I'm feeling an UNBEARABLE amount of longing for my DR rn I'm going to explode
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.
Love inserting myself into everything I consume, even if I end up changing the original story a lot…

shifting realities, a practice of mentally transitioning to a desired reality (DR), intertwines concepts from neuroscience, quantum physics, and psychology. while scientific validation is still in its infancy, existing theories offer frameworks to understand the phenomenon.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ CONSCIOUSNESS : THE SEAT OF REALITY.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: consciousness ┊ the multiverse hypothesis.
⋆ CONCEPT. quantum physics posits that every possible outcome of an event exists in a vast multiverse. each universe represents a different version of reality, from mundane variations to wildly different trajectories.
⋆ MECHANICS OF SHIFTING. shifting leverages the idea that consciousness can “tune into” alternate universes. by focusing on a desired reality, practitioners align their conscious awareness with a specific timeline, effectively "jumping" across dimensions.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: consciousness ┊ the role of conscious observation.
in quantum mechanics, the observer effect suggests that particles exist in a superposition (multiple states) until observed. conscious focus collapses possibilities into a single reality. you can read about my analysis of SCHRÖDINGER’S CAT here.
shifting might work similarly, where intense visualisation collapses infinite possibilities into one "realised" timeline.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ THE NEUROLOGICAL FOUNDATION.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ neural plasticity and the brain's power.
the brain's neuroplasticity allows it to rewire itself in response to new stimuli and beliefs. shifting involves training the brain to perceive the DR as real, thereby strengthening neural pathways that reinforce the experience.
⋆ THETA BRAINWAVES. shifting techniques often involve meditation, which increases theta wave activity. theta waves, prominent during deep relaxation and REM sleep, are associated with vivid imagination and dreamlike states.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the role of mirror neurones.
mirror neurons, which fire both when we perform an action and when we observe someone else doing the same, could play a subtle role in visualisation techniques. when you "observe" yourself in your DR through intense imagery, your brain might treat these imagined scenarios as if they’re real, reinforcing belief and enhancing the sense of "already being there."
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the reticular activating system (RAS).
the RAS, a network in the brainstem, filters sensory input and prioritizes information aligned with your focus. when you script or affirm your DR, the RAS begins to align your perception with those desires, enhancing your belief in the shift's possibility.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ dissociation and immersive visualisation.
research in dissociation suggests that the brain can create distinct mental states or realities. by using visualisation techniques, individuals can generate hyper-realistic alternate experiences akin to waking dreams.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: foundations ┊ the role of self-suggestion &&& hypnosis.
⋆ HYPNOSIS AS A TOOL. shifting techniques mimic hypnotic induction, where focused attention, repetition, and relaxation lead to a state of heightened suggestibility. the subconscious mind, which governs much of our perception, accepts suggestions about the DR as reality.
⋆ THE POWER OF AUTOSUGGESTION. repetition of affirmations, such as "i am already in my dr," creates a feedback loop where the brain internalizes these statements. this process, known as neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), reinforces belief and makes the DR feel tangible.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ cognitive dissonance &&& belief formation.
shifting relies on creating a state of cognitive dissonance, where the mind reconciles the gap between belief (DR is real) and current reality (CR). the stronger belief in the DR eventually overrides the CR as the dominant perception.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ flow states.
flow, a state of intense focus where self-awareness diminishes, mirrors the mental absorption experienced during shifting. techniques like visualisation and scripting can help induce flow, making the DR feel seamlessly real.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ neuroaesthetics.
the DR's vividness can be enhanced by neuroaesthetics, which studies how beauty and sensory immersion influence brain activity. the more sensory and aesthetically rich your DR script, the more compelling it becomes to your mind.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: perspectives ┊ trauma healing potential.
shifting might inadvertently serve as a therapeutic tool, offering escapism with benefits. by repeatedly inhabiting realities where you are empowered, safe, or joyful, your brain may rewire itself towards those states, even in the CR.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ QUANTUM &&& ENERGETIC THEORIES.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ quantum entanglement.
if consciousness exists as an energetic field, it may interact with quantum particles. shifting could represent an entanglement between the practitioner’s conscious field and the vibrational frequency of the DR.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ string theory &&& vibrational aligment.
string theory suggests that all matter vibrates at specific frequencies. visualisation and affirmations may "tune" an individual’s consciousness to the frequency of their DR, akin to dialling into a specific radio station.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ superposition &&& decision-making.
expand the schrödinger's cat analogy: every decision you make keeps you in one "collapsed" version of reality while the unchosen options exist elsewhere. shifting might involve "uncollapsing" your current state to step into a different outcome entirely.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: theories ┊ quantum foam.
quantum foam, a concept from quantum mechanics, describes the universe's fabric as constantly fluctuating, bubbling with mini-universes. shifting could theoretically align consciousness with one of these constantly emerging pockets of reality.
