Shifting Methods - Blog Posts
I didn’t try to shift last night at all, I actually went to be and woke up at 3 am, stood up for a few hours and went back to bed at 5.
I was in a very light sleep so I’m unsure how it happened. And I didn’t even shift to an alternate universe just some random one? And it was quite short, I could tell I was in a light sleep because I was unsure if certain actions would pull me back although I was sure it was me shifting.
One time I thought I did get pulled back, heard my brother talking and everything and when I woke up it was similar to the first time I was there in this random shifted reality. Only thing different was the choices I made.
It might sound like a lucid dream but I could feel my body, I remember being in there like ‘holy shit I just shifted, it really does exist’.
I wasn’t me in this shifted reality though, nothing seemed set in stone. It still had the uneasiness of a dream because I wasn’t myself and everyone’s faces kept changing although I knew for sure they were the same person.
I understand why people put so much detail into their script now, should I try going to bed early again and then waking up, staying up, trying to shift again lol to my desired reality?
Okay okay so last night I was trying to shift(I didn’t but I could feel that I almost did).
Instead I felt as if I was in a dream and I was in the front of the line about to check out my groceries and there was someone behind me so I awkwardly laughed and was like ‘I don’t even remember driving here. Is this a dream or something?’
I think I messed up with this, some part of me felt like I was about to shift but the woman behind me just stared at me and said ‘yes’. So like I was fully conscious then, trying to shift realities but right before the cashier gave me a total I woke up.
Anyone have something like this?
AGG I’m so scared! OK so I found the most beautiful house ever for my DR and I love it but it’s not every single room so what’s gonna happen when I get there? Is there gonna be no hallways? I’m so scared!!

Betty Erickson Self-Hypnosis Technique
Okay, because @moonwillow473737 (sorry, your account isn't showing up to tag) asked, and nobody ever asks me anything, I'm writing this step by step guide on one of the most famous (and misused) self-hypnosis techniques out there: The Betty Erickson Method, also known as the 54321 Method. It was invented by the wife of American psychologist and psychiatrist Milton Erickson and is widely renowned as one of the best, and easiest self hypnosis techniques out there.
Once we get into the steps, you might notice the technique sounds familiar to you, as many psychologists recommend a variation of it as a grounding technique, and some shifters have attempted to include it in their methods. HOWEVER, I will point out that most people are doing it wrong, so if you think you already know how it works, I invite you to read on anyway and check your technique.
The Steps
The basic technique is pretty straightforward:
It's recommended that you have a plan for what you're going to do once you're hypnotised. Come up with your affirmations/suggestions ahead of time and repeat them to yourself a few times so you know you'll remember them when you're a dopey hypnotised mess.
Get into a comfortable position somewhere you can relax without being interrupted.
Keeping your head and body still, look around your room for 5 things you can see.
Repeat with 5 things you can hear.
Repeat with 5 things you can feel.
Then repeat steps 3-5 with 4 things you can see, hear and feel. Then 3, 2, and finally 1.
What Most People Get Wrong
These are the most common ways I've seen people get this technique wrong before:
Bringing in extra senses
Taste and Smell are very difficult senses to work with, and trying to find MULTIPLE things you can taste at any one time is insane. They're great for enhancing a visualisation session, but they're not helpful here.
Not using repetition
The most common mistake I see is people going "5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel" and so on, rather than the above method. Focusing on each sense multiple times is important, for multiple reasons:
It makes the technique last longer, giving your mind time to settle into the rhythm.
It slowly narrows in your focus. You start out being aware of 5 things for each sense, then 4, then 3 and so on, until you've phased them all out and are focused inwards.
Repetitive tasks lull your brain into a sleepy state, which is what we want when we're working with hypnotic suggestions.
Examples
The more specific you can make the things you're noticing, the better. So here are some examples to help you.
Sight
Shadows on the wall
Beams of light coming through the window
The movement of a fan blade
Leaves moving in the breeze
Hearing
Your breath leaving your lungs
The Inner Sound - often manifests as a high pitched ringing that only appears when you relax or try to meditate. (Note: This is NOT tinnitus. Tinnitus is present at all times, often very difficult to ignore, and does not go away as soon as you stop paying attention to it.)
