Haii I've Always Thought That Shifting Was About Shifting Your Consciousness To Another Reality Yk, Bc

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. :)

collection of recent shifts

2/18/25 

Woke up at 4;30 am, listened to music for a while and the first shift was to my seven saint war dr (personal dr). I was holding a scroll while walking next to my desk in my chambers, it seemed I was trying to find something. I heard the sound of the paper and it made me jump and I came back here. the second I think was to my soul eater dr, I was holding my switch and feeling the buttons on it, it was fading out of my awareness. Last one, I was in my seven saint war dr again and there are these beds that rock back and forth (kind of like a cradle but for adults) and I remember it made me motion sick for some reason, we were in the library and there were people searching for us, the message was carried through the books - it was so weird it was like they were yelling it throughout the shelves - very surreal. Here I have powers gifted from the wind god, and I used them to teleport us to the mountains. I am never using them without  preparation first because they are not fun at all and it was the most nauseating experience of my life. 

2/10/25

I was in a river or a body of water and there were these two giant metal plates and I was trying to move one and it fell against the other one and made a loud noise. It was so pretty, the water looked delectable and the kingdom across the water was so pretty. 

1/24/25 

I was about to fall asleep then was slipping into a very weird political dream, snapped out of it and started to shift. I was rollerblading down the path to the beach in florida where I use to live while I was about to go onto the road a kia soul out of all cars pulls out so I keep to the side walk and I could see the ground very clearly while I was moving, came back here because I was going very fast and it kind of freaked me out. 

2/11/25 

This morning I wanted to go to a space reality. I was doing my usual routine and I shifted to a place where I was a child. I was with another kid. We were climbing up in a crashed spacecraft and I remember wearing a hat that I didn't think was mine. I came back here and then shifted to an alternate reality to the one I was in. I was in my room playing with wooden toys, but someone was coming(?) I remember I was on kelkeo. 

12/26/24 

Idk what my obsession with paper is recently but I shifted last night and was flipping through a book while my husband was standing next to me and I asked him if he taped the important part of it down and then I came back here because I was worried about me falling asleep ( i've been struggling with sleeping lately idk why but anyway I finally fell asleep at sorta normal time) Then, I wanted to go somewhere just now so I played the same music I shifted to last night and went to the same reality and I was laying on my bed trying to sleep and I could hear my husband rifling through my papers and scrolls I like to collect and for some reason my mind got really confused and came back here. 

2/15/25 

I was in bed about to sleep and was just thinking about my s/o and snuggling with them and I love the symptoms I get because my whole body gets tingly and then I’m there. I went there when we were in the middle of kissing, I came back here because I heard a lady’s voice behind me which confused me because we were alone in bed. 

1/16/25 

Early this morning, I was on a bike riding down a hill, I have no idea where I was, the feeling of me peddling down this street was like no other. I didn’t want to be there so I came back here.

Some time later, I was sitting in what I think was either Ryu Voin or an Ostova palace. There were beautiful paintings on the wall in front of me, murals. I was sitting on a chair, I remember feeling content. 

My routine as someone who shifts almost every week. 

There doesn't have to be any pressure on shifting, you don’t have to do it at a specific moment. My routine takes either a moment, a day, or a week. I do specific things in preparation to shift, it isn’t a method, more so a ritual, something to help me align myself with where I want to be.   

I. Bask in who you want to be, spend mornings doing this practice, do it before a nap, before you go to bed, while you eat, etc. Settle in your mind, take this time to be in your desired selfs mind. Think about slow moments, your morning routine, the view outside your window, basking in the sun, anything of the sort; let yourself live in moments from your dr. I've noticed I shift more when I have practiced this throughout the day. 

II. Tell yourself that you are there, that you are indeed experiencing these things. Affirm how many times you feel, you are where you are. Don’t put any pressure on yourself to believe anything, just affirm. Sweep away intrusive thoughts, let them pass and focus on who and where you are. 

III. Each reality has its own soul, familiarize yourself with how your chosen reality feels. Whenever you want to go there invoke this feeling, remember the slow moments, relax and live in your dr. 

IV. I lie in bed and when I'm getting sleepy I visualize myself where I want to be and I’m there, I focus on what I am doing at that moment in that reality. 

V. After I come back I take a couple days to step away from shifting, I don’t think about going anywhere else. I try to live in this reality and when I feel I want to leave again, I begin at step one. 

shifting just to eat these bye

shifting to the 60s

hii I havent posted in a while, I've been trying re group from multiple shifts while getting my life back in order but I think I'm back.. Anyway I have a bunch of stories from so many places I'd like to share and im currently working on how I want to post them. But I don't see a lot of storytimes so I think it would be fun to share some. So i'm gonna rant about some shorter ones here.

shifting with sleep paralysis

I wanted to talk about this shift because it stuck out to me and I can't stop thinking about it.. I had shifted about 2 times in the span of 30 seconds. For a whole week back in October I was waking up at 3-5 am in the morning without being able to go back to sleep. So as you can guess I woke up at around 4 am and was restless. At around 6 am I got tired again so I started my method and I know people say that symptoms don't exist but in the time that I have shifted all I can say is that I disagree.. Anyway, one moment I was saying affimations and then the next I woke up all tingly and in a weird sleep state I've never been in before. I didn't even say to myself I wanted to shift I just did. It was like my mind was on autopilot. Didn't say affimations, didn't go through my script in my head, didn't even try to use the 5 senses. I just started seeing myself in 1st person and what I would be doing in my dr without any forethought and shifted. The first shift, I was on a track running with a couple of men and we all were wearing 60s running wear. I had an orange and red tank top with matching orange shorts. It had felt like there was an orange filter in this reality.. if that makes sense. I was on the track about to run and I just recall looking around laughing.

