I Both Did And Didn’t Understand Feeling So Attached To The Reality You’re Shifting To That It Emotionally

My sister SHIFTED on her second try. (she didn't even try)

Me and my sis discussed shifting three days ago. She has never been shifted before and somehow, I managed to make her a script literally for fun. In the script, we added—

• she will hear the ocean waves.

• the song “the end of the world” is playing

I made sure that she is safe in her DR and helped her find her DR hair, dresses and room.

She got int a lucid dream on her first attempt. (SHE HAD NEVER BEEN INTO ONE BEFORE)

She shifted on day 2 and she told me that she literally forgot about shifting and just wanna take a nap. She told me how real it was and she almost passed out when she saw herself in a nearby mirror with everything we'd scripted.

She then shifted again the next morning before she went to school because she was so stressed out. It took her less than 10 minutes to shift.

She explained that my inability to shift after three years of trying was due to my excessive excitement, advising me to calm down. Despite this, she remained calm and expressed her intention to shift further.

— my favourite shifting method

(sleep paralysis/lucid dream(¿)

i wake up at 10 am

i stay up for max 2 hours

in that time i may watch stuff that reminds me of my dr or maybe read some shifting storylines to give me more motivations

if i start to yawn and my eyes feel watery that’s my cue to go back to sleep

i get into a comfortable position and after 10 minutes i feel symptoms of sleep paralysis which is

vibration/frequency sound

legs feel weak

once i enter sleep paralysis. i imagine my dr surroundings and say “i am in my dr”

i immediately feel my surroundings change

most of the times i enter a lucid dream too

i have problems with grounding myself so that’s where it usually ends but i will do this method again and let you know how it goes.

if you have questions feel free to ask.

I THINK, THEREFORE I SHIFT ✶

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.

𖥻 WHAT DOES "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" MEAN?

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.

𖥻 INTERSECTION OF SHIFTING AND DESCARTES.

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.

𖥻 OVERCOMING DOUBTS WITH "COGITO."

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.

𖥻 BEYOND PHILOSOPHY : APPLYING "I THINK, THEREFORE I AM" TO SHIFTING.

— 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.

𖥻 CLOSING THOUGHTS.

"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.

trying to manifest.

in manifesting, we don’t try to manifest. there are three steps to it ⋮ 1 ⋮ picking a desire ⋮ 2 ⋮ assuming it to be yours and ⋮ 3 ⋮ persisting in that assumption aka enjoying it in imagination. none of these steps include "trying" because whenever you "try" to manifest, you automatically fail.

there is no trying.

you aren’t trying to manifest. when you manifest, you don’t attempt to. you simply BECOME. you simple ARE. you simply HAVE. the more you try, the more you will experience trying it. but he more you ARE, the more you will experience BEING it.

the state of trying.

my perspective on trying to manifest changed when i understood that to try represents a STATE as well (shouout to edward art). it's a CONCEPT of self. it's a FEELING. trying to get, trying to achieve, trying to attain, trying to resolve, trying to attract … these are all FEELINGS. feelings that you internalise within and take with you before you imagine.

the trying self.

if you keep trying to manifest, you will forever continue to remain in this state of trying, not embodying or experiencing. remember, self must be expressed and your assumptions of self must harden to fact. the outer world can only reflect your inner world. if you identify as the version of self that tries and waits for their desires, this version of you HAS to be expressed. only when you truthfully BECOME your desired version, your external reality will have to reflect it back to you.

trying and being.

let’s imagine two people. person A and person B. person A and B are both manifesting their desires. when you ask them about their desires, this is how they would respond:

A · i manifested my desires. i am experiencing them in my imagination. i already am who i want to be and have what i want to have.

