After You Shifted For 27 Years, How Long Had Passed In Your Cr?

Shifting and using LOA with OCD

I feel like it's important to talk about how harmful it can be to ignore this subject. So if you have ocd or anxiety and still want to shift or use loa this post is for you. I want to stress that it is ok to worry about intrusive thoughts. Just because you dwell on an obssesion does not mean its going to manifest. However, I still feel the need to share ways you can prevent your intrusive thoughts from making you stress while shifting and using loa. First we need to fully know what we are dealing with and then how to fix the issue.

If you are not aware, OCD has four stages:

Obssesion - Unwanted, intrusive, and distressing thoughts, images or urges. (sometimes these thoughts are not clear and can just feel like impending doom without reason.) These intrusions are unwanted and are sent from your areas of your brain including the prefrontal cortex (orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate cortexes), basal ganglia, and thalamus. !!!

Anxiety - Intense fear and discomfort triggered by the obssesions. Dwelling on the thought, worring that you are a bad person by thinking a certian thing ( you are not ) or stressing that the intrusive thought will happen.

Compulsion - Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce the anxiety caused from these thoughts. ex; counting in your head, doing something untill it feels "even", washing your hands a certian amount of times, or even yelling and shunning the thought out of your head.

Temporary relief - The compulsions provide temporary relief from the anxiety, reinforcing the cycle. Once you do your compulsion it tricks your mind into thinking that these obssesions pose a real danger, and that compulsions are necessary in order to be safe. (these are what we want to stop so we can break the cycle.) And yes, telling the thought to go away and cursing at it is also a compulsion.

I'm going to start this of by saying, compulsions are bad. Please try not to give into them. I know it's hard at first and you will feel scared and uncomfortable but thats the point. You have to undo the cycle to build a new one. Compulsions give the intrusive thoughts meaning. We don't want this. If you give the thought meaning or show feelings to it your brain is going to think its important therefore it will keep sending you the thought. There is two ways to stop this, Ignore the thought, or decunsruct the thought (aka ERP.)

Ignoring the thought can go like this: Label the thought as intrusive but do not add emotion to it. But also don't push it away Ex; "This is an intrustive thought, I am going to think about something else now." If the thought becomes overwhelming and you can't get away from it, start manually breathing. This will distract your brain. We want to act like the thought is like any other thought you would have. The avarge human has about 60,000 thoughts a day. Do we remeber all of these? Of course not. This is because we dont attach any emotion or dwell on them. It's kind of ironic because this method is basically using loa. If we act like the thought is usless and not important it will become just that and our brain will stop sending us the thought.

Decunstructing the thought or exposing and response prevention (erp) can be a little more difficult. The goal here is to overcome the fear and expose our selves to the intrusive thoughts completely. I know it sounds scary but remeber if you have no intention of manifesting said thought then it simply won't manifest. (an intrusive thought saying you have intention does not count don't worry) I also use this to re script traumatic events or nightmares. Imagery rescripting is what I am going to call this method of moving away from your intrusive thoughts. Imagery Rescripting is a technique that is often used in therapy to deal with upsetting or significant images that occupy our mind and play a part in keeping our anxiety going. The problematic images that people often struggle with can be memories of the past, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts. You have probably noticed that with all of your intrusive thoughts or images, the common response is to try to avoid the image, to push it away, to shun it out of our minds. This is a very understandable reaction, unfortunately avoiding these thoughts and using a compulsion usually makes it worse. It makes us very fearful of the thought itself, giving the intrusive thoughts power over you, and therefore the thought becomes something more than a "just a thought." By rescripting you are no longer avoiding them. Instead you are actively approaching them. You run the full image/thought in your head and then re write it. You can do this however you want. Rescripting it can range from complete fantasy or staying in the guidelines of this reality. Ex; Inflating the image and adding different hues to it. Making the scary thing in the image look silly; this takes away power from it. Do you want Hatsune Miku to start e dancing on your fears? She totally can! Adding a comfort character or a s/o to the image and letting them change it for you/comfort you can also work. If it is just a thought I would try and see the full sentence of said thought and then change the letters in your head to make it say something else. Or you can make the letters change into silly little characters..make them dance! Important note - You have to first deal with the intrusive thought/image. You cannot skip over this part or else it will just be a compulsion. If it is to triggring have someone else in the room while you do it so they can wake you up from the visualization and help you ground yourself. I would only do this method if you know for a fact that you are ready to face your intrusive thoughts head on.

