Goodbye, I'm Going Home

Everything is working in your favor.

You have to understand this: reality can't go against you. Why? Because reality is you. You believe reality is against you because you created the illusion of not having control over it. Reality just does what you tell it to do. You are the creator of your own reality. Whatever you decide is true. Now that you know you can't fail, what are you going to decide?

ೃ⁀➷ So what exactly are we shifting anyway?

A lot of people, when explaining shifting, get the concepts of our BRAIN, SUBCONSCIOUS, CONSCIOUSNESS and AWARENESS all mixed up. Here's a little field guide:

1) Your BRAIN isn't universal. Depending on the reality and the extent of changes in your script, your brain will be a little different in each DR. You know that Marina & the Diamonds song that goes “I am not my body, not my mind or my brain Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA”? Funnily enough, that explains it pretty well. None of these things are set in stone for shifters.

2) Your SUBCONSCIOUS is the part of your mind which ensures that you end up in the right reality. This is how we can peacefully shift without having to worry about scripting every little detail; your subconscious is not a genie in a bottle, it doesn't work against you. Shifters often use “Your subconscious/The universe already knows what you want” interchangeably. This concept is also often referred to as 'intention'.

3) Your CONSCIOUSNESS is omnipresent throughout the multiverse. This is where a lot of shifters get confused — no, your consciousness is not what you are shifting. It is always present in every single one of your DR selves, no matter which reality you are currently in. When you shift to your DR, you will notice that you have been conscious in this reality all along, you just weren't aware of it before.

4) And finally, your AWARENESS. This is the part of yourself that can be shifted from one reality to another. Your awareness is not universal, it is always focused on one reality at a time.

Forever the "I want to shift realities" daughter

Seriously, I am so glad that shifting exists because this reality is so messed up

“you should appreciate this reality more, it might help!”

me: *takes a good hard look at this reality* uhm… no <3

why appreciate the reality where people’s rights are being taken away when i can be in a reality where things like homophobia, racism, ableism, etc. don’t exist? 🤨

If I could give one piece of advice to shifters, from "baby" shifters to the ones who have been trying for five years, specifically the ones still on tiktok, it would be this.

Number one, get off of tiktok. I say this with love toward the shifttok community and as someone who still watches videos on there. Stop depending on other people. Especially on TikTok. People on TikTok love to preach about how much hard work it is and how shifting isn't easy, but everyone is capable of it if they "keep pushing and trying and experimenting with a new method every single night." Which leads me to my next point.

Shifting is easy. People on tiktok love to preach the opposite because they heard the affirmation "shifting is as easy as breathing" and chose to take it literally and then got their feelings hurt when it didn't go their way. Shifting is easy the moment you decide it is easy. And I mean really decide and truly believe, not just saying it a couple of times before bed without any intention behind it and then being confused when you're not in your desired reality.

I used to let myself get obsessed to the point of burn out. I survived the misinformation era of shifttok and unfortunately there still is misinformation on there. But more than that, it's full of people overcomplicating it. In 2023, I barely attempted with shifting at all because I was so burnt out and so drained from my "failures." That bled into 2024 as well where when I finally found my spark again, I would lose it after two tries and then would be demotivated for weeks or even months at a time.

But then at the end of 2024, something finally clicked for me. And it wasn't because of shifttok and it certainly wasn't because of tumblr either (I wasn't actively on shiftblr at this time). Something clicked and I suddenly didn't have any doubts about shifting. I knew with 100000% certainty that shifting is real, and because I knew it was real, I also knew that I would shift eventually. But that was my next obstacle. That one word.

Eventually.

I would spend every attempt believing in shifting but not really believing I would shift then.

Then I came on shiftblr. No, you should not depend on anyone for your shifting journey besides yourself. But I will say it was refreshing to see a switch from "which method should I do?" "What works for you?" "I've been trying for three years and nothing is working" "guys is shifting actually real?" to "obviously shifting is real and it's easy" "all you need to do is let yourself have it" "you don't need elaborate methods, just believe."

