Shifting isn’t about positivity or method, It’s about mental & emotional state

✅Factors that seem to actually help shifting (even if often misunderstood or ignored):

1. Immediate emotional state (calm ≠ joyful)

-> My data shows that calm, serenity, or even gentle sadness (low-impact but stable emotions) support shifting more than highly intense “positive” emotions.

→ This challenges the idea that you must be euphoric or “super motivated” to shift.

->It's more about the emotional state and your relationship to it

2. Mental surrender (low cognitive overload)

-> Many people shift without detailed visualization or script, which suggests that a light, relaxed mind matters more than complex techniques.

→ Those who shift “on command” are often those who can let go mentally.

3. Relaxed physical state

-> Many experiences happen during deep relaxation, light sleep, or hypnosis-like states.

→ It lowers mental alertness and helps surrender.

4. Internal emotional stability

-> You don’t need to be “positive,” but your emotions shouldn't be too turbulent. You can be sad and still be mentally at peace.

→ This debunks the cliché of “good vibes only.”

5. Realistic expectations (no excessive pressure)

-> Many succeed when they stop “desperately trying”, the classic: “I shifted when I let go.”

→ Emotional detachment from the goal is surprisingly effective.

1. The specific method used (Julia, raven, etc.)

Factors that have little to no real impact (or are heavily overestimated):❌

-> People shift using all kinds of methods, even just by falling asleep with no clear technique.

→ What matters is the method’s effect on your inner state, not the method itself.

2. Strong conscious intention or obsessive repetition

-> “Trying too hard” with endless affirmations can overload the mind.

→ It’s the soft, unconscious integration of the intention that works, not forced focus.

3. Being positive or highly motivated

-> My polls show many regular shifters weren’t in a hyper-positive state.

→ Emotional calm or even neutrality can be enough.

4. Highly detailed scripting

-> Many shift without a script, or with just a simple keyword.

→ Structured imagination is optional, not essential even if it can help.

5. Constant belief level/no doubt

-> Belief plays a role, but it naturally fluctuates without blocking shifting, which is surprising .

→ You just need some openness to possibility, not 100% belief all the time

6)Being healed or trauma free

-> Some parts of the community (especially on Tumblr or TikTok) promote this toxic belief that you must be “healed,” trauma-free, and emotionally stable 24/7 to deserve or succeed at shifting.

→ That’s not true.

Neurodivergent people, trauma survivors, and those still healing shift all the time. Shifting doesn’t reward emotional perfection, it often happens despite pain, as long as your emotional state in the moment is grounded enough to allow openness.

Summary:

The myth: Shifting is all about belief, intention, and the right method.

The reality: It’s your overall inner state,calm, mental fluidity, and lack of pressure, that matters most.

stop being afraid of your confidence

one of the problems i had when i began reality shifting was that i constantly believed that my confidence of "i'm going to shift tonight" will end in disappointment. however, this didn't just go for self assurance, but also other aspects.

i would spend most of my time researching, not to learn new things, but to reassure myself. i didn't believe in myself or the information i was receiving as well as i wished to.

my completely false narrative that everything has to go one way to work properly was what held me down. instead of making my current mindset and preparing my comfort to move forward, i constantly tried to change, believing that all i need to shift is far from who i actually am and what i have.

idolization

maybe there's that one influencer who posts shifting content that shares information and experiences, and you envy them. heavily. the truth is, no matter how much you try to follow their advice and shift in the way that they do, you'll always be reminded that you don't know them. their intention is likely to help you pick up some different advice and experiment with what you have, but if your immediate instinct is to try to integrate into their routines and headspace instead of employ yours, you're putting in more unnecessary work to adapt a mindset you don't even know the half of. sounds tedious, right?

doubt

doubt can be rooted into past misinformation, unlikelihood, people doubting you, and more. the thing about doubt is, most shifters do almost anything to try their best to get away from it-- the biggest thing is, suppressing it. DO NOT DO THIS. suppressing your feelings will let them grow in an untouched area of your mind; allowing these feelings to nurture and stick to every new piece of information you have will eventually intoxicate the open-wonder you have to new ideas. instead, begin to find out where this doubt lies. is it in yourself? is it in shifting as a whole? if it's in shifting, then begin looking into not only shifting, but relating topics. multiverse travel in buddhism, the multiverse theory, astral projection, quantum theory, quantum immortality, and more. these are not the exact same as shifting, but fall under the same idea of travel between multiverses. these relating explanations and theories will help you put the dots together. if your doubt lies in yourself and what you are capable of, realize that this isn't a situation of moving houses-- you are able to shift anytime and anywhere. you don't need a comfortable bed and 2L of water to shift your awareness. you don't even need a script. it's a matter of assuming and settling in. you are in your desired reality, just as much as you're in this one.

a need for routine

know- you don't *need* a full blown method, meditation, or routine in order to reality shift. you don't need to know exactly how your room will look, how you will look, how your house will look-- it's nice to know these things, but they aren't completely needed. when you take a nap, you automatically assume that you'll wake up in the same space, same reality. you don't think anything of it. assume you're waking up in your desired reality. as you close your eyes, simply acknowledge and regard your desired reality as the reality you're going to be in. think of when you'll wake up, and where. understand the process, there is no almost. the biggest thing is, this reality won't feel new or unfamiliar. because it isn't. you're just as fond of that reality as this one, because you've grown up in there too. that reality is yours.

do not nurture a mindset of common doubt. it won't help you. you deserve to shift just as much as the next person.

you're not special.. you shift too.

the veil is a thought you keep rehearsing

non-dualism teaches that separation is an illusion. no “you” over here, no “world” over there — just one flowing consciousness, dreaming itself awake. inner and outer, self and other, they’re all folds in the same fabric.

reality shifting and the law of assumption work because they tap into that. when you assume a reality, you’re not forcing the world to change — you’re shifting your belief in the “separation” between you and what you want. you’re waking up to the fact that your inner world is the outer world.

it’s like waking up from a dream inside a dream. your thoughts and beliefs shape the dreamscape, but the dreamer never really left the bed.

so when you practice shifting or manifesting through assumption, you’re not creating something new — you’re remembering that you and your reality are one, that the line between “me” and “everything else” is just a story we tell ourselves.

this is why it can feel so mysterious, even mystical. it’s not magic out there, it’s magic inside. we live deeply knowing that there’s no real division, just an endless unfolding of the same living presence.

if you struggle with shifting bc you cant help be distracted by random noises, your nose itching, your room being too hot and whatnot, just picture this.

you're a track runner. you have a race. during the race, you're gonna sweat, your heart is gonna beat very fast, your legs are gonna ache, the sweat might burn your nose, etc. but you're still on that track, running, and eventually finishing the race. yes they're inconvenient, but its background information. you're not doubting the existence or the distance you are from the finish line bc you can see it, its a certainty, a foolproof information in your head. are you gonna leave the race bc your sweat bothers you too much that it prevents you from reaching the end point? no, you keep going.

its been a game changer for me since i've adopted this mindset, saying this as an neurodivergent person with bad sensory issues. these little incoveniences are some fly around you you can forget/swap away, not an elephant blocking the way. they are floating around the way, not paving it.

happy shifting <3

Pulling away from her girlfriend and drawing her wand, Marlene begins to examine the section of corridor Corvin’s body had occupied. “You lot think the Marauders are bad, but at least when they get in trouble it doesn’t lead to DMLE involvement.” “Just another way we’re better,” Evan jokes under his breath, and Barty snorts a little.
