METHODS —

everything you need to know about shifting methods :) remember that different methods will work better for different people. the MAIN KEY is that you’re taking care of yourself and having patience!! trust the process; you are more tyat capable of shifting! these methods will get you to your desired reality in no time! :) i recommend listening to subs, meditation audios, and guided meditations to help you!! remember to listen to subliminals throughout the day for better results and quicker progress.

THE RAVEN METHOD ;

one of the most popular methods i’ve seen. it’s a sleep method and requires steady concentration as well as lots of focus.

METHOD PROCESS: Lay down on your back in a starfish position (at least make sure that none of your limbs are touching). Once you’re as comfortable as you can get, feel yourself melt into the ground. Focus on your breathing and relaxing yourself; Fix your concentration on your DR. After you’ve gotten yourself into a calm and focused state of mind, start counting to 100 slowly. In between every number, give yourself affirmations and think of your DR. What will you feel once you’re in your DR? Who are your friends? How capable are you of shifting? Remind yourself that you’re strong and completely capable of shifting! Don’t focus so much on the present. Don’t worry so much about getting there, focus your energy on what it’ll feel/be like once you get there. Once you count to 100, keep giving yourself affirmations and start visualizing your DR as you fall asleep. Drift off as calm as possible. REMEMBER NOT TO MOVE AT ALL THE ENTIRE TIME :,) You should wake up in your DR/WR once you’re done!

MY EXPERIENCE: this method is the one i have gotten closest to!! it is the easiest to understand for me, (after i figured out that i had to fall asleep :,) ) but concentrating is really difficult for me since my mind wonders a lot. i typically use the raven method mixed with a different method to help me shift! :)

THE PILLOW METHOD ;

this method is the easiest to do, it just takes practice and full trust of the process. this is another sleeping method.

METHOD PROCESS: Write a script about your DR, or write out affirmations on a piece of paper and put it under your pillow. (If your script is on your phone, either write on a piece of paper “everything scripted on my phone will happen” or just leave your script open and your phone on) Once your script is set, lay down with your head on your pillow. You can lay in whatever position you feel most comfortable in! Make sure to focus on your breathing first; Maybe follow a guided meditation to keep yourself focused on your DR. After you’ve relaxed, fall asleep while visualizing different things in your DR and giving yourself affirmations! :) You’ll wake up in your DR/WR!

MY EXPERIENCE: i use this method very often. typically, i mix this method with the raven method and also make my own twist to it haha! as i’m falling asleep, what i’ll do is i’ll first list things in thankful for in my CR. after i’ve run out of things to list, i’ll start to list things im thankful for in my DR (sometimes while counting to 100). then as i’m falling asleep, i’ll visualize rooms in my DR and different scenes/scenarios that happen. i show a lot of symptoms when i use this method.

THE SUNNI METHOD ;

this method requires MAX concentration and a lot of visualization. it is a non sleeping method, and also fairly easy.

METHOD PROCESS: All you have to do is sit/lay down in a comfortable position. Focus on your breathing and close your eyes. Imagine your DR, and imagine your CR melting into your DR. What i mean by that is that you have to imagine and visualize different things in your room or about yourself shifting into your desired form. Anything you hear will become something in your DR. Anything you feel or sense around you will become something in your DR. Imagine what you’ll smell and start to feel that. What do you hear? How does that make you feel? What do you taste? What will you see when you open your eyes? Ground yourself in those desired things. Continue this process until you know you’re for sure in your desired reality! :)

MY EXPERIENCE: i’m not the best at visualizing, but i am getting better. i have had progress when mixing this method with the raven method/pillow method, but i have never tried it individually.

THE ESTELLE METHOD ;

this method is similar to the sunni method. it requires focus and visualization as well!

METHOD PROCESS: Lay/sit in a position that is comfortable for you. First focus on your breathing and let all your current worries fade away. After you’ve calmed yourself down, pick a song. This song can be anything you wish. Once you play the song, imagine yourself laying/sitting in a room in your DR and someone from your DR asking you to dance. Throughout the song, visualize yourself dancing with that person from your DR. Once the song ends, or loops, or goes to the next song, the person from your DR will hold out their hand and ask you if you want to go home now. Take their hand, and they’ll lead you to the door of that room in your DR. That person will open the door for you and behind the door will be a white light. Trust it, affirm yourself, and walk through the door. DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYES. While in this white void-like place, keep affirming yourself. You’re so close!! The time you’re in this white-lot area might be five minutes or twenty, but it doesn’t matter! You’ll get there! After a while, you’ll suddenly feel like you’re falling; Like the floor just went POOF! But don’t panic, this means you’re LITERALLY SO CLOSE!! Breathe and keep affirming yourself. After a while of falling, you should feel yourself land on the ground. All you should see is black. (This is the part where people open their eyes too quickly so be sure to be careful) Don’t open your eyes until you know for sure that you’re in your DR. Script that you taste or smell something once you land. You might have to fall asleep once you see black because everyone is different. Once you open your eyes/wake up, you’ll be in your DR!!

