i’m so tired of seeing the word minishift

just fucking say you shifted

let's clear out some shifting misinformation. what you don't have to do! you DON'T need anything to shift.

you DON'T need to be in a good/bad/any mood to shift. it doesn't matter, you can use your emotions to shift but it's not needed.

you DON'T have to robotic affirm to shift.

you DON'T have to meditate to shift. (don't get me wrong, these things might help you and might not. it's all up to you. you don't need any of that, but it can help. it's all based on your mindset.) the things you CAN do! you CAN just fall asleep with the intention to shift. it's a 50/50, if you truly believe it will work then it will!

you CAN have doubts. it's okay, it's a normal human thing to have doubts and they won't stop you.

you CAN shift with blockages. they don't matter, just accept them and move on. you can try to remove them but you can shift with them anyway. don't let them hold you back.

That's it for now!! If you have any questions feel free to ask me in my profile! Happy shifting!! 111 222 333

Do you know how to set an intention before sleeping? I want to wake up in the void by just setting the intention.

Hey babes! 💖 Setting an intention before sleep is such a powerful way to align with your desires, including waking up in the void state. Here’s a simple way to do it:

1. Clarify Your Intention: Decide clearly what you want, which is to wake up in the void state. Keep it simple and specific, like: “I will wake up in the void effortlessly.”

2. Affirm as You Fall Asleep: While you’re drifting off, repeat your intention in a calm and relaxed way. You can say, “When I wake up, I’ll be in the void,” or “I easily wake up in the void state.” Let this be the last thought in your mind.

3. Feel Confident: As you set your intention, feel the calm knowing that it’s going to happen. Don’t stress about the "how"—just trust that you’ll wake up in the void. The key is to feel relaxed and expectant.

4. Let Go: After you’ve affirmed your intention, let go of the need to control the process. The more relaxed you are, the easier it will be for your subconscious to guide you to the void state naturally.

Remember, you don’t have to force anything. With consistent practice, your subconscious will start aligning with your intention, and you’ll notice it happening more effortlessly. 💫

You’ve got this! 💖

✩How to shift via lucid dream.✩

I am sharing my personal research and experience on achieving lucidity and shifting.

Lucid dreaming is an easy and fun way to experience things under your control. While shifting is not something you can control once you've done it. you can script and specify what reality you go to, but your actions have true consequences. Whereas when you lucid dream, your actions do not have consequences.

Approach lucid dreaming as something fun and enjoyable. if you find it stressful, it will impede your journey or prevent it entirely. Not to say you can only do these things with no doubts.

(what do i do personally as someone who regularly lucid dreams on the daily basis?)

Reality checks are your best friend! i personally prefer to count my fingers because, in my dreams, i have more than five fingers. So when i reality-check throughout the day and see that i have five fingers, i know i am not dreaming. when i go to look down at my hands in my dreams, lucidity will be triggered. there are many ways to reality check and you don't have to follow exactly what i do. everyone's journey is different.

(reality checking)

simply looking around and observing your surroundings is a good way to begin lucidity. Something you might notice in your dreams is that your surroundings are out of place and wonky. Whereas when you're awake, you can tell things are as they should be. if you take time out of your day to stop and look around, making sure everything is in place, these actions will eventually subconsciously carry onto your dream world, enhancing the possibility to induce a lucid state.

(consistency)

consistency is key. despite it being a drag, it will go well for you in the long run. your subconsciousness doesnt have eyes, you have to train it.

(what do i do when lucid?)

I become aware of my surroundings. in other words, i am lucid. i go through my usual routine of checking my reality and fingers to remember my goals. I then proceed to increase my lucidity. how? By solving complex problems to ensure i am using good l am using good logic and that i am thinking clearly. i sit down and attempt to breathe in, no longer attempting to create a portal or go through a door as there is likely to be inconsistencies with that method. Don't try to create the world. Rather just go to it. feel your desired reality surroundings. How does it smell? what room are you in? what emotions are you feelings? just focus on the world that already exists.

me every time i think about my dr

me wondering if smthn im abt to script is realistic then i remember its literally MY reality so i can do anything

shifting/manifesting is like a car. you’re driving the car. you also get to decide where to go. you’re also the car and the gasoline and the music and everything. you’re also the destination. and the stops along the way. and the food and cigarettes you buy at the gas station.

you’re everything!

have fun on your travels! 🚕

notice how most of the successful shifting story times are people saying ‘i gave up and just went to bed’, ‘i just took a nap’, ‘i just affirmed and fell asleep’.

mhm. mhm. fuck methods, all you need is yourself!

