Setting Intention (for Shifting), A Rundown

setting intention (for shifting), a rundown

what is setting intention?

setting intention is telling yourself you will do something. essentially making a plan to carry out a specific action. for example, maybe before class i want to buy a coffee. so when i go to bed the day before, i say to myself "oh tommorow i'll buy a coffee before my class". and the next day before class, i have that reminder in the back of my head — to get coffee, and so i carry it out, and get coffee before class.

to put it another way: let's say youre invited to a party. the party is a few days away, but throughout the days leading up to the party — you buy a gift for the party host, you pick out an outfit to wear, you do your makeup the day of the party, etc etc. by doint all of that; you're setting the intention to attend the party for days leading up to it.

setting intention isn't complicated, we do it 24/7 without realizing. when you say you're going to do something, even something as simple as brushing ur teeth or showering — and then you do it, you're setting intention and carrying it out.

so, how do you set the intention to reality shift?

surely if you could just walk into your dr the same way you can walk into your bathroom and brush your teeth, you would do it right? well... you literally can, a lot of you have just been taught otherwise.

in the beginning of your shifting journey, im sure you heard about the raven method or something similar. im sure creators have told you "you must lay in starfish position and count to 100 or else it won't work". and while methods within themselves aren't necessarily bad or holding you back — the way you complete the method and view it, is.

i think a lot of you go into methods, thinking that completing the steps will make you shift, when really — it's the intention of the method outcome that gets you what you want.

put it this way: when you count to 100, say ur affirmations, etc. are you doing it with the intention to shift once the task is completed? or are you doing it thinking that counting will push you into your dr?

setting intention = something you plan to do. not something you might do, not a possible outcome, something you have a set plan to complete/achieve. saying affirmations or counting with the HOPE of it MAKING you shift, sounds pretty useless — because you're not actually planning to do it. you're not being stubborn enough. youre not persistent, you're simply hoping that when you say 100 you'll shift. but you need to KNOW it will. (if that's the method ur using.. this is just an example)

once again, put it this way: when i say "im going to get coffee after class". would it make sense for me to sit there and hope i go and get a coffee? girl what? no, of course not. im the one who has to make the decision, to get up and go and get the coffee. you're the one who has to make the decision you will shift and persist in it no matter what. intention has to be there no matter what.

to put it into a loa perspective for those manifesting they shift with ease, when you manifest something — you also intend. you think of a desire you want, you intend to manifest it, and then you carry out that intention by persisting in the belief that it is yours. see how simple the concept is?

so, how do you practice setting intention? how do you know you're actually intending?

now, this next part sounds like a process, and it usually is. most people spread reprogramming your mind out between a couple days, maybe even a week. but do not attack me for this.. you guys always complain you've been trying to shift for years! you constantly ask me for challenges or tips on how to shift/reprogram ur brain. so if a few days of this seems like too much work, don't do it. i'm not saying you have to. but remember youve spent so many years *hoping* you'll shift. what's a few more days reprogramming ur mind to work in your favour and in the end, *know* you will shift?  

i can't lie or sugar coat it, a lot of you are still in this 2020 shifting mindset where everything is over complicated. but you need to remember these circumstances don't matter, your mind,life,beliefs,etc can always be altered to benefit you. and that's what my goal with telling you this is, to help you take those steps into actually believing.

practice intention by focusing on your everyday actions before carrying them out. for example, before you shower — affirm "im going to shower" a few minutes before you actually do. just like how your subconscious manifests things by accepting repeated thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions as true. When you consistently repeat basic intentions like “I’m going to shower,” you’re training your subconscious to respond automatically to your commands. this builds trust between your conscious and subconscious mind, making it easier for your subconscious to accept things you've been taught to view as hard or unrealistic (such as reality shifting). This practice strengthens your ability to shift because it reinforces the idea that what you say or assume will happen naturally. 

another strong intention i would recommend practicing to train your mind (and convince yourself you actually have the power to do these things) is intending to wake up at a certain time. for example, before u go to bed, and/or throughout the day : affirm "i will wake up at 5am tomorrow" or similar affirmations.