MY EXPERIENCE: i’ve only tried this method once or so, but again i’m not good at visualizing. i think i was so focused on IMAGINING the things happening instead of VISUALIZING. there’s a sliver of a difference between the two and i can’t seem to figure it out 👁👄👁

REASSURANCE :

shifting takes roughly 3-6months on average for someone to get, but so many people are breaking that norm. YOU are capable of shifting! you are SO close! you WILL shift, i promise you. i believe in each and every one of you! :) also, my friend who shifted told me that once you fall asleep during the methods, you should see a bright light and immediately shift the second you fall asleep. (it might be different for some people, but that might help you guys to feel more secure in what you’re doing. it helped me! :) )

(( let me know if there are any other methods that you guys want me to explain or if there’s anything you guys want help with! if you want me to post my script/a script template, i’d be more than happy to! :) happy shifting!! ))

Small Acts of Worship throughout the days

I don’t talk about my actual worship on my blog all too much. I don’t consider it the most important thing to share — I prefer making Information accessible. That’s always been my goal as academia can be a horrid beast and I myself am neurodivergent. 

When it comes to keeping a formalised weekly worship schedule: I can’t. However, attuning my worship to the celestial gods helped. Helios is my father figure and I know when he sets. The lunar calendar simply makes sense to me, so Selene guides my month. Eos is always there too, beginning the day. They help me keep track of time when I struggle with understanding the passage of time. 

Keeping track of the celestial siblings is one way I adapt my worship. The coming of Nyx in particular is what I keep in my mind.

When Helios sets, I try to give an offering to one of my many gods. It’s something small that keeps my day together and attuned to the day/night cycle. The small aspect is something I wish to stress — it’s usually a small libation with a quick prayer.  These small offerings keep my worship going in a decently consistent manner. It also works extremely well with the sheer amount of offerings I wish to give to the many, many gods I worship.

For example, these are small offerings I’ve given at sunset:

Water, juice, etc.

Fruits / flowers 

Other Foodstuffs 

Another good time as inspired by Hesiod’s works is to give an offering before going to sleep. Doing this provides structure and the ability to pray for a multitude of things. I know some who do this and pray to Hermes for good dreams, to Sleep (Hypnos) for good rest, etc. It’s also a great time to give offerings in general — I love giving offerings to Tins before bed.

Personally, I do this in particular for Dionysus. Every night I try to give an offering to him. My ambition relentless, I want to be a damn good devotee. Also it’s just something that is appreciated by both of us. I don’t ask for much before I sleep however — I usually just offer it and say thank you to Dionysus. He is most lovely.

There’s also the offerings I give at random. Nothing can stop me from randomly getting up, washing my hands, grabbing an offering and then just giving it. Worship anxiety that prevented me from doing this before has long since left. If you can, try to give a random offering. Just remember your own limits. Don’t force yourself to get up when you’re having a bad day with your chronic illness, for example. 

Another example is more small offerings at mealtime. Leaving a small portion of your food if you can is another small way to worship. This is historical. Leave out a small portion of your meal or even cooking ingredients if you can. When cooking, feel free to offer some olive oil to Athene, Hestia, the Agathos Daimon, etc. Small portions are good, small, and quick offerings.

Juice is a personal stable of my own praxis. I craft my own juice weekly from various fruits, berries, etc. My life would legitimately be drastically different without it (though that might be the Dionysus devotee in me talking). The ingredients I use will influence which god will get a cup of the newly-crafted juice. When I use pomegranate, a cup of the product goes to Hera. Pomegranate has been a small but important part of my relationship with Hera, so its a nice and small way for me to connect with her. I know this part of my praxis will definitely not fit with most, but I hope it is inspiring.

Giving small offerings at certain points is beneficial to my praxis, especially with my relationship to Helios that makes me particularly aware of the oncoming sunset. Offerings don’t have to be a big, fantastical event. Just do it and give them a small libation or two. Offering at random points isn’t bad. It’s a good system and find what works best for you. 

Study is an important praxis of my and other’s praxis. Sometimes all you can do is read. When offerings get hard, research is all you can do. This isn’t applicable to everyone — but it’s an important part of many people’s praxis. When I get slapped with depression or my other mental problems get bad, there’s always a pdf there for me to read. Personally, I don’t need a screen reader but I’ve seen those used to help others.

Ultimately, take charge and don’t let anything stop you. I have learned that pressuring yourself and negatively comparing yourself to others is counterproductive and taking charge is the way to go. Find methods that allow you to succeed and run with them. You will do amazing.

Todoroki tells Midoriya some hard truths. A B99 redraw.

I don't want this body anymore.

I want a new one.

One that only moves when I tell it to.

I don’t know who is more aggressively bi-sexual is it ‘Harry all boys are handsome Potter’ or is it Ginny literally in love with Luna Lovegood Weasley ?? 

How could anyone ever mistake these two bi messes for being straight??

Well he’s not my type but he’ll do.

Tourettes is a sliding scale

One day you can have very few tics and complete minor tasks with little to no struggle.

The next day you could be incapable of walking up a flight of stairs, holding a drink, cutting food, typing on a keyboard, putting on clothes, driving a car, showering, and unable to breathe normally for extended periods of time.

How it feels to hold in tics while drinking