THE HYPNAGOGIC STATE: A GUIDE

being a shifter is when ure itching to overshare about your dr and then remembering that’s like giving out your personal info in this reality..

IDK WHICH DR IM GONNA SHIFT TO UGHHHHHHH WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY INTRESTS T^T

i was so glad when i realized i could just describe shit in my scripts instead of trying to look for images that match what i want. can't find a face claim? imma describe it and let my subconscious handle the rest bcuz i know what i mean. those years of writing fanfics when i was in middle school are FINALLY helping me with something!

shifting is crazy bc wdym i’m burping fire in one reality and flying with unicorns in another

i’m living the life and ur not! womp womp!

my complete guide to sleep paralysis and shifting

Please please look here before sending another ask about it. If it’s a unique question then it will be added here. Instead of answering each individual ask. I just combined them here. Each question is a paraphrased version of your ask. If you weren’t anonymous I tagged you, or if you left an emoji I put that in the question to indicate what was yours.

How do I induce sleep paralysis?/I noticed you mange to get sleep paralysis and since I'm trying to get it to for the void state, do you have any tips for a guaranteed way to enter sleep paralysis and maybe your method too?/For sleep paralysis I only need to lie down and wait for my body to fall asleep and my brain thinking I am already asleep right?/ I’d like to ask if you listen to anything while inducing it ? And if you affirm for sp or the mantra “mind awake body sleep" ? / I just wanted to ask if you had any methods or tips for people who struggle with inducing sleep paralysis also is there a DR that you visit frequently 🌻 💙 (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

I’ve always naturally had sleep paralysis. If usually occurred when I was scared or on edge at night. I sometimes got it in an unfamiliar location. Sleep paralysis was something I started to get around ten to twelve, when I’d be scared at night. I’d wake up in it at night and later began to shift through it. But eventually I stopped getting it so I started to induce it. I usually wake up throughout the night anyways. I’ve always have. So once I make myself kind of paranoid. I lay down to sleep and close my eyes for about 5 minutes. As I fall asleep I open my eyes for about a minute. And I kind of do that over and over again until my eyes are heavy. Then I just wake up in sleep paralysis once I’m finally asleep. But I don’t always have to induce it and sometimes still wake up in it. It only takes me about five minutes to shift from it. I don’t listen to anything because I usually wake up in the middle of the night with it and my AirPods are already dead by then. When I affirm, I just say whatever I want. Usually it’s I’m shifting or specific affirmations to my dr. I usually but it can be longer like fifteen minutes. The dr I visit the most frequently is probably my main dr because it’s very chill old money vibes.

Do I have to be in sleep paralysis or some altered state to shift?/Is Sleep Paralysis necessary because I like to shift from it?

No. Definitely not. You can shift however you want to. I personally shift a lot of the times by just thinking about where I want to go. So you can do whatever really. The only commonality about every shifting success was that I eventually became so focused on my dr that I wasn’t thinking of anything else and convinced I was there. Every method and state is kind of to help get to that point.

Aren’t all methods, including sleep paralysis, dependent on mindset, like needing to convince myself that I can achieve it or shift from it? Should I try to push past the doubts and fully convince myself that I can do it?

There is no need to fix your mindset to achieve sleep paralysis or shift from it. Plenty of people do both of these things without knowing and with no knowledge of how it works. I don’t why people still think a mindset change is necessary. It’s only as necessary as you make it. I never changed my mindset instead I kind of just trust that whatever I do it’ll work out just how it needs to. But I’ve always kind of been like that. If you feel like changing your mindset will help you trust in yourself. Then do it. But all you need to do is trust yourself.

Doesn’t getting sleep paralysis feel like when you shift? Like when you get SP it’s instant and you just KNOW you’re in there, is it the same with shifting?

It’s kind of like that I guess. I’d put it more closely to falling asleep where it’s kind of gradual with sounds and smells, and then all of a sudden your asleep or there and everything loads instantly into your mind.

And I was wondering what is the next step when in SP? Do I just affirm and visualize my dr and it manifests instantly?

Usually once I get into sleep paralysis, I just start affirming and thinking about where I’m going. Sleep paralysis is not the void state. At least not in my experience. When I shift through sleep paralysis it takes maybe five minutes. And I hear sounds and smells, and then I shift. While with the void state it is instant.

Should I keep trying to induce sleep paralysis despite feeling scared, or should I explore other methods?

