Shifting Realties-
I said I was going to do another post on shifting realities, so today I’m sharing my experience so far, as well as some research I’ve done.
Personally I haven’t completely shifted yet. However I have tried twice and both times I made progress towards being able to shift. The most recent time (last night) I did a variation of the Raven Method, where I counted slowly to 100, taking deep breathes, thinking affirmations, and visualizing my dream reality in-between each number; except instead of laying in starfish position, I held my pillow in the position in which I normally sleep. Around 17 I began to see flashing lights. Around 50 I began to feel tingling, and around 80 I began to feel as if I was moving.
Now, into shifting.
-Shifting- The process of moving consciousness between realties.
- There is no right or wrong way to shift. Shifting will be different for everyone who tries
-Shifting Terms-
- Current Reality (CR)- The reality you are currently conscious in
- Desired Reality (DR)- The reality that you wish to shift to.
- Waiting Room (WR)- A place or ‘rest stop’ in-between realties where one may do things such as script or design their desired reality as they practice shifting.
- Temporary Reality (TR)- A ‘test reality’ or smaller version of a desired reality one may try to reach as they first start practicing shifting.
- Face Claim (FC)- The face you script to have in your desired reality
- Body Claim (BC)- They body you script to have in your desired reality
- Voice Claim (VC)- The voice you script to have in your desired reality
- Clone- Part of your consciousness that stays in your current reality and occupies your body there while you are in your desired reality.
- Respawning- The act of dying in your desired reality and waking back up in a waiting room or your current reality.
- Scripting- writing down everything you plan to happen in your desired reality.
-Scripting-
- There’s no right or wrong way to script. You can write full stories or just a few sentences. Just be sure to script in first person, as if everything is currently happening to you (Example: “I am rich and famous.”) You can hand write or type your script. You can add pictures or videos. Whatever helps you picture your dream reality.
- You can even script something as simple as “My desired reality will be perfect for me.” and allow your subconscious mind to take over the rest.
- You can also script for your clone when they stay in your current reality for you, such as their personality, behavior, and what they can or cannot do.
-Shifting Methods-
- Sunni 1- This method can be used when and wherever. Just find somewhere comfortable to sit. close your eyes and focus on your desired reality. Bring elements of your desired reality to mind until you can feel yourself there
- Sunni 2- this method is usually done before sleep. Get comfortable in bed and visualize your desired reality. Hopefully you’ll visualize pictures or scenes of you in your desired reality until you find yourself there.
- I am/Affirmations- This method is one of the easiest. Simply repeat affirmations such as “I am in my desired reality.” “I believe I am in my desired reality.” “I will soon be in my desired reality.”
- Subliminals- Music with affirmations under it that your mid subtly pick up on as you fall asleep.
- Raven Method- Position yourself on your back in starfish position. Close your eyes and slowly count to 100, visualizing your dream reality and repeating affirmations in-between each number.
- Elevator Method- Lay somewhere comfortable in starfish position. Put headphones/earbuds in and listen to subliminals. Close your eyes and imagine you are in an elevator. With each passing floor you gain more energy. On the top floor you will see your desired self sleeping. Step into their body and return to sleep (still in their body) and you should wake up in your desired reality.
- Staircase Method- Imagine you are at the bottom of a staircase. Each step symbolizes a step to reaching your desired reality. with each step you take you get noticeably closer to your desired reality. When you reach the top, stop and appreciate all you have done before entering your desired reality.
- Train Method- Slowly relax and clear all your thoughts. Think happy thoughts about your desired reality, adding affirmations if you wish. Imagine you’re on a train heading to your desired reality. Keeping your eyes closed, and not opening them until you reach your stop. Once you reach your stop you may open your eyes and step off the train, into your desired reality.
- Tunnel Method- Once you’re sleepy lay down in a comfortable position. Visualize yourself surrounded by your soul energy. Picture it dancing and twirling around you. You should start to feel tingling. Visualize this energy leaving your body. Picture a tunnel leading you to your desired reality. Slowly navigate this tunnel. Once at the end you will see your desired self sleeping. Give your soul energy to your desired self. Finally, fall asleep (in your current reality) with your soul energy now in your desired self, optionally repeating affirmations while doing so.
Remember these are not the only ways to shift. You may have to look up different methods or make up a method of your own. Shifting is different for everyone who tries it. It takes patience and practice. No one shifts on their first night.
-Other Tips-
- Stay Hydrated
- Meditate throughout the day
- Review your script throughout the day
- Practice regularly
- Have patience
Remember, to shift you have to have peace, patience, and you have to truly believe in shifting without a doubt. Just like hypnosis, your brain will not allow you to do it if you don’t believe.
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know any questions you have. I will be updating as I make progress shifting and do more research!
in which i recommend books like the netflix algorithm
you wanted it, you got it, babes! caveat: this list is long (seriously, sorry about the length) and i can’t write blurbs for everything, but i highly recommend going and looking at anything that sounds interesting. some books will fall under multiple headings, so i’m listing them twice. i am linking to their purchase pages on bookshop.org, because amazon sucks and bookshop helps support indie booksellers, but if your local indie bookstore offers delivery or curbside pickup, buy it there. and i’m trying to keep this list confined to pretty recent titles, so even though a few older ones might slip in there, it’s definitely centered on releases from the past few years. okay let’s do this.

That soulmate au where you see color when you find ur soulmate and maybe one person loses their ‘original’ soulmate
That person tries to describe color to someone who can’t see it, but slowly they begin to be able to see color because soul mates aren’t just found, they’re made.
I’m starting to feel like my sole personality trait is just not getting enough sleep

Songs based on Greek mythology
- Start a War // Klergy with Valerie Broussard (This is not based on greek mythology but I’m sure you’ll get the vibes of a greek war)

- Alrighty Aphrodite // Peach Pit (Hephaestus talking to Aphrodite after having been cheated on)

- Something Just Like This // Romy Wave -cover- (it just mentions greek mythology once but it’s a very dark academia song so here you are)

Destiel Putin Trump gets fired AND a promising corona vaccine all in 72 hours, this is hysteria I'm experiencing hysteria my mouth is FOAMING
The 2020 redemption arc is so poorly written but at least they tried I guess?
f/m shippings are great, heterosexuals just have the most awful taste in heterosexual relationships. why can’t you all be normal and instead of shipping edgy manchild x soon to be house wife, why don’t you ship that has whatever Adam and Morticia from the Adams family has.
every time this post gains notes again I am reminded of my pain and sufferings
Someone told me my hair looked cute today so guess this’ll be my style for the rest of the month 😌
