Jacob's Dream, William Blake, Punarvasu moon

For further insights into the cosmic function of punarvasu and Aditi

I will be quoting an excerpt from 'DIVINE HORSEMEN: THE LIVING GODS OF HAITI' — MAYA DEREN

Here, I liken the haitian goddess Erzulie to the vedic Aditi as they represent the same archetype and symbolism

"Myth is the facts of the mind made manifest in a fiction of matter." — maya deren, punarvasu ketu (below)

Erzulie: Goddess — The Tragic Mistress

Voudoun has given woman, in the figure of Erzulie, exclusive title to that which distinguishes humans from all other forms: their capacity to conceive beyond reality, to desire beyond adequacy, to create beyond need. In Erzulie, Voudoun salutes woman as Divinity of the dream, the Goddess of Love, the muse of beauty.

It has denied her emphasis as mother of life and of men in order to regard her (like Mary, with whom Erzulie is identified) as mother of man's myth of life — its meaning. In a sense, she is that very principle by which man conceives and creates divinity.

Thus, to man himself, she is as mistress.

𑁍

Erzulie moves in an atmosphere of infinite luxury, a perfume of refinement, which, from the first moment of her arrival, pervades the very air of the peristyle, and becomes a general expansiveness in which all anxieties, all urgencies vanish.

The tempo of movements becomes more leisurely, tensions dissolve and the voices soften, losing whatever aggressive or strident tones they may have had. One has the impression that a fresh, cooling breeze has sprung up somewhere and that the heat has become less intense, less oppressive.

𑁍

She is provided with a fresh white or rose silk handkerchief which she arranges carefully around her hair.

Perfume is imperative, and there may be powder as well. A white or rose dress of delicate cloth, with lace or embroidery, has been keps in readiness for her. And, finally, she is brought not one necklace, but several, of gold and pearls, along with earrings and bracelets and her three wedding bands.

The careful, unhurried accumulation of costume is an act which, step by step, rejects the primitive, the "natural condition", and, step by careful step, instructs the fortunate attendants in the idea of beauty, the sense of form, and, above all, the cumulative painstaking process by which a work of man — be it art or myth — is created.

The Goddess examines each article minutely; where alternative choice exists, her considered selection, her indecision are very pointed; each effect is critically scrutinized, often rejected and rearranged. The very process of this creative transformation becomes so significant that whether it is a large audience or a small family who await her, or how long they may have to wait, ceases to be of any consequence.

What is of consequence is the act itself, and the demonstration of the fact that such an act can transfigure the female into the feminine.

Her voice is a delicate soprano; her every gesture, movement of eyes, and smile, is a masterpiece of beguiling coquetry; with her, human relationship becomes itself significant rather than merely a means to an end.

She may visit her altar chamber and be pleased that the flowers are fresh, for flowers are her passion.

She may ask for a favorite song, for she loves to dance and is the most graceful of all loa; or she may simply give audience to her admirers, and by her postures and attitudes transform the crude chair in which she sits into a throne.

Above all, she favors desserts, decorated cakes and confections of all kinds. Or, if she has arrived on an impromptu visit, she may be content with a sip of the crême de menthe or the champagne which, theoretically, should always be ready for her appearance.

𑁍

As Lady of Luxury, she gives gifts constantly;

her own perfume, the handkerchief she wears, the food and money which she distributes generously.

She particularly rewards those who are handsome, or who dance well, or whose personality pleases her. She never neglects one who is devoted to her.

𑁍

an altar to maîtresse erzulie, mistress erzulie, metres elizi freda

As Lady of Luxury she is, above all, Goddess of Love, that human luxury of the heart which is not essential to the purely physical generation of the body. She is as lavish with that love as she is generous with her gifts. She treats men with such demonstrative affection that it might seem, at times, embarrassing. She will embrace them, and kiss them, caress them, sit with an arm around those to both sides of her.

