What To Do If You Have Not Shifted For +++years

holy shit everything makes so much sense. i was going through your posts and i noticed a theme— you commonly say to "direct your awareness" but my question was to what? but the answer has always been to your DR. i thought i was doing this, but i really wasnt. the problem has always been the same.

in this post, you say that the first change is always that, at some point, you started thinking as your DR self. you also say "...some people expect their 3D to change first, like they're expecting to start feeling their DR with their CR body or something, which (for me) has never been the case."

what im trying to say that is, for many shifters, especially those from shifttok, we expect the first change to be in the environment, not in our thoughts, because 2020-2022 shifting methods always ended with smth like "when you feel your surroundings change, you've shifted" and that was the defining factor for shifting or not. so we dont even think to change our thoughts while in the middle of the method because the confirmation supposedly comes from the senses. it felt like trying to convince yourself that your surroundings have changed but you could still very much feel that your bed was the same. and if you think your bed is the same, you're thinking from your CR. this is how it was for me, at least.

but the confirmation comes from the natural change in thought. thats what sets everything off, if im reading your posts correctly. and that makes a lot of sense. you said theres either pure awareness, absence of awareness, or destabilized awareness. if youre pure awareness, you cant feel the 3D. if you have no awareness, you cant feel the 3D. if you have destabilized awareness, you cant feel the 3D accurately, and even that is enough.

so if you cant feel the 3D at all or accurately, then it cant be the defining factor for shifting. the defining factor here is you.

pls tell me if this doesnt make sense LMFAO

hiii and yes, i think that makes sense! when you are shifting, it is your awareness that shifts, not your CR body. so i think some people may hinder themselves because they're constantly trying to feel their DR with their CR nerves. for some people that might work (i don't actually know) but for others it seems to simply ground them here, focusing on their CR senses. you do not need to make yourself "feel" or fabricate "senses" of DR with your CR body and brain, your awareness will shift to your DR and then your DR body naturally feels and thinks in your DR. that's how i see it anyways!

YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT

YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT.

Don't get your head in those doubts like, 'Oh, what if I can't shift?' That's not possible. You were chosen to know about shifting for a REASON. There are 8.2 BILLION people in this world. Think about it. 8 BILLION people.

Now, how do you feel? Do you feel special? GOOD. Keep feeling that way. Some of you, not all of you, read these posts on Tumblr but don't really READ them.

'Oh, I'm the creator of my universe.' Yes, but do you really UNDERSTAND that? I feel like for some of you, it's like you're in front of a teacher, and each word just goes in one ear and out the other. Now, shifting isn't this ELABORATE and majestic thing that needs to be taught in a specific way. It's not like driving, okay? There are no rules, no directions, just YOU. Understand that it's just YOU.

That drink in your hand? You created that. The computer or phone you're reading this on? You created that. Everything in this world YOU created.

You are doing everything right. You know what I mean.

You will wake up in your DR. Those sleep methods you're doing? They're working perfectly. You aren't just 'close,' you are THERE. You have always been there, since the beginning of whatever. No need to think you are close, because you are there.

'Oh, but what if I don't shift today?' Shifting isn't something that needs to be rushed. Everything will happen eventually. You have shifted before; you know this. You know you need to just let go and let it happen. Don't overcomplicate it. Listen to yourself. Do you know how stupid you sound? Thousands of people have shifted to their DRs, and somehow you can't? That's just rubbish.

'Oh, what if that shift was just a dream?' What dream feels so real that you can feel the bedsheets? What dream looks like your desired reality so perfectly it has everything, even the rings and jewelry your aunt placed there on the dresser? Why did you get up and look in the mirror and see yourself perfectly and clearly? That was REAL. You shifted. Do not doubt yourself.

'But what if shifting is one elaborate joke?' Seriously? That's one of your doubts? People spend months, YEARS, shifting, and you think people are JOKING? You have spent 5 YEARS knowing about shifting and 2 or 3 actively shifting, and you still think it's a joke? YOU have to be joking with those doubts. This isn't like that one movie people suddenly made up on TikTok and started creating a plot, characters, settings, etc.; this is something real. People have been doing this even before you were born. Now, doesn't that doubt sound silly?

Now, you don't have to be perfect. Listen, people have shifted with doubts. But listen here, if you assume it is true, it is true. 'Oh, he's so in love with me.' Yeah, he is! 'Oh, my cat's super distant. Yeah, they are. Your subconscious isn't this mystical entity trying to work against you. It's like a mirror; if you look in that mirror and say, 'I can't shift,' then your subconscious repeats it. It has an IQ of 0. Like a little kid repeating every word and agreeing with your opinions. You tell that little kid, "Oh, I can shift! Everyone shifts." Then it repeats it; it agrees. That's how simple your subconscious is.

