I Reblogged This A Little Bit Ago; I'm Thinking About Luffy And Shanks Now, So This Is Just A Surface-level

Hey Mason, what's your favorite method? 🙂

Hi! I don't really use methods, but I shift on command with something that has been named the ''zooming in'' method after I explained how it works for me!

I'll include a description I wrote for it a while ago for anyone who wants to give it a try :)

The method itself is extremely simple, and it can be used in basically any state; fully awake, before sleep or when just waking up, I reckon a lucid dream would work too! It should take around a few seconds, but it could be up to a few minutes to shift this way. Keep in mind to not overdo yourself, and take a break if you don't succeed after more than a few minutes, just try again later.

For the method you are going to close your eyes, and imagine the place you're shifting to. You DO NOT have to visualise!! but you can if you think it would help you. Imagine the place you're shifting to in front of you, as if you're looking directly at it, but from a zoomed out view. Personally I cannot visualise, so this is all based on feeling, not on actually seeing anything! For me it helps to imagine the energy of that place. And moreso 'remembering' it. Then all you do is zoom in, imagine said place rushing towards you, it's getting closer to you until you merge with it, and in the same thought your current surroundings get kind of pushed back or are ignored.

That's literally all there is to it! If I don't shift, I often notice myself feeling very dizzy and disoriented for a little bit, and for me it's the easiest way to just quickly get out of any place I'm at. Another way of describing it would for it to be like teleporting (although I don't think any of you here knows what it feels like). It's like you feel a bit of a rush, like you travelled for the slightest second, and then you're somewhere else.

It's the best way I can describe how I shift, and it works well for me. Other people have also had success with it based on comments I have received, but it's in no way the key to shifting. Remember that you can shift any way, anytime, anywhere. You can change or adjust anything you want, always💚

the way i am that girl that sits in the corner of the classroom and has a book in her hand at all times in my better cr. oh to be disgustingly well-read .

i am guilty of this

i need to stop making dr pinterest boards and leaving them with one (1) pin only.

and FUCK the ib exams i am shifting tonight and never coming back!!!!!!! oh the joy!!!!!!! the relief!!!!!!! i will be feasting on grapes and nutella pancakes and pasta in my waiting room come next morning ……. so excited .

sometimes i remember that if i'd given up on shifting, i'd never know how they warm they are when they hold me. never know what it feels like to be the wish granted. to be wanted in a room like light. to be seen, beautiful, not just forgiven. to have laughter that isn’t borrowed. to have friends, not people, friends

Shifting has made me realize how much I really want to live. I actually want to do so much. I want to know worlds and instruments and languages and people and careers. I want to experience everything over and over and over again

And after all, it's really possible

me trying to tell others my lore in my dr but i suck at explaining things