B · i'm trying to manifest my desires. i'm trying to live in the end but i don't fully believe in it. i haven’t really identified with my desired version of self so far.

person A is identifying as a person who already has become their desired self whereas person B hasn't. one person is identifying with the END while the other one is still identifying with the PROCESS.

less trying, more being.

the feeling of trying is nowhere near the feeling of being. it’s incomplete. it’s unfinished. it will leave you feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. the state of trying will only drain you out of energy. and it will forever hinder you from feeling the feelings you wish to feel.

but before a feeling or a state (they both mean the same) gets materialised, it has to exist somewhere before. before it occurs on the OUTside, it first occurred on the INside. in conclusion, ALL states belong to you. ALL of them can only exist if you permit them to. only if you give allowance and acceptance to a state, it can take place in the physical.

moral of the story? don’t try becoming it. just BE it.

with love, ella.

3 deep breathes mindest

If this message resonates with fellow shifters who are mindful of their thought processes, I encourage you to try incorporating these affirmations :

“Every night, I shift effortlessly into the void by only taking 3 deep breaths.”

(p.s it can be 5 claps , 7 glasses of water , etc . whatever suits you)

“oh but i’ve seen this technique before and it seems too simple & easy to change my whole mindset-” girl lay down and relax I BEG.

Don’t treat this exercise as a method. Changing your shitty mindset is not something that happens overnight (mostly). I dare you to prove to yourself that you’re patient enough.

shifting back in time is like when you're playing the sims and something bad happens so you have to quit without saving and take it from the top

how do you think someone should go about getting involved in the shiftblr community? like,, what accounts to follow and wtv

The best way to start getting into shiftblr is just posting your experiences or whatever comes to mind about shifting. I didn't do my introduction till like months later so that's not important. The people who spam like your shit, comment, or interact in any way are the ones you should be mutuals with. Then you brunch from there. I don't really follow advice blogs cause I don't care for it. 🎶I GOTTA GO MY OWN WAY!!🎶🎶🎶

Sorry I mainly follow people that are cool and talk about their dr or people that follow me first. Post whatever you want and be free. I would give you a list of everyone I follow but it's a lot to go off the dome.

Don't be afraid to speak and @ me when you make your page. HAVE A GOOD ACCOUNT THEME TOO! SOMETHING MEMORABLE!

is it still casual huh.

“The Daily Prophet and their flobberworm of a head reporter can keep their drama— we don’t twist our stories to fit some stale Ministry narrative.” — The Editor-in-Chief of The Puffinton Post

THE PUFFINGTON POST is a chaotic yet strangely efficient operation run out of a repurposed classroom on the third floor (which is lovingly referred to as The Quillery.) run by a rotating team of overachievers, gossipmongers, and one sleep-deprived layout wizard, it’s both a battlefield of deadlines and the social pulse of the school. the editors use enchanted Quick-Quotes Quills to speed up production, though it’s anyone’s guess if the quills capture actual facts or just the juiciest version of the truth

HOW IT’S RUN

the team is led by an Editor-in-Chief (usually a loud, opinionated seventh-year), assisted by a handful of section editors who wield red-inked quills like weapons. each week, they hold heated brainstorming meetings, where the room crackles with enchanted floating parchment and enough spilled tea (literal and metaphorical) to fill the Great Lake. submissions are open to any student, but staff writers get first dibs on big stories—assuming they can charm the editors, who love a bit of drama

THE NEWSPAPER TEAM

REPORTERS . scout the juiciest gossip, biggest news, and weirdest happenings on campus. practically unstoppable, they’ll dive into the Forbidden Forest for a scoop if it means landing the front page

EDITORS . ruthlessly revise articles and argue over headlines, aiming for maximum drama without ending up on a professor’s radar

PHOTOGRAPHERS . armed with charmed cameras that capture moving images, they often risk life and limb chasing Quidditch players mid-match or snapping Peeves in action

ILLUSTRATORS . craft whimsical moving cartoons or hauntingly detailed sketches, depending on the tone of the piece

LAYOUT TEAM . use advanced spellwork to arrange articles, images, and enchanting advertisements that sometimes wink at readers

SECTIONS & NOTABLE STORIES

HEADLINE NEWS . covers Hogwarts’ biggest events. Recent splashy stories include “Are the House-Elves Planning a Union?” and “Hagrid’s Pumpkin Patch: A Site of Magical Growth or Magical Mischief?”