When I shifted to this moment its like I felt my consciousness leave my body; Which is the weird part because I've never really experinced this before. It felt like I was being pulled up by something and all I could hear was constant noise. I don't even know what noise I was hearing it was like someone was screaming right in my ear or veryyy loud ringing/static. The noise was SO loud. I was in the middle of sprinting when I shifted back because I thought I was the one making the noise, I thought I was screaming..Thankfully it was not me. But When I came back I was still In that state and I could look around me but my eyes were still closed. It's like I was seeing everything from a different perspective. There was a spider crawling on my wall right next to me when I shifted back so I freaked out and the noise got even louder ! The spider was leaving black spots all over my wall,, I could not figure out what was going on in the moment ( when I was writing this in my journal I figured out it was sleep paralysis ) It felt like I was tripping on a bunch of pain killers when I shifted back. I still couldn't move so I shifted again to the same reality but this time I was in the shower... the noise got even louder. The noise made it feel like a bad trip and I ended up shifting back here to try and stop it. It took my like an hour to get out of sleep paralysis. Unlike the method, this reality was very enyjoyable. It felt like a Nina Brodskyaya song, I lived alone and I was successful. I think I worked at a cigarette company, which is ironic because I hate smoking. But I don't know for sure as I didn't stay long enough to find out.

Lumari is a country I scripted, Forlina being one of its nations.

This reality was late 70's early 80's and one of my favorite drs. I stayed here for about a year. I was in Forlina living in an all girls home. Forlina gives free housing to students so I moved out of my parents house to start collage. About six girls are given a room to share together, don't worry they are pretty big. I loved our room. It had big sliding windows that gave a view of the tropical forest. We each had sunken in beds, some girls who were home sick shared beds for a couple of weeks. It took me a while to get use to the amount of noise in the morning. There was this one girl who would blast music on the radio while getting ready. I only had to worry about this sometimes because I woke up pretty early. Art was one of my classes and the professer would make the class times either 7 am or 9 pm which also took me some time to get use to. idk the guy was kind of weird. I rode my bike everywhere here. I miss being able to ride down a bike trail and see the ocean. I've been thinking about shifting back here for some time. I might post more about this reality in more detail later.

space stalker dr

I wanted to info dump about some of the lore about my space dr; specifically some of the planets.

If you want to know the basics about this dr click here.

Adu - a water planet on the out skirts of the aven system

Endless oceans stretch as far as the eye can see, scattered with islands, sky-high towers, and diverse culture. Reaching towards the heavens, Adu's towers are feats of engineering that serve as hubs for goverment and avation. Most of the towers house airship docks, control centers, and residential quarters for workers. Hundreds of docking platforms accommodate airships of all types. These docks are equipped with maintenance facilities, fueling stations, and cargo handling systems. Below, adu holds a network of submerged structers. These underwater buildings are desinged for research, mining, and sea exploration. These facilites are near the few islands adu has. The islands hold most of the citizens and travlers-allthough some travlers could be coming for work and staying in one of the many avation buildings.

major exports; water, ore, starships,

Major imports; Foodstuff, tech, workers

Background: Adu was one of the first planets to help form the Aven allince. It also helped build the space stalker guild. Many companies invest in groups of bounty hunters, imploying them by giving them a home and monthly pay. Of course the pay does vary from hunter to hunter, it all depends on how much criminals you bring in. Adu supplies many ships for intersteller travel as well.

Feel free to ask any questions! All art by John Harris.

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.

hello!<3 I've picked out these virtual gifts for you, you deserve it! 🌺🪷🐚 ( ≧∀≦)ノ

Can I be your 🌕 anon for this one post? even if I'm not planning to make another ask again.

I would like to speak my mind.

I had never felt more connected to my Dr than yesterday night. I don't have any harsh opinions about this reality, but I know that I belong in those that make my heart giddy. I'd had a positive and pleasant weekend, so I knew that I would shift. I didn't really think about 'having' to shift that night, yk? I felt satisfied and closed my eyes. I told myself that I was already there, and got knocked out... But here I am. I really don't mind that part(now), but it really frustrated me this morning.