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ ANCHORING WITH SENSE.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: anchoring ┊ tactile anchors.
practices like holding an object from your CR while visualising your DR may keep your conscious mind grounded enough to shift seamlessly. for example, touching a specific fabric in both realities to "bridge" them with texture memory.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: anchoring ┊ music &&& frequencies.
sound frequencies (e.g., binaural beats) are popular in shifting techniques, and they resonate with the vibrational alignment theory. specific frequencies could "tune" the brain to DR wavelengths, akin to fine-tuning a radio signal.
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ BRIDGING CULTURAL CONCEPTS.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: cultural concepts ┊ shifting &&& mysticism .
shifting parallels ancient spiritual practices, such as astral projection and lucid dreaming from hindu and Ttbetan traditions. these systems often view the mind as a bridge between realities, blurring lines between spiritual transcendence and what shifting communities describe as DR transitions. could this modern practice be a rebranding of timeless mystical insights?
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: cultural concepts ┊ collective consciousness .
jung's theory of the collective unconscious suggests a shared psychological reservoir of archetypes and experiences. if shifting connects consciousness to the multiverse, it might draw from this collective field, where every possibility already "exists."
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ SKEPTICISM &&& ALTERNATIVE 'EXPLANATIONS'.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ lucid dreaming.
critics (close minded antis) argue that shifting might be an advanced form of lucid dreaming, where the mind creates hyper-realistic simulations during REM sleep.
while not a literal shift, the subjective experience of a DR is indistinguishable from reality, lending credibility to the practice.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ psychological escapism.
shifting may also serve as a form of escapism, offering a mental sanctuary for individuals to explore alternate lives and identities.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ overlap with phenomenology.
philosophers like husserl explore how consciousness shapes reality. if CR is already shaped by perception, then DRs aren’t inherently less valid; they’re just alternate experiential frames.
·. ˚ ༘ NOW READING: skepticism ┊ the role of memory.
some skeptics might argue that "recalled" DR experiences are a type of confabulation—your mind assembling experiences that feel real. but this doesn’t discredit the power of belief or the emotional authenticity of the DR.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR SHIFTING.
⋆ SCRIPTING. writing detailed descriptions of your DR to prime the mind.
⋆ VISUALISATION. using sensory-rich imagery to mentally "step into" the DR.
⋆ ANCHOR TECHNIQUES. incorporating objects or phrases to maintain a connection to the DR.
⋆ REVERSE SHIFTING (BACK TO CR). for practitioners concerned about getting "stuck," developing reverse-shifting techniques—like using a safe word, visualising CR-specific objects, or scripting anchors—can help reinforce a sense of control.
⋆ SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE IN SCRIPTS. add metaphors or symbols to DR scripts, which the subconscious processes more easily. for instance, scripting a "golden thread" connecting you to your DR can feel more vivid than relying solely on literal descriptions.
ּ * ˖ ་
𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ FINAL THOUGHTS.
while shifting lacks direct empirical proof, its foundations in quantum theory, neurobiology, and psychology make it a compelling intersection of science and self-exploration. by engaging in practices that align consciousness, belief, and intention, practitioners create a powerful framework for experiencing alternate realities—whether as a genuine quantum leap or a profound psychological transformation.
*.˗ˏˋ DEILD- The Quickest And Easiest Method To Lucid Dream That I know ´ˎ˗.*
Listennnn, I love the lucid dream method down. It is AND ALWAYS WILL BE my favorite way to shift, apart from the void state.
BUT I know I cannot be the only one struggling to get lucid😩😭 At least I used to struggle before I found DEILD. I found other techniques tedious, having to do constant reality checks during the day felt like a chore and lying completely still in bed for 30+ minutes waiting for my body to fall asleep was quite literally torture to me. IF I could stay awake through it because most times I couldn’t or just rolled over and gave up because nothing was happening and I was très uncomfortable.
I’ve tried mild, SSILD, fild, ALL THE “ILDS” every single one and while they are effective, I’ve finally found the technique that works best for me and takes the least amount of time so I thought I would share, just in case it may help someone else!
With this technique you…..
Go from being awake directly into a lucid dream without falling asleep (this is called a wake initiated lucid dream and in my experience I feel more aware and in control with these vs when I randomly become aware in the middle of my dream. They are also easier to remember if you have poor dream recall. )
Are able to start the lucid dream scene in the privacy of your own room so you don’t have to worry about trying to shift in the middle of distracting dream scenes or dealing with distracting dream characters
You can save a Lucid dream that’s been cut short or even have several lucid dreams in one night using this method
Don’t need to do reality checks during the day if you don’t want to or do any other daytime prep
The whole thing takes 10-30 seconds START TO FINISH!
