Shifting for the first time

(Warning: Very wordy and very long imo. and kinda poor grammar, I've never posted on tumblr before) WR - Waiting Room DR - Desired Reality HR - Home Reality imo - In my opinion ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅��� ─────

Hello, everyone! I am very excited to finally make my first post about shifting! Today, 5/10/25, is the day I finally shifted! :D

Ever since the start of my journey throughout the years, I had a lot of fears, and there was a lot of misconceptions I had to unlearn (something I know alot of shifters from 2020 suffer with). But mostly…I learned that the only reason I, personally, hadn't shifted before was DUE to fears.

For a long time I had convinced myself I couldn't have nice things, I let the logical side of my brain have control over how I viewed shifting because I thought it wouldn't do me any harm, because i'm 'a logical person'. But when I let go, I let go of that fear. Of the feeling that I couldn't have nice things, that it's 'too good to be true'. I only recently let that mindset go however, and I started scripting in stuff that before I wouldn’t have even considered giving myself. Stuff like; unlimited money, a big house, a nice property, more unrealistic things. I stopped romanticizing shifting as well. I realized that ‘oh, I really don’t like people.’ and stopped considering shifting long periods at a time, at least to my DRs. My WR is the one DR I would even consider being in long term (more than a few days) and really…I learned my own limits. ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

But enough of that. Onto the shifting part: For me, it's a sensation of passing out, my eyes being stuck shut, paralysis, and voices loud in my ears but also in my head. It's been a very common thing I went through throughout 2023-now (I started in 2020).

I fought it every single time, out of fear! But this time I just…let it happen. I accepted it, I decided "What's the worst that could happen? I'm safe." and then IT happened, the chase…

I had a foggy red dream-like lucid state where I was being chased. By what? I'm unsure. I heard my own voice, as if mocking me, but not in a mean way. In a 'its so obvious' way. "What are you hiding for?" as I dived into a closet to hide from whatever was chasing me.

I realized pretty quickly that I was being silly, so I came out and affirmed “I am safe.” and I was. I woke up in another reality.

I've mini-shifted a few times very recently, from November 2024, twice in march, and now. But I FINALLY got to another reality.

What did that reality look like? Well it was nothing special. When my eyes opened (and they did so automatically, as they did when I came back to my HR [home reality]) I was in a pure white kitchen. Specifically a restaurant kitchen, I also explored the dining area a little bit but it was all tables, no chairs.

Nothing interesting happened imo, but there's nothing wrong with that 💔 not ALL realities are some wild adventure. I simply walked around and explored. My primary reason for shifting is to explore, I LOVE exploring. Seeing new things, experiencing new things, it’s my biggest motivator.

Now I feel like I should mention that I was not grounded there entirely, I wasn't fully IN that reality. I was lucid, and was able to walk around and interact with things, but it was like playing VR. I couldn't actually FEEL, SMELL, or HEAR anything. It felt like I was there for at least an hour or two, but really I was only gone a minute or two.

I have no idea if it correlates to my WR, but I for a long time have scripted in my WR portal to be a VR headset, where I can select my DR via the game menu. So for that reality to feel like VR (the objects I interacted with was just like VR, they even had little interaction screens) seemed pretty likely to be connected. Even if it was a weird reality, it was pretty cool. Maybe THAT wasn't the reality and I was just playing VR in my WR. I guess I won't know until I shift again. :) ⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂ ⠂⠄⠄⠂☆

Would I go back to that reality? No. It was an empty plain restaurant, I wanted to wake up in my WR house. But I did consider making a liminal space DR a few times.

Am I happy I shifted at all? Absolutely! I learned alot so quickly and now i’m more determined than ever to keep shifting! I'm also very happy I was entirely alone. My WR has no one other than me there. ...

I want to share everything I learn, to at least TRY to help those who are still struggling. So my biggest advice as of right now is; Listen to your sub-conscious. You’re capable. Doubts and all. I had to be TOLD by my own sub-conscious, with my own voice, to stop stopping myself. I was what was keeping myself back, and now I know better. You might think “Im not scared.” but I did too until I reflected. Another bit of advice is to take note of strange habits and experiences in your body/dreams. I didn’t even know I was shifting all those times until I learned that hearing my heartbeat was normal for the void state. I also learned that I shift easier when asleep!

You really can learn alot about HOW to shift if you just take note of the changes from before shifting, to when you’re attempting to shift. Don’t try and try again. Try, and then learn from that. Trying the same thing over and over is just going to limit you in the end.

But everyone is different. I had to completely unlearn about shifting to learn how to make shifting work for ME. I can’t even use subliminals cause it distracts my brain💔 I also don’t know how to meditate, but I suppose that state of passing out kicks the logic in my brain to the side and lets the left side do it’s thing.

Alright, that’s all for now. Sorry if that was SUPER long and poorly worded, I just wanted to get all I knew out incase it helps someone.

Next for me to learn: how to ground myself! :) GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!