Not if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Methods only work (at least for me) if you want to be doing them. If you’re just doing it because everyone else is. It’s just going to make you drag your feet about it. Explore other methods and if that feels better keep going.

How do you push through the state when your body resists falling asleep while trying to shift with sleep paralysis, and has this ever been an issue for you?

Just chill out really and don’t care about it. Just focus on what outcome you want from it. I.e. your dr. I usually fall asleep first then wake up later on in the night. And then either get sleep paralysis or try to induce it. You should ideally be awake but not too awake. And do not turn on your phone at all. For any reason.

I experience sleep paralysis daily, so I’ve been trying to shift with it, but I can only get to the point where my body feels like it’s in a different position and I’m visualizing my desired reality, but can’t progress further./Could you offer any advice or tips to help me successfully achieve sleep paralysis for accessing the void, as I’ve only experienced some heat and vibrations so far?/I want to try shifting through sleep paralysis, but I either fall asleep or end up moving after 45 minutes of trying; do you have any tips to help me stay in the paralysis state?

Just keep going with it. If it feels right just keep trying it until you find a rhythm that works for you. It might be a good sign for you that you are feeling something. Especially if you never felt any type of symptoms with shifting. I can only really tell you to experiment with different things and see what gets you closest. And what makes you feel the most positive. However, if you feel it’s not working. Or if you tried everything and it doesn’t work. Then it might not be for you or you can just detach your emotions from the method. And just do it for fun and not to get anything out of it. The only tips I can really give you is to somehow do the opposite of whatever you’ve been doing. If it hasn’t worked so far then flip it on its head. Try a more uncomfortable position, do affirmations of don’t do them. Just experiment with them.

Do you have any tips for overcoming the discomfort of the “roll over signal” when trying to manually induce sleep paralysis?/Is it normal to feel a burning weight on my back during sleep paralysis when trying to shift, and should I wait longer despite the discomfort to see if it eventually works?/As soon as the roll over signal disappears and I feel like heavy I start to “panic” because I feel so close to shifting which makes me sabotage my own attempt?

When that happens to me I just focus on the itching going away and think of myself scratching it. It usually goes away after a bit. It just feels really bad while it’s happening but lasts about four minutes. So just keep pushing through. I take things like that as I sign I’m shifting when I’m uncomfortable. Because usually when I’m uncomfortable I’m close to shifting. Because the itching or burning is more of an illusion. Whenever I stop to scratch it’s literally not there. So I just think of it to be as a hurdle I have to cross. And just continue to wait longer and distract myself. Just take it easy really and observe and relish in the journey of getting there. You’re going to shift eventually just watch it come to pass.

I want to try this but the sleep paralysis thing scares me😭 I’ve never even experienced that (that I’m aware of) but the idea of it freaks me out. Is it scary?/How do you get into a sleeping paralysis 😭😭 it kinda sounds scary because when I think of sleeping paralysis I think of these demon looking things .. is it even the same thing??

I don’t think it’s that scary. When I have it I’m pretty calm. A little freaked out that I can’t move but it’s pretty easygoing. I’ve never experienced hallucinations while in it but some people do. Although I think the amount of people that do isn’t that much. As a lot of people probably get it but never talk about it because it’s not remarkable.

Hi!, do i have to open my eyes when i enter sleep paralysis or can i keep them closed and still shift because during sleep paralysis my eyes aren’t open i just see black, thank you.

Good question. Again sleep paralysis is not the void state. Whenever I have had sleep paralysis I can’t move anything at all. It’s kind of forced to be closed because you cannot move anything at all.

How are you, Leyden? I am a beginner shifter, at some point I can easily get to paralysis sleep and control my dreams, however sometimes there are moments when doubts or fears kick in, but I always try my best to convince myself to believe that I can shift (I had mini-shift) So, as you said earlier on, one of your posts you always knew that you are meant to see others realities, and that is happening with me, deep inside I know the reality I'm in right now is not where i should be, like I don't know how to explain, but I know I was born for something bigger. I'm only 17 years old 😅 I simply wanted to share my thoughts, because, I think I'm close for something.. anyway, thank you, Leyden. Your posts are the best! 🐆

Thank you so much! At first it was hard to convince myself that I could actually shift. But the more you do it the more real it becomes. To kind of relieve the doubts. I would kind of soothe my brain to stop caring about what you’re experience. And just take it in for what it is.

Hi! I have a question—last night I tried WBTB or SP, but I kept getting scared when my heart started beating fast. Later, I think I fell asleep on my side but woke up unable to move, with everything vibrating and only hearing the music I was listening to—was this sleep paralysis or something else?