The technique…
Steps…
Before bed set the intention that when you wake up you will immediately remember to perform DEILD
Set a touchless alarm to wake you up anywhere from 3-6 hours after falling asleep. I like this one! Maybe put it in a playlist with a lucid dreaming subliminal or theta waves set to play after the alarm goes off to boost your chances of becoming Lucid🌙
Go to bed as normal. As I fall asleep I like to imagine myself waking up to the alarm and successfully performing DEILD. Then I imagine myself successfully entering the void from the LD and then successfully waking up in my wr. I loop this sequence until I fall asleep. I do this to help me remember to do the technique the second I wake up, but it is not at all necessary.
Immediately upon waking and hearing the alarm, I try to remember to stay still and not open my eyes. Minimal movement is fine, but we’re trying to convince our body that we’re still asleep! The alarm will shut off on its own.
Wait for what feels like 10 seconds without actually counting (Again, you don’t want to activate your Brain and wake yourself up too much )
After it feels like 10 seconds have gone by, do a reality check like the nose pinch test EVEN IF YOU FEEL WIDE AWAKE and don’t think you could possibly already be back asleep in only 10 seconds. Most of the time you’ll already be in what is called a false awakening-when you think you’re awake in bed but you’re actually dreaming
If you were able to breathe through your closed nose you are now in a lucid dream starting out in your room. You can proceed to shift to your dr in any way you like-some of my go to’s are:
-creating a portal
-entering the void and shifting from there
-entering the astral realm and shifting from there
-waking myself up from the dream but intending to wake up in my dr not my cr
Editors note:
If when you do the nose pinch test, you are still awake, repeat step 6 up to 2 more times. If by this point, you still have not entered a lucid dream, it is best to go back to bed and try again the next time you wake up. This method is very effective but fragile, as it is best performed in that very small hypnopompic window right when you are teetering on the edge of awake and asleep.
Why this method works…
When you wake up from sleep and don’t move or open your eyes, it tricks your body into thinking that you’re still asleep and it puts you back in a dream, even though your mind is actually awake! This is why a touchless alarm is helpful, or you can use natural awakenings.
Troubleshooting the method…
The hardest part about this method is remembering to stay still as soon as you wake up.
You can set the intention to remember to do so before bed
You can also use prospective memory training during the day (every time you look in a mirror/ drink something/ plug in your phone/ enter a different room etc you can affirm “the next time I wake up I will immediately remember to perform DEILD” )
And if you move by mistake or have to use an alarm that needs manually turned off, all is not necessarily lost. it’s still worth trying anyway as long as you think you’ll be able to fall back asleep! Just wait 30 seconds instead of 10 before doing a reality check and consider using an anchor to help keep you focused and awake (could be focusing on the sound of the subliminal if you made a playlist, or the sound of a fan etc)
TLDR OF THE TECHNIQUE:
Wake up either naturally or to a touch-less alarm. If you must use a manual alarm, keep movement minimal as to not activate your brain too much.
Lie still with your eyes closed and keep a blank mind for 10-30 seconds
Do a reality check to see if you are lucid dreaming

It’s shifting actually real?? like it’s not a dream, is like here?? i’m new at shifting and i don’t want to lose time —months or years— of my life in something that’s not real 😭😭 a lot of people in tiktok said it wasn’t, people who’d even were shifters
ugh GIRLLLSLKSJSJSJSNSNS. ok, first of all, shifting is as real as this conversation we’re having. you’re literally shifting all the time without even trying—like, every second, you’re moving through realities. it’s just about consciously picking where you wanna land.
those tiktok people literally just……….. don’t get it. they probably gave up halfway or didn’t believe enough in their own power. shifting takes practice and faith, but it’s not some pipe dream. it’s YOU, stepping into the life you’re scripting, no strings attached.
if it wasn’t real, would thousands of people be sharing their stories and methods? NO it isnt a tik tok trend because it existed in ancient greece and numerous parts of other cultures. trust yourself. trust your desires. you’re not losing time; you’re stepping into a life that’s more aligned with who you are. it’s not a waste—it’s freedom
You can do it
You really can shift. At night, when nobody disturbs you and you feel comfortable. In the evening, when you're buying groceries. During the day, while completing work or study tasks. Even when you're in the shower, you can shift. Heck, even now as you're reading these words, you can shift anywhere.
You can do this. Repeat after me, "I am all-powerful. Shifting is easy for me. I can shift at any time, no matter what."
Just keep that in your head. Remind yourself of your true power. No, it's not a lie, it's just a long forgotten truth about you, that you can do anything, that you can achieve anything.
shifting is INSANE
what do you mean i get to escape work to go do more work but its magical
How to shift realities right now using the law of assumption
This is a guide that I put together myself using all of the knowledge and wisdom that I've accumulated over the past three years of studying the law of assumption including my experiences using the law with reality shifting!