I feel like there's two voices in my head during situations like these. The initial thought: 'I don't want to continue with the above mindset of getting frustrated and waking up here, or wondering what I should do. It's not helping me'. But then the second thought/correction of 'there's nothing to change, you dont need to change or fix anything to shift' comes to mind. I go with the latter, because I believe that this kind of mindset will be more beneficial to me. I affirm that shifting comes naturally to me, and that I will be where I think of myself to be, that I shift on command, and more like it. I embody this self and feel content. Then a few days pass by, my CR is right in front of me and I feel like I'm stagnant and nothing is changing even while holding these facts close. I embody my dr self, wake up here and get annoyed, then think of what to do... the Cycle continues. I want to break it.

These situations make me feel like the physical world is something separate from me, and that we both aren't connected(even though I'm incorrect).

In turn I feel less confident in myself. I find myself thinking "I'll shift tonight", even though I know I can do it now, even thought it is easy and effortless. When I decide to try, I start anticipating, close my eyes with the intention to shift only to get this nagging feeling that nothing would have changed when I open my eyes like always, in the back of my mind.

Just the aspect of shifting is beautiful. I don't want it to be this way for me knowing that I could be, and am, so much more.

Thank you<3

🌕 of course!! thank you for the gifts :))

Have you ever tried shifting during the day, or when you wake up in the morning? Right when you wake up your mind is trying to adjust to your reality, maybe try and shift in those moments. If you are trying the same routine over and over again but nothing is happening switch it up. You can shift with any mindset, I sometimes get stuck in weird thought pattrens and I still end up shifting.

You know you can do it, so don't give up.

How many DRs do you have altogether?

uhhrrhr....... up in the hundreds idk for sure...

Space Bounty Hunter dr

This post is going to be long cuz ive inserted pics that remind me of this dr... I just wanted a place were I can discribe and info dump about the places I have and am shifting to. I thought about starting a page on shifttok...but its tiktok.. and I don't like the people on there lol. They all have weird takes; ex; the constant hate on perma shifting. Not only that but they hold their opnions up like they are truth, everyone puts creators on a high horse and they are just insufferable. So instead im here, on a hopefully way more chill platform.. Anyway i'll stop yapping about shifttok and get on with the actual post.

I have a large amount of space dr's one of them being a bounty hunter reality with a metroid, sci-fi comic, farscape kinda of vibe to it. I'd also compare it to cowboy bepop.

All of my adventures take place in the milky way far far from earth. I'd say for earth its around the 1990s, I've scripted out time diliation when travling far because I just don't want to deal with it. Keep in mind some of the physics and logic is different from this reality. Earth is unware of any alien species, space travel and literally anything outside its solar system. Even with earth being oblivous to the intelligence out in space people still travel to the planet. And Its the way my grand-parents traveled out into the universe. The Neashe (na-shay) have helped and rescued people from earths many wars (without earths goverment knowing) promising them a new life in the aven section of the galaxy. Lazuo is the native planet to the naeshe. Being one of the most technologically advanced planets it exports the most weapons and ships among the star systems. It has the highest population including its moon ilumi. The naeshe are welcoming & peacefull species beliving in the search for life in the universe. The reason the Naeshe have not tried to contact the goverments of earth is because of the leaders constantly engaing in war. There is many other planets that I might mention so if its a word you don't know or you get confused its either a planet, its species, or some galatic goverment name.

For many years there has been an alliance between planets called "aven" the Adu word for friend. Adu is a water planet, its culture built on avation, exploring the depths and its diverse sea food. Since this alliance was formed interseller ships from all over travled to and from planets, exporting and importing goods of all kinds. Even though this guild was there to hold a title of saftey and peace it sprouted a problem. Space pirates, criminals, theifs, whatever you want to call them started to raid and attack these ships. Law enforcers failed to keep up with the rapid apperence of these pirates resulting in high rates of crime. Fed up with the persistent violence, people from all different cultures and planets volunteered to help capture these criminals. An association of bounty hunters was formed named space stalkers. Contractors from major companies started to pay space stalkers for their part, devolping a large influx of hunters. Being a space stalker is dangerous but since I have free rain in what I can script I find it fun.

companions

My name in most of my dr's is Callisto Calavarni and thats the name im going to use on this page.

My mother Estette Calavarni and father Castor Calavarni are alive and well in this dr. I know shocking... I didn't script a traumatic backstory, GASP!!!! They rasied me opposite of helicoptor parents, encouraging me to take risks and learn as much as I can about the world. My friends are Wesley Starkov an astrobiologist from the planet Kelzo. Anvi An, a female doctor who mostly works on hospital ships. And Niko lovell with a John Crichton personality from earth. I also have a pet! A fluffy tuxedo cat named Miso.

I have a deeper connection to Anvi than anyone else, we have been friends since the terrible twos lol. But I have more amusing stories with Wesley. I prefer to work alone as working with some hunters can be risky. I remember I needed help with a bounty and had told Wesley that I would give him half the check if he assisted me. Long story short the hunt didn't go as planned and I had to run to our vehicle and jump through the window like a loony tunes cartoon lol. I ended up kicking him in my uncoordinated climb through the window and he's never helped me with a bounty since -sob-

Thanks for reading, if I spelt anything wrong ignore, science is what im good at not english haha. This is my first post and im still new to tumblr so please ask me questions and tell me what kind of stuff you wanna hear about my dr's! Happy shifting!