That definitely seems to be sleep paralysis. Usually you can hear when you have it. At least I can and I often feel the vibrations. So congratulations!

That’s all the asks I have as of now about sleep paralysis. I hoped that answered all of them.

@angelfromtokyo @idcdrivefor24 @d34d3nd @nabia-bia

So guys the mabs stage is as instant as the void and thank you @sirensplayhouse for answering my question

me realising that i can literally use sleep paralysis to enter the void state, lucid dream, astral project, shift and more >>>

— WAYS TO INDUCE SLEEP PARALYSIS

here are three ways to induce sleep paralysis.

*REMINDER: the “demons” are not real. you get them bc you’re very scared and your mind starts to conform to your thoughts. since in SP your subconscious is very open to suggestion, it will be a scary experience. think of positive stuff like your dr for example.

also you can literally use SP to get to the void state, lucid dream, astral projection and more.

(1) WAKE BACK TO BED

go to sleep and wake up after 4-6 hours

stay up for 1-2 hours and lay back down

don’t move too much

you will feel SP symptoms after 5-10 minutes

then boom, you have it.

you may wish to shift, or even get into the void state.

(2) TAKE NAPS IN THE AFTERNOON

go to sleep for 4 hours in the afternoon

stay up for 6 hours

go back to sleep again and you feel symptoms IMMEDIATELY.

it’s the same as wbtb but it’s like a PM version so if you know you won’t be able to get up early then do this.

works for me all the time but ion use this as much bc i did it when i had school so i was tired in the afternoon.

(3) STAYING STILL

stay in a still position for 15-20 minutes

you can listen to a sp subliminal

if you feel a scratch or tickle do NOT entertain it.

repeat the affirmations: “MIND AWAKE, BODY ASLEEP”

you should get SP.

hope this helps !

— HOW TO LUCID DREAM

*this requires a disruption of your sleep schedule which may cause sleep paralysis, do not do this if you aren’t comfortable.

*this is what has worked for me, you can always remix it.

Wake Back To Bed is probably the best method

i get lucid dreams without even intending to

so i set an alarm to wake me up after 5-6 hours of sleep

this is important because this time stamp is during your REM period, where you dream.

once i wake up i stay up for 20-90 minutes and go back to bed

i go back to bed and i get sleep paralysis and after a few minutes i will enter a dream

i look at my hands and they looked messed up so that’s how i know i’m dreaming.

i couldn’t even give you a specific number of how many lucid dreams i’ve had bc it works that well for me.

once you master this you can SHIFT to your dr

TO SHIFT

you can affirm, visualise etc to shift to your dr. that’s it.

before this you should ground yourself, perform reality checks like looking at your hands, poking ya finger through your hands etc.

i’m pretty sure it can be used as both an awake/sleep method.

hope this helps !

i’ve been persisting for 2 days now, and everytime i close my eyes, i can just see my dr, it’s so easy to feel it as well.

i’m shocked because i haven’t been able to visualize in first person, only in third because i dissociate so much in this reality, and it makes me so out of touch with my body, but it’s happening naturally,

i also thought i’d have a hard time distinguishing myself and the main character from my book, but it’s so easy, because i’m not her.

it’s actually so easy to persist when you get it into your subconscious, i also think just talking about my dr as if i were there helped as well. i could shift anyday now.

some of yall need to stop scripting and write a novel. wdym fully fleshed out worlds??? multiple nations with different stories and backgrounds for each of them?!!!? animals, multiple people you've scripted in??? baby that is a fantasy novel waiting to be written and i wanna read it !!

So as you can see this sp thread was posted by @/diorsreturn_ on twitter, you should really check her out she's amazing. Sleep paralysis is an amazing and unique way to manifest and shift. I've always been a void person but I'm focusing on sp now. It's not for everyone but if you aren't afraid of being in sp (which you shouln't fear really) then try it out and follow her steps! As she said it's super easy and don't overcomplicate it. Just do it!<3

me after coming up with a new scenario for my script

a star is born every time a shifter kisses their s/o in their dr

used this last night to enter sleep paralysis & it’s actually insane 😭

how I shift reality using the law of assumption ✧⁠*⁠。

first of all, I have the assumption that I just say "I'll wake up in my xxx dr" and then go straight to sleep to shift. I don't want to make shifting too complicated.

how I shift

I choose my dr

before going to sleep I affirm that I will wake up in my dr

I sleep

and boom I wake up in my dr!

almost shifted this morning wow
