HOW I SHIFTED FOR THE FIRST TIME
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. For some context, no, this isn't literally my first time shifting (we shift all the time, remember?) as I've shifted to countless parallel realities and a couple random realities. However, this was the first time I shifted to a reality where it was supposedly fictional (MHA).
So, what did I do?
This. Exactly what I'm doing right now.
You see, every time I was going to bed or idle with my thoughts (doing chores, walking, etc), I would imagine myself writing a success story or telling a friend (luv you @vixilic) about my successful shift. I'd think about how I'd decorate it, how I'd word my sentences, the feeling I'd get from it, things like that. In the time between my last post and now, I had managed to shift by (mainly) doing that.
Before you say, "Isn't that similar to the xyz method/a combination of abc and qrs?" Congratulations! You know so much that you can actually see the different aspects of Loa/shifting being applied. I'm not gonna pretend like I invented this approach, but it is what worked for me (and perhaps for you too).
So, for those who want a coherent, step by step guide on how to do this, look below:
1. Pick a reference Pick something that you're going to base your visualisation off of. Are you going to tell a shifting friend? Your favourite blog? What about writing your own post? Don't stress, you can use more than one
2. Do the damn visualisation Everyday, imagine what it'd be like to tell your success story. What did you do during the day? How were the people in that reality like? How did it feel? Were you nervous, excited, scared? Do this when you wake up and when you're going to sleep. Bonus points for doing this at other times too.
3. Relax This doesn't have to be an instantaneous method and you may not see "results" right away. The whole reason I started doing this in the first place is because I'm pretty busy with school currently and I wanted to do something related to shifting which I didn't have to think about much. Hell, that shift happened on a night where I had no plans, I didn't "try", I just wanted to sleep ๐ญ
Tips:
- this can be compounded with other methods if you wish: subliminals, robotic affirmations, sats, etc - don't stress if your visualisation isn't perfect, feeling is much more key here - on that note, don't try and force a "feeling" either. maybe you're overthinking it or just not in the mood, you don't have to literally feel it - go with the flow and personalise this to yourself. this is a Tumblr post, not a military boot camp - this can be applied to more than just shifting, too

SEMANTICS AND SHIFTING
Lately, I've been seeing a couple posts of people redefining and reworking their understanding of common shifting terms like cr, dr, etc. It interests me on how the language of shifting has begun to "shift" (no pun intended ๐ญ) as the collective understanding of the practice does as well.
Back during the time of peak shifttok, many of these words were used in its most literal sense: it was called CR because it was the reality you reside in; you called it a DR because it's the reality you desired to "go" to. Most people's understanding of shifting were similarly literal (like how you had to have a script or do xyz in order to shift), so the fact that the words we used to describe it were "shallow" reflected that.
However, we've long passed such beliefs, so I find it interesting how our language is adapting to that evolution. For instance, this post by my moot @jealousmartini and subsequent reblogs are noteworthy because of the nuance and exploration we could have. What's stopping us from calling a "dr" our "cr"? Who told us that these words have a degree of separation? Why do we call it a "shift"?
As I see it, these terms are like training wheels. Something to help us usher in understanding and confidence when it comes to riding our metaphorical bikes. Of course, accidents happen. Maybe you fell off the bike because the training wheels were ill fitted; scraped your knee and had to sit out for a while. Maybe you got another set of training wheels, hoping that it may the one that will make you ride a bike. Maybe you've realised that you no longer need them at all. In any case, it's natural to outgrow the need for such terms, and look for others instead.

Where would you be right now if you persisted when you said you would?

โง anyah amelia zabini

her amortentia smelled of vanilla, strawberries, soap, old books, and ink. a man could only dream of smelling her in his amortentia potion. her lips tasted of candy, sugar, and love. her eyes had seen sorrow, hope, and dreams.
โ anyah zabini was the first daughter of joanna zabini and he-who-shall-not-be-named, and the adopted daughter of shalom zabini, she was the younger half sister of blaise zabini and the older half sister of delphini riddle. she was the first riddle and the first zabini to ever be placed in gryffindor.
joanna zabini ๐ฎ loved to say she tried her best as a mother when all she ever really did was cheat on shalom with the men she murdered.
shalom zabini ๐ฎ was the biggest and the baddest in the deatheater business but he loved his children equally...even if one of them wasnโt his.
ZABINI MANOR
her peeps ๐ฎ
theodore nott was the glue that held them all together, they all had a special relationship with theo.
sam nott was her childhood best friend, they did everything together basically from birth.
livia black was the coolest girl in school, her hair was always amazing, her makeup was always flawless, livia was the kind of girl that made all the boys fawn over her and then reject them all in the same day.
mattheo riddle was anyahs uncle, he never said anything to their friends because he knew how awkward she felt about that, thatโs what made mattheo such a great uncle or friend.
lorenzo berkshire was a big, fluffy golden retriever even though he was big and a slytherin he was just a fluffy little dog whining begging for attention.
draco malfoy was like a brother to nyah zabini, sheโd grown up with him, sheโd lived with him, they were family despite their blood.
jeremiah shacklebolt was anyah zabiniโs soulmate, somewhere deep in her heart the love she had for jeremiah never truly left her.
hermione granger had hatred in her heart for anyah, there was no reason except pure hatred. anyah however loved hermione she was smart, pretty, happy. the two were completely opposite about each other.
harry potter was like the missing piece to anyah zabiniโs puzzle when he was brought to hogwarts everyones lives had changed, for better and worse.
ron weasley was a big, lovable, sweetheart, he was kind, and awkward, and funny it was adorable.
fred weasley was like a big prickly thorn that if loved enough became a fluffy pillow.
george weasley was a big goofball, he never listened or cared about getting into trouble. he was outgoing, funny, smart, and tricky.

SCRIPT THEM : ultra-competent, loves you like an older sibling, but isnโt afraid to keep you grounded. could also have a fun quirkโlike, i donโt know, a weakness for bad karaoke. also, i scripted that mine is a duplicant of saul goodman. c'mon, that's golden.

ใใยท. ห เผ NOW READING โ lawyer (your legal eagle).
WHAT THEY DO : reviews all contracts so you donโt accidentally sign your life away to some knockoff brand. also handles the nitty-gritty legal stuffโcopyrights, trademarks, etc. the boring but somehow also "the devil's in the details" stuff.
VIBES : quietly terrifying but has your back 100%. think โiโm getting youย outย of this mess in under three hours.โ

ใใยท. ห เผ NOW READING โ bodyguard (your personal shield).
