I’ve felt weird sensations during my shifting attempts, and I’m not sure if they’re still normal because I’m still here
Hello! I’ve been trying to shift using subliminals (without any specific methods or even visualizations) since May. So far, these are two of my most extreme instances of when I actually felt something happening:
(I’m putting the dates based on an Asian time zone, not saying where specifically for privacy reasons.)
JULY 8, 2026
At around 4:30 p.m., I was listening to a shifting subliminal that has specific benefits of taking me to the void. I took 3 deep breaths before falling asleep on my right side. I woke up after an hour, and proceeded to try napping—again on my right side—with the audio still playing. Then, it happened. My arms started to feel weird and tingly. So, I opened my eyes and saw my room, but they kept getting shut back to sleep—causing me to then feel a sudden surge of sleepiness and weird sensations in my head, as well as seeing weird lights while my eyes are closed. I attempted to open my eyes several times, which just reverted me back to the weird lights and stuff. Also, I couldn’t move! Mind you, I was aware of all of this and everything around me. Eventually, I was able to snap out of it by forcing myself to lay on my back. I was still here, though I wasn’t scared because I thought I was close to my desired reality.
AUGUST 9, 2026:
Just earlier, at around 3:30 p.m., I was listening to a shifting subliminal—not similar to the one I used before, and it was my first time listening to that specific sub. Then*,* I fell asleep on my right side. I don’t think I ever woke up like last time, so this all probably happened while I was asleep. Anyway, it did happen again—similar sensations, only this time, I kept seeing animated characters that seem to be glowing like holograms? Also, I couldn’t see my room because my face was pressed onto a pillow lmao. ANDDD, I decided to repeat affirmations in my mind. However, I noticed I was still there and not actually being transported to my desired reality (and I guess I was kind of scared because I have been in that state for so long), so I kept forcing myself to wake up. I woke up eventually, but I’m still here.
Now, I’m a bit worried because I don’t know if it’s normal to feel those, as I have never encountered anyone who also went through the same, specific thing. Also, I’m still in this reality despite being able to feel those sensations. However, I have only felt them twice, and in both occasions, I’ve been intending to shift out of this reality.
So my questions are:
- Do you think this is normal at all?
- If so, what can I possibly do to shift without so many efforts, methods, and visualizations (I can’t really visualize)?
- Should I try to revise my past instead? Would that be any easier?
Thank you!
