this isnt a shifting blog, i just post about stuff im terrified i'll get judged for if people knew it was me lol. and shifting happens to be a big one
word vomit pertaining to things i post about;
reality shifting, manifesting, soulbonding maybe, how my queerness and nonhumanity relates to these things
no dni
if you want to be friends, im open to the idea! just be aware responding takes a lot of energy and im not the quickest responder ahaha
You are not fundamentally different from the version of you that can shift, you can shift right fucking now. Nothing is stopping you from shifting. That doesn't mean I think it's "your fault" that you haven't, that means I think you are going to make it. Everything could change in seconds. Stop telling yourself you have to fix everything about you before you can shift. You have the exact same potential and ability as you would if you shifted.
your affirmations don’t have to be pretty. yes, they can be “~i am pure awareness, i claim everything i desire, i’ve shifted to my dr~” but they can also be “fuck yeah i’m in my dr, time to get piped”
i think about this constantly. tbh i was considering making a post about this too. a lot of my affirmations are really informal and use slang because that makes it feel more natural. and if it feels more natural, like something id say in daily conversation, then it feels easier to believe. it feels like theres actually a being behind those words
I’ve noticed a major problem on shiftblr that I haven’t seen on anybody shifting amino’s, or even Reddit, and the problem is queer inclusivity and cis normativity and heteronormativity.I understand the majority of shifters on shiftblr are cishet girls/women, but not everyone is and assuming that they all are is being exclusive. I’ve seen posts regarding people’s s/o’s and the poster always assumes that the readers s/o is male and the reader is a girl(most presumably cis, because I don’t really think anyone is considering the trans girls and women when they say “girlies” unfortunately)
I also find that it’s much more prevalent in LOAss blogs where they assume the person reading it is a girl, yes it’s mostly girls and women in this community, but it’s not just girls and women, and the shifting community is all about being limitless, so anyone of any gender and sexuality should feel safe and welcome and included in the community. Also one of the worst examples of this is when I saw a popular male shifting content creator on this app being misgendered by a popular female LOAss content creator.. and addressed him using she/her pronouns even though he has stated his pronouns before.. and has a male name. He politely corrected them and he didn’t seem angry from his words and use of emoji but it rubbed me the wrong way that LOAss blog creator just made such a brazen assumption, but I’m not too surprised as they use gender neutral terms for s/o scenarios in their posts and then proceed to make them all straight posts. It would be fine if they just properly labelled as boyfriend scenarios, otherwise it gives off a yucky insinuation that the person just sees s/o as another word for boyfriend when it’s a gender neutral term used to AVOID assuming the gender or sex of someone’s partner. Im not sure if they assumed that because he had a husband(didn’t even stop to think if the content creator could be male and just ge gay, just automatically assumed he was a woman)
I’m not gonna name any blogs out of privacy reasons and I’m pretty sure that person didn’t have bad intentions, but it just goes to show how a lot of non-queer shifters have this very heteronormative ideas of who is in the shifting community and that’s just so baffling to me because this community is all about embracing how limitless we are but people can’t even be bothered to use gender neutral terms when addressing people in the community instead of automatically assuming the persons gender and/or sex? I’ve seen multiple LOASSposts that just automatically assume the persons gender calling the reader “It girl” “Goddess” or sexual orientation by saying “Girl get your man!” “Manifest him!” “You and him!” And it could be on a post talking about general s/o scenarios, in the titles they don’t specify the gender. I once read a s/o scenario post just out of curiosity and every single one of the scenarios specified male x female, even though there was no mention that it was a male x female post in the title. It just used the gender neutral word s/o and that’s a big problem too because s/o is a gender neutral term to talk about somebody’s partner without assuming what their partners gender is, or what the persons sexual or romantic orientation is, not a synonym for boyfriend so you can just write male x female scenarios, I wish people actually understood the terms that they used before using them! If you’re gonna only make male x female scenarios, then people should absolutely be not using the word s/o that is a gender neutral term! Just call your post what it is, boyfriend scenarios! If you wanna write about bf x gf scenarios to script for straight people or people interested in being in heterosexual relationships like bi, pan, and omni(and other sexualities) that is fine and be my guest, BUT LABEL IT PROPERLY.