What is the law of assumption?
The law of assumption is what you believe is true is what you will see and experience in your reality.
We are creators who are meant to create. Where creation starts is from imagination/the 4D. And what is from imagination/the 4D gets reflected out into the physical/the 3D. In other words, what you see and experience is a reflection of what goes on in your mind (the thoughts that you have and continue to think, the beliefs that you have that you took in from the people who you were surrounded by when you were a child, and the assumptions you formed in your own mind).
For example you believe that you have to work hard to be successful. Because you believe this what you continue to see and experience is you being successful only after working hard.
Another example is you believe that something that you own is a lucky charm and makes you lucky when you carry it around. Because you believe this you see and experience that you are lucky whenever you carry that item around.
How do you manifest using the law of assumption?
Actually, you are always manifesting using the law of assumption. You are just unconsciously doing it. To consciously manifest using the law of assumption you change what goes on in imagination/the 4D by being the person who has what they want already in your mind by knowing what you want, knowing that you have it in your mind, and receiving it in the physical/the 3D.
How do you manifest shifting to your desired reality using the law of assumption?
Let's apply the three steps that I mentioned above to shifting realities specifically...
Step One: Know what you want.
This would be wanting to shift to your desired reality.
Step Two: Know that you have it.
Know that you have shifted to your desired reality already in your mind and be like how you would be long after you have shifted to your desired reality. How would you think long after you have shifted to your desired reality? When you think about your desired reality and living in it how fulfilled would you be?
If you like using manifestation techniques and believe that it helps you then do ONE of these things to "know that you have it":
Go through your day and night affirming and/or visualizing that you have shifted to your desired reality already and you are in your current reality right now because you choose to be.
Go through your day and night affirming and/or visualizing that you have shifted to your desired reality and you are living in your desired reality right now in your mind. (For example, if you are shifting to Hogwarts then while getting ready in the morning in your current reality you would think to yourself, "I can't wait to meet Luna later to go shopping at that crystal shop she was talking about.")
Remember, you are doing all of this IN YOUR MIND.
Step Three: Receive it in the physical/the 3D.
You experience shifting to your desired reality and living in it in real life.
When you stay in the state of already having shifted to your desired reality without having doubts and without wavering long enough then you will experience shifting to your desired reality and living in it in real life (wavering by the way is going back and forth in your mind thinking, "I have this," and then thinking, "I don't have this.").
That's it!
From the moment you want something you have it. From the moment you wanted to shift to your desired reality you shifted to your desired reality. Manifestation is instant. You can manifest things fast. Having this belief that you cannot is only because of conditioning, because of what you believed when you were a child from the people around you and from society. Also, time is an illusion. This is because you manifest your desire the moment you get into the state, the moment you believe that what you are telling yourself is true.
Furthermore, manifesting is easy and natural. You don't have to know how things will manifest in the physical/the 3D. That is not your job. Your job is to know that you have what you want now. Know what you want and go through with it in your mind long enough until it manifests in the physical/the 3D.
I know that most of us like to use shifting methods (myself included lol), so this portion is for those of you who do! You DO NOT need to use a shifting method to shift to your desired reality, but if you believe that using a shifting method will help you to shift you to your desired reality then do this...
When the time comes to use your shifting method believe that you will shift to your desired reality after using your shifting method.
If you see in the physical/the 3D that you don't shift to your desired reality after using your shifting method..that's okay. Don't be so hard on yourself. Keep acting as if.
Affirm and/or imagine that you have shifted to your desired reality:
"I shifted to my desired reality."
"I woke up in my desired reality."
"I opened my eyes in my desired reality."
Then, go to sleep knowing this or go on with the rest of your day or night continuing to know that you have shifted to your desired reality already in your mind.
Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not real so as long as you keep telling yourself the same affirmations (affirmations are just new thoughts that you want to have) then your subconscious mind will eventually take it as true and they will be your new assumptions or beliefs. And because your assumptions or beliefs create the physical/the 3D you will eventually experience shifting to your desired reality.
I hope this helped any shifter out there in some way!
With love, Emme
Affirmations to make it easier and faster
ps: It doesn't need to be “faster” tbh because it has already been done the moment you think it. These affirmations are just to help your subconscious match your imagination faster.
Everything only works if you BELIEVE it’s working
use these affirmations as if they were ABSOLUTE truths, cause they ARE!
Repeat these affirmations daily, especially when you wake up and before you go to sleep. The most important thing is to feel that they are true, even if it seems unlikely at the moment. This aligns your vibration with the reality you want to create. ✨
You got this.
It’s already done.
Okay, no more trying.
Go shift.
Fuck this reality.
You don't have school tomorrow, you don't have work tomorrow. You're going to your DR.