Nothing is meted out or budgeted, there is more than enough; this is her way of loving, this is the divine fecundity of the heart. A heart is, indeed, her symbol, most often the pierced heart identified with Mary.

She, who is the wealthiest of the loa, the most frequently gifted with luxurious accoutrement, suffers for not being "served" enough.

She, who is the most complimented, most beloved, most often wedded in the sacred marriage of devotee and divinity — she who is Goddess of Love — protests that she is not loved enough."

Inevitably then – she begins to weep. Tenderly they would comfort her, bringing forward still another cake, another jewel, pledging still another promise. But it would seem that nothing in this world would ever, could ever, answer those tears. It is because of these tears that the women, who might otherwise resent her, are so gentle. In their real, reasonable world there is no grief like this.

this weeping is so inaccessible to reason that one thinks, inevitably, of a child's innocence of reason. It is this sense of innocence which emanates from her that makes her identification with the Virgin Mary somehow seem truer than her promiscuity, than even the fact that the devotion of prostitutes makes of her almost their patron saint.

lana del rey, punarvasu mercury

She is the divinity of the dream, and it is in the very nature of dream to begin where reality ends and to spin it and to send it forward in space, as the spider spins and sends forward its own thread.

The labor of Erzulie is as endless as the capacity of man to dream and, in the very act of accomplishing that dream, to have already dreamed again. It is upon this diminutive feminine figure that man has placed the burden of the most divine paradox — He has conceived her without satisfactions, without balance, to insure an overwhelming balance against his own satisfactions. This is the meaning of the merciless muse, the most unhappy Medusa.

Erzulie is the loa of the impossible perfection which must remain unattainable. Man demands that she demand of him beyond his capacity. The condition of her divinity is his failure; he crowns her with his own betrayals. Hence she must weep; it could not be otherwise.

The wound of Erzulie is perpetual: she is the dream impaled eternally upon the cosmic cross/roads where the world of men and the world of divinity meet, and it is through her pierced heart that "man ascends and the gods descend".

Joy and woe are woven fine,

A clothing for the soul divine;

Under every grief and pine

Runs a joy with silken twine.

It is right it should be so;

Man was made for joy and woe;

And when this we rightly know,

Safely through the world we go.

— William Blake, punarvasu moon, "Auguries of Innocence" (1863)

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."

— William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" (1790)

Lana del rey has mercury in punarvasu, and her music had a very fantastic, ethereal feel that almost lulls you into a dream-like state.

Her lyrics often reflect punarvasu themes of dreams, fantasy, sorrow, heart-ache, luxury, excess, affection

lyrics to lana's 'video games'

I say, "You the bestest" / Lean in for a big kiss / Put his favourite perfume on

It's you, it's you, it's all for you / Everything I do / I tell you all the time / Heaven is a place on earth with you

They say that the world was built for two / Only worth living if somebody is loving you

lyrics to 'honeymoon'

There are violets in your eyes / There are guns that blaze around you / There are roses in between my thighs / And fire that surrounds you

It's no wonder every man in town / Had neither fought nor found you / Everything you do is elusive / To even your honey dew

our honeymoon / Dreaming away your life

success story!!!!

OMG SALEM SALEM SALEM, U AND UR WISDOM LITERALLY SAVED ME

idk if you're going to see this because you don't seem as active anymore but i literally revised my entire school life thanks to you!! this is like the first really huge thing i manifested (even though there's no such thing as big lol but you get what | mean)

this success story is gonna be superrrr long but it’s worth it i promise!!

For context im from the UK, and in the last 2 years of school is called a sixth form or called a college (16-18) and you can either transfer schools or stay in the one you were already in for 5 years.

I decided to move (like 80% of the people in my year/grade 💀)  i wanted change and to meet new people, but my entire friend group and so many people i love stayed in my old school.

