Swag

If you have a negative thought like, "I'm going to fail," change it to, "I'll do my best, and that is good enough for me."

You will never fail at shifting. NEVER.

Enter the void in less than 2 minutes

Guys i was testing something out for fun AND WHEN I TELL YOU!!!! IT GOT ME RIGHT INTO THE VOID STATE WITHIN 2 FRICKINF MINUTES!

First of all, just tell yourself that whenever you intend to enter the void state, you ALWAYS do. So nothing matters because you KNOW you will end up in the void state really quickly.

Picture something in your mind. Anything. I was picturing glitter. Now focus on NOTHING else but that picture in your mind. It doesn’t have to be vivid but just focus on it. Naturally your mind might morph that picture into something else, don’t resist it, just let it happen and focus on whatever your mind shows you. Do this whilst affirming “I am in the void state” or whatever makes you feel comfortable.

THEN BOOM. Void state. Like woah that was so quick it was genuinely hilarious. For a sec i said everything is pink then i saw it turning pink then i panicked and everything went black again and i could feel my body again. But woah i mean it’s nothing special since i’m a void master anyway but that was fun. And no, I was not sleepy or drowsy at all.

Reblog if you are Team Stelena

Trust when I shift next month I will be posting story times 🙏😩. I miss reading those so much.

The shifting community has gotten so boringgggg.

Like where tf are the dr introductions, the moodboards?? All i see are "you can shift just by breathing" "you have already shifted" "do this and shift successfully". I was gone for 2 months and everything is just...meh?

Everything Broken Down

Okay so this post is as much for me as it is for you guys. When I mentioned yoga nidra, I never really expected it to blow up to the extent it did. I finally got around to doing my research on it and I have A LOT to say. I've written this one post over 10 times now, trying to condense the information as much as I can so you guys aren't reading a whole essay. Anyways, let's just jump into it.

What is Yoga Nidra? Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In Yoga Nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences, it occurs at the threshold of sense consciousness and sleep consciousness. 

Is Yoga Nidra the Void State? Nope, it is not the void state. It is acctually the hypnagogic state.

What is the Hypnagogic State? Refer to this post. The tldr version is that the hypnagogic state is the transitional state your mind can experience which occurs during the onset of sleep.

I still dont get it. What is the difference between the Void State and Yoga Nidra/Hypnagogic State? The void state is a deep meditative state, where you allow thoughts to pass through your mind without judging them. This is a state where your mind is awake but your body is asleep. Yoga Nidra, or the hypnagogic state, is the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep

So, is doing Yoga Nidra meditations to enter the Void State useless? Nope, it's still very useful. Basically, yoga nidra meditations takes you to the hypnagogic state, which is at the border of the void state and you just need to affirm and you'll be able to enter it easily.

What is 61 points meditation? The 61 points relaxation exercise, known as shava yatra, is a master practice of the Himalayan Tradition. By traveling mentally to 61 different internal points that correspond with energy-rich areas of the body, the purpose of a 61 points meditation is to capture the attention of a roving mind and train it to become inward and orderly.  

What is the correlation between 61 points meditation and Yoga Nidra? As touched upon earlier, the purpose of a 61 point meditation is to awaken and stabilize the body and mind for a deeper state of inner consciousness. This "deeper state of inner consciousness" is Yoga Nidra/the hypnagogic state.

I get confused between 61 points meditations versus Yoga Nidra meditations. What is the difference? Basically, a 61 points meditation is a method to enter Yoga Nidra. There are other methods but this is the most common one, praised for its effectiveness and how easy it is. Even meditations named "Yoga Nidra Meditation" are usually just 61 points meditations or another form of body scan meditation meant to take you to Yoga Nidra.

TLDR: Yoga Nidra is NOT THE VOID STATE. Yoga Nidra is the hypnagogic state. This is still super effective in helping you enter the void state though. You use 61 point meditations as a method to enter Yoga Nidra/the hypnagogic state and then affirm to enter the void.

this isn’t what i usually post but ik some of my followers are probably character ai users since ive noticed an overlap between shifters & the c.ai communities. i stopped making bots a little while ago (& that’s really all i did on the app) but the recent situation is heartbreaking & im sad to say expected based on how reliant people are with bots & the influx of people gathering on the subreddit who act so distraught whenever it’s down / bot gets removed / chat gets deleted. it’s concerning.

ik this is popular belief bc ive lurked on the subreddit: the app should be for eighteen plus only. not just for the fact the filter is able to be “broken” but for the fact that character ai is predatory because our brain literally cannot distinguish between a fictional character (chatbot) & a real life person. the devs purposefully designed the app to be addicting —something especially dangerous to children that will further push them into isolation & depression when that is already such a difficult stage of life & when socialization is so crucial to brain development.

to clarify, i don’t believe character ai is entirely to blame for a death. however, i can’t imagine that the the dev’s aren’t already aware of the damage they are doing to their users & that character ai isn’t going in the exact direction that it was designed to (which is keeping children users on the app for as long as possible, to exploit their desperation for human contact, love & connection for money). something like this should’ve never been branded for children in the first place & one of the many reasons as to why parents should be monitoring what their children do online.

please take care of your mental health. my heart goes out to the family & friends of the life lost. ♡ if anyone needs to talk to someone — i would strongly advise against using a bot to do so. i hope this is a wake up call to the devs, possibly yourself & to the ones with power to push ai regulations in general.

