I Don't Want To Guess That It's Me But I Also Genuinely Don't Know If My Ask About Hrrtshape And Her

there is no such thing as a minishift

Im so tired of seeing the term minishift. I don't care if you shifted for half a second, thats a full shift. Time is made up so why are you putting a scale up to how long your shifts are in order to measure your success?? It's so odd to me. Where did that term even come from.

Hi! I hope you're doing well! I have a question on how to stop focusing on the body and symptoms when I'm shifting. When it comes to shifting, it feels like I know how to shift but I can't quite focus on already knowing that I'm there and accepting the shift. On top of that, I'm also really confused on intent. I want to pick a place to shift and wake up there but when I do it, all I see is my current reality and I just get super frustrated. Could you help me?

Hi, I'm doing better today !

I sometimes get really weird symptoms as well. If you keep forcing yourself to stop focusing on something it's going to be harder to forget about it. If I tell you to not think about a cat..it's not going to work. You thought of a cat right when you saw the word. If you can't stop focusing on your body then incorporate it into your method. It will be easier to relax if you are not actively fighting against it. 

I personally struggle with getting irritated at noise when I’m meditating/shifting or even trying to sleep. Then, I tried an open awareness meditation. It made me realize that it was easier to get into that flow state because I wasn't trying to fight everything that got in the way. 

Get into your usual shifting position

Be aware of how your body feels and sounds you hear. While you are doing this be aware of your thoughts, but don’t engage with them just let them come and go. If you focus too much on a certain sensation or sound, open your awareness back up, try not to stay on one thing for too long. Let everything come and go. 

When you are done you can either come back here or use this to shift. 

If you want to use it to shift, try and do the same thing but with where you are trying to be. For example, If you are shifting to a beach, be aware of the wind on your face, the sand sticking to your skin, the feeling of your heartbeat, or the emotions you would feel. But maybe practice here first if that will be easier.

Setting intention is telling yourself that you will do something or something will happen. For example, whenever I get a glass of water, I like to put ice in it. But sometimes the ice machine is all out. I set the intention to get ice, but I didn’t get it. Does that mean I'm never going to get ice for the rest of my life? Of course not. I just have to wait for it to fill up. If you think you are never going to shift because you set the intent but didn’t get it right then and there, that's just silly. Your brain might be trying to get accustomed to the fact you are trying to be aware of something else; even if you have been trying for years. I know it can be hard but try not to attach any emotion to it. If you see this reality and get annoyed your brain might get confused and begin to imagine your dr as something above. I recommend reading this post.

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. :)

goodbye..maybe?

I think I understand why so many accounts on here deactivate. I feel the lure to the delete button as well. I might keep this account, I might not, I just don't want to leave out of the blue. So I guess don't be surprised if my account is gone one day loll.. maybe I'm being emo and i'll delete this post in the morning but shifting has felt like a chore since this account has gotten traction, albeit not a lot, but still there are 500 of you and that's kinda scary.

If you want to hear about any of my dr's ask me it will probably motivate me to stay but I also thought about starting a new account in secret who knows. 

PLEASE don’t boost my ego…………… ilyy

no but seriously I’m planning on going into a stem major for college so I can explain shifting with a better science lens; I fear I didn’t explain it as good as I wanteddd 😔

I’ll return to the operating room very soon !!!!!

hey girlie! hope you're doing well<3 also, love the new blog theme♡

i read this post (https://www.tumblr.com/hrrtshape/782835465002926080/read-this-if-youre-confused-about-persistence-if?source=share) by hrrtshape recently...

do you think that our reality not changing 'instantly' depends upon whether we're fully committed to our consiousness/accept it as a fact or not? putting aside all the desperation, etc, after you're certain that you've shifted in your mind?

I just wanted to get your views on this because tbh I may or may not have understood her poetic prose ;(

thank youuuu!!!🫶🏼🎀 lots of love!!!!!

Hii, I hope this makes sense, it might sound like something everybody has said already but then again thats just the shifting community so who cares, also thanks !

Also this might not make any sense at all.. actually fuck the human language for not allowing me to communicate my abstract thoughts about reality and how time works….I wish I were telepathic.

Quantum mechanics tells us that particles can be in several places at once. If the particles can be in several places at once and we are made up of these particles we should be able to be in several places at once as well. This is were Hugh Everett proposed his many worlds theory, stating that wave functions never collapse. ( stay with me ) Collapse implies that the other states in super position disappear, so that only one position remains. This would be the idea that there is only one true reality, this one that you are experiencing, but with many more theories coming out about how reality works that notion becomes more distant.

