I Am Not Scared To Shift.

lowkey fuck casual shifting???

like, no, i don’t want to skim the surface, i want to plunge.

i want history, but not in the "oh, i saw marie antoinette at versailles" way. i want to stand in the french court and know, with visceral certainty, that the air reeks of sweat and powdered wigs and impending doom.

i want love, but not the diet coke variety. i want it unfiltered, unpasteurised, the kind that ruins lives and gets greek tragedies written about it.

i don’t want to dabble in magic like it’s a weekend hobby, i want to be crowned in a kingdom that runs on blood oaths and prophecy. i want to ride a dragon. i want to be a disney princess. i want to be a hollywood star with 5 oscars. i want to be a cartoon character. i want to be spiderman. i want to see hogwarts. i want EVERYTHING.

casual shifting is like ordering a steak well done. it’s like going to rome and eating at mcdonald’s. it’s like watching succession and thinking logan roy just needed therapy. no, i want the whole thing. i want to be scorched by it.

scripting a two year slow burn like I don’t literally foam at the mouth when I see a photo of this man 😶

things i’ve learned as a shifter who has shifted both awake and asleep

(if you know you know)

everything is up to you, therefore you determine if you shift or not

a lot of people back out if they’re scared. use your fear as an affirmation of you actually being there, use it to ground yourself. you are perfectly capable of shifting, despite the feeling of fear. you will shift and it may be scary, use it as a tool to keep you there

in my experience, i’ve felt things when i shift. i also have not felt anything change and still shifted. it can be both. yes you don’t need “symptoms”, but you can still feel things.

 that being said, you don’t need to feel anything or everything to shift. 

if you believe something, it will happen. if you think something won’t work, it won’t work!

shifting is instant, you can be in any reality at any moment! time is fake!!

using methods is not completely useless, they may not work for you and you should do things that feel right for you but being completely against tools that can help is like going backwards instead of forward.

at the end of the day, shifting is up to you. 

nobody can make you shift but yourself, and there are a bunch of tools out there for you to use. the best and the biggest tool is you.

i was also told it would be funny if i shared that i shifted in the shower butt ass naked and wide awake before so take that as u will

fear of shifting or an extinction burst in disguise?

a shay theory

let’s talk about fear—not just any fear, but that sudden wave of anxiety, doubt, or hesitation that creeps in right before or during your shifting attempts. when your heart begins to race or you can no longer breathe or when you feel right at the precipice of shifting but something is holding you back… what if that fear isn’t actually a roadblock, but a sign?

this ties into something called an extinction burst—a concept in psychology that happens when an old habit or pattern is about to be replaced by a new one. right before the shift happens (in both behavior and consciousness), the old pattern fights to stay in place. it flares up, intensifies, and does everything it can to keep things the same.

so let’s relate this to shifting:

if you’ve been conditioned to believe that shifting is difficult, impossible, or even scary, your subconscious has built a pattern around that belief. and when you start genuinely stepping into the mindset that shifting is natural, easy, and happening now, that old belief doesn’t just disappear—it pushes back.

this resistance often shows up as:

sudden intrusive thoughts about shifting being dangerous or “not real”

feeling like something is “stopping” you

an overwhelming fear right before or as you attempt

irrational anxiety about what will happen if you succeed

this fear isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign to keep going. your subconscious is reacting because it senses change, and change feels like a threat to the old belief system. but if you push through, the fear loses power, and the new belief (that shifting is natural and innate) takes its place.

how to navigate the extinction burst:

understand this fear is not real danger. it’s the old pattern trying to cling on before it fades away.

instead of resisting the fear, observe it. say to yourself, “this is just an extinction burst, which means I’m close/already there.”

shift through the fear. accept that it’s just noise, not a stop sign.

remind yourself, “shifting is natural, and I allow myself to do it.” the more you affirm this, the weaker the fear becomes.

extinction bursts spike right before a breakthrough, but if you push past them, they fade, and the new pattern takes hold. allow the new pattern to take hold. allow yourself to shift.

Idk if I've talked about this before, but I saw someone post about why people who have been trying to shift for so long might not be shifting (this might not apply to everyone, but it really clicked with me). They only explained why, so I'm gonna talk about the solution I came up with.

They specifically said that it was not tough love, but psychological facts: it's possible that your mind registers shifting as a goal in THIS reality.

Think about that for a second. This is the part that really got me when I started to think about it. When you are here, in your CR, your goal is to shift, right? So what if our minds interprets that as a goal IN THIS REALITY, as simple as going to bed thinking "oh, I'm going to unload the dishwasher in the morning." Because shifting is just aligning with your DR self, and guess what?? Your goal in your DR is not to shift! That blew up my brain a little bit.

"But i want to shift" you know how everyone keeps saying "you are already in your DR"? I interpreted that for so long as motivation. It's not. It's the process. To align with your DR self, just like aligning with another person in your CR you have to have the same goals.

So your goal is no longer to shift. Stop thinking like that. Your goal IS NOT TO SHIFT. Waking up where you are meant to has never been a goal, but an expectation. Your goal is to wake up and go downstairs to have breakfast with your DR friends or family. Your goal is to wake up and get to class on time to ace that Defence Against The Dark Arts quiz you totally forgot to study for until the night before. Your goal is to wake up and win that Oscar, to break that curse, destroy the One Ring, you fucking name it babes.

I don't know if this is really dumb and obvious, but it wasn't for me before, so I really hope this post helps someone else too.

The senses shift last

Reposting because Tumblr flagged the last one

Focus on your internal experience. That is what matters. That is what shifts. Think as your DR self and no one else. If you enter the mental state of your DR self you will enter the physical state of your DRself.