I found out the grass wasn’t greener on the other side and let’s just say i really did not like the change, i felt fomo from my friend group and all of them expressed how deeply they missed me and how much i should’ve stayed and so i started to feel regret. 

And if you’ve ever felt regret to a significant amount, you know it’s the worst feeling you can ever feel, it’s like your insides are twisting, it’s like beating yourself up over and over again. And it got really bad. It lead me to a deep depression where i barely focused on my studies, and it showed with recent test scores. But I read your post and so many others and realised: i’m not stuck, and never will be, I can go back if i wanted. And so that’s what I did

No one really speaks about revision, not as much as i’d like as someone who now owes revision her life lol, so i was a bit nervous and super doubtful, but i looked at revision success stories and told my self if someone can revive someone back from the dead, someone can revise a serious diagnosis and another can change their age, you can revise the fact that you ever moved. 

I really hung on to your posts that drilled it into our heads that it’s already done and there’s nothing to do. And tellafairy’s posts about how we can change our lives from the comfort of our own beds. Even in my darkest moments i repeated that mantra and it calmed me down. 

I wanted to use the void but realised i probably would’ve have put it on a pedestal and most likely would’ve gotten so hung up on it, so decided to use SATs and choose the reality where i never moved schools and school life was so perfect.

I fell asleep on the first few nights, but then one particular night, i felt really fulfilled and floaty so I just kept visualising a day at school with my friends. AND I SWEAR TO WHOEVERS UP THERE I WOKE UP AND I FELT LIKE SOMETHING SHIFTED, LIKE I REGAINED ALL THESE MEMORIES

I LOOKED AT MY PHONE AND MY SCHOOL EMAIL WAS MY OLD ONE WITH ALL OF MY OLD TEACHERS AND I WENT TO SCHOOL IT WAS LIKE I WAS ALWAYS THERE AND NEVER LEFT

it felt weird when i woke up, like i felt a change, but it felt like i was supposed to be here, like i was at peace with what happened. 

I also used blanket affirming and manifested some things on the side too:

appearance changes

being sooo good at school

school rules being more lenient

change in subjects and more new friends

a school fine shyt Imao

more money +desired family

I really wanna thank you and and @tellafairy @itsrlymine @pineapplepr1nc3ss888 @scentedpeachlandcreator @sugarplumfairy777 @catherineaboutlife @authenticbunni @empyrealoasis @joc3lynn+ youtubers Rita Kaminski, Sammy Ingram and a youtuber called The Power of I AM (he’s sooo underrated but a literal gem) ik at the end of the day it was all me BUT THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY I AM WITH MY LIFE RN

If you’ve made it this far, please i’m telling you don’t give up, I was at the lowest of low, like seriously i didn’t even know if i wanted to be here, remember this: you are not stuck , you can manifest absolutely anything, yes, even that thing that seems impossible, and please remember that revision is real and it’s not only for small things like erasing an embarrassing memory or something, you can use it to change the trajectory of your life and i can swear by that as you can see!

you are so powerful you can change the past, please believe me when i say you shouldn’t give up, trust me if i, a D1 procrastinator, someone who was a super doubtful person can do this YOU CAN TOO AND I CAN PROMISE THAT.

it's already done, think as if you have it, and for those who are going through a lot mentally, you. are. not. stuck. that's something i had to remind myself. you can change anything and everything instantly and at any point in time, these circumstances aren't your home.

you don’t have to be a passenger of life, you are the author and creator, please remember that if anything.

i love you so much sai okay byeeeeeee 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

i was lurking through my asks for post ideas and oh my lord. i think this is one my favourite success stories, like ever. I rarely answer asks due to repetitive nature but i had to share this success story

YOU FUCKING DID THAT BABY!!!!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU AND IM SO HAPPY YOU’RE HAPPY 💘💘💘

i honestly love a massive revision story because these just show how powerful we are and how nothing is real except the now. and we REALLY CAN change ANYTHING

please please please listen to anon and keep going and and listen to them when they say you aren’t stuck, think as if. there is no such thing as failure.

you can change your life with loa. mark my words

How I used Psych-k to reprogram my limiting beliefs 

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ·┈ · ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ꒱꒱

What is Psych-k?

