Say it with me now :
I do not need to say completely still
I do not need to be in a completely silent place and I do not need to meditate for two hours in order to enter the void state to manifest what I want or to shift to my desired reality
I can do anything I can move
I can scratch those itches
I can be in a loud place, in a loud classroom full of annoying students, in a subway, in public
I can meditate for only five minutes. I can literally just by taking deep breaths and affirm and I will shift I will enter the void state I will manifest that is how simple it is 
Telling yourself otherwise telling yourself the exact opposite of this is a limited belief. Get that out of your head. Get that shit out of your system. You can shift, you can manifest, you can enter the void state in under five minutes.
Time isn’t even a REAL THING.

so here’s why i personally didn't like *and* left shifttok. the thing is. it’s not that it’s inherently bad, it’s just… sort of missing the point. like, wasn’t the whole goal to shift? to get out, to go somewhere else, to slip through the cracks of reality like a goddamn pro? but somewhere along the way, it turned into a glorified pinterest board. edits on edits on edits. wattpad drabbles disguised as scripts. playlists that are less about actually shifting and more about curating an aesthetic, a moodboard, a vibe. and suddenly, you’re not shifting, you’re just making content about shifting.
like, i get it. romanticising your dr is half the fun. i did and still do it myself !! who doesn’t want to bask in the idea of their perfect world? but when that becomes the main event, when it overtakes the actual act of shifting, what are we even doing here? it’s like planning a trip, making all the itineraries, buying cute outfits, but then never getting on the plane. just sitting in your room, looking at your suitcase, rewatching your own tiktoks about how fun the trip is gonna be. that’s what shifttok became. this endless loop of people hyping up their drs but not actually going to them.
and maybe that’s the problem. because if you spend too much time making your dr look good instead of actually experiencing it, you start treating it like fiction. like something separate from you, instead of something you’re literally living. people started making edits of their drs like they were making fandom edits of a tv show. like, is this a real place you’re shifting to or is it just your latest hyperfixation? be honest. you spend so much time cooped up on video star or capcut and suddenly you don't remember the last time you affirmed or even thought about shifting.
and i’m not saying you can’t have fun with it. obviously, dream up the most insane, gorgeous, cinematic dr possible. but at some point, you have to ask yourself: am i actually trying to shift? or am i just roleplaying the idea of shifting? because shifttok is great at making shifting look cool. but the second you start seeing your dr as something to be consumed rather than something to be lived, you’ve already lost the plot.
so yeah. i left, and as soon as i did, i started actually shifting. because i actually wanted to do it. not just make a trailer for a movie i’m never gonna watch. does this make sense?????
Today, I had a realization that shifting is real. It's the very essence of existence. Since the beginning of this year, I have had a feeling that I had so many lives before and I am living so many lives right now. Maybe with a different name, with a different face. I feel like I have all the things that I crave. I am someone's beloved somewhere, I am living my best university life somewhere else or maybe somewhere I am someone's little beloved daughter, still playing with dolls inside a pillow fort. All of these are happening now at this very moment. I feel like shifting is the most real thing in this dream which we're calling reality. And my desired reality that I want to live--- it also exists somewhere in this Great Cosmic Design. I do not need any validation right now to tell me whether it's real or not because I know it is.
this. this is it !!!!!! this is the entire thing. you’ve cracked the code, pulled back the curtain, stared god in the face and winked. shifting isn’t some far-off, unattainable thing. it’s happening. right now. always. you are already living every version of yourself that you’ve ever dreamed of, every iteration, every possibility, all at once.
you are someone’s beloved. you are laughing in a university library, sunlight in your hair. you are curled up in a pillow fort, safe and small and loved. it’s all real. it’s all yours. you don’t need permission. you don’t need proof. you just are.

Hiiii!! About your method, I'm not sure how to convince myself on how to let go and remind myself that I just forgot? Like do I gaslight myself? Do I need to visualise where I want to go and just remind myself that I am already there and that I am just having long boring dream of the cr?? Sorry if it's a stupid ask but my overthinking won't shut up and overomplicates it 😔
how to let go during shifting... and by extension, my method !!
౨ৎ letting go is, ironically, the thing people grip onto the hardest. like trying to float by forcing yourself to sink. like opening a fist while clenching it harder. it doesn’t work because it was never meant to be done. it’s something that happens when you stop doing.
people ask how to let go, like it’s a step, like it’s something you have to try to do. but you don’t try to fall asleep. you don’t try to get lost in a daydream. it just happens when you stop needing it to happen. that’s the trick. letting go isn’t an action. it’s the absence of action.
⊹ ︶︶ ୨୧ ︶︶ ⊹
so how do you let go? stop holding on.
◞ stop chasing thoughts. they’ll run faster. ◞ stop forcing yourself to relax. it’ll tense you up. ◞ stop needing to shift. you already did.
it’s like forgetting a word that’s on the tip of your tongue. you don’t sit there, gripping your brain, demanding it to remember. you let it go, and it comes back on its own. shifting is the same.
and now, letting go in my method.
my method isn’t about letting go as much as it’s about realising you were never holding on. there was no struggle, no weight, no distance to cross. you were just convinced there was.
you don’t need to gaslight yourself. not really. you just need to doubt reality a little. poke at it. let it feel less real. let your brain hesitate for a second, and that’s all it takes. the illusion starts to flicker.
do you need to visualise?? only if you want to. but think about it. when you remember a dream, does it take effort? no. it comes back to you. not as something new, but as something old you misplaced. shifting works the same way.
so when you lie there, still and weightless, don’t reach. don’t try. just let your mind falter. let it wonder, wait... what if i already shifted and just forgot?
because if you’re already there, what’s left to let go of?
Hello, my name is Mahmoud, and I am from North Gaza.
I recently created a donation campaign to support my family in buying food 🍞, medicine 💊, clothes 👕, and rebuilding our home 🏠 and lives after the devastating war 💔. Before the war, I worked as a computer engineer 💻 in a local company, but I lost my job and home when the conflict began. I also lost one of my brothers 🕊️, and another was severely injured 🤕. Now, I am responsible for providing for my entire family 👨👩👧👦.
Although a ceasefire agreement has been reached, our struggle is far from over. We are still living in harsh conditions, and we urgently need help to buy clothes, rebuild what was destroyed, and secure basic life essentials.
Please, do not ignore my message 🙏. I feel deeply ashamed 😞 to ask for money 💰, but this is my only way to help my family survive and recover. Sadly, I have not received enough support so far 😢. Even a small contribution can make a huge difference 🌟. Please, for the sake of Allah, donate to help us rebuild our lives 👐. I pray that Allah grants you more wealth 💵 and protects your family from harm 🤲.
Thank you for reading.

I don't need anything else, I don't need a motivating storytime, tumblr post, "do this and you'll shift" no. i am the key. the key is me.