Your bedroom fan, if you have one
The breeze
Cars going past on the street
Birds singing
Touch
The weight of your blanket
The texture of your mattress
The sensation of your chest moving as you breathe
Air moving around your room
The feeling of your clothes on your skin
The weight of your glasses on your face (if you're wearing any)
Finally
I had a few more things I was going to say but, honestly, this is plenty. If it doesn't work the first time, try again. If you think you can't do it because you have ADHD - you're wrong, because I have clinically diagnosed, combination type ADHD and I can do it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, me and my boyfriend are going to the zoo tomorrow and it took me 90 damn minutes to write this when it was supposed to be quick and now it's nearly midnight. Good luck and good night.
One of my shifting pet peeves is that so many people call guided meditations, soundscapes and subliminal hypnosis videos by the same name. Like if it's any kind of shifting video whatsoever it's a "subliminal" now, no matter the contents. 🙄

Okay I've been missing for a bit because I was trying something new that I saw on YouTube.
My OG plan died because I got bored of the DR I was shifting to and couldn't make myself keep daydreaming about it. But then I was on the Astral Projection subreddit and saw people talking about this one really helpful community member's YouTube channel. I decided to check it out and saw he had a video basically centred around "last ditch efforts to help you astral project". And since I know some people have managed to shift through astral projection, I've been trying it for the last three days.
What I basically did was ground myself. And no, I don't mean I molested every cushion in my living room or tried to make myself smell vanilla, I mean I treated myself like a naughty child and took away everything I considered fun and stimulating except for the knitting projects I'm working on. Every time I got frustrated or wanted to take a break and eat a nice snack or watch some TV I would tell myself, "Too bad. No snacks until you shift. No TV until you shift."
And let me tell you, literally day one I got results. After one trip to the supermarket with my boyfriend lamenting the fact I couldn't buy donuts or macarons or any of the nice things I was walking past, I went to sleep that night and had my first ever false awakening. Literally I have never had one in my life before, I try this and BAM!
But it was so much more than that.
I was struggling to sleep, so I put on an Alunir video because I find her voice really relaxing and I figured that even if I didn't shift from it I'd still fall asleep. I had random dreams for a bit that I don't remember, but then I was suddenly lying in my childhood bed at my parents' old house. As I was looking around the room I heard Alunir's voice still playing through my sleep mask and that made me realise I was dreaming.
Obviously as soon as I realised that I closed my eyes in the dream and tried to follow along with the prompts and visualise my DR, but everything started to shake and I heard growling and I got scared enough to wake up. Which is incredibly annoying because if you know anything about astral projection THOSE ARE TWO REALLY COMMON THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE RIGHT BEFORE THEY LEAVE THEIR BODY.
So I'm super mad that I got too scared and woke myself up, but at the same time I'm really excited because I think that's the most progress I've had in a long long time.
I didn't have anymore progress last night but it was really hot and I struggled to sleep. We just had a storm and things have cooled down a bit so I'm hoping tonight will be better. Wish me luck!!

Obviously because of this method I've mostly been on a social media ban but I figured I'd give a quick update to keep the blog active.
scared shitless but its ok..
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VOID STATE AND THE VOID:
tag: @aestheticlizalis
As always, I will love to hear your thoughts! and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them! If you liked it, leave a comment or reblog (that is always appreciated!). if you are intrested in more method check the masterlist!
Every time I end up talking about the void state, there is a part of me that tends to raise awareness about the void itself. It is a thing the void does not help you manifest, like the void state. In this post, I will try my best to explain how much these two things are truly different.
WARNING: COGNITO HAZARD (For those who do not know, a cognito hazard is a term used to describe an image, pattern, sound, or any other kind of sensory signal that directly causes harmful or undesired physiological or physical effects to one who senses or perceives it. (It is specifically used as a warning when talking about "forced awakening" things like the void.)
You are free to believe or not believe every word I will say in this post, and you are free to not believe every word I say. If, while reading this, you start to feel a negative emotion or a sensation as if you are lost or bodily or emotionally sick, DO NOT CONTINUE READING.
let's get deeper in this rabbit hole shall we?
i will talk breefly about the void state and then i will get in a more detailed way into what the void is, just because i aready explained the void state many times.
the void state:
is a state of deep meditation where you feel like floating and feel nothingness embodies you, making you feel one with the universe helping you to manifest. (Click the name if you actually want to know more.)
the void:
The void is nothing and everything at the same time. Let me explain better: the void is a place where everything is possible and exists, but at the same time is impossible and does not exist. The thing is, the void in itself is a pass to every other dimension because every dimension resides in the void, even the cursed ones or the ones that never will be or never were timelines. As a person with a lot of experience in the void itself, I will tell you that it is not a nice place. Every kind of entity can catch you, good or evil, whatever they might be. As mere humans in the void, we are exposed to a lot of deep-rooted energy that corrupts our bodies in the long run.