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Psych-k is a process which changes subconscious beliefs that limits a person’s potential. It involves reshaping your beliefs into thoughts that can positively impact your life. 

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ This relates to manifestation because psych-k can help you identify limiting beliefs and reprogram these into thoughts that will benefit you. 

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ·┈ · ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ꒱꒱

Affirmations I used

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Some of the affirmations that I’ve used include:

I let go of every limiting belief I have that no longer serves me 

I let go of every doubt I have that no longer serves me 

I do not identify with struggle anymore 

I’m allowed to believe new things about myself now 

Circumstances don’t matter to me, I’ll still manifest anything I want 

I manifest instantly 

͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ I do want to mention that a few of these affirmations came from @princessaffirms's why are you DEFENDING your LIMITING beliefs post. It's really insightful and I do recommend reading this if you want more information about limiting beliefs.

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ·┈ · ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ─ ·┈ ꒱꒱

My personal experience

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ First and foremost, before we go into the psych-k sessions and what to expect, I really recommend you do a test to see where you fall. 

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ There is many different tests you could do, but me personally I have done the o-ring test. Basically, you form a “O” with your thumb and the other finger, you should use your non-dominant hand with this. Then you would form a ring with your dominant hand and gently pull on the “O-ring.” Then say a limiting belief that you have out loud and do the test.

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Here’s a video that details this -> ☕️

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ If it’s a strong response, the ring would not break apart. However, a weak response means the ring would break apart. If you produced a weak response, do this test again and ask your subconscious mind if you can integrate a new belief into them. If you have a weak response, I recommend you write it out using a journal or any writing program like Google Docs or Notes app. Basically with how I did it, I would write down a limiting belief but then I would provide a counterargument for that limiting belief.

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Here's an example: "Manifesting takes forever for me." -> "Manifesting is instant for me."

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Then I would write down all of my limiting beliefs and provide counterarguments for each one. Afterwards, I would do the test again and ask your subconscious mind if you can integrate a new belief. If you get a weak response, keep going and write out limiting beliefs that you have. If you have a strong response, you can test proceed to the session.

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ Now here's how I approach my psych-k sessions. First, I would create affirmations that I can use, these affirmations will basically be what you use during your sessions. Then I would record these affirmations using the Parrot app. Although I primarily use the Parrot app, you can also say these affirmations out loud. Then afterwards, I would find somewhere that is calm and you know there wouldn't be any distractions. Next, establish a position you would use, I personally did this position (here) but I crossed my legs instead of my ankles. I would want to add that you should do all 4 combinations to reach all the different parts of the brain. Then set a time limit, I personally reach for 5 minutes per combination but you can do more than that if you choose. Then after setting a time limit, I would start the session, whether that's looping your affirmations on Parrot or say them out loud.

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ After the session, I would do the O-ring test and move on with your day. Now even with one session, you can produce a strong response, but you can do more sessions to solidify your beliefs if you choose to.

  ͏˚˖𓍢ִ໋☕️ In my experience, after doing this, I noticed that manifestation wasn't a struggle for me anymore. I allowed myself to integrate this new belief into my subconscious mind and ever since I have gotten amazing results. So, please if you want to reprogram your beliefs, try this out and you will never look back!

The minute I began my journalism path, I started seeing my phone as a self-defence weapon.

Whenever a man approaches me and seems sus—my hand goes straight on the phone. I pretend to text or scroll, but best believe my camera is on.

That way I once filmed a creepy man who followed me home. He saw I was filming and got mad, yes, but if someone does something to me—I better have proof. Thankfully nothing happened, but now I hold the power to share that video in the media, to show the predator to those around me.