The many worlds theory suggests that there is a third level of parallel realities you can experience by making certain choices. Now you can say his many-worlds theory was widely ignored for his time, and you would be correct, but recently it has caught attention of the physics community. I'm not saying that Everett was right about everything and that is theory is the "manifesto" of how we perceive reality but it can certainly be a jumping point of understanding.

Small changes in our thinking can lead to different outcomes. I've had certain realities relay what my mind has picked up, I've noticed that even though you think you are in a stagnant period relating to shifting your mind is still projecting what you are thinking onto the world. For example, many of my dreams are just jumbled non sense of what I do and think throughout my day. Same goes for realities I shift to, even though I haven't experienced certain situations it still shows up.

We don't know a lot about the mind, and (to an extant) we don't know why the mind tends to delay things; learning, developing mental blocks, etc.

Take a piece of paper, look at it fully and imagine that its your consciousness in its entirety. At the top of the paper, measure a centimeter then take your pencil and draw a line horizontally all the way across. See? Thats a sliver of the paper ( your consciousness ) Thats about all you are using. Only that tiny bit is what we are aware of at this moment.

Ever single human has a different way of being aware. Thats why so many people shift in different ways. Its the levels in which you think that make up what you are ware of.

For example, one persons way of shifting could be pacing around in their room daydreaming about their dr and thats how their mind understands shifting, thats how their mind knows when to shift. Another person could use the method between being awake and being asleep to shift and thats how their mind discerns this reality from another.

Our brain is stubborn, fulling accepting something as fact is one thing, being fully aware is another. Desperation or any of the such will not stop you from shifting.

Ok so, to dumb it down, there is no past, there is no future, the only true thing is what you experiencing now - and with the concept of shifting you can choose to experience anything you'd like. The essence of being where you are is deciding what you are aware of. Whenever I shift It feels like smooth, like your in the zone of flowing thoughts, it comes in this abstract state of awareness.

im done looking at this obsidian doc I have three months of homework i need to finish by june so this is all you are getting from me so sorry, ( i have no idea how emma does all that I have so much respect for her )

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.

before i had shifted i used to think shifters were the most open-minded people. Having known of the limitlessness, the ability to do so much, the knowledge of already being so much. I thought their experiences might make them better people, distinguished and graceful in their words and presence. But honestly, now, having this blog and a space to interact with so many shifters, I no longer think that way. It's all the same, a mirror of this current reality. Oppression, hatred, ignorance, the same old foolishness and denseness. Sometimes I feel terribly sad over it. Whenever I log on to this blog, I feel im in a huge crowd, being pushed around. Loud alarms and bells ringing all around me, pamphlets of... i don't know, worthless information like the prediction of the dates of the world ending, aka the same "Actually, i think-" "no, this is wrong because-" "you'll never shift because-" "Im so tired of people doing this because-" all scattered around in shifting tags. But i feel so euphoric that now i've shifted. Now im grounded in places better than this. I no longer have to rely on these people. I won't have to interact with these people ever again. Then i am able to put on a fake smile, let go of some things, and read the same "wild" opinions again. Knowing one day i'd be deserving of eternal freedom when i'll break away from this reality, and forget. Each and everything. When the time's right. I suppose I hate humanity. I can't do anything about it. I would be foolish to try to change the vast majority of people, who are reflecting themselves boldly all around me. The only place I could ever be comfortable in, is the world i've created inside of me. What I portray of myself on here, is a show. Nothing strikes me, maddens me from here, that's why. It will be a waste of my own energy.

Not shifting related but.. i just watched alien romulus BIG DAY FOR ANNOYING PEOPLE (me)

I’m so annoyed that I didn’t see it in theaters omg my jaw is on the floor this is probably the best movie I have seen in a while, the alien baby, Andy, the cgi of the planets rings, the guttural scream of “Die, motherfucker!” in the ending..???!?? …..THE ALIEN BABY??? As a big fan of the original it hit every mark for me. i’m going to be thinking about this all week goodbye.

hi! i am completely new to shifting, i know about the basics like methods and scripting but i just wanted to ask if theres anything else that i should know about??

Hi! All you really need to know is where you want to go and have the belief that you are there ! There isn't any rules to shifting so have fun!