I will always love shifttok, but I can admit that it definitely stunted my growth on my journey. Listening to other people and depending on what other shifters, especially successful shifters, were saying fucked me over. You don't need those outside voices. All you need to do is let yourself believe that you can do it. And I mean ACTUALLY believe. The second you decide it's easy, it is easy. Shifting really can be as easy a breathing, if you let it.

And if you were on shifttok, you'd probably have a dozen different people saying in your ear "no, it's not. Shifting is hard because it's taken me years." But it only has taken them that much time because they keep reinforcing that idea over and over in their minds (calling myself out there). If I had the mindset I have right now back in 2020, I would have shifted to my desired reality within the first month of trying.

Although, it is probably a good thing I didn't shift right away to my first dr because that script was rancid and I did not understand shifting back then LMAOOOO

So tldr- stop depending on outsiders on your journey, especially people that overcomplicate it on tiktok. Figure out what you need to do to believe, believe in yourself that you can achieve it too, and then know that you will shift. Every time you want to shift, remind yourself that you will shift and that it is easy. Because it is. You never needed an instruction manual on how to dream or how to breathe. It's already built in. All you need to do is allow yourself.

eid mubarak‼️

i'm v curious — what's the routine that's helping you become a master shifter? 👀

I just decide I am one, that’s it.

Sometimes, if I want or to have fun, I affirm to REMIND myself (so NOT to convince my mind of it) and maybe listen to my subliminals.

No more worrying if I’ll shift/manifest or not, there’s literally no chance that I will fail, I am the creator so that’s ME who decides how things go.

I’ll do a mental diet, flipping my negative thoughts into positive ones in my absolute favour, no more wavering, only full belief and discipline.

You can do this with me, and update whenever you like and tagging me :) let’s go get our dream reality.

I got his autographhhh

In a lot of my DRs, if I ever get asked by someone why I love my S/O, there is a single response that works across the board and I get to quote Jessica Rabbit!

maybe you’re gonna be the one that saves me

gaining consciousness in my arrowverse dr for what felt like only three minutes (but i suspect it was longer..)

i was desperate. yet again.. if you remember my first post on a successful shift (where i opened my eyes) i had gone to sleep in desperation and intense desire to leave this reality. and the reason i bring this up? so that you know how easy and how capable it is to shift, even in the throws of desperation

it was a standard story — i stayed up late, contemplated existence, had a random burst of motivation to write 2k words for one of my fics, sat and stared at the wall while imagining edits to the music i was listening to, got distracted by barry allen edits before finally deciding to lay my head on the pillow and actually make an attempt

i chose an alunir meditation (the one for waiting rooms bcs that’s my main goal) before getting comfortable and allowing myself to relax

the problem is . i had a hard time relaxing.. tossing and turning, random joints spontaneously feeling itchy, distracted thoughts and an overall sense of despondency . but i persevered :/

i dipped in and out of sleep a couple of times and the last thing i remember is getting bothered by my earbuds and nudging them out of my ears before i completely blank out

i don’t know when i started to feel myself waking up again, but i do know how and why .. i could feel another presence beside me. i could feel the mattress dip down and the relaxed sigh of someone who just got into their bed after a long and tiring day

looking back on it now .. i’m surprised how normal?? that felt??

normally i only act this way in my cr with my parents like when my mum comes into my room for some extra crash when she’s going to get groceries, or my dad needs to borrow a charger. i’ll be asleep but i’ll be mentally awake, and i’ll hear their shuffling and recognise their footsteps, so i’ll be completely relaxed albeit a little annoyed by the noise

it’s baffling yet reassuring, the way that there is such normalcy, such seamless existence, between one reality and another i mean IT FELT LIKE IT HAD HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES BEFORE (and IT PROBABLY DID) this was probably something so normal for my dr and my life there