And that's it.
GO SHIFT
I'm tired as fuck and feeling very motivated, dunno if this makes sense
Dreaming + Shifting
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…
just saw a bullshit video on tiktok about someone saying shifting was fake and it GOT 500K LIKES. Don't let videos like that unmotivate u bc shifting is genuinely real. If it was fake we would've stopped talking about it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
— 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.
"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.
Okay, let’s talk about why I will NEVER take anti-shifters seriously. 💀 These people seriously think they’re serving some type of intellectual argument, but let’s be real—they’re just pathetic dick riders with no valid point to make. Sweetie, they think they can just hop on some anti-shifting bandwagon, pretend to be “woke,” and act like they know better than us. But we know the truth, and it's so obvious how weak and desperate they are. The only reason they’re even talking is because they can’t handle the fact that the shifting practice is real, and people are out here thriving while they’re stuck in their flop era. 🙄
I usually just scroll right past the negative content, but one day I saw this video that made me roll my eyes so hard I almost gave myself a headache. This girl is doing a makeup tutorial, all casual and cute, and then she drops the bomb: “Remember when we all used to shift in 2020? Can we admit that it was all a lie?” Like, girl, please. 💅 Immediately, the comment section is filled with people agreeing, “Yeah, it was just lucid dreaming.” “It was maladaptive daydreaming.” Sweetie, no. Just no. You’re out here acting like you have some epiphany, but it’s really just you looking for attention because, let’s face it, you’ve got nothing else going on. 💔
Here’s the thing: If you’re gonna pretend like you’re some kind of expert on shifting, at least do the work. At least try to understand what it actually means to shift, and not just repeat what everyone else says. 🧐 This girl comes out here saying she “shifted” and was “diagnosed with schizophrenia.” Girl. I had to pause and check if I was still watching the same video, because that was a whole mess. You’re throwing around terms like mental health issues just to sound edgy and relatable? Nope. Let’s be clear: schizophrenia is not something you just casually throw around to justify some half-assed clout-chasing narrative. If you really shifted, you wouldn’t be out here trying to “debunk” something you clearly never tried to understand in the first place. You pretended to shift for attention, and now that the hype died down, you decided to flip the script and start bashing shifting because it didn’t give you the clout you wanted. Pathetic. 🤭
And let’s not forget how she conveniently chose to make this video the one that blows up. 5.2 million views, girl? 😱 But the rest of your videos barely make it to 5k? Sis, we see you. We see how this is the only way you can get any traction. Your “I’m exposing shifting” video is your only shot at relevance, and it’s clear as day that you’ve jumped on this anti-shifting bandwagon just to get some views. The flop era is real, and it’s showinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. You had one moment where you got some attention, but the rest of your content is crickets. 🦗 I mean, honey, if you were actually serving something real, you wouldn’t have to rely on dragging people down to make a name for yourself. 🤦♀️
The truth is, she’s out here just riding whatever trend gets her noticed. That’s all she’s doing. When shifting was trending in 2020, she hopped on the wave pretending to be a part of it, and now that it’s not the "in" thing anymore, she’s throwing it under the bus to stay relevant. She’s the definition of a dick rider. Trying to latch onto whatever’s popular and ride the wave for as long as she can. But we see you, and it’s not cute. 🙄 You thought this was your moment to “expose” shifting and act like you’re somehow above it, but you’re just showing how desperate you are for attention. You're chasing views like a lost puppy, and it’s pathetic.
And don’t even get me started on that comment section. Why are these people agreeing with her, parroting the same old tired “shifting is just lucid dreaming” nonsense? Where are the real thinkers in this comment section? Sweetie, if you want to speak on something, at least educate yourself before you start spreading false info. 🙅♀️ It’s like y’all are too lazy to actually look into shifting, spiritual hygiene, and the depth of the practice. But instead, you’re just echoing a 2020 “shiftTok” narrative, regurgitating outdated and ignorant opinions like it’s fact. I’m honestly embarrassed for you. Do your research or stop talking. Simple as that. 🧠💡
The truth is, these anti-shifters don’t care about anyone’s mental health. They’re not “protecting” anyone; they’re just mad that they couldn’t get in on the trend or didn’t put in the effort to understand it. They want to act like they’re doing some grand thing by “debunking” shifting, but all they’re really doing is exposing their own ignorance. Like, sweetie, just admit you’re jealous. You couldn’t get the attention shifting gave others, and now you’re bitter about it. 😝 You couldn’t connect with the practice, so you’re going to try and tear it down. But guess what? It’s not working. 😘
Let’s talk about the bigger picture here. The real shifters—the ones who do the work, who research, who respect the practice and the boundaries it requires—we’re still out here, and we’re still shifting. We’re still growing, we’re still thriving, and we’re not letting some random, clout-chasing person get in the way of our personal journeys. The real shift doesn’t come from attention or clout; it comes from within. It comes from dedication, intention, and respect for what we’re trying to achieve. And trust me, anyone who genuinely shifts knows it’s an empowering, transformative experience—not something to be mocked. 💫👑
So to all the fellow shifters out there, don’t let these clowns get to you. Don’t let their negativity and petty arguments distract you from your journey. You are doing something real, something powerful. While they’re stuck in their flop era, we’re out here creating new realities, growing, and elevating ourselves in ways they’ll never understand. Keep going. Stay true to your path. And remember: the truth speaks for itself, and the real ones will always rise above the noise. ✨💖 Keep shifting, keep evolving, and never let anyone who doesn’t understand the practice try to dim your light. You’re not in the same lane as them—and you never will be. 👑💫
^^^ 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.}
Hey guys…
ngl im so proud of myself and my shifting journey recently, I don’t pressure myself to shift anymore, I don’t force myself to script or meditate. I really just go with the flow and do what I feel like in the moment.