Here’s the “sneaky” clip of him:

RECORD ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN WHEN YOU GET INTO SUCH SITUATIONS. VOICE, PICTURES, VIDEOS.

If no one is on your side, publicity can be. Collect the evidence even if you may not need it. Be sneaky, take pictures or videos openly or secretly (like start filming on your phone and put it in your pocket). Don't freeze—think fast to collect anything that could be proof.

Why Tara Bala is Especially Powerful in one’s own Chart on the Angles

As I have discussed in my previous posts, planets in cardinal houses 1, 4, 7 and 10 have the most visibility in one’s chart, especially if we judge a person not by their internal world, but just on the premise of their actions and external appearance.

I have also discussed Tara Bala, and how planets in the “enemy” or “friend/best friend” Tara Bala position can be detrimental or helpful to one’s life. That effect becomes particularly prominent, if the planet involved resides on the angles.

Case in Point: A singer, whose very significant chart planet is Venus in Vishakha in the 1st house. Any planet in the 1st house becomes an integral part of one’s personality, so that planet in Vishakha Nakshatra will be in the front and center of the person’s identity, even though it’s not a luminary. However, the person has Moon in Shravana in the 4th house, also on the angle. Shravana is Vishakha’s worst enemy, and thus detrimental to one’s expression, if one shares both of these Nakshatras in their own chart. So the person here is going to have trouble expressing the nature of their 1st house planet because of the nature of their basic consciousness, that the Moon represents, and it’s going to be visible to others.

The external reflection was visible in this singer’s public appearances, where she fluctuates very strongly between a more tame “girl next door”, even neglected, public persona (which some of her viewers have criticized heavily), and her alternative artistic personality, when she puts in more effort during photo shoots. On the same note, there have been fans who have criticized her behavior and appearance even during performances. Charisma and performance is a Vishakha theme, but Shravana is more domestic and feminine, and some people have made derogatory comments about her behaving and looking like a “grandmother” on stage. That’s because the wise crone of Shravana doesn’t mesh well with the more Jupiterian creative display of Vishakha.

What to do if you have the same issue in your chart? Make sure you satisfy both of those parts of your personality, but don’t mix them. Compartmentalize these sides of yourself with full love and awareness, and realize mixing some things is just a bad idea, like putting a bathroom in the kitchen, but that doesn’t mean both elements aren’t necessary in your life. That will come more naturally to people, who even with this Tara Bala have the enemy Tara Bala planet in more hidden houses (like 8th or 12th), as they will be more public with one planet over the other, and that compartmentalization will be natural.

To use the singer in question as an example, I would advise her to separate her public and private life, wear and do whatever she wants during her spare time, which shouldn’t be that hard because she’s a minor European celebrity, but make sure she always shows up strictly in her Vishakha energy when she does anything remotely public or posts it on social media. It will have to be a very strong, creative public act and take hard work, but otherwise something will always be awkward in self presentation of such a person.

I see

A lot of people talking about mars nakshatra but one thing about them is they care too much. LIKE TOO MUCH about everything and anything they human or humanly possible, which gets made fun of or dogged at but it’s truly a wonderful and good thing. Shows we are alive. They will literally cry with, for you and because of you. They are not as conniving naturally but are smart thru self preservation. Underneath all the battle warrior is a very soft sensitive being. They don't know how to but would benefit from emotional contention, from others. They really look for connection but don’t really know how, its kind of rowdy messy or all over. They are more (probably) emotional than moon nakshtaras

swear to God that i get accused and harassed just for caring and being passionate about people places and things. Like if you are about the truth your enemy #1.

They deal with alot mental health issues, well i notice alot of other nakshtaras do. But they want to be loved and notice/taken into account because they really do feel and experience life lowly until they rise. They get very immersed in Maya and their senses. They can’t be detached like Saturn, Sun or Ketu or attached for benefit like Venus, Moon, Mercury or Rahu. They kind of just attached because they can or feel the need to. They may not be as ”giving” but thats why they benefit from relationships with Jupiter or Venus (if Venus wants to) where they kind of learn from, Sun too maybe.