Now, what about intentions? Intentions aren't this super complicated ritual; they're just your thoughts. You don't have to write out your thoughts, burn the piece of paper, and bury the scraps in the ground. Just think. 'Oh, I set my intention to shift.' That's literally all you need to do. Your subconscious will look at you and shrug like, 'Oh okay. Let's shift!' And guess what? BOOM. You're in your DR. Simple. Literally so simple.

Now, some of you are like, "Oh, I did that! But I'm still in my CR." Look deep within yourself. Are you scared of the possibility you're going somewhere new? Or, do you expect to wake up in your CR again after doing your method? Really think about it and begin to change. Tell that subconscious that you don't expect to wake up in your CR, or tell it that you aren't scared; you're excited.

Now, as one of my favorite quotes says,

"You are a consciousness with a body, not a body with a consciousness."

Go shift. Go do your method, or just fall asleep and wake up in your DR. It's that simple. And every time you feel doubts, PERSIST. 'Oh, what if—' NOPE. I am going to shift.

You know about shifting for a reason. You can shift. It is INEVITABLE.

Now don't look at me all dumb; you know this. You've heard it a million times. Don't roll your eyes; THINK, and absorb this information.

Now go do whatever silly little thing you are going to do. But just know, you can shift. You WILL shift.

[This whole thing is for me, but I feel like some of you need it as well.]

Hey girly girl, how to shift? Like, I can't reach the void state, so that's out. Methods don't work for me, cause I get frustrated and roll over to sleep. Manifesting IDK IT TAKES AGES... and affirming there my thoughts drift off.. and rn I am unmotivated to shift when I try, but I rlly do WANT to go home. ☹️

　　　　　　　how to shift : your all-in-one guide . . . 　　　　　　　(the only things you have to know…ever !)

i , what even is shifting? shifting is the art of moving your consciousness from one reality to another. it’s not magic, it’s not luck, it’s just focus and belief wrapped in a little cosmic bow. think of it like choosing which movie to watch. you’re the one holding the remote.

ii , forget the void for a sec : the void state is not the only way, nor is it the end-all-be-all. think of it like one specific door in a house with infinite entrances. if the void’s being dramatic, just walk around it. shifting doesn’t need that kind of fanfare. you can shift in any state: sleepy, frustrated, even mid-yawn.

iii , methods, shmethods : methods are tools, not rules. if you’re trying one and it’s not vibing with you, ditch it! think of methods as cute little recipes; if you don’t like what you’re cooking, toss in your own spices. and guess what? you don’t even need a method. your intention is the main character here, and everything else is just the supporting cast.

iv , manifesting doesn’t have to take ages : manifesting isn’t about sitting there like a monk waiting for enlightenment. it’s like planting seeds: you plant them, you water them, and then you trust the sun to do its thing. start small. affirm gently. even a passing thought like, “ugh, i’m so over this reality” is a mini-manifestation in itself. you’re building the vibe brick by brick.

v , affirmations are your sneaky little sidekick : if your thoughts drift, let them. you’re not running a military bootcamp in your brain. affirmations work even when you’re distracted because they’re sneaky like that. say them casually, like you’re humming a song. “i’m already there” or “it’s happening now.” keep it simple and breezy.

vi , unmotivation nation… we’ve all been there : listen, shifting doesn’t demand motivation; it demands surrender. the kind of surrender that’s like, “ok, universe, you win. take me where i need to go.” you’re allowed to rest in the in-between. you’re allowed to feel blah. you’re allowed to be human and divine at the same time.

vii , you already want it? guess what. it’s yours : wanting to go home is half the battle won. the desire is your proof. it’s like your reality is already calling you, whispering your name through the veil. stop thinking of it as trying and start thinking of it as returning. you don’t try to breathe, do you? you just breathe. shifting is the same.

꒰ basic steps, simplified :

◞ set your intention : decide where you’re going and get crystal clear about it. script it out if that helps.

◞ prepare your space : make your environment cozy. this isn’t mandatory, but it helps set the mood.

◞ choose a method or freehand it : julia method, raven method, bla bla bla method, affirming till you fall asleep, visualising, just vibing, it’s all valid.

◞ focus or daydream : picture your dr, feel it, or simply say, “i’m already home.”