shifting shouldn’t feel like a chore and that’s the biggest thing you need to know.
another thing is there shouldn’t be any disappointment after a “failed” shift. You HAVE shifted. you ARE in your chosen reality. So own that.
Why be negative and tell yourself you haven’t shifted!? when you really can tell yourself you have and control this reality as well.
𖥻 SPACE. just.. HELLO ?? we are literally a speck of dust in a ginormous cosmic playground that we can’t even fully explore because we’re too busy figuring out if cats can vibe to beethoven or if that godforsaken dress is white or blue. you think THIS is the only reality? somewhere out there, there’s a planet where the sky is pink, dogs talk, and you’re riding unicorns. shifting is NOT a crazy concept.
𖥻 DINOSAURS. THEY. WERE. REAL. like actual dragons without wings, stomping around, acting like they owned the place. if THAT can exist, why not shifting ? you think the universe peaked at “giant chickens with teeth”? no way. reality is way too wild for limits.
𖥻 DÉJÀ VU. EXPLAIN IT WITHOUT THE MULTIVERSE. I DARE YOU. why do we randomly feel like we’ve been here before, done this before, or even said this before? because we HAVE. somewhere, somewhen, sometime. you’re already living proof of infinite realities brushing shoulders.
𖥻 QUANTUM PHYSICS (4 da nerdies). scientists out here with their schrödinger’s cats and double-slit experiments proving that reality isn’t fixed. it’s ALL probabilities until you observe it.
𖥻 YOU'RE HUMAN. our brains are INSANE. dreams? lucid dreams? daydreaming? thinking of a time and feeling like you just tasted it? if your brain can already do ALL THAT, shifting is just another level. literally just....closing your eyes and opening them in another place.
𖥻 YOU'RE ALREADY DOING IT. every time you daydream or even think “what if,” you’re stepping closer to a version of yourself in another reality. you're peeking through the multiverse’s window. shifting is just diving in instead of peeking.
𖥻 YOUR DESIRES EXIST. if you can imagine it, it exists somewhere. that’s not wishful thinking; that’s logic. where do ideas come from if not from infinite possibilities? you’re not just dreaming—you’re remembering. nothing goes by you without a purpose. if it found you, it was supposed to !!!!!!!
𖥻 THE MANDELA EFFECT. remember when pikachu definitely had a black tail tip, or when the berenstain bears were called the berenSTEIN bears? reality’s already glitchy as fuck. shifting? just another glitch—but YOU’RE IN CONTROL.
𖥻 FAIRYTALES HAD TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE. you think someone just WOKE UP and said, “dragons, magic castles, enchanted forests!” no. no. no. those stories? they’re just whispers from realities where that’s NORMAL. you’re not making it up—you’re tuning in. experiencing it. liviiiiiiiing it.
𖥻 TIME IS FAKE. i said it. not to get too conspiratorial on my tumblr blog, but what even IS time? a straight line? a wibbly-wobbly thingy? we made clocks, but the universe? the universe is, like, “what is a ‘tuesday’?” shifting doesn’t care about time; it’s above all that silly nonsense. and so are you.
𖥻 PARALLEL UNIVERSE ARE A THING ('n' SCIENCE effing SAID SO). quantum mechanics already told us there’s an infinite number of realities where every possibility plays out. in one of them, you’re already living your best life. shifting is just YOU popping in to say hi to THAT version of you.
𖥻 REALITY IS (lowkey) BORING WITHOUT BELIEF. why settle for “this is it. this is my life. a 9-5 job. a life which i barely live out” when the multiverse is basically screaming, “come explore!!” ? you’re a creator. you’re a wanderer.