now, once you feel confident in your understanding of intention — simply use it the same way you did everything else. when you're ready to shift, set the intention. affirm: i will wake up in my dr, i will shift, or similar affirmations that align with YOUR intention. decide that you WILL shift, domt hope dont wish dont "try". KNOW you WILL do it no ifs ands or buts.

what do i do if i don't actually shift after setting the intention tho?

i know this question will be asked so im answering it before u have the chance to say it 🤣 but all i'll say is going back to the coffee analogy; if i wake up and set the intention to get coffee, but i go and they're all sold out. should i decide im never going to go to that coffee shop ever again? should i think the café is never ever gonna sell coffee again? no... that would be silly. so why would anyone do the same for shifting? sure it might be frustrating that they don't have the coffee since you decided you were going to get it. but once you go the next day, or maybe 2 days later, and they're no longer sold out. you get the coffee — and your frustration has passed. you don't erase the concept of coffee, you simply go again.

p.s. im writing this very quick in the car, so i apologize if there's spelling mistakes! please correct me if necessary

My advice as someone who has shifted many times

Got some really sweet comments on my last post, and I decided I should probably get myself over my fear of posting here. I just love everyone in this community, you're all family to me💚

First, and most importantly, coffee:

My Advice As Someone Who Has Shifted Many Times

When I posted my introduction here, a couple of months ago, I felt like I was already quite an experienced shifter. 4 kids, the most amazing husband, a life outside of this reality longer than I lived within it.

Looking back on it now, more than 500 years later, 3 more kids, 4 grandchildren, I was almost like a baby still, and even at this moment in time, I feel like I'm only at the start of my journey.

However, for the people that know my tiktok account, I have shifted to a lot of places by now. Experienced immortality as a human, as a deity, I've seen different cultures practice shifting, and taught shifting to every single one of me and my husband's children.

My main purpose in coming back here, is to help others achieve what I finally managed after years of trying. I want you all to pursue your dreams, and find the infinite happiness you so deserve.

So here is some advice:

Shifting itself is extremely simple. You want something, you get it. The concept of the reality that we're in doesn't allow for instant 'manifestations', but that doesn't mean you can't do it. It just means that, this reality by itself, doesn't have the rule of ''you desire something = you get it.'' That's where humans came up with the term ''manifestation,'' but it's simple really; you persist in wanting something, so you shift somewhere you have it. How easy that is can depend on the person, but every single one is capable of doing it, it's not technically any more difficult.

There are realities out there where, ''you want something'' does equal ''you get it,'' the term manifestation wouldn't even exist in those places, it's just as natural as it is for you here to feel as though you struggle attracting your desires.

I do not want to be rude to anyone, but there is no key to shifting. Anyone claiming they have the method to shift, or know the key to it, is overcomplicating it. Shifting is shifting, you don't need anything for it. Just existing, being aware, that's all you need to shift. HOW you do it, depends on the person. Assumptions, methods, intention, they're all tools to help you, but they're not the key.

You can shift while showering, while taking a dump, you can jump in the air and yell ''Yippie!!!'' to shift if you would believe that it works. An actual method? A joke method? There's no difference between them. The only real difference? You assume one to work, and one to not do anything, and that's where our limited mindsets are created.

I've seen so many different groups by now. People that shifted through meditation, through rituals, a group that would quite literally dive into a lake that they saw as magic, but also people that simply just, decided they wanted it, and shifted seconds later. They were raised with those beliefs, so they work for them.

And you here? You're raised in a society that tells you that you have to work for what you want, that a dream life is impossible, nothing is for free. And then you wonder why you struggle with shifting, why it's so hard to believe that you can do something so incredibly simple. Your struggles are valid, it is not your fault.

As an awareness you're so much more than the 3d, you're so much more than the body or brain you're aware of. You're simply a guest in this body, until it expires or you choose yourself to move on, but that doesn't take away that while you're here, you have to deal with your experiences, memories, and taught mindsets from this place.