People should just be clear about the scenarios they are going to write. If it’s a post only specifically about bf x gf dynamics then people should specify that in the titles. It’s also annoying when cisgender straight girls/women expect queer women to be inclusive to them ON THEIR CLEARLY LABELLED WLW POSTS. There is a shifting blog creator I know here who is a lesbian and she had to make a post addressing how tired she was of this. It’s also about being inclusive to other genders as well, not just girl/woman, or boy/girl. I know some people like the idea of shifting being a one gendered club full of only girls and women(I heavily disagree nor do I like it at all cause I think shifting is something limitless and anyone of any gender should join and it’s only causing more problems for us as a community if we literally gatekeep it from specific genders, AND I MEAN COMMUNITY AS IN SHIFTBLR.)
But this is something literally everyone does all the time cause we all shift every single second and our community should be one of if not the most inclusive communities when it comes to people’s identities that’s the beauty of shifting, being limitless is what we stand for.
Also I wish that cispeople could place themselves in the shoes of Queer people for a moment, imagine finding a post that looks promising and it just automatically assumes your gender while some might not think it’s a big deal it can be a big deal and cause a lot of gender dysphoria for trans people and other queer gender identities. Or being a queer woman and being so excited to read a post about having a s/o and you think it’s a gender neutral post but the smile fading from your face realizing that it’s all talking about gf x bf dynamics.
Please make sure to label things properly because cisnormativity and heteronormativity can be extremely hurtful, and triggering to Queer people. I’ve also seen some borderline bioessentialist, gender essentialist stuff said here but it was framed in a “positive” “empowering” light which is very concerning, also most likely connected to the rise of TERFS in this community, I have seen some concerning stuff said by TERFS too which makes sense because transphobes say concerning things all the time.I I’m not saying shiftblr is bad, I think it’s helped me a lot in many ways, all I’m doing is pointing out some problems, and it’s not just me who feels this way, many queer people feel this way too, I’ve been in groups with people talking about this. One minor shifting blog made a post talking about it but their a pretty small blog, so it got like one like and I don’t even know if anyone even bothered to read it, except for a few people, its title was literally straight up huge bold words titled “INCLUSIVITY IN THE SHIFTING COMMUNITY.” But yes I think this community could be much more queer inclusive. All communities have their problems so let’s all be inclusive to each other! And please use proper labels for s/o scenarios. Happy shifting anyone.
SHIFTING & THE SENSES
a guide on why your senses are lying to you, and how to use that to your advantage.
today we’re diving into something i wish someone had told me sooner: your senses will lie to you. and that’s not a bad thing, it’s actually one of your biggest strengths when it comes to shifting.
so this post is all about: ✧ why your five senses aren’t the ultimate authority ✧ how to stop relying on them as “proof” ✧ what to do when “nothing feels different” ✧ how to use sensory detachment to your advantage
because here’s the truth: just because your body feels like you’re still here... doesn’t mean you are. just because you haven’t heard new sounds or smelled new air or seen a new ceiling doesn’t mean your shift didn’t happen.
you are awareness. and awareness doesn’t need permission from the senses to change reality.
WHY YOUR SENSES AREN’T PROOF OF ANYTHING
we grow up being taught that what we see, hear, touch, smell, and taste is reality. but here’s the thing no one tells you: your senses are just interpreters, not creators. and they are so easy to trick.
ever had a dream so vivid you swore it was real? ever felt your phone vibrate when it didn’t? ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there? yeah. your senses are not as reliable as you think.
your brain is constantly filtering and stitching together input to create the illusion of a stable “reality.” but when it comes to shifting, that illusion can get in the way because you start looking for proof in the wrong places.
you ask: ❝ why do i still feel my blanket? ❞ ❝ why do i still hear my fan? ❞ ❝ why don’t i see my DR room yet? ❞
but none of those things prove anything. you can shift and still feel your blanket. you can shift and still hear the same sounds. you can shift and still be processing sensory input from this reality while your awareness is already there.
your senses aren’t indicators of success — they’re just echoes of where your body used to be.
so if you're basing your progress on whether your senses “confirm” your shift… you’re handing your power over to something that was never meant to lead you.
you are not your senses. you are the awareness behind them. and that awareness? that’s what shifts.
HOW TO STOP RELYING ON THEM AS PROOF
detaching from your senses doesn’t mean ignoring your body or pretending you’re not here, it means choosing not to make them your ruler. you are not a slave to what you feel, hear, or see. you are the one directing the experience.
here’s how to begin shifting your relationship with sensory “evidence”:
1. remind yourself often: “sensation ≠ truth.” just because something feels “real” doesn’t mean it’s the only reality. your CR feels real because your mind is used to it, not because it’s more valid than your DR (desired reality). familiarity isn’t proof. it’s just programming.
