list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals
cleaning or wipe your bare feet
breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly
sometimes I see old shiftoks like " 10 reasons you aren't shifting " nd one of them is " stop being so obsessed with your dr! Seriously you're acting like a little kid! " WRONG! Be excited! It's your reality, & that won't stop you from shifting đź«¶
Writing for your deities is such a liberation. It's a way to pour out your feelings, to write them down not only for your deities to see, but also for you to better understand. It doesn’t matter if you see yourself as a "good writer", or a "bad writer". Prayer and poetry are always magnificent when written in honor of what you love, and what you believe in. Sure, the prayers you write may not hold as much meaning if shown to others, but that is precisely the beauty of it. Something that is written from you to the Gods is absolutely sacred.
thinking about all the aromantic people who died thinking they were broken. thinking about all the aromantic people who died settling for "at least I care about this person". thinking about all the aromantic people that died without ever being able to know why they couldn't reciprocate the feelings of anyone, men, women, people of other genders and more. thinking about all the aromantic people that died being called sluts that never found the right person to marry. thinking about all the aromantic people that died that had to tell themselves that it was fine, they were fine, this marriage will be okay and it will be for the future of their lineage, while crying themselves to sleep every night. thinking about all the aromantic people that died that we will never know about, because being aromantic isn't even close to a possibility in the mind of society at large. because love is supposed to be the force that saves everything. because love is supposed to bring everyone together. because to love is human.
just remembered that in my dr i can see without glasses
things i’ve learned as a shifter who has shifted both awake and asleep
everything is up to you, therefore you determine if you shift or not
a lot of people back out if they’re scared. use your fear as an affirmation of you actually being there, use it to ground yourself. you are perfectly capable of shifting, despite the feeling of fear. you will shift and it may be scary, use it as a tool to keep you there
in my experience, i’ve felt things when i shift. i also have not felt anything change and still shifted. it can be both. yes you don’t need “symptoms”, but you can still feel things.
 that being said, you don’t need to feel anything or everything to shift.Â
if you believe something, it will happen. if you think something won’t work, it won’t work!
shifting is instant, you can be in any reality at any moment! time is fake!!
using methods is not completely useless, they may not work for you and you should do things that feel right for you but being completely against tools that can help is like going backwards instead of forward.
at the end of the day, shifting is up to you.Â
nobody can make you shift but yourself, and there are a bunch of tools out there for you to use. the best and the biggest tool is you.
divider can be found here.
i was also told it would be funny if i shared that i shifted in the shower butt ass naked and wide awake before so take that as u will
Remember,
You are a practicing pagan. You don't have to do spell work everyday. You don't have to talk to your deities everyday. You don't have to spend every waking second focusing on your practice to be a valid pagan.
Your valid. No matter how often you're able to work with your deities. No matter how often you do spell work. No matter if you dedicate little or big things to your practice.
You make an effort once in awhile and thats more than enough. Save your spoons, it's ok.
hi gentle reminder that your dr is yours and you don’t have to listen to anyone else on what is right or wrong for you dr.
however keep in mind your own morals and ethics
Has anyone else since they've decided to permashift to their desired reality started to just not care about things in their Original Reality/Current Reality? Like the things that got you stressed and filled with anxiety just doesn't seem to matter because you're not going to be here long? Like I've always been worried about what career I want to pursue but now that I know that I'm going to be shifting to my Marauders desired reality and I'm not coming back. I already am confident of what career I want to do there. I just don't care now about my career or any things that would bother me, embarrass me, make me scared, or make me feel anxious. Is it just me?
I'm going to try this! I think this would help a lot! Especially with helping with sleep methods and just in general for shifting!

Setting the intention to shift is one of the most widely discussed topics in the shifting community. A lot of shifters (especially on tiktok) will tell you "all you need to shift is intention." One girl literally said, "all you need to shift is intention, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying." Something about that didn't sit right with me and it took me a while to put my finger on why that statement bothered me.
The thing is, first of all, all you need to shift is intention and the right altered state of consciousness that works for you so you can connect to your DR and detach from your CR. But besides that, let's say all you did need to shift was intention. Well then, how do you set that intention? Because there is a right way to set intention and a wrong way.
Setting intention isn't going to sleep half hoping you wake up in your DR. Some people have literally shifted that way, but that doesn't mean that that is how you actually set intention. The key to setting intention is moving a message, desire or want from your conscious mind into your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind makes up about 5% of what we call "the mind". The remaining 95% is your subconscious and unconscious mind. Your subconscious is comprised of everything you've ever seen, heard, tasted, and experienced. Your thoughts, beliefs, values, and habits all stem from the workings of your subconscious mind. That is why "reprogramming your subconscious mind" is a popular topic in the shifting community.