QUIDDITCH CORNER . tracks team stats, with columns like “Is Gryffindor’s Seeker Actually a Golden Snitch Magnet?”

SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT . a slightly catty, endlessly entertaining rundown of who’s dating, who’s fighting, and who’s been caught sneaking butterbeer into the Astronomy Tower

MYSTERIES & ODDITIES . a deep dive into Hogwarts lore, featuring pieces like “The Hidden Staircase That Eats Shoes” and “Who Really Haunts the Fourth Floor Lavatory?”

OPINION & SATIRE . snarky takes on everything from new potion regulations to the controversial topic of house unity, with regular features like “Why Ravenclaws Think They Know Everything” (written by a Ravenclaw)

CREATIVE SHOWCASE . poems, short stories, and student artwork, like “An Ode to Dobby” or fine-tip pen sketches of the Black Lake’s grindylows

DISTRIBUTION

The Puffington Post is distributed every Friday morning via enchanted paper airplanes that zoom directly to breakfast tables in the Great Hall. the magic wears off if you take too long to read, so dawdling isn’t an option. prefects often complain about students reading under their desks during Charms, but professors secretly subscribe, too.

SPECIAL EDITIONS (every one is a chaotic affair, jam-packed with so much Hogwarts spirit you can almost smell the butterbeer stains on the parchment)

— THE VALENTINE’S SPECIAL : Love, Lies, and Lacewing Potions

this edition is dripping with enchanted hearts and aggressively pink margins, with stories like “Top 10 Secret Spots to Swoon Your Sweetheart” and “The Most Romantic Love Potions You Absolutely Shouldn’t Use (But Totally Will).” the gossip column goes full throttle, outing secret crushes (with questionable accuracy), while the Creative Showcase features poetry so sappy even Madam Pince has been caught dabbing at her eyes

— THE FIRST-YEAR SURVIVAL GUIDE : Sorting, Snitches, and Surviving Snape

released every September, it’s a crash course for newbies. expect practical tips like “How to Get the Moving Stairs to Chill” and “10 Ways to Not Cry in Potions (Impossible, But Worth Trying).” veteran students contribute anonymously to the “Unofficial Rules” section, which includes gems like “Don’t Look the Bloody Baron in the Eye” and “If Fred and George Weasley Offer You Candy, Run.”

— THE YULE BALL EDITION : Fashion, Feuds, and Footwork

a glossy, glitzy masterpiece with enchanted images of past Yule Ball outfits and step-by-step charms for fixing last-minute wardrobe disasters. the Social Spotlight section is essentially a pre-ball betting pool on who’s showing up with whom, while Opinion dives into debates like “Should Durmstrang Boys Be Banned from Stealing All the Dates?”

— THE END-OF-TERM SPECTACULAR : Grades, Gags, and the Great House Cup Debate

published in June, it’s part celebration, part roast. professors get “awards” (like Flitwick for Most Patient and Snape for Most Likely to Kill You with a Glare), and there’s always a cheeky exposé on house-point shenanigans. expect tear-jerking farewells to seventh-years alongside brutally honest year-in-review recaps, like “Was That a Troll in the Dungeon or Just Another Tuesday?”

EXTRA, EXTRA !!

— RIVALRY . there’s a (very one-sided) feud with The Weekly Wizard, a smaller Ravenclaw-run zine, though it’s been dismissed by most students as “too niche and painfully dull”

— BEHIND THE SCENES . the staff always keeps a stash of Honeydukes’ chocolate for late-night edits, and their mascot—a tiny enchanted quill named Zippy—flits around leaving motivational doodles on unfinished articles

if Hogwarts has a pulse, The Puffington Post is the enchanted quill jotting down every thrilling, bizarre, and scandalous beat