That's why, the biggest advice I can give you, is to listen to yourself. Not society, not other people, no one who tries to tell you that they know ''the way.'' If someone's method aligns with you, that is amazing, and definitely put it to practice. But don't force yourself to go through methods and practices that don't feel right for you. If you dread doing it, it's not for you. Find something fun, something that fits your routines and beliefs.

Remember that time has no meaning. 5 days, 5 months, it's not going to matter in 3000 years. Literally nothing can stop your existence, nothing that could happen to you in this reality can ever stop you from existing.

There is no pressure, eternity is waiting for you, be kind to yourself. You are exactly where you're meant to be. It doesn't matter how you shift, so don't make it a chore. Script, create scenarios, daydream, make up your own rituals or find the most fun ways to set intention. You don't need hour long methods of counting, starfish positions and difficult affirmations. Your desires are already heard, your subconscious already knows where you want to go, so enjoy the ride until you get there💚

hey guess what. no one deserves to shift. not you, not me, not anyone. no one deserves it.

because it's not something that you can deserve in the first place!!! it's just a thing that you can do. it's a neutral thing. there's no built-in morality system connected with shifting. you don't need to worry about being a good enough person, you don't need to worry about the things you hate about yourself, you don't need to feel like you're worthy of living your dream life because shifting doesn't require you to deserve it!

to say that you "don't deserve to shift" is like saying you don't deserve to experience emotions, you don't deserve to process food in your digestive system, you don't deserve to have fingernails, you don't deserve to have synapse connections, you don't deserve to experience consciousness, etcetera

these are all morally neutral things and so is shifting

and i'm not saying this to demotivate anyone, let me make that very clear, i'm sure you do deserve to shift, but like even if you didn't then that wouldn't stop you from being able to. some people on this planet don't deserve to breathe and yet here they are clogging our air with the co2 they exhale, because breath itself doesn't have any morality!! and neither does shifting!!

"i don't deserve to shift 😔" i'm not even going to try and persuade you that you do because it literally doesn't even matter anyway. the worst person in the world is just as capable of shifting as the best. it's neutral.

let's talk about negative thoughts + doubts and why it's an optional experience

Let's Talk About Negative Thoughts + Doubts And Why It's An Optional Experience

have you ever set the intention to manifest or shift and got hit with a million different doubt-filled thoughts? "this isn't possible. i'm not strong or powerful. have i done my methods enough?"

i've been there. i know how it feels. the negative thoughts pounding against your skull so powerfully that it causes you to get a splintering headache and almost brings you to tears. it seems to be a common experience. a rite of passage if you will, but what if i told you that it doesn't have to be so difficult. that you can silence those thoughts and begin to rarely experience them, if at all, by doing something so simple.

you might want to dismiss my claim and tell me i don't know what i'm talking about but that's the problem. you expect to have negative thoughts and doubts because you believe it to be something that everyone must go through.

i was a victim to this kind of thinking too. in january of this year, i set my eyes on something and decided to manifest it. before i knew it i started having very bad thoughts surrounding the manifestation. it was draining but i persisted, i didn't let it get to me. i thought that i was so powerful for resisting the urge to succumb. i expected the thoughts to intensify because i believed it to be a sign that my persisting was working (so many issues with this kind of thinking but do you see the problem?)

while trying to manifest a desire, i actually ended up manifesting doubts because i believed it had to be this way. i saw no other option, i decided that this was my fate, i saw it as a sign.

this doesn't promote longevity. it was the source of my downfall and i can't blame myself for giving up because my god it is so draining to deal with thoughts like this. every second of the day i would be fighting off these bad thoughts, doubting my every move. so naturally this was the beginning of the end and i broke down. like i said before i literally gave up. i started crying and felt like this couldn't be the only way to exist. i was so used to hearing manifestation coaches and teachers say that this experience was normal and should be expected to the point i manifested it. after this breakdown i decided to sit and ask myself for the answer, without ego. this is what i received word for word:

