it’s important.

I first shifted around March 2022. I would always use methods. I would affirm, tell myself I was detached from this reality, and so on. During my very first shift, I literally affirmed all night long (if this sounds familiar, it’s because I used to have another blog here, lol). You know, really complicated stuff. Then... things changed. I couldn’t shift anymore. I kept using the same methods, but they didn’t work!

That’s when I started questioning everything about shifting and consciousness. Why was it that I could be in another reality where things like magic exist, but then suddenly I couldn’t shift anymore? Why were the methods, like lucid dreaming or the void, seemingly more powerful than the act of switching realities itself? Why, when I shifted from my Desired Reality to my Current Reality, all I needed to do think of my CR to shift back—but it didn’t work the other way around?

None of it made sense! And I’m sure many others have asked themselves these same questions.

I came up with two theories:

This reality has something unique compared to the infinite other realities. To shift from here, you need something extra, like a method.

There’s something else at play, something unrelated to the realities themselves.

I dismissed the first option. There’s nothing inherently special about this reality. So why do we use methods here but not in our DRs?

Then, I thought back to how I used to shift... detaching from my body, affirming until I shifted. It all aligned with my subconscious beliefs. The method didn’t work because that’s how shifting works, but because it made sense to my subconscious. Of course I would shift if I did these things—because that’s what I believed shifting required.

Well... kind of. As I said, it made sense because it aligned with my beliefs. So when the method failed, I wasn’t letting myself shift.

Did you catch that? I didn’t let myself shift. Of course, it wasn’t the method. At what point do you actually shift? Is it when you affirm? Do you really think the universe is just waiting for you to say the right thing enough times before it switches you to your DR?

No. It’s you.

So, you have two choices:

Find a method that truly aligns with your beliefs, or

Change your subconscious beliefs.

Changing your beliefs might seem hard, but I’m going to explain why it’s not as difficult as it feels.

All your life, you’ve had certain beliefs, but those beliefs came from somewhere. You weren’t born thinking you need methods to shift—it’s something that developed over time. Which means it’s not set in stone. It can be changed.

I realized that every reality holds the same weight. There’s NOTHING you can do in this one—no intrusive thoughts or negative emotions—that can stop you. Why? Because those thoughts and emotions are products of this reality. Shifting is simply changing what you’re aware of. That’s literally it. Anything outside of that can’t stop you.

Yes, we’ve all seen those posts saying things like, "Oh, you’re not focused enough" or "You spend too much time on X, Y, Z" or even "You don’t go outside enough" (I legit read this on here—y'all are wildin’). Are you in your DR thinking "Oh, I thought about failing to shift, it means I won't :("? Of course you aren't! But nothing can stop you from shifting. Nothing can stop you from being aware that you are a master shifter.

So, how do you become aware of that?

I started affirming throughout the day. I would tell myself these things:

I’m pure consciousness. I create my reality, and everything around me is just what I choose to perceive.

I’m a master shifter. I don’t need methods. All I need to do is choose to shift, think of my DR, and it happens.

Nothing in the 3D can stop me from shifting, because I’m in the 4D and pure consciousness.

I told myself these things constantly, and I truly understood what I was affirming. What being pure consciousness and being a master shifter actually meant. I stopped using methods. I stopped acting like this reality was special compared to the ones I wanted to be in. And then... it happened.

I shifted. During the day. I simply thought of my DR, told myself, I want to shift, and there I was—in my DR. It happened because, as I said, my subconscious beliefs changed and then manifested in my reality. The same way they did when I believed I needed methods.

Naturally, I stopped using methods. I stopped trying to shift. I no longer thought, Okay, tonight I’m going to shift, and I'm going to use X method. Because that’s not how you think or act when you’re a master shifter. I let go—why would I bother using a method before sleeping when I could just stand up, think about my DR, and be there? Why would I bother doing a method before falling asleep when I knew I'm a master shifter?

I allowed myself to shift. It was me! When people ask, What method did you use? What did you do to shift?—do you really, truly believe it’s the method that makes you shift? Of course you do, because you live in a reality that seems logical, and you apply that logic to shifting. But shifting isn’t logical! It just happens! I have no idea why—it’s literally just magic to me—but that’s how it works.

So, you need to understand: You make it happen. That’s a good thing, right? It means you don’t need methods, and you don’t need to keep searching for “the key.”

Anyway, I hope this helps someone. (Also yes, before you tell me, I know this is basically Law Of Assumption. But I wanted to explain it in more of shifting terms)

(Also if someone wants to post this to another social you have my permission- especially reddit since I was active in that community but I deleted my acc lol)

if you want proof before belief, you’ll wait forever. if you believe first, proof will chase you

So I might delete this because it isn't well thought out but I might have a theory why some people aren't waking up in their intended reality despite their intention being strong enough.