◞ surrender : let go of the pressure. relax into the process. let the universe work its magic.

꒰ some final tips :

◞ romanticise the process : make shifting feel dreamy, not stressful. light a candle, sip some tea, wear your favourite socks. vibe check your environment.

◞ detach from the outcome : this isn’t a college exam; you don’t need an a+ in shifting. let the energy flow.

◞ sleepy shifting is underrated : drifting off with your dr in mind? chef’s kiss.

◞ turn frustration into power : that “uuuugh why isn’t it working” energy? channel it into something fierce. you’re the god of your reality. act like it.

that's it. that's literally it. you don't need ANYTHING else except your mind. bam.

remember, you’re not chasing shifting. you’re already holding hands with it, swaying gently in the wind like a little cosmic dance. shifting isn’t something you achieve; it’s something you allow. you’re the prophet of your own life, the controller of the sands. so go forth, messiah in training, and shift like the world is your oyster. because it is.

i read that checking the 3d or reacting to the 3d, only becomes a problems and affects anything if we believe what it's saying and start affirming the opposite of what we want, is that true?

it’s not that checking the 3d itself is a problem, it’s what you do with that information. if you see something you don’t like and go, “oh god, this is real, my manifestations aren’t working,” that’s where you trip up.

but if you see it and think, “irrelevant, already got what i want,” then it’s just background noise.

Hey girll so I know that you talk a lot about embodying your dr self so could you please go through what like a normal shifting attempt looks like for you? Like how do you do that?

#24

I don’t have an in depth or “normal” shifting routine, it’s quite literally different each time. sometimes I put more effort in to embody than not but for you I recommend starting off with basic questions and answers. I actually had a method like this october 2023 posted on my tiktok. where you use askfirmmations to connect (kinda feel like this proves i’ve always believed in embodying before sensing).

what is my name? age?

who are my family members? out of those family members who am I closest to? why?

what is it that I have to do today? why do I have to do it? can I put it off till tomorrow? would I put it off till tomorrow?

get into your brain. you will begin to feel a flow where you don’t have to think about the next question and can just dip into your stream of consciousness naturally. when that is done, you know you are in the state of embodiment.

hii hope you have an amazing day! i know this may seem really simple cause it is but i have a hard time on setting the intention to shift.like i believe on it and that i can,but whenever i try i cant set my intention ``correctly`` or even set one i think. do you have any tips on how to set intention and what it is? tnkss

#7

you’re setting your intention just fine, it’s nothing to setting your intention than just saying you want to do something and doing it.

the difference in it working, however, is resistance. you are likely causing resistance to build up bc you hold onto the belief that setting your intention has yet to work so why would it now? reframe your belief and your intention will work. in order to reframe your belief you must persist in the affirmation that setting your intention has always worked because you always believe in yourself and don’t allow any 3D circumstances take that away from you.

hello emma, I'm new to shifting and I've seen ppl say ignore the 3d and stuff

but isn't shifting instant? as in when you do the sleep method successfully, the next morning you wake up in ur Dr without fail? unlike with affirmations, subs, etc... most ppl usually take a bit of time, especially with "big things"

yes, shifting IS (!!!) instant, but the way you think about it might be making it feel not instant.

shifting ≠ effort or process you don’t make shifting happen. it is the natural result of awareness moving. like blinking, like breathing. you don’t have to “wait” for it or “build up” to it like manifesting in the traditional sense. if you assume you are there, you are.

sleep method & why it works instantly sleep is when awareness is easiest to shift because your senses are already taking a backseat. if you fall asleep knowing you are in your dr, that’s it. that’s the shift. no lag time, no waiting period. if you wake up and think “wait, i’m still here?” that’s just your mind second-guessing itself and reinforcing the 3d you thought you had left.

ignoring the 3d ≠ waiting for it to change. ignoring the 3d doesn’t mean fighting it, it means not letting it dictate reality for you. shifting isn’t about waiting for proof, it’s about assuming the shift has already happened and letting everything else recalibrate accordingly.

“big things take longer” is a limiting belief. you are not on a waiting list for a new identity. time doesn’t make shifting work. assumption does. if you’re treating shifting like a slow manifesting process where you’re hoping it “sticks,” you’re still placing your awareness in the before rather than the after. shifting is only instant when you treat it like it already is.

shifting is always instant. but if you’re checking for proof, you’re shifting (ha) back into a state of questioning instead of knowing. if you do the sleep method with total assumption, you will wake up there. because the assumption itself is the shift.