𖥻 "I FEEL IT" IS ENOUGH. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. if you can close your eyes and feel that DR, the love, the magic, the LIFE—you’re already there. the multiverse doesn’t need proof; it needs belief. so don't let idiots with half a brain on tik tok tell you that you're wrong, when you're so, so, so, so, SOOOO close to BEING THERE and living your best life.
𖥻 finally, LITERALLY, WHY NOT ? life’s already bananas. people thought flying was impossible, and now we’re out here booking ryanair flights to halfway across the world. people said sex with robots isn't true, and kim k is already siting on a robot's lap. people said the government cannot be stupid, and elon musk is already part of it. shifting is just the next “impossible” (and not to be cheeky...but the word literally has 'i'm possible' in it) thing that YOU are proving possible.
so. girl. dude. diva. bro. go shift.
okay, i mean it, im shifting tonight \(≧▽≦)/ you guys will too!!

Yall spirituality has been on the win
I have contact with a god, two guides, and have been shifting like CRAZY
I know how to shift on every try now. I know what was holding me back. I wasn't accepting shifting. There was so many "whys" and what ifs that I never stopped to accept the idea that I COULD shift. Accepting vs knowing isn't really talked about that much.
I had been so caught up in the why that I never spent time to think that it was okay now. I needed to accept the fact that a better life really WAS possible. And then it was "well if that was possible, why hadn't I gotten it yet? Why was I robbed of opportunity?" But that doesn't matter now. I had to accept the fact this reality isn't actually comfortable.
When a baby is born into a burning building, they never know how suffocating the smoke is until they get a breath of fresh air. Shifting is that breath of fresh air. It's scary because you've never smelled the fresh grass. You've never felt the sun on your face. The warmth isn't burning. And that's SCARY.
But you HAVE to accept the fact that the world isn't burning. You have to leave the heat of the house to feel the warmth of the sun. The cold of the pool and ocean.
I had to accept the fact comfortability was higher somewhere else. That I deserve better. That was what was holding me back. I can do better.
And since then, I've known EXACTLY how to shift. Everything just snapped.
Living in the end? Or hoping to shift?
"When I shift, I will..."
"if I wake up in my chosen reality..."
"I can't wait to meet my S/O..."
"When I finally shift, I will do this and this ..."
The thing you don't seem to grasp, is that you already exist in your chosen realities. You were born there, you grew up there, you formed core memories and have thousands of stories to tell... You have lived with your family for years and you have known your friends for years and you have most likely already met your S/O. You have eaten all of your favourite foods and went to most of your favourite places. You have fallen down and scraped your knee, you have gotten a bad haircut that you regretted immensely, you have gotten into a fight with your best friend and made up almost immediately... You have already lived there. Why are you looking forward to something as mundane as waking up in the same bed you've woken up in for years now?
Live in the end and stop hoping to shift. You're already there, direct your awareness towards the reality of your choosing, and let your pure consciousness do the rest. Act as if you're there. Think like your DR self, act like your DR self, talk and walk and eat like your DR self because they are you and you are them. There is no divide, no disconnect, no separation.
Happy shifting ❤️
You need to realise your desires are not far fetched, they aren’t even desires and were not desires the second you thought about them. They were yours the second you expressed a want for these things because for the millionth time, you’re the god of your reality and what you say goes.
Now when i say “let go”, im not referring to the fact that “you need to let go of the physical world” or “let go of your body” and bla bla bla, I mean you need to let go of the mentality that has been holding you hostage for quite a while
Having the perfect routine isn’t going to make a change unless you have mentally let go of this reality. Having affirmations that you repeat all the time won’t do shit if you don’t let go
Let go of the person who has tried everything and just can’t manage to tap in to the void/induce pure consciousness
Let go of the person who needs to check success stories just to feel something in order to motivate themselves
Let go of the person who likes doomscrolling for motivation when they would already be in their new reality if they tried
Let go of the person who is a failure
Let go of the person who has been trying for months/years to no avail
Let go of the person who needs to go to bloggers, coaches and outside sources and ask questions they damn well know the answer to
Let go of the person who just can’t
It can feel so validating to have these problems because so many people do, and you feel like you can relate to others with these issues and it makes you feel good, it makes you feel validated to reaffirm these problems and have others comfort and coddle you. I know you want advice, you’re frustrated and want to vent. I know you want people to talk to and cry with, because, again, it makes you feel seen and validated. But where is that feeling of validation gonna lead you? to 2026, 2027 even 2028, still saying the same things? still affirming that you’ve been in the community for years and nothing works for you?