"thoughts do not matter but do not expect them to pester you. leave them behind when you shift realities (decide/manifest)"

i felt so free after hearing that. the truth is i didn't try to get rid of the thoughts. i just released the belief that i had to have this experience with a deep sigh and that was it. after that i didn't even notice that the thoughts stopped until i went back to read what i channeled. it was simple and instant. it's now february and i can confirm that i rarely have bad thoughts surrounding manifesting and if they do appear they are so silent that i usually just gloss over it because it's so miniscule!

now let me summarize and simplify everything for you!

the only reason why you are having such intense negative thoughts and doubts is because you expect to experience this. if you simply release the expectation and realize that it is an optional experience like everything in this world, you will soon notice that the thoughts are quieter or nonexistent. don't accept "just ignore them, they will always be there" as an answer! ignore them, yes, but do not expect them to pester you and bother you. do not view thoughts and doubts as this big monster that chases you down relentlessly. the less you care, the better.

lastly, i want to add that this is not a process. there is no method to releasing the expectation. you simply do it. take deep breaths, solely ponder on the realization that you don't have to live this way anymore until it sinks in, cry/sigh/smile/laugh or react in anyway you want if you feel called to, and be happy that you're free. YOU ARE LITERALLY FREE FROM THAT BS NOW!!!! you have released the expectation. feel free to apply this to other expectations like failure, suffering, hardships, struggle, etc.

i hope this helps and i love you sm! now go manifest baby <3333

hey how to point your subconscious into believing something that's clearly not in 3D ( for beginners)

Repetition repetition repetition

Your brain forms new pathways through repetition, memories are solidified by repetition, it's how you learn and how your beliefs are solidified.

Through all ways available to you repeat repeat repeat what you want it to know

Ways you can do this:

Affirmations (repeated internally or verbally)

Visualizations

Grounding in the idea that your desire is fact

Subliminal messages or affirmation tapes

Mediation

Your subconscious takes everything at face value. It believes everything you tell it. When you repeat something to it it will believe you.

Think of it as a glass of water. It starts out muddy and filled with old thoughts. When you fill it with fresh water the mud and grime will be pushed out of the top of the glass as it overflows. Eventually, the glass will be filled with only clean water.

How long will that take? That depends on how much mud (what your subconscious beliefs are and how dedicated you are to those beliefs) is in the glass and how much water you are using.

If you only do a drop a day the cup will eventually be cleared of the mud yes, but it will take much longer. If you continue to add mud (negative thoughts) it will overshadow what little water you add.

But if you use a power washer and blast the cup with more and more and more water, bam, it's clean.

We are creatures of habit

We think thousands of thoughts a day, most of them are thoughts we've thought before. That's why it's so uncomfortable to change a thought pattern, it's a habit.

How do you start a new habit? Repetition and consistency.

Here's my post on that:

How to break old thought patterns

If you still think shifting's hard, read this.

If You Still Think Shifting's Hard, Read This.
If You Still Think Shifting's Hard, Read This.
If You Still Think Shifting's Hard, Read This.
If You Still Think Shifting's Hard, Read This.

You’re simply remembering.

For years, there’s been this huge misconception that shifting has anything to do with the body. I’m here to tell you—it doesn’t. When you shift, it’s your awareness that’s shifting, not your body.

Take symptoms, for example. Just because your body is tingling, itching, or whatever, doesn’t mean you have shifted—or that you haven’t. If anything, that’s just your body falling asleep.

“But why does it only happen when I try to shift then?” Because you’re forcing your body into a state it’s not normally in—making it do things it doesn’t usually do. Whether you’re meditating, levitating, gyrating, or castrating. The body reacts; it doesn't shift.

It’s confused—just trying to keep up with what your mind is doing. Because that’s the only part of you that truly matters. When you shift, your body isn’t going anywhere. It’s your mind remembering the life you’ve always been living. You’ve been there this whole time.

That’s why shifting is easy. You’re not traveling—you’re remembering.