As humans, in the void, we can only "survive" in the backrooms.
what is a backroom?
One thing that is definitely more popular than the void itself are the backrooms that reside in the void. The backrooms became popular around 2012 as a SCP thing as images of liminal spaces. But I assure you, they are pretty much real, and they have many levels, not in a specific order. On every level, we can find different things and different entities, as mentioned before. We can find the good ones that will try to keep you safe and the bad ones that will literally try to kill you.
I will also add that the backroom exists because we are the front room, so for every timeline in existence, there is a backroom, and much like the universe, the void is pretty much endless, so there are infinite possibilities for the frontroom and the backroom.
why im i telling you this?
because I talk from experience, and let me tell you some of them were not fun. Still to this day, when I go to sleep, I find myself in the void. Bruh, I don't know how it simply happens. And that's been my life since I was 14 years old. I had my time to understand and learn a few rules to exit the backrooms fast enough or not to be killed.
I will put them at the end, but first, a little check on the main differences that we found out about the void state and the void itself:
The void state is a meditation; the void is an "endless place.".
The void can be a dangerous place, but the void state is harmless.
The void state helps us connect with the universe; the void is not used to manifest.
The void is a constant state of rooted energy, which means, in more basic words, that the energy in the void is dirty, and on the long run, a normal human will not "survaive.". In the void state, it is your energy.
In the void state, we find only ourselves; in the void, we can find an endless amount of dimensions, timelines, frontrooms and backrooms, entities, and liminal spaces. Some are all put together.
If you decide to go into the void state, it is a conscious decision. You can mistakenly enter the void by just falling asleep.
Those are the main differences, just because I can't say much more about the void itself because, as said before, it is a forced awakening, and I don't want people to feel sick with too much information.
if by mystake you enter the backrooms here some rules that will help you get out faster:
Don't scream; you will give off your location to any type of entity. In whatever level you enter, you will find the exit in the same level.
Not every level is scary. Some have flowers and are pretty; others are simple rooms. Those levels are safe as long as you don't hurt yourself. Be careful.
Don't take stairs, and don't jump in holes or on poles. Again, you will find the exit on the same level as you entered.
If you see fluffy entities, look at their eyes first. If the eyes are blue, they are friendly; any other color is to be avoided.
There is only one entity that is 100% friendly and will help you. It looks like a shadow with no features; it does not talk, but you will understand her.
If you hear a sound, go in the opposite direction; if you feel like a sound surrounds you, hide and stay still no matter what; some entities don't have eyes.
If you can't find the exit, pray to whatever god you believe in, and good entities will find you and help you.
On rare occasions, you might find other humans; don't trust them; they are no longer humans.
and I think that I said everything that has to be said. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them, and I hope you did not feel sick or do any negative things from this post.
im is gonna lucid dream either I shift while I am or I don’t I’ll thug it out (cry)
filler bi-han image 😞
I hate when people say shifting realities isn’t that serious and that worst case scenario you don’t shift, like but I need to shift. I can’t live a boring civilian life I want to experience adventure and I’m scared of losing that opportunity but it’s also getting harder to believe. Can someone who claims they’ve shifted, please please please, give me a genuine answer if it’s real. :(

what is the reticular activating system and does it relate to shifting?
it’s been a minute!! i’m back!
DISCLAIMER: i am not a neurologist i am a psych student who has studied some neuro in classes and has done personal research. since this is not my exact expertise and i am not a professional on this field, there may be inaccuracies here and there but i am doing my best with what i have learned.
watch this tiktok for more information on this
︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶
the reticular activating system or RAS is a part of the brain that is responsible for many things that can be related to shifting
one thing it is responsible for is the time between sleep and wakefulness which is a prime time to shift— similar to the state between awake and dreaming. the reasoning is explained here.
︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶
the RAS helps with pattern recognition and specific focus, (among other things) so if you see a sign or thing that reminds you of shifting or of your dr the RAS will cause you to notice it more than you usually would.
this makes it seem to you like you are seeing more of such thing, but really you’re just becoming aware of it.
imagine you want a specific car: you are gonna start noticing that car more when you see it
this does not mean this is not proof of signs you are close to your dr, because it means this part of your brain is aware of your intention and noticing things that align with it.
︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶
the RAS is also responsible for filtering sensory stimuli (for example a light might make a buzzing sound in a room and often you won’t hear it at all times because this part of the brain)
this part of the brain being responsible for both sensory filtering and the transition between wakefulness and sleep it is also responsible for stimuli seeping into dreams (which I have a method based on so follow to see that!)
︶⊹︶︶⠀୨୧⠀︶︶⊹︶
normally, sleep starts in non-rem stages, then moves into rem and the rem stage often get longer throughout the duration of the night.
when you are in the third stage of non-rem sleep, which is deep sleep, your senses are temporarily turned off. i believe and have seen it to be true that when you wake up during rem and go back into a dream you become more aware of your senses and what is going on around your body, because you had your senses turned back on when waking and cut out deep sleep so they stay partially on (just my theory)
“During sleep, the reticular thalamic nucleus reduces the flow of sensory activity to the cerebral cortex through inhibition of the thalamus.” this explains that there is an inhibition of sensory activity during sleep, which is heavier during deep sleep.

lucid dreaming 101: what is a false awakening?
┈┈・୨ ✦ ୧・┈┈
a false awakening is exactly what it sounds like. It is a dream where in the dream you "wake up" in a bed. these dreams are often confusing and disorienting. I have found these dreams are more common since I have started trying to have lucid dreams i control.
┈┈・୨ ✦ ୧・┈┈
it seems like, for me at least, these dreams exist as my dreams way of keeping me from becoming lucid. these dreams make it hard to get lucid, because they often make you think you've woken up.
a way you can combat this is to reality check when you wake up to reality check in order to prove to yourself you aren't dreaming.
┈┈・୨ ✦ ୧・┈┈
my new method is scaring myself into my dr by watching news reports of the fucked up president fuck this fucked to country even more
scared of my dr? shouldnt be! it’s far scarier staying here!!
i’m in the most expensive state can’t get a job here with the degree i just paid tens of thousands of dollars for, can’t get an apartment here, can’t be with my gf.
gotta shift!!!
what is rem sleep activation and how does it relate to shifting? pt 1
my belief is that all sleep methods involve some form of a dream state that shifts you. it is my personal belief is that rem sleep is the key to shifting many people do not know about.
rem sleep, or dream sleep, occurs about every 90 minutes and often gradually grows longer each time and it was when dreams occur.
if you are able to “activate” a long rem sleep phase- aka interrupt it by waking up during it, it would help with shifting is a couple reasons.
when in interrupted rem sleep, or rem sleep activation, which is also known as wake back to bed in lucid dreaming circles, your brain is releasing theta brainwaves, which means the left side (or more logical side) is temporarily “turned off” and the right is more dominant since it is used to create dreams.
this theta state also known in shifting as the void state which i’m sure you’re familiar with is a deep state of self hypnosis meaning you are more susceptible to the information that you’re told. this is especially since the logical side of the brain is less active.
many people shift when waking in the night and simply intending to shift.
from this rem activated state you can do many things (most popularly lucid dream) the reason is, waking during rem sleep, guarantees you will directly enter a dream when you go back to bed and you can do so consciously.
part II will discuss how to get to this state, how to know you're in it, and how to shift from it <3 like, reblog, and follow to see more content like this (including part II) and as always comment with any questions <33

i got lucid in my nap just now. twice.
i was very aware yet forgot my shifting intention and questioned if i were actually lucid.
this happens all the time i didn’t even try to get lucid i didnt do any method.
this happens to me all. the. time.
this is what i mean when i say my methods work but havent gotten me to shift due to my own issues.
do better than me!
when it comes to my advice do as i say not as i do…
lucid dreaming 101: what are reality checks?
・───・・✦・・───・
most people live life in autopilot, are not often consciously aware of everything, and do not question their surroundings.
・───・・✦・・───・ reality checking is a method of lucid dreaming where you question your surroundings during your waking life with the hope of doing the same action in your dreams in order to become lucid.
the point of a reality check is to prove that you are not dreaming.
your mind is going to go along with dreaming as if it’s real life unless you are lucid.
you have to do a reality check that would not “pass” in a dream but would in real life.
・───・・✦・・───・
common examples of reality checks are: trying to push your fingers through your palm or trying to breathe with your nose pinched.
you have to question if you are dreaming then do an action like this to prove that you are not.
you cannot just assume you are not dreaming or you will not become lucid.