Crying or experiencing hard emotions while doing ERP is normal. Though, I did this alone, I would recommend someone you trust is there while you are doing it so if things get too overwhelming they can help you. I as well have ocd so most of this is from my personal experience.

If you have any questions about this my asks are open. :)

hi !! i hope you’re having a good day ^^

I hope this doesn’t take much up your time or upset you in any way. If anything I say sounded stupid or a waste of time, I am terribly sorry!!

So this question has been stuck in my head for quite some time now. How come when we shift our subconscious into another reality, it takes time. However, when we are in our desired reality, a “safe word/action” or even intention is enough for us to shift back into our current reality. So if we are in our desired reality, is it possible that it may take longer to shift back to our current? even maybe get stuck in it?

Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this !!

Hii ! Thank you so much :)

I think it's the mindset that we have in this reality. We have lived our whole lives here from birth so we are used to it. The same thing happens if you shift to a dr and spend your whole life there. I shift to certain places where I grew up/lived a long life in quicker than others. All it could take for me to shift to one of these lives is just re-playing a memory or simply thinking about it because I am so attached there.

I don't think you could ever get stuck in any reality.

I know it's kinda stupid question, but does our age in this CR matter while shifting, I am above 30 years of age and only see shifters who are at most 22-23 years of age and it kinda makes me feel left and makes me think that shifting is not for me or lets say not as easy as for me as it is for them ☹️.

No question is a stupid one don’t worry.. Your age doesn’t matter at all!!! You can shift whenever wherever ! Mentally I would say I’m around 27 and I shift how I’ve always have. You can shift no matter what as long as you have an awareness. I promise it won’t change anything. :)

I mean think about there are infinite realities and in those there are people who are shifting when they are thousands of years old.. Nothing will stop you.

Hii, how are you? Uhh, English is not my first language so i'm sorry if you don't understand something. While shifting it happens something really weird to me. My forehead feels really really really cold and heavy, I feel like my forehead has SOMETHING on it, like a polished COLD gem on it. Exactly like that. I don't know if that's supossed to be part of shifting or i'm doing something else. But my whole face feels like just WEIRDDD and cold, i feel like there's wind in my face aswell but my windows are closed. Do i explain myself? Is that like a weird symptom or I shifted without knowing? Other thing is; I see like these weird geometric figures while shifting. Like mandalas. What am i even seeing with my eyes closed? This only happens when I do the method btw. Help.

Hi, Im good! :) I understand your question. I think I can help you understand why this is happening. When you do methods you are basically meditating. Meditation leads to altered states of consciousness, because of this the brain is processing information differently. I also experience wind and cold sensations while meditating or shifting. The shapes you are seeing also happen to me sometimes, but for me they feel physical. These things won't stop you from shifting. Since they happen only when you do your method you could view it as something that will help you shift. This is normal many people also experience things like this.

GIRLLLL, OMG THANK UUUUU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME DUMBING IT DOWN FOR ME😭🧎🏻‍♀️(not screaming, just trying to pkace all ky affection in a sentence and not knowing how to😔)

I seriously appreciate you soooo much🩷🫶🏼

also go do your hw!!! you can just read this post if you wanna since I'm trying to figure shi out on my own...🥀

I've noticed that I'm trying to change the 'speck of consiousness that were experiencing right now/current reality'. I'm holding onto the belief that I am in my dr, which is absolutely true, yet am wondering why my consiousness hasn't been reflected yet because I think of the process as instant. I'm a very impatient person. But me shifting or not shouldn't get affected by that. I should probably get rid of trying to control things, but God these circumstances are weird.