Why Are You DEFENDING Your Limiting Beliefs? 🪿✨
Why Are You DEFENDING Your Limiting Beliefs? 🪿✨
Why Are You DEFENDING Your Limiting Beliefs? 🪿✨

why are you DEFENDING your limiting beliefs? 🪿✨

  . ★⋆. ࿐࿔ ✦   .  .   ˚ .ੈ✧̣̇˳·˖

no but really. why are you defending your limitations so hard?

i’m gonna hold your hand when i say this…but if most of your thoughts are still sounding like:

“i can’t do that”

“that’s just how it is for me”

“i’ve always struggled with that”

“my situation is different though”

“i’m trying but nothing works for me”

“it’s too unrealistic”

“it only works for other people”

you are literally CHOOSING to be stuck right now. :”) 🤍

here’s the thing:

if you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them.

your SUBCONSCIOUS DOESN’T CARE if it’s a “positive” belief or a “limiting” one. it just stores what’s repeated, what’s emotional, what feels like truth.

so when you keep repeating that story of lack, unworthiness, or struggle, guess what your 3D is gonna do? mirror it right back. not because it’s punishing you, but because it literally thinks that’s what you want to be true.

BUT GUESS WHAT? 🤭

you don’t have to PROVE your limiting beliefs wrong.

you just have to stop defending them like they’re relevant.

because they’re not anymore. why are you spending your time and energy fighting for a story that you don’t want? you can’t step into your new reality if you’re still gripping onto the old one like it’s still your identity.

let the limiting beliefs go. drop the old story. and you don’t necessarily need some big rebuttal or a whole healing arc to justify having the life you want.

you just have to choose again.

start affirming from the version of you who already got what they came for.

you are NOT here to protect your limitations. you are here to break them.

  . ★⋆. ࿐࿔ ✦   .  .   ˚ .ੈ✧̣̇˳·˖

QUICK AFFIRMATIONS to help release limiting beliefs:

i let go of every belief that no longer serves me

i do not identify with struggle anymore

i’m allowed to believe new things about myself now

i am no longer available for anything less than the best

i do not resonate with anything that doesn’t align with my desires

i embody the version of me who knows they’re limitless

i take back my power unapologetically, because this is MY reality, and only i get to decide how it plays out.

  . ★⋆. ࿐࿔ ✦   .  .   ˚ .ੈ✧̣̇˳·˖

i hope this post helped! 🫶

much love and light always <3

| So how do you actually use your imagination? - a mini guide on how to use your imagination like a medieval sword.

"To understand how man molds his future in harmony with his assumption we must know what we mean by a dimensionally larger world, for it is to a dimensionally larger world that we go to alter our future. The observation of an event before it occurs implies that the event is predetermined from the point of view of man in the three-dimensional world. Therefore, to change the conditions here in the three dimensions of space we must first change them in the four dimensions of space." - N.G

| So How Do You Actually Use Your Imagination? - A Mini Guide On How To Use Your Imagination Like A Medieval

(If you haven't, I'd recommend reading this post first in order to understand imagination, then come read this!! If you want, though.)

"The undisciplined mind finds it difficult to assume a state which is denied by the senses." Meaning? LET'S ENHANCE THE POWER OF OUR IMAGINATION!! 1. Define your desire. Know DEFINITELY what you want. Pretty easy.

2. Construct a scene, or an event, which you believe you would come across AFTER the fulfilment of your desire. →SMALL EXAMPLE: If you are manifesting getting an A+ on your next exam/assignment, construct a scene in which you would encounter your teacher congratulating you on such a high mark.

3. Deactivate the physical body (like a FNAF animatronic... ha. ha.) and induce the state akin to sleep - a drowsy state. It's important to note that you must still be conscious enough to control your thoughts. You don't want to get too sleepy. During this drowsy state, play the constructed scene over and over in your head until it feels and has all the distinctness of reality. A little note: In your imaginal scene, you must be the actor of your visual. You do not imagine in third person as if you are watching yourself on a movie screen. You must make it here and now, as in imagination it is, hence why it materialises in the outer world once persisted in.

"The difference will be appreciated if you will now visualize yourself climbing a ladder. Then with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front of you and feel you are actually climbing it."