2. stop checking. seriously. stop. i know it’s tempting; to peek your eyes open, to wiggle your fingers, to “test” if you’re still here. but that urge keeps you here. when you stop needing proof, that’s when the shift happens. don’t ask “am i still here?” say “i’m already there.”
3. anchor into awareness, not the senses. instead of focusing on your physical body, focus on your consciousness. notice your thoughts. your presence. the part of you that just is. when your senses flare up, say: 𖦹 “that’s just my body talking. i don’t need to answer.”
𖦹 “i can notice without identifying.”
4. embrace duality. you can feel your CR and be in your DR. you can exist in both places during the transition. some shifts are instant. others are layered. trust all versions. none are wrong.
5. shift from the inside out. instead of looking for change outside you, be the change. feel your DR internally. decide it’s real. and then let the rest catch up. because it will.
HOW TO USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
once you stop relying on your senses as the judge of reality, you unlock something powerful: freedom. because now you’re not waiting for a sign, you are the sign. and that means you can shift from anywhere, at any time, with no external confirmation needed.
here’s how to turn this detachment into power:
1. declare before the senses catch up. instead of waiting for things to feel different, decide that they already are. when you say “i’ve already shifted,” say it with the confidence of someone who doesn’t need proof. your senses will follow your belief not the other way around.
2. allow reality to delay — without doubting. sometimes your consciousness shifts before your perception catches up. this is normal. use that gap to your advantage: treat every second after your decision as a confirmation instead of a waiting room. you’re not waiting. you’re settling in.
3. narrate over your senses. if you feel your CR bed? tell yourself, “this is the last moment i’ll ever feel this blanket here.” if you hear your fan? “that’s just background noise. i’m already leaving.” own the narrative. hijack the meaning. create momentum with your words.
4. lean into imagination as reality. your DR already exists in consciousness. your senses just haven’t “loaded” yet. visualize, script, or embody as if you don’t need anything external because you don’t. the more real it feels inside, the faster it becomes true outside.
5. thank your CR senses — and move on. you can say: 𖦹 “thank you, body, but i don’t need your feedback anymore.”
𖦹 “i’m shifting now.”
when you stop fearing the lack of sensory change, it stops holding power over you. and then? shifting becomes fluid.
your senses don’t get the final say. they’re just noise — and you’re the silence beneath it. you are not behind. you are not doing it wrong. you are simply learning how to trust yourself louder than the world around you.
so the next time it feels like “nothing changed”…remind yourself: you already did.
hi i wanted to talk about something i rarely see addressed here — how the shifting community on tumblr doesn’t feel very inclusive toward neurodivergent people, especially autistic folks and others with brains that process and handle information differently.
loa dominates shiftblr, and while it works for some, it’s not as straightforward for everyone. for those of us whose brains don’t naturally regulate thoughts, emotions, or focus in the same way as neurotypicals, “just assume” or “just believe” isn’t a switch we can flip. our baseline cognitive wiring, sensory processing, and executive functioning create barriers that aren’t just about “trying harder” or “thinking more positively.”
when people say “everyone struggles with doubts” or “we all feel blocked sometimes,” they overlook that for neurodivergent people, these challenges are often constant, heightened, and involuntary — not occasional bumps in the road. the mental load is fundamentally different and the strategies that work for most might be inaccessible without adjustments.
it’s discouraging to be told JUST FO THIS without any breakdown of HOW to adapt it for different kinds of brains. the lack of practical, neurodivergent-friendly shifting advice makes this space feel exclusionary.
can we please start having conversations about inclusive methods, instead of assuming everyone’s brain works the same way? i’m not saying everyone has to overhaul their methods just for autistic or neurodivergent people but sometimes, having that kind of support, understanding, and flexibility can make all the difference.
why do some newbie shifters BEG for “proof” that shifting is real like their life depends on it…
Posting for the shifters who like possessive and obsessive partners
(I know I need help)
i have absolutely no shame for this
I love this method because It's super simple and easy to follow! plus it normally gives me really good results!
through this method I have successfully shifted x5 and manifested a multitude of things like appearance changes!
NOTE: It's important to understand that everyone is different and personal methods (in my opinion) that are personalized for you can help connect you better with your inner self!