Now, you set intention by ingraining or imprinting your desire into your subconscious mind. Simply having a thought or want in your head does not mean that the intention has been set. And this is where I explain what prospective memory is.
Prospective memory is when you have a "prospect" or something in mind that you want to accomplish later. Maybe you want to remember to buy more toilet paper the next time you drive by target or you need to remember to pick up your sister from her piano recital. You remember to do those tasks in the future because of prospective memory.
When trying to learn how to lucid dream, one of the first concepts you come across is reality checking, which is basically performing an action multiple times throughout the day so that you get used to it and at some point do it in a dream (because it's been ingrained into your subconscious and has become a habit). So if your reality check is counting your fingers, when the action pops up in a dream, you become lucid because in a dream you could have 8 or 4 fingers on one hand and you realize it's a dream!
Let's say you told yourself that whenever you walk into a room or stand up from a seat, you would do a reality check. That is you utilizing your prospective memory. That way, the action shows up in a dream because your subconscious mind "remembered" to do it!
So how does this relate to shifting? Well, a major reason why sleep methods don't work for a lot of people is because (like me) they have weak prospective memory. You could tell me to clap twice in the next 30 seconds and I'll forget. So it's no wonder that I "forget" to shift when I use sleep methods.
You shift with a sleep method when you set the intention to shift (using prospective memory) to your DR and detach from your CR through an altered state of consciousness (in this case, that would be sleep). When you successfully shift using a sleep method, it is because your subconscious "remembered" to do so!
This is also why a lot of people have dreams about their DR. Because the images, people and sensations from their DR have been ingrained in their subconscious mind, so they dream about it! I've literally had dreams where I walked through a portal to try to shift although I wasn't lucid.
So if you want to use sleep methods, (although this is important for any kind of shifting method) I highly recommend working on your prospective memory by giving yourself little tasks to do throughout the day. You could also start doing reality checks, that way, even if you don't shift at least you could have a lucid dream which you could use to shift anyways.
An Example of a Prospective Memory Exercise for Shifting (can also be used for lucid dreaming):
▪️ The next time I walk into the kitchen I will: do a reality check and remind myself to shift to my DR when I go to sleep.
▪️ The next time I turn on a light bulb I will: do a reality check and remind myself to shift to my DR when I go to sleep.
▪️ The next time I pick something up from the floor I will: do a reality check and remind myself to shift to my DR when I go to sleep.
▪️ The next time I flush the toilet I will: do a reality check and remind myself to shift to my DR when I go to sleep.
Try to do each task 3 times each day. Good luck!
So I have an update for all of you who have followed me or who have just found me now.
I've known about shifting for five to four years, give or take. I've been trying to shift on and off, and only this year have been more determined to do it.
But also, during those years, I've had trouble with my own religious beliefs and continuously switched from one religion to another. But at the start of this year, I started to get interested in Catholicism, but if we're being more honest, I was just more interested in having a relationship with God.
When I was ten, I went to a baptist church, but the pastor didn't like me because I asked questions, but I always found the church calming. Then I told God to prove to me he was real and told him I would then believe in him. He did prove that to me, but even then, I didn't believe in him. Then, six years later, the start of this year, I found him. I found him and was more determined to shift realities than the previous years.
Yesterday night, I was desperate, so I prayed to God, saying that if shifting realities is for me, then let me shift to my 100 desired reality so I can be with John, my John. If shifting realities isn't for me, let me wake up here. I was determined to shift realities, but I woke up here.
I was upset, mourning, defeated, and a bit angry. I had a thought to fight against God and shift anyway, but I didn't. I decided not to.
Because I love Jesus, Jesus is beautiful, loving, pretty, and is the most calming thing I've found in my life. Despite my deep love for John Murphy, despite my care for him. Despite how eager I am to talk to him, get to know him, cheer him up, love him... God and Jesus are worth more to me.
I think John will understand that, even if he's not happy with it. So I'm not trying to shift again. My shifting journey is over, and I'm okay with that.
I do hope one day, I'll shift and see my beloved John. But for now, I won't and I'm okay with that. I really am.
I've developed peace with my past, my physical/emotional/neglectful/sexual trauma. I'm okay with my past and who i am. I just wanted to be loved romantically. That's all I wanted from shifting. But I'll get it someday and despite the long road I think I'll be okay.
