OH MY GOSH THESE TWO COMMENTS ARE THE REALEST EVER 😭

a reminder that deities you work with don't hate you for not being able to do things, especially not if you're physically or mentally able to!

the gods understand that we're not perfect, that we're just fleshy meat sacks and that some of us aren't able to do things as much, and you shouldn't compare your craft to anyone else's! it's yours after all.

and if you're worried that your offerings aren't good enough, think about it like this. if a little crow came up to you and gave you a stick, you wouldn't think "what a dumb crow, why'd you give me a stick?", would you? no! you'd know that the little crow is doing his best and wanted to give you a gift. to the deities, you're that little crow, and they know you're doing your best <3

I don't worship Ares, but I've always imagined he would be like this.

Everyone says Ares feels like protests and Anger

And he does but he also feels like running to your big brother for help,

Crying into the chest of a man who won’t hurt you,

Someone teaching you how to throw a punch, with no judgement

Someone picking you up when you fall and scrape your self up

He feels like tattoos of a woman with snakes for hair to remind yourself you can’t be broken

He feels like someone finally recognizing the anger and rage inside you with honor and acceptance instead of demanding peace and forgiveness

Yes girls and boys Ares is big and scary and in the spirit of rebellion but he’s also a safe place to run don’t forget that 💕

You don't need to have a method(s) to shift. You don't need affirmations. You don't need a subliminal. You just need you.

If methods, affirmations, and subliminals help you, then go head and use it. I'm not going to judge. (Methods and affirmations help me).

Just know you don't NEED it. Not having it won't stop you shifting. Just breathe and do whatever is comfort and feels right to you. Just don't let anyone tell you that you NEED something to shift.

So I did a channelled reading using tarot and Oracle cards for my desired reality s/o in my Peaky Blinders' desired reality. As I've heard about people doing this so I decided to do it.

I asked how my s/o saw our relationship and the cards I got back were that he basically saw our relationship that is full of love but lots of arguments and conflicts because of how stubborn we both are.

I then asked him what he wanted to say to me and how he felt about me, and I got an Oracle card that literally said, "Fall into my arms" and then got a card that was talking about feeling homesick for a place and/or person and then I got a card saying that what I want to do will happen sooner than expected. There was a card, i forgot what it was called, but it immediately said under it: "Loyalty, love, trust and safety."

I then asked if he loved me, and I got four cards that were strongly saying yes.

I then asked one last question of, "How do you feel that I'm shifting to my Peaky Blinders' desired reality to see and be with you?" I got cards saying that he felt slightly anxious because he wanted to make sure that I'm making the right choice, but otherwise, he felt truly and deeply loved.

Me when I shift

shifters after shifting to their dr and staying there for a very long time and coming back to their cr:

"The boy's throat went tight, holding his tears as he was forced to swallow the food that he hated. He was choking in his tears, but told everyone he was fine and happy"

Anyone else just makes a shrine/alter for deities than just meditate or do tarot cards than play music for a few minutes for them and just chill with them but don't work with them? But that's what I do and it's quite relaxing I think.

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!

How To Actually Set Intention To Reality Shift.

Original post made by LadyNuggie on the reddit shifting community r/Shiftingrealities. All credits to them.

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!

WAYS TO FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR DESIRED REALITY:

1. Try to dress like your desired reality self (through clothing, make-up, hair, ect. If you can't for whatever reason, then wear something that your desired reality self would wear on a lazy day.)

2. Daydream about being in your desired reality, and if you have scripted specific scenes to happen, daydream you are in your desired reality, and that's happening.

3. Have a book that is filled with quotes, poems, drawings, and letters that are dedicated to your desired reality s/o, friends or family members, and/or dedicate it to write everything that the people who are important to you in your desired reality like and dislike, things you've observed about them.

4. Daydream about watching a movie or show with your s/o, friends, and family members while cuddling with them (platonically or romantically) while in your original reality.

5. Listen to music that reminds you of your desired reality, friends, family, s/o.

That's all I can think of for now, but now it's time for you to GO SHIFT!

That's so true! You can be in a desired reality where it isn't perfect, where you aren't perfect. You can just be, just be how you are now just in another reality, and that's perfectly okay!

It's okay for your DR to still be of human experience. It's okay to WANT to feel human in your DR.

You don't have to script that you always smell nice, never have acne, and your clothes always fit right. You are allowed to live in an average house and drive an average car that needs regular maintenance. It's okay if you get the wrong coffee order sometimes, or if you're a few minutes late for work. It's okay to have hair that gets greasy after a few days and to have to shave your armpits on a regular basis.

Some of these little things, these minor inconveniences, are simply a part of being human.

And what a beautiful thing to be ❤️