I've always felt like what I'm experiencing is my enemy, even after trying to make myself understand that it's really just my reflection. And it is absurd? cause like, I'm literally consiousness. Why am I even acting up when J can do whatever I want? And when I do hold on to the belief that I have stuff, I get humbled...😔🥀

ok don't bother answering to this it's just me rambling and yapping as usual🧎🏻‍♀️

Hiii !!! You are so welcome !!

I can totally understand that even though we are kind of the oppisite ( i would say I'm a pretty patient person and I go with the flow lol )

I feel like going with the flow and allowing things to happen without resistance has helped me a lot tbh !

Also yap however much you want!!

i've got a question! many shifting advice i see say it's okay to let ur mind relax and wander so you don't build up resistance during an attempt. however, ppl also say that the reason ur not shifting is bc ur simply saying ur affirmations and going to sleep.

i'm conflicted here bc aren't those contradictory?? how am i supposed to drift into sleep (and wake up in my dr) without it just being me 'saying affirmations and rolling over'.

i hope this didn't sound too confusing lol! it's a bit of a puzzling thought to write out as well

The people that say "you're not shifting because of ___" are slow and don't know how shifting works. Please do not listen to them. The only thing you need for shifting is an awareness. If you have an awareness you can be aware of anything you want. I find that letting my mind wander helps me relax. Whenever I meditate I focus on one thing, breathing, a noise, how my body feels, etc. I choose one thing to calm my mind and start there and I let my mind wander.

You can shift however you want, If you want to use the method of saying affirmations and rolling over go ahead! The only reason people say that won't work is because they believe that it won't.

Can you please elaborate on this more? I’d love to hear your perspective on the philosophical side of it in more detail!

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I think this post sums up what I meant !

HI! could you tell us more about your lumari dr??

Hello !! oh my god yes thank you so much for asking! I don't really know what you wanna know exactly since i have a bunch of different drs pertaining to lumari but the only ones ive posted about is Forlina and Kirasia. - which are both nations of lumari - I would think your asking about my recent one since its the only one i've talked in detail about.

I don't have names for some of my drs so sorry if this gets confusing. Anyway, like I said I stayed there for about a year and was a student living in a all girls home. We would cook together and divide the chores equally. I fell in love with everything there. The landscapes, the old women who would stop by the home and check up on us, the ocean. I spent most of my time at the beach there. I stayed there for hours. I didn't have to worry about being hurt in any way if I stayed out late. Lumari's society is very caring and polite. Though, I think the people there have a harder time being alone because they are always so connected to others. I think I've said this before, maybe not, drs look different. I'm not talking about the things you see there, but HOW you see it. I wanna say its almost like a filter is over your vision. I could compare this dr to film photography or an early morning if that makes sense. I look forward to go back there and finishing school even though I have no idea what I want to do.

Thinking about it more I don't know how much I want to talk about my kirasia shift, I planned to perma shift there but I ended up just shifting back here after going to a bunch of different drs.. which I kind of regret since Im planning on perma shifting again lol. That dr is very personal to me..

Thank you so much for asking !! <3

i love your account. that’s all! sending love x

this is so sweet! Thank you!!

hey quick question if thats alrighty? lately ive been kinda worried my dr isnt "real". My worries lately are "I can shift but for some reason I cant shift to my dr" beacuase its fictional. could I have a little help w this it would be appreciated!!

Hi,

So, I had this problem too a while back and there is a few solutions I can give you !

My personal opinion is that everybody's drive for anything is their emotions. Connecting your feelings to your dr is a very solid way to shift. What helped me the most was adding emotion to my dr, I would day dream about it and try my best to feel what it would be like to be in that situation or moment. You aren't just a place holder in your reality, you are apart of it - the one perceiving it.

Thinking about how others view you as well. When ever I shift to certian drs I like to think in my s/o's point of view. (you can do this with any one.) And I mean, I really try and think like them, inner monolog and all.

Another option would be taking a step back and take a break from thinking about that dr. Once you come back your brain will be refreashed and you can look at it with new eyes.

I know sometimes our brains like to give us bumps in our thinking, but I can assure you that your dr is real. And you can definitely still shift even if you have that mindset, but I hope you can overcome it!
