“if I Don’t Shift I’ll...” NO

whenever i doubt shifting being real the image of that dude about to hit diamonds flashes in my mind and i go back to my silly little scripts.

Meditation + shifting question

I would like some help regarding meditation, specifically during shifting attempts.

In the whole time I’ve known of shifting and would use meditation as way to get to my DR, it seems I stumble on the same issue. I’m not sure what to do about it so hopefully someone has some advice !

Anywho, I would be mediating and after a while I would enter a deep meditative state, quite peaceful and relaxing, and at a certain point my whole body will jerk. I know some people might read this and want to tell me to just ignore it but this is some small thing. It will feel like I’m literally falling and my whole body is flung and after my heart is beating like crazy.

And then I’m snapped out of my meditative state, often I will just try again but… then it happens again and then I just get annoyed.

I get it, my body is falling asleep and my mind wants to check. But I can deal with those minor twitches. The ones I’m referring to is something else entirely and I’m not sure what to do about it?

I’ve had progress regarding dreaming and connecting stronger with dream practices, perhaps I should focus on that… another question for another day I suppose.

Idk if this makes sense but how do you not snap out of a state of pure consciousness??? I feel like I’m constantly doing that before I can even think of what I want… and then my heart starts beating like crazzzyy.

just take a deep breath and shift. that’s all you need to do. you are literally shifting currently, and you will be where you intend to be within the next hour !! ( you already are )

I would just like to say— because i’ve had this thought for approximately 15 days now— if you feel super stuck or frustrated in your journey right now and also feel like your team isn’t helping out, or they’re giving you the same advice they always give, it’s likely because you’re closer to shifting than you currently think.

i’m gonna use hunger games as an example for this, bear with me but in the first book, katniss is dying of thirst and she resorts to just shouting up at the sky hoping that haymitch will get a sponsor to send her water. he does not. katniss is confused by this momentarily before realizing that sponsor gifts are given only by absolute necessity. which means, if haymitch is silent, then katniss is closer to water than she thinks. a couple minutes of walking later and she finds the fresh water stream…

view shifting in the same way. haymitch is your team or the universe if you will. you’re katniss. the water is your dr. you might feel stuck and lost right now and might not know what the hell is going on or why you haven’t shifted yet but in a few short steps you’re gonna get to your water source!

persist. don’t give up when you’re right at the finish line.

Why can’t I find any one who shifts to the vampire diaries. Like this show is popular and yet all I can find are old posts that aren’t active any more. 🙄

Update: my dad ended up getting Chinese food for everyone 😭

I think I almost shifted

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒 𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

I woke up around 9 this morning and was kinda irritated that the night prior my cat was being annoying when I went to lay down and meditate but I just shrugged it off, it’s Christmas anyways.

I then saw a post on Reddit regarding a way to have your body asleep and mind awake. I thought it was kind of interesting and made a mental note to try it out and laid down and contemplated just shifting right then and there. Most times when I “try” to shift it’s not in the morning due to everyone being up and what not. But I was, still am, kind of just over my shifting journey at this point.

Instead of referencing the info I saw on Reddit I just began to think of my plans my first day in my DR. Eventually my dad turned the heat on because it was so cold and I just decided to let myself rest more bc I didn’t sleep well.

I continued to think of my first day as I drifted off to sleep and how annoyed I was with my journey.

Eventually I slipped into a dream, a very strange one at that, an experience I’ve never had before really.

It began with me trying cake for my wedding (?) and for a bit it was somewhat normal. I’m not sure when exactly my dream changed but I remember being in the car with my sister and dad, he was driving us home. At this point I was constantly teetering on being awake and in a dream, and it’s clear to me now that in this dream I thought I was awake and living out today.

My dad mentioned how he picked up Chinese food for my mom, and I thought that was weird because he was supposed to make wings tonight. I remember joking with my sister that it sucks he did that because we were planning to get Chinese food later.

This dream was so vivid… I remember looking out of the car on the way home and it was so beautiful, the way the light was going through the trees the architecture. I thought to myself “I don’t remember this place ever looking like this.. so odd” there were so many indicators in this dream that I feel like I should’ve gotten lucid but I never did…?

Anyways we got home and the only parts I remember is I was standing on the couch for some reason (it was also in a different spot) and there was a wolf there??? I called out for my dad and when he came into the living room the wolf was gone. He looked at me strangely and said something like “did you not drink enough coffee today” and I remember thinking that that was such a strange thing for him to say in general but also in that moment as I stood on the couch claiming there was a literal wolf in our living room. But still I didn’t become lucid.

Instead I laid on the couch I said to myself “I’m just gonna shift instead” and right when I closed my eyes and said I’m in my DR, my body began buzzing all over, I began to feel as though I was floating and my surroundings around me began to warp. I got excited but stayed focused, I continued saying “I am in my DR” and I imagined where I was gonna wake up, what I would be wearing… and the sensations became more extreme. I continued to persist. But unfortunately something woke me up here.

It was such an odd experience, I’ve lucid dreamt many times and tried shifting via a dream many times before too. But never anything like this where I thought I was awake and just subconsciously did an attempt?????? This feels like a good thing but… where does this leave me? What does this mean, and why didn’t I shift :(

Why you acting like shifting is a 9-5 job? BABE, it’s effortless. You don’t TRY, you just DO.