It's ok if you don't feel it yet, it's ok if you hear a sound from your CR, it's ok if you can feel your old bedroom still. It's OK.

Shifting is not a physical process. Your physical body is not what's shifting between realities, your awareness is. Your sight, hearing, taste, feeling, etc, are all a part of your physical body.

What the nerves in your body are experiencing doesn't matter because you are not the nerves, you are not the body, you are the awareness. Your body isn't trying to shift, your mind is.

You are trying to become aware of another reality and therefore what you are experiencing in this one is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what this body experiences it matters what your awareness is experiencing.

Shifting is internal focus on shifting internally.

If you still don't get it think of it this way:

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

If you are sitting down and thinking to yourself about everything see, hear, feel, smell, or taste from your CR, then you are LITERALLY applying the 5 senses method to your CR.

If your method is mainly affirming, so repeating to yourself that you're there, WHAT do you think is happening when you keep telling yourself you're not there? Everything you say is an affirmation. It's not that methods aren't working it's that you are literally applying them in reverse.

It doesn't matter what your senses are telling you because you will shift before they do. It doesn't mean anything unless you tell yourself that it does.

If your senses do not match your mental state stay in the mental state until they do. Do not compromise with shit you don't want.

STAY in the mind of your DRself. That's your only job. Continue to think as if you're there. Continue to think about your life in your DR, continue to occupy the mind of your DRself.

This is what so many people get stuck on. I don't expect you to magically stop experiencing it, it is ok that you felt it. All you have to do is continue to think as if you are in your DR anyway.

Your subconscious will believe what you tell it over what your body is experiencing. Your only goal is to keep telling it that you're in your DR.

Yes you might have heard a loud noise and yes you know it's not from your DR. That doesn't matter. The goal is not to magically un-hear it but to avoid returning to the mental state of your CR self.

It is ok if you can't make yourself believe you're there, you just have to think to yourself as if you are. Think as DR you and no one else.

Essentially, you shift mentally before you feel it physically. Before you experience your desired reality externally you experience it internally.

Tumblr please stop flagging my posts for no reason

Your subconscious already knows what you want. Why are you trying so hard to convince it? It's you who needs to calm down and let the mind do it's job.

Everytime I shift to a random reality is when I tell my subconscious to take me wherever it wants. Your mind cannot fail you, stop doubting it.

Choose what you desire and assume you have it. Because you do. They are not separate from you. Your desires are you.

today is a good day— new dr just dropped. here comes the dopamine.

i pinky promise, hand on heart, other hand holding a matchstick about to light this baby up, this is the only shifting post you need. no fluff, no razzle-dazzle, no five-paragraph essays about brainwaves or how you need to do the cha-cha in a lucid dream to make it happen. none of that. i know, i know, you’ve seen a million of these posts before!!!!! they’re all like, ‘just believe, babe!!!!!’ and toss you into the deep end of manifestation tiktok. but i’m serious.

let me break it down: shifting is easy. I KNOW. I KNOW. "emma i've been trying for five years, NOTHING's happening." no, REALLY, you’ve already been doing it. every day. every time you zone out during a lecture, or start daydreaming about a life where you’re waltzing around versailles with marie antoinette or sipping espresso in twin peaks. that feeling !!!!!!! that’s it !!!!!! that’s the first brush of the sandworm under your feet.

the FIRST TRUTH!!!!! you don’t need a method. forget the ladder, the cracking raven, the star charts. sure, they’re cute, but they’re like training wheels. the real power is in knowing. knowing you’ve already got it. you just do it. you’re not asking reality to let you in; you’re telling it where you want to go. AND THEN YOU GO !!!!! SO GO !!!!!

the SECOND TRUTH!!!!! your mind is your arrakis. it is vast, it is hot, it is buzzing with potential. you can plant anything there, and it’ll grow!!!! timelines, dreams, full-on universes. all you need to do is stop overthinking it. shifting isn’t about fighting to make it happen. it’s about leaning back, relaxing, and letting it take you.

think of it like floating in the ocean: the more you try to force it, the harder it gets. but if you let go, trust the waves, you’ll find yourself drifting effortlessly toward where you want to be.

the THIRD TRUTH!!!! you’re already there. no, i’m not being cryptic or trying to sound like a fortune cookie. what you desire.....the reality, the life, the version of yourself you’re dreaming of.......it’s already yours. time and space are silly little concepts for the mortals. you’re a prophet. you’ve already conquered them. movin' on.

you don’t have to prove you’re worthy, you don’t need a cosmic permission slip. you’re already the shaper of the unshapeable. so !!!!!! stop overcomplicating it. how to shift? nr one: know you shift, nr two: you're in your reality. BAM. KABOOM. shifting is easy because you’re the one in charge, and you always have been. don’t think too hard; just be. be the person in the river, sipping iced coffee, pissing out enlightenment. be the person NASA is terrified of because you’re too sustainable. be the person on their vespa, popping wheelies through timelines like a pope on holiday.

you don’t need angel numbers or the moon in the 7th house to tell you it’s working. it’s working because you’re the one making it work.

shifting isn’t about imagining every detail of your dream life; it’s about embodying the feeling of being there. stop doubting yourself. stop checking the clock or waiting for ‘proof.’ the second you decide to shift, it’s done !!!!!

you’re the muad’dib. you’re.... logan roy in a three-piece suit. you’re the sandworm and the storm. now shift!!!!!!!!!!!! go claim your kingdom!!!!!!!

had a dream last night that wasn’t about my dr but may have just inspired a new one 👀