・───・・✦・・───・
the reason reality checks work, is because it is increasing your awareness while awake and doing a repetitive action while awake will lead to it happening eventually in your dream.
dreams also tend to make little sense, plop you in the middle of something, and don’t explain what’s going on
so a helpful method i have seen is: throughout your day, stop and ask yourself “where am i? what am i doing? what was i doing before this? how did i get here?” in order to prove you are not dreaming, because often you will find you cannot answer these questions, or they make no sense when you’re dreaming.
・───・・✦・・───・
these actions must be performed several times a day and most likely for several days.
i have found it works best to reality check when something seems off in your cr, something happens that doesn’t usually, or something reminds you of your dr.
for example: i walked by a girl watching greys anatomy in my dining hall and since that’s my dr, i reality checked to make sure i wasn’t dreaming.
i, and many others, have found this method to be very successful for me personally getting lucid, and it has led me to my dreams where i’ve made portals and tried to shift.

lucid dreaming 101: what is lucid dreaming and how can you shift with it?
︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶
a lucid dream is a dream you are consciously aware during for any period of time.
︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶
there is a shifting method where you shift through lucid dreaming which is a method i focus much of my research and attention on.
there are various ways to shift via a lucid dream, such as making a portal or opening a door with the intention for it to take you to your dr
you can also become lucid and simply affirm, your focus in these dreams is to have your shifting intention carried to your dream state in order to shift with it.
i have managed to do both these methods and others but have not shifted through them due to my own issues.
︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶
lucid dreaming comes natural to some people, but not everyone. for many people it is a skill that takes consistent practice and time.
i have also found in my personal experience that there are different levels of dream awareness. (which i will look into and post about)
also just an fyi: if you have ever been lucid in a dream but been unable to control your dream, don’t worry. lucidity and control are separate.
︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶
there are various methods for lucid dreaming i will discuss in another post. if you have any questions comment them! <3
all i want my dr gf. i don’t even wanna date in this reality i just want her. i know a lot of you guys get it. 😪
what is prospective memory and how can it help you shift?
pt 1: not lucid dreaming method specific
the article “How to Have More Lucid Dreams with Prospective Memory” By Rebecca Casale states that,
“Having good prospective memory is like hearing an alarm going off inside your head just when you need it. It shouts with an inaudible voice: REMEMBER TO DO THAT THING, NOW!”
︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵
there is a shifting hack i’ve seen where you set small intentions throughout the day this is a very good practice for shifting because it consciously activates the prospective memory.
prospective memory is defined as “a form of memory that involves remembering to perform a planned action or recall a planned intention at some future point in time."
an example is:
you wake up, and you think of what you are going to do today. you realize you have to go grocery shopping and then make lunch by noon. you have set this memory cue into your mind so when you see the clock near noon you know to have lunch prepared.
︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵
intentionally pay attention to things you’re doing and possibly even set a timed routine for certain things.
setting small intentions and then fulfilling them will train the brain to actively use the prospective memory, so that when you set a strong intention to shift, it will increase your odds.
here’s an example:
for the day you have to study for a test, go to lunch with a friend, and take a shower. if you were to practice this you can set the intention by thinking about how you will do it at such time (you can also say it out loud or write it to further establish the intention)
“today i’m going to shower in the morning at 10am, go to lunch with my friend at noon, then study from 5-7.”
︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵
once you establish these things add:
“tonight i am going to shift to my desired reality”
actively notice as you fulfill these intentions and you can even say it out loud as you do things so your brain is taking note of these intentions being carried out.
for example: “i am at lunch with my friend.”
this will theoretically help your brain to be more willing to complete your intention of shifting.
like many things, this will require time and effort and may not work right away but try it out and let me know how it goes!!
comment if you have any questions <3
part II will be about how to use this for the lucid dreaming method
The menstrual cycle and letting go
my thoughts and confessions about how periods relates to shifting; nothing is fact
The gel began to warm up against my skin, the blanket covering my chest shielded me from the man giving me the ultrasound. The stick poked at my side, under my breast and then the place where my spleen should have been; I wasn’t born with one. This happens a lot when you come out with a heart defect. The nurse wasn’t looking for a baby but for the beats of my own heart. He sounded embarrassed whenever he told me to move positions or when he left the room, so I could change into a gown. His nature reminded me of when I was in middle school and a boy would agonizingly ask me out because of a dare. After it was done, I peeled the stickers off my body, wiped the gel away, got dressed, and made my way to the room where I was supposed to wait for my doctor. Like usual, the wait was longer than the interaction. She told me everything looked fine, I was healthy, and asked if I was getting regular exercise. After a monotonous conversation about figure skating, my mother's voice chimed in, asking about an IUD.
