How I Managed To Shift 62 Times

❛ WAKE UP IN THE VOID STATE WITH 4 - 7 - 8 BREATHING TECHNIQUE ❜

What is 4 - 7 - 8 breathing technique?

— The 4-7-8 breathing technique which helps to reduce anxiety and fall asleep faster. It involves inhaling for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds

How to wake up the void state with this technique?

You will lay in Starfish postion and start doing the 4 -7-8 breathing where u will count 1 2 3 4 and inhale and hold it 5 6 7 and exhale it in 8 this thoroughly relax your body from head to toe and most of time u will also stop thinking ( and yes ignore the symptoms)

Also you can play subliminal / hypnosis in the background and and here's the breath technique video u can play while doing the breathing exercises

When u feel you're fully relaxed you will start chanting ' I command my subconscious to wake me up in the void/ I always wake up in the void aware ' affrim till you fall asleep and boom u will wake up in the void state

That's it you don't need anything do through out the day do as you wish 🤍

— 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 !

the new medication I’m taking gives me the same full body tingles that shifting does and it’s making me feel more motivated than ever before

idk where I’m shifting to, but I know I’m shifting

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.

trying to manifest.

in manifesting, we don’t try to manifest. there are three steps to it ⋮ 1 ⋮ picking a desire ⋮ 2 ⋮ assuming it to be yours and ⋮ 3 ⋮ persisting in that assumption aka enjoying it in imagination. none of these steps include "trying" because whenever you "try" to manifest, you automatically fail.

there is no trying.

you aren’t trying to manifest. when you manifest, you don’t attempt to. you simply BECOME. you simple ARE. you simply HAVE. the more you try, the more you will experience trying it. but he more you ARE, the more you will experience BEING it.

the state of trying.

my perspective on trying to manifest changed when i understood that to try represents a STATE as well (shouout to edward art). it's a CONCEPT of self. it's a FEELING. trying to get, trying to achieve, trying to attain, trying to resolve, trying to attract … these are all FEELINGS. feelings that you internalise within and take with you before you imagine.

the trying self.

if you keep trying to manifest, you will forever continue to remain in this state of trying, not embodying or experiencing. remember, self must be expressed and your assumptions of self must harden to fact. the outer world can only reflect your inner world. if you identify as the version of self that tries and waits for their desires, this version of you HAS to be expressed. only when you truthfully BECOME your desired version, your external reality will have to reflect it back to you.

trying and being.

let’s imagine two people. person A and person B. person A and B are both manifesting their desires. when you ask them about their desires, this is how they would respond:

A · i manifested my desires. i am experiencing them in my imagination. i already am who i want to be and have what i want to have.

B · i'm trying to manifest my desires. i'm trying to live in the end but i don't fully believe in it. i haven’t really identified with my desired version of self so far.

person A is identifying as a person who already has become their desired self whereas person B hasn't. one person is identifying with the END while the other one is still identifying with the PROCESS.

less trying, more being.

the feeling of trying is nowhere near the feeling of being. it’s incomplete. it’s unfinished. it will leave you feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. the state of trying will only drain you out of energy. and it will forever hinder you from feeling the feelings you wish to feel.

but before a feeling or a state (they both mean the same) gets materialised, it has to exist somewhere before. before it occurs on the OUTside, it first occurred on the INside. in conclusion, ALL states belong to you. ALL of them can only exist if you permit them to. only if you give allowance and acceptance to a state, it can take place in the physical.

moral of the story? don’t try becoming it. just BE it.

with love, ella.

My mind when I’m shifting be like…

— 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 !

VOID STATE: MAYBE JUST RELAX FIRST?

remove all that weight off your shoulders ᥫ᭡

For those using the void to shift to their perfect life and losing motivation I wanted to give you an idea: I want you to try for the void, but not with the intention of manifesting anything, just do it as a form of relaxation and meditation. You can enter the void and I know that you can. But putting the void on a pedestal is what keeps you from it, you may be denying those claims and think you don’t hold the void to such a high standard. But wait, wait, wait, lemme tell you something:

the void is an amazing way to manifest, everyone knows that, it’s 10000% guaranteed that you will get all that you wish for in the void, you can change your genetics, the structure of your face, heal sickness, have as much money as you want with just one trip to the void. And it seems to good to be true, it’s a golden ticket for you to do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING you want. And knowing that you have many desires to fulfil in the void and you have unknowingly put a lot of weight on your shoulders as you feel like you need to enter the void to get all that you want.

That pressure isn’t healthy which is why i recommend going to the void just for relaxation purposes at first, tell your brain that you aren’t worried about your dreams for now and just want to try the void as a normal, standard meditation. With the pressure out the window you are guaranteed the void.

You can remember your desires in the void and be like “hold up, lemme cook” or you may feel so taken aback and in awe that you could just sit in the void for some minutes and eventually snap out of it. And that’s okay, because you can use that void experience to fuel your confidence on the void in general. And you can use that confidence that you got from going in to simply relax, take that confidence and get to the void a second time for your desires.