Literally me:

SOME* OF YA'LL ARE NEVER GOING TO GET YOUR DESIRES, AND YOU'LL HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELVES

*WARNING: TOUGH LOVE RANT. also, like everything in life, take what resonates with you and leave the rest. if you're not doing anything i mention in this post, then this post doesn't apply to you.

before anyone comes for me, MOST of us are going through (or have gone through) hard circumstances. many of us have come from abusive households, abusive relationships, poverty, homelessness, & just overall bad circumstances.

but you know why the bloggers & anons who succeed in manifesting their desires/desired lives ACTUALLY SUCCEED?

because they took accountability for their current state and their limiting patterns.

because they were disciplined & determined enough to claim their desire(s), apply the law, & persist regardless of EVERYTHING.

because they knew that this practice would actually change their lives forever and allowed NOTHING to stand in their way.

AND GUESS WHAT? NOW THEY HAVE THEIR DESIRES/DESIRED LIFE!

if you were to be 100% honest and tell me why after months/years of being in this community you STILL haven't manifested your desires/desired life yet, what would be the answer?

overconsumption? procrastination? laziness? lack of persistence?

whatever the case may be, what i do know for a FACT is that it has been no one's fault but YOURS.

many of you guys come running on this platform; asking the same repetitive questions, complaining about not seeing results, whining about how sad your life is and how hard your circumstances are, or just straight up hating on some of these bloggers that are helping you FOR FREE, when they could be using that time to enjoy their desires/the life that they manifested for themselves.

LIKE...DO YOU REALIZE HOW PATHETIC & ENTITLED SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE?

"can you pleaseee manifest/tap into the void for me?" 🥺

"im so lazyyy, i can't be bothered to persist..." 🥱

"loa is FAKE! you guys are a bunch of lying b***hes..." 🤬

"my life is sooo hard, i have such a horrible life...*continues to trauma dump*" 😭

OHHH MYYY F*CKINGGG GODDD!

there are MILLIONS of people in the world who are in unfavorable/horrible circumstances that have NO IDEA what the law of assumption is, and have NO WAY to access this type of information!

you guys literally have the knowledge and awareness to make the most beautiful life possible for yourselves with JUST YOUR IMAGINATION, and yet, A LOT of you guys are the most ungrateful, lazy, irresolute, undisciplined whiners, who don't want to do even the BARE MINIMUM to change your entire lives!!

TRUST ME, everyone on this platform (including myself) understands that there will be setbacks. we all know that they are going to be bad days. we all understand that everyone has their own personal/mental issues. we get that life has obstacles and that not every day will be a win.

BUT, you guys NEED to put in the effort & not give up! you guys NEED to STOP letting your ego win! you guys NEED to get tf off of social media and stop overconsuming information. you guys NEED to claim your desires/desired life, stay consistent & persist until your desires/desired life has materialized.

because guess what, a day turns into a year pretty quickly, and you'll have gone another year of NOT having your desires/desired life, and it's going to be no one's fault but yourself...

do you REALLY want another year of watching everyone else get what they want besides you? do you REALLY want another year of not having your desired appearance, your sp, or financial freedom?

REALLY?

i hope the answer is no...because that's a HUGE waste of time that could be used to actually have the things & life you want.

everyone deserves to live the life they want...but at the end of the day, no one & nothing has the power to manifest the life you want but YOU.

Men have the nerve to ask ‘why do you hate us?’ as if the list isn’t miles long. Every single inconvenience in my life? A man caused it. Every woman suffering right now? A man is behind it. Every historical tragedy? Guess what. But sure, let’s pretend we’re being ‘too harsh.’

William Blake, A Vision of the Last Judgment

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 ❤️