Several months ago, I was debating getting one to prevent my period. I get very emotional during my period; it’s all very painful. I scripted them to be very light in my realities, so I wouldn’t have to deal with the tough parts. I was wondering why I still wanted to keep it; I notice many don’t. But I noticed that all my life my view on bleeding was that of a burden. I laughed alongside other women who cursed Eve's name, I groaned with my mother whenever she was on hers, and I never considered the reasons for tracking it. I never looked at it in any positive way.
A month or two ago, the feelings it brought were so heavy the moment I stood, I felt every emotion that I had been burying in me the days prior release from my thighs; I was so sore, like I would crumble. I lay down and cried. Then I started to notice that when I bleed I could feel all the things I’ve held onto leave my body, physically and emotionally. It’s when I noticed this I stopped being shameful of my period and started welcoming it. Tiny rant: I realized I had a negative view of my period because of the many men who deemed it as sinful and disgusting; something that women should be ashamed of. I didn’t even realize this, and this is coming from someone who regularly deconstructs societal norms; that's how ingrained it was in my mind..sigh
Before I started regularly shifting, I often held grudges. I never let go of anything anybody ever did to me; good or bad. Now I am not saying that you won’t shift if you do this; I am talking about myself personally. I had heard of the term letting go here and there. In the title of posts I liked to bookmark for later but never actually read, and in Reddit posts about how it changed the way they view shifting. But I never really understood what they were talking about. I had read about this girl who used her dreams to discover her blockages and such, but I didn’t have any intention of working on that. Because frankly, I didn’t think I had any. Ironically, that night I had two dreams about two people wronging me.
One dream was with my biological father, he was very abusive. After his yelling and hitting, I ran away, climbed a highway wall and ended up walking along a dried-out river taking photos along the way. At the end of the dream, I was talking with my mom in the car.
The other dream was with my stepfather. My mother was ignoring me and dismissing the fight. In this dream, I acted like a child alongside him. I was screaming like a toddler, throwing a fit because I wasn’t getting what I wanted. I don’t even remember what we were fighting about. But I had woken up from that dream realizing that they only mattered if I had put my energy into them. The problem was fixed when I didn’t pay mind to it, but it remained when I engaged with it. That's when I got it. Letting go isn’t about forcing yourself to forget–it’s about not engaging. I used to have an opinion on these things, but now they’re just people I once knew. When a thought about them pops up, I don’t fight it or feed into it. I just let it come and go. For me, letting go is refusing to dwell on shit that doesn’t matter. You’re choosing to step into a new reality, so why waste energy on one that doesn't serve you?
It seems to relate, if you think about it in a poetic way. The moment I started understanding what was happening to me during my period, I also understood how my emotions were holding me back. It’s that stage of letting the emotions flow out and then be done with it. Be with them and let them go on their way. I see my period differently than before. I sat on the couch with my mom, it was early, we were the only ones awake. It was when she was talking about how her period came early I interrupted saying I changed my mind; I don’t want an IUD. It’s natural, my body lives by the phases it produces so why would I want to stop it? Now, I felt that stopping it would do more harm than good, like I wouldn’t have the chance to let go of anything. That all of my burdens would be stuck in my thighs feasting on my legs refusing to let me walk. My grudges that stayed in place long before those two dreams prevented me from the best outcome in this reality. When I started putting my energy into better things instead of past events I received an apology and finally parted ways with another.
Whenever I have a negative or positive thought about past grievances I don’t fight or feed into it, I let it come and move on. Don't dwell.
I know that methods are not necessary to shift, but does anyone know any awake methods? I've never tried any and I'm giving it a shot

𖹭.ᐟ the main focus of this blog is 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, but I also have some interest in 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭, 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭 and 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. So I might from time to time mention something about it.
𖹭.ᐟ I'm a 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫, so as soon as I shift to my dr I will not be coming back to this reality. This being said if I am not active in this account for more than two months you can correctly assume that I most likely have permashifted to my dr.
𖹭.ᐟ as much as I enjoy talking about my shifting experiences I will not go into detail about my dr's because there are very personal to me and I don't feel comfortable talking about them.
𖹭.ᐟ I have high interest in learning and studying about the universe and how it works, so often I will come here with some of my thoughs about it.
!! This being said if you have a problem with any of the things mentioned in my introduction do not interact with my account !!