You need to let go of that miserable person, you are “I AM” you need to take your consciousness and take your awareness away from that miserable person and shift them to the person who can tap into the “i am” state with ease
shift your awareness to someone who can induce pure consciousness within seconds
to someone who gets whatever they want
to someone who can do all
to someone who doesn’t know the meaning of failure even if it hit them in the face
if you don’t let go you’re never gonna leave, you need to sit with yourself and be honest, have you let go of the person with unfavourable circumstances? have you shifted awareness to the person who is all you want to be, better yet all that you are? You are “I AM”, just decide that you aren’t that person anymore and immediately your consciousness and awareness will shift to who you now are. You can BE anything because you ARE everything.
And as “I AM”, as a god, you can choose where to place your consciousness and where to place your awareness, that’s all shifting is, placing your awareness and consciousness in the reality that is desired, not some huge extravaganza. Shift your awareness to someone who can do all things, and that is who you will be, this law cannot fail.
misery loves company, don’t stay in the club simply because it validates and comforts you, remove yourself and place yourself in that of who you want to be.
hi love,
How did you induce pure consciousness xx
i know u guys love big stories -i love those things too- but im sorry i don’t have any
but i can try to make it seem bigger 4 u.
it was a sunny day
it was a normal day
at least i thought it was…
i make a brunch w my mom and then we go buy some groceries
did i mention it was a sunny day..
there was so much sweat blood and tears(i was on my period)
then we got home
i dayreamed while i study russian and math(tears again)
than i watched my fav show(supernatural)
and finally dinner time w my family 🎉🎉🎉🎉
i got dishes and go straight to my room
usually we have some tea after dinner
but i had cramps so i just go to bed w a pill
when i realized the pill worked i tried to sleep and get some rest
but i couldn’t so i thought i can do pinteresting🎀
i add some pins to my silly little boards(therapy)
then i saw a pin/tumblr post(wait im gonna try to find that)
after reading this pin, i remembered the posts i was readin on tumblr (b4dprincess’s posts)
then i opened tumblr and continued to read those
when i was done w reading i was like 👍 ok this is it
its my reality how hard can it be?
i put my phone down and take one deep breath
(oh noooo theres only 10gif/image allowed on mobile, i was havin fun aaaaa)
life saving emojiiiss
😮💨
and thats it
i did nothing but taking that one deep breath (physically)
i focused on everything but my body
i think about the dates i will have w him
i think about my house, neighborhood
i daydreamed my pets
the clothes
friends and the more i think about these things i was feeling closer
some point i felt like im levitating and drowning at the same time, this is the part i got scared but be cool abt it
affirmations ive said while being cool:
i am detached from any realities
i am here and there, everywhere and nowhere
i am everything and nothing
i am, i am, i am
i am nothing but my soul
i am beyond of any physical world
i am i am
i induced my pure consciousness within seconds
i am
i am
i am
i said ‘i am’ till i felt nothing
for a second i thought i didn’t make it but again be cool abt it (bc: dont let them know ur next move)
i felt ready and opened my eyes and finally i was there and just as i imagined i felt everything and nothing at the same time
it felt forever and not even a second at the same time
guys
it-was-awesome 👏🏻
(for the clarification: i didn’t mock w anything with all those gifs)
its just im trying to tell you, i mean u want a recipe but there isnt any
there’s nothing literally nothing to do for enterin your void
well theres one thing: relax.
just relax, you got this, stop overcomplicating it. its inside of you not in the space, not in the underground not in the air not in the fuckn atmosphere its within you, so you dont have to worry about anything because its there. its always there and it will always be there
stop searching for some magic key. because you are the key. you are the void you’re searching for.
i know, having a lot with your life and everything is hard and you have goals to achieve, moments to live
well good news
you can change this and you should because you deserve better
only you can change this
(i talk a lot and most of them are nonsense but i am right abt one thing, and that is, you deserve better. so act like it)
loves, siena.
shifttok is so obsessed with rationalizing shifting. literally everything they say is trying to justify why they didnt shift.
"i didnt shift last night because i just said affirmations and went to sleep" BITCH. people do that ALL THE TIME and they DO shift
"i didnt shift because i put my dr on a pedestal" people put their dream colleges on a pedestal. THEY STILL GO TO THOSE COLLEGES make it make sense
"i didnt shift because blah blah blah" bro.. you didnt shift because you're imposing these rules upon yourself that didnt exist in the first place.
think about it. you're jogging on a clear path at a nice pace, you know that you're gonna get to your destination soon. SUDDENLY you start putting down hurdles you have to jump over and holes that you have to avoid. does that make sense to you?
you can shift. everybody can shift. i spent literally 4 years trying to figure out how to shift when i already knew. fucking take a breather and just do what feels right.
the first time i shifted i turned on a sub and went to sleep. no affirmations, no method.
"i dont like doing affirmations, i get distracted." then dont! no one said u needed to
"i have trouble focusing on my method and i keep wandering off" then do that! just let go
you will shift because thats just what happens. this isnt some superpower. instead of searching for the key, realize that you are the key.
