My Biggest Shifting Advice

— I WENT TO THE VOID STATE ON MY FIRST TRY

so many of you guys know that i favour sleep paralysis, though i never tried to use it to get to the void state.

i didn’t want to use it to shift to my dr but to see what it was like.

if you’re unsure: the void state is a deep meditative state of instant manifestation.

so today i woke up at 11:00am and stayed up for an hour

i felt tired so i laid back down and after like 10 minutes i felt symptoms of sleep paralysis

not long after that i was in sleep paralysis

now at this stage i was like “for shits and giggles let me go to the void”

i said “i am” over and over again and “i am in the void state”

and oh my god literally in 5 seconds i didn’t feel my surroundings anymore

i was literally floating!!!

i felt so at peace and it was all black

i wanted to manifest my dream face so i said i have all my dream face and felt my face change omg

i also am a football fan so i manifested that we make a couple of signings during the summer!!

and after that i left the void state!

it’s literally that easy for me and i’m so happy.

i will MOST DEFINITELY be visiting the void state more often wow

if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

hope this helps !

if you can imagine it, you can have it. if you can desire it, it is already yours

FROM A SHIFTER WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO SHIFT FOR 5 YEARS (ACTUALLY FOUND OUT IT’S BEEN 6 YEARS)

I have seen this community get bigger and i have seen one part of the community say one thing and the other part of the community say something completely different.

I have tried methods, i have applied the law of assumption, living in the wish fulfilled, i took care of my CR, i worked on my self-concept, i relied on tarot readings and not relied on tarot readings, i have tried finding the root to my problems and tried not forcing it.

One year each. Applied what was given to me.

And i can say, I'm irritated about the lack of compassion this community offers.

People forget that behind the screen they're just as human as the rest of us. A following on Tumblr is as unimportant as a following on Amino. I understand that people want to explain what works for them but a part of this community acts in a way that makes their opinion seem fact.

Someone saying that we have to find what holds us back and another telling us that forms unnecessary blockages. One Person says that maybe we don't want to shift, another person calls bullshit on that.

From someone who has been on this journey for six years, i can promise you, i want to shift because otherwise i would have already given up. I have never been committed to anything as much as i am committed to my shifting journey.

I take breaks, of course. But that's about it.

I don't enjoy just daydreaming and not all of us have the privilege to just give up. Years ago, i wanted out because i was suffering from abuse.

And here is my question:

WHY DOES THIS COMMUNITY THINK IN A WAY THAT DISREGARDS PEOPLE WITH BAD CIRCUMSTANCES?

The amount of times i have read the words victim mentality is insane. This community might be better than shiftok but it's as bad as the law of assumption twitter community.

Okay so I shifted 🫠 It’s hard to describe the experience but I think I did shift. For a brief moment though, I was myself in my dr before bed. I had thoughts I would usually have before going to bed and I was 100% being myself in my dr. It was so natural and I didn’t force anything, It just happened to me when I went to bed. I wasn’t “pretending” or “acting as if”, but I had images and visions of my dr that I wouldn’t think of here, I think they can be also called memories? I’m not sure and I feel weird describing it but just hear me out it felt real and natural, just how shifting should be.

But yeah I will be making it to my dr fully next time.

It feels also weird to say I shifted like whatttt ??? I did it???

　　　　things that won't stop you from shifting

　꒰ putting your dr on a pedestal , does not exist. it is not some glass castle suspended in the ether. it is a place like any other, as accessible as a room you haven’t walked into yet.　　

　꒰ fantasising about your dr , does not matter. your brain is not a courtroom and you are not on trial for thought crimes. imagining a place does not exile you from it.　　

　꒰ not knowing everything about your dr , won't impact. you do not need to be a historian of your own life. you do not need to have memorised the census records and economic structures of a world you are simply in.　

　꒰ being too attached to your dr , does not ruin it. urgency does not dismantle possibility. the sky does not fold in on itself every time someone desperately wants rain.　　

　꒰ not being "calm enough" , no one is breathing monkishly through their nose 24/7. you are not required to be an unmoved river stone. people shift after a long day at work. people shift mid-existential crisis. it is not yoga, it is not meditation, it is a thing that happens when it happens.　　

　꒰ doubting yourself from time to time , irrelevant. you do not need to pass a faith test. you do not need to be baptised in unwavering conviction. you just need to assume. doubt is a background noise, not a locked door.　　

　꒰ external validation , unnecessary. your reality is not waiting for someone else to confirm its legitimacy. you do not need a jury of peers nodding solemnly at your experiences. this is not an academic dissertation. you do not need footnotes and sources and a professor’s approval.　　

　꒰ "trying too hard" , not a thing. effort does not push it further away. want does not make it shy away. this is not an uncatchable fish. this is not a paradox where wanting something too much means you will never have it.　　

　꒰ failing to shift multiple times , irrelevant. past attempts do not predict future outcomes. you are not an athlete counting losses. you are not a gambler on a losing streak. every attempt is new. every moment is unburdened by the weight of the last one. 　

　꒰ an inconsistent sleep schedule , doesn’t matter. you are not being graded on your circadian rhythm. shifting does not belong exclusively to people with 8 hours of uninterrupted rem. 　

　꒰ using multiple shifting methods , neutral. you are not hexing yourself by switching it up. they are not magic spells, they are just tools. they are ways to organise your approach, not laws of the universe.　

　꒰ shifting while sick or in pain , possible. you do not need to be in peak physical condition. you are not signing up for a marathon, you are existing. bodies exist in all states. you are allowed to exist in all states.　

　꒰ not “feeling close” to shifting , doesn’t mean anything. shifting is not a feeling to be unlocked. you do not need to sense it coming like a change in the weather. it does not always announce itself.　

　꒰ having trouble visualising , won’t stop you. not everyone sees things like a movie in their head. imagination is not just images. it’s thoughts, impressions, instincts. a blind person can shift. a person with aphantasia can shift.　

　꒰ not affirming constantly , does not matter. you do not need to chant like a monk or plead sweet nothings into the void 24/7.　

　꒰ being distracted mid-shifting attempt , not fatal. you are not required to have monk-like focus. people shift thinking about their homework. people shift thinking about dinner. people shift thinking about absolutely nothing at all.　

　꒰ not having a specific shifting method , does not stop you. people shift lying down. people shift sitting up. people shift standing. people shift in moving cars. you do not need a formula to do something natural.　

STOP DOING THIS IN YOUR MANIFESTATION!!

Ok so yk that I love robotic affirming, so there's one thing I've noticed that a lot of you people do that you don't even realise that this is the reason why manifestation isn't working for you.

You affirm religiously for a week or so and then turn back and think - I've been affirmimg for a week or two why isn't it here yet?

I mean like seriously dude??!! Why? Why do you do that to yourself? Telling yourself how you have all week long and then turning back to check where it is? How does that work? How does that make any sense. You're literally contradicting yourself and your affirmations. And btw why are you looking at the 3d for confirmation? I mean c'mon. You already have it. It's already done. Imagination is the real reality. You are the validation.

I understand that most of you guys affirm to try to manifest what you want. But that's not it. You are affirming to just tell yourself that you already have it. That's it. You already have it. Even if you don't believe in your affirmations, that's alright. Just repeat it. Persist in your new story. You are the validation. You are the validation that what you want is yours. Stop giving up. You can't affirm for a week and then give up and start doubting when it's gonna happen. Stop being so double minded.

There are only two sides to a desire - You either have it or you don't. There is no in between. This isn't about having some movement or getting a partial amount of money or anything like that nope. You either HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T.

Choose your side of the story. That's it