RELAX!!! have a cup of herbal tea <3, get into a comfortable position and just let your mind wander! I find that forcing your mind to be quiet doesn't work for me and just makes me way more stressed :(
After you feel more settled start to count your breathes (not mandatory it just relaxes me!) and affirm whatever you want (shifting or manifesting either way!) don't chant just let the feeling take you away. Feel free to move all you want while doing this, comfort is important!
as you affirm focus on the back of your eyelids, eventually I get bored of affirming and start to list facts or about my dr or whatever I'm manifesting (i.e. 'my birthday is the 3rd of January 1978' or for example with manifesting 'I always get compliments on my hair')
Finally as I start to fall asleep I affirm something along the lines of:
customize how you like!
Happy shifting!!!!
dude i know we hound on people for checking the 3d and all that but can i please just say that not checking and just assuming is hard, can i please express that for two seconds 😭
like id like to focus a bit on how difficult it was for me to come around to the idea of shifting and loa. i have absolutely zero idea how i got here in one piece tbh. because on my journey of just accepting that these things exist??? holy fuck dude that was kind of a nightmare.
and it's specifically because i grew up in a way where i had to make sure i had control on as much of myself as possible. i could not let anything slip. everything must be within my grasp and i cannot leave anything up to chance. my knuckles will turn new colors from holding on.
and when that mindset drives your entire life, your actions, your beliefs, all that? of course it's hard to let go. your brain is CONVINCED something horrible will happen if you let go. "I CANT LET GO BECAUSE IF I DO I WILL BE IN DANGER. I DONT KNOW WHATS AHEAD AND I WILL NOT TAKE THAT RISK." my mind screams. that first step is terrifying because that fear is tangible. so i always found the advice of "just let go. surrender." complete and utter bullshit because its?? not that easy??? you cant ""just let go"" its not that easy. see? i was living in that state of "i must watch myself" for so long that i believed it simply wasnt possible to "just let go" with ease.
so how i got to this point? yeah i don't have a clue. i can only imagine it was by blocking out all outside noise and what everyone said and claiming everything i said to be my own and nobody elses. because if its my own, it cant hurt me. nobody's talking over me. like it still hurt the entire time, i was changing my core beliefs, of course it hurt. but i think my desire to believe that shifting was real kept pushing me along. i wanted to believe it really was possible. and i got there in the end, somehow.
and that residue of "it is NOT that fucking easy, shut the hell up" is still there sometimes. but i try and soothe it by saying "its easy if i say it is. and if i say it, nobodys talking over us. we are the only voice that speaks."
idk tld;dr please give grace to those of us who express frustration with shifting/manifesting/loa and say its hard. please remember other people come from different backgrounds. please remember some of us were talked over for our whole lives and you saying "youre why youre not shifting" can really damage someone. please be kind
I wish that more shifters talked about shifting for family. The idea of shifting to be with your s/o and one true person is beautiful, but for me I’ve always loved the idea of shifting to have a family and poured my heart into the idea of family. My relationship with my CR family is complicated and while I’m treated well, I know I would never be accepted as my true self, because they believe people like me are inherently bad, and trying to disrupt the world(I’m queer)
But with my DR family, the one I scripted and created for myself, I can finally understand the meaning of the words “Family first” because I know that I will put my DR family first. They will accept and love me unconditionally, and have similar beliefs and values as me, even if we disagree it won’t ever be on things like race, sex(I mean like the physical body, male, female, intersex, not intercourse) gender, and sexuality or romantic orientation, classism, or any discrimination or oppression, and my dr world will be free of things that have genuinely traumatized and hurt me so much and the world will be beautiful. My DR family truly loves me unconditionally.
I adore them. Being able to have a family that I have a safe place with, before I scripted my dr family, when I was younger I used to hate the idea of familial bonds and got upset whenever I heard the lines “family is everything” “family is first” and I much preferred friendship and found family. But now, I have found my family, and for once I can sit through Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again and not cringe or get annoyed.. because my family that I’m thinking about is my DR family.
I’m someone who’s been parentiifed in this reality, I’m still a teenager, but I finally get to go to my DR have a loving and huge supportive family, and be taken care of by my parents and just enjoy my childhood and do all the lovely things and hobbies! Plus I’ll be living with my extended family too cause I’ve really grown to love the “village model” and the idea of international living! But my house is extremely big so everyone will have enough space for all of them and it’s going to be warm and lovely! No generational trauma!
I’ll finally be accepted, and I think that this is something extremely beautiful that I’ve done for myself, while I am biologically related to my dr family, I chose them!(from this reality) and I can’t wait to go home and be with my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and other relatives!