as i felt that sense of consciousness and mental awareness start to kick in, i noticed the faintest sound of cars on roads, a few light horns, just the constant white noised hum of traffic (and i can’t explain this in any other way but) it felt like a state of calm to me. it felt like something i should always expect. i honestly didn’t notice it until i heard a very distinct horn of a truck and then it went back to being the natural form of background noise

at this point, i don’t even know what i was thinking. the only thought i had was sleep. getting more sleep, going back to sleep, staying asleep . sleep

i must have moved or shuffled, i must have done something to indicate my slowly waking self because i was quickly tucked back under the sheets, a soft “shh” whispered against the back of my neck, gentle hands weaving their fingers through my hair and it felt like i was floating yet completely cushioned by some cloud of comfort

^ reading that over . it would sound scary and psychotic if i wasn’t so comfortable with my surroundings aksjdjskdk like, i knew that i could trust this person? i didn’t even remember his name bcs i was so exhausted but i was like “oh. it’s him, i love him… i’m tired” [starts relaxing again]

it felt so fucking relaxing .. it felt like i could sleep for eternity with not a worry in the world, it felt like every stressor was alleviated from my mind with every stroke of his fingers through my hair

and what made it all more worth it than it already was — he quietly started to hum

it was strangely unfamiliar yet so familiar at the same time, it was a melody i’d heard over and over again and yet i couldn’t quite place it but that was probably bcs my body was forcing me to go back to sleep

i really didn’t have much of a choice in the matter unfortunately :/

believe me, as soon as i woke up back here, i wanted to go back there, i wanted to return to that moment of peace, keep it in a capsule of love and take it with me everywhere, i want to paint it onto the canvas of my heart and keep it framed for good bcs i will never forget how complete i felt in that moment

maybe if i had known, maybe if i had been more awake to recognise that i had shifted, that i was in my arrowverse dr, that it was BARRY who had probably just returned from patrol and was finally going to sleep, it was BARRY who had brushed the curls of my hair with a touch so soft it felt like velvet, it was BARRY who’s voice carried me off into the sweetest slumber that cannot be compared

bcs when i tell you that waking up here was JARRING?? i’m not shitting you . i heard my air con, and the neighbourhood cat and i was thrown back into this life with a jolt.

it’s like i relaxed so much, it became too much? that’s the only explanation i can think of

i just stayed on my back, staring at the dark abyss of my room’s ceiling, regulating my mind

i could hear barry in my head but it was different, it was like a memory, bcs at this point it is a memory — i lived something without realising and now all i’ve got is the memory..

i sat up and checked my phone to see that it was 3:24 in the morning, meaning i had officially turned 21 and the birthday blues hit me full swing

bcs i had done it again, i’d shifted, i’d accomplished what i’d wanted, and while i felt happy, i still feel this void.. bcs it felt so NICE and i want to go back so badly

and that’s what i plan to do

anyway, some odd things that i noticed upon waking up here — my headphones (which i remember pulling out of my ears) were now safely back in their case. again. (this has happened before) so i’m assuming my cr-self did it but idk why i can’t remember, idk why i didn’t get the memory download ..

anyway, another thing, the song? THE SONG !! i remembered it instantly (maybe cuz in this reality i actually woke up fully conscious) it was WONDERWALL BY OASIS

safe to say it has been on repeat all day

(specifically the cover by zella day bcs apparently i already had it downloaded?? i remember being obsessed w this cover back in 2019 and now it means smth completely different to me, smth more personal)

idk what to make of this shift, i wasn’t even intending to shift to this dr, i was planning on going to my waiting room but i guess my subconscious was thinking abt barry (probably bcs of all the edits and working on my arrowverse fic)

i can still hear his voice and it’s such a soothing memory :(

idk why i feel such a void in me when logically, i knew i succeeded in accomplishing my goal.. but i’m gonna try and use this as a form of motivation for how much power our subconscious has on us, bcs i may have been intending to shift to my wr, but i genuinely needed this shift to my arrowverse dr

it was helpful in a way i can’t quite put into words, but to try : it rejuvenated me