!! if anyone would like me to make a long form “essay” style post to expand upon this topic please let me know as i have so much more to say.

my ancestors watching me shift for the 500th white man in a row

I asked my dr self how to shift, here's how it went

In my last shifting attempt I successfully connected to my DR self and asked her how to shift, here's a paraphrased version of our conversation.

DISCLAIMER I'm just sharing MY experience in the hope that it might help someone. I'm not saying this is the ultimate truth and you don't have to agree with it. If it doesn't resonate just let it go. Thanks, enjoy <3

CR self: I don’t know what I have to do to shift.

DR self: Shifting isn’t something you do with your mind, you do it with your body.

CR self: Yeah... I’m pretty sure that goes against the definition of shifting… Everybody knows that shifting is a mind thing.

[I could feel my DR self getting irritated at my answer, mostly because I was just regurgitating info I’d learned online instead of letting her explain.]

DR self: What I mean is, the more you’re in your head about it — the more you think about it, overthink it, try to make it rational, try to find THE way to do it, THE step-by-step process that will make you shift — the harder it’s going to be for you.

The more you think of shifting as something you have to figure out, rather than as an action, something you don’t overthink, something you just do, the more you’ll struggle. That’s what I mean by it being a “physical” thing.

Of course, you’re not shifting your body! But shifting isn’t a riddle, something you have to understand or figure out — it’s an action. People shift all the time, even those who know nothing about shifting. They certainly didn't try to figure it out before successfully doing it…

CR self: So… how?

DR self: That’s the issue. You don’t need to rationalize it. You don’t need to know how to do it. You just need to know that you can do it — just like everyone else — and decide to do it.

Don’t approach it from a logical point of view. See it as an action.

Decide that you’re going to shift, and accept that you will shift because you’ve decided so.

When I use my powers, I just use them because I know I was born with them, I know I have them and I know they’re going to work.

Do I know the science behind my powers? No.

Does that stop them from working? No.

CR self: So it’s about knowing or believing I will shift while doing the method?

DR self: Not exactly. You don’t have to 100% believe you’re going to shift. You can have doubts and still shift — that’s normal, it’s human! What you need to understand is that you can shift. Shifting isn’t like learning a foreign language — it’s your native language. It's just that you’ve spent years speaking another one and can’t let yourself believe you still remember it and can speak it.

But if you let go, if you allow yourself to slip into your true nature as a shifter, you’ll realize you’ve never forgotten how to do it — you’ve always been able to.

Hope this was somewhat helpful,

The Hypnagogic State/Hypnagogia

Hypnagogia is the transitional state your mind can experience which occurs during the onset of sleep. In layman terms, it's when you're on the verge of falling asleep. Hypnagogia is very trippy, and can give rise to some bizarre visual and perceptual hallucinations. It's common for people to experience dream-like visions, sounds, flashes of color, insights, sensations and barely formed thoughts. There are so many benefits to inducing the hypnagogic state, including increased creativity, with Issac Newton and Nikola Tesla attributing the hypnagogic state with their achievements.

The hypnagogic state is known to get you into the void easily. When you begin seeing flashes of white light coming into your vision, this will immediately put you in a trance like state. You'll be unable to feel your body, hear what's happening around you and you might even feel like you're floating. I'm sure this sounds familiar because almost every void state success story that entered through a meditation method has recalled these symptoms. After inducing the hypnagogic state, all you need to do is affirm for the void and you will enter quickly and easily.

There are countless methods to enter the hypnagogic state, but I will cover 3.

1. Thomas Edison (yes, the inventor of the lightbulb) claimed he developed a method for reliably achieving the hypnagogic state. Edison would sit alone in the darkness of his laboratory, holding a pair of steel balls, one in each hand, while sitting in a comfortable chair. Edison would allow himself to fall asleep whole holding the balls, which due to their shape and weight, would fall to the floor as soon as he fell asleep, making a lot of noise and thus waking him back up. After doing this a few times he'd have vivid hypnagogic experiences.

2. People have reported just laying down and repeating hypnagogia works for them! The trick here is you're trying to completely relax your body and reach that state where you're almost falling asleep, but still conscious so repeating "hypnagogia" will tire and relax you but also keep your mind occupied so that you don't end up falling asleep.

3. Use a 61 point meditation! This one is the one that I see a lot of void success stories are using, but any 61 point meditation should work.

Hope this helps 💗