I think the reason why is not inherently because the intention to wake up in X reality is not strong enough, but because you might associate going to sleep and sleep itself with waking up here, or to be more precise, waking up where you fell asleep.

So I think It would be useful if you started associating sleep itself with shifting. You do not wake up in your DR, you shift while sleeping because sleep ITSELF makes you shift. So from now on, everytime you fall asleep, you just shift, no matter if its at night, or a nap. Just sleeping is making you shift.

So its like... You shift as soon as you fall asleep. Its obvious you'll wake up there because you already shifted the second you fell asleep.

Dreaming + Shifting

Shifting diary entry #8 !!! (and asking for help again…)

I’ve made posts before about what it means to dream and how that relates to your shifting journey, and here I am doing it again… (also I wish I’ve made more diary entries on here it’s kinda been a while, but I’ve doing A LOT of reflection in my personal shifting journal, maybe I’ll make some of them posts…?)

My whole life I’ve been a dreamer, before I even learned of shifting I lucid dreamt quite often. I would use dreaming as an escape from my life here. My dreams are often intense and vivid.

And they definitely were last night, I had so many dreams it was crazy. But to parts in particular stood out to me that made me want to make this post.

It was later in the night, I originally thought to lucid dream and shift that way instead of doing an awake method (because of something that happened earlier in the night that I’ll get to later)

I think I just forgot that I wanted to that and I didn’t end up saying affirmations as I went to sleep to help guide me into a lucid dream, instead I thought of my DR. And … I ended up having VERY vivid dream of my DR s/o. Like I don’t think I’ve had a more vivid dream related to my current DR.

(I don’t remember what was going on before this) I opened the door in the room I was in and there leaning on the wall was my s/o. Again so vivid so much more detail in this dream. I remember thinking that I felt my stomach drop when I saw him there 😭 I also thought “omg he’s so tall I need to script he’s not this tall” ??? Anyways I think we talked but I can’t remember, I just remember kissing him and us cuddling. I remember sitting in front of him with his arms around me. I think someone else from my DR interrupted us bc we had some place to go, and my sister from this reality did the same?

I remember feeling really sad when I woke up, but I just tried to feel better by reminding myself I can just be there for real 😭

Now for the part I REALLY wanted to talk about. The part that, if anyone reading can help me analyze, I would much appreciate it.

I was gonna do an awake method last night but decide I should sleep for a couple hours then do it. So I set the intention to wake up at like 4, I woke up at like 4 30 but I was waking up before this but just kept going back to sleep and anxiously waking up lol. Anyways I woke up and put on a guided meditation and went for it, but then a couple minutes in I just randomly remember this part of my dream that made me stop my meditation.

I can’t fully remember what was going on before this, but I was in some sort of library/book store and this lady asks me to tell her a cool fact. (?)I panicked and couldn’t think of anything. I can’t remember what happened between this moment and the next but it eventually led to us talking about shifting. She told me she’s an avid shifter, she’s been shifting since 2020. And she told me she’s 24 years old? I don’t know who this woman was, she’s certainly not anyone in my life and not like some shifting “influencer” I like or something? I remember her giving me shifting advice but I just can’t seem to remember what it was!?!? 😭 I remember her comforting me, and telling me stuff along the lines of “don’t worry it is inevitable that you will shift” though. Ugh, I wish I could remember. But this is why I decided to try and lucid dream instead.

But if anyone reading this wants to feel free to analyze this for me, idk what this means for me or my journey. If my subconscious mind keeps saying and doing stuff like this, why haven’t I shifted? What does this even mean for me?

I’ve had similar experiences in dreams, like this one time a couple weeks ago I was dreaming of Star Wars (odd bc I’ve never seen the movies) and I met two guys and I explained shifting to them and they were very curious about it. And I even remember thinking in that dream “should I tell them I shifted here?” (???)

Anyways I feel (slightly) sick to my stomach about the vivid dream I had of my s/o and idk what my other part means…

How to enter the Void State?

1: It’s easy. Don’t overcomplicate it. Every time you get lost in thoughts and don’t feel your surroundings anymore, that’s when you’ve entered the void.

2: Personally, I prefer to do this method at night. But do what’s best for you, preferably at a time when you won’t be disturbed. Lie or sit down—whatever is more comfortable for you.

3: Scratch every itch you have, then lay still once you’re ready, listening to calm music. Anything that keeps your mind awake but lets your body fall asleep— you should not move so you reach the void faster.

4: Lie still, let the music play for around 20-30 minutes without moving. By now, your body should be asleep, and your mind awake. When the music stops, simply focus on the black behind your eyes and, if you want to, affirm.

That’s it.

You got this.
