The melting method shifting technique has you picture your desired reality (DR) bedroom right below your current reality (CR) bedroom, then imagine melting down through your bed and floor into it. It is a gentle reality shifting method built on letting go, and some shifters call it the melt method. Shifters have shared it on TikTok, YouTube and Wattpad since 2020.
Sometimes we have a hard time doing something because we are trying too hard. We are holding tension that we should be releasing. We are clinging when we should be letting go.
This guide will teach you how to perform the Melting method shifting step-by-step. We also will share a variation with you and answer some common questions.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Melting Method Shifting
- Start by putting on your theta waves, subliminals, etc. (if you want), and meditating or doing relaxation exercises in bed. You can lie in any position, but the starfish position will probably work best for this method.
- Once you are relaxed and focused, you should imagine that your DR bedroom is right beneath the floor of your CR bedroom. In other words, picture that it is downstairs.
The most shared version of this method says that you should picture the DR bedroom upside-down, like a mirror image. Picturing it this way positions your DR bed close to your CR bed, just on the other side of the floor. You can picture an outline where your DR self is.
If you find this confusing, you do not need to picture it this way. You can just imagine your DR bedroom right-side-up directly below your CR bedroom, like a normal downstairs room in a building.
- Count from 1 to 100 or to any number you choose. As you go, you should pause and recite shifting affirmations.
- When you start to feel shifting symptoms, shifters take it as a sign they are getting close. At this point, picture that you are infused with positive, relaxing energy, taking away all your tension.
That energy is causing you to melt and sink through your mattress, then down through the floor, and into your DR bedroom. As you melt into your DR body, your DR bedroom resolves into focus.
- Keep reciting (or thinking) your affirmations, such as “I am in my DR” or “I have shifted,” and imagine yourself becoming solid again in your DR body. Wait until that feels real before you open your eyes. Shifters who open them too soon often say they did not stick the landing.
- Open your eyes, expecting to see your DR, or let yourself fall asleep intending to wake up there.
If nothing happens, try again another night. Shifters say it often takes many tries. And if shifting has started to feel like the only way out of a hard time, take a break, read Is reality shifting dangerous? and talk to someone you trust.
If you prefer shifting methods without visualization, do not despair, because you can still use this method. If this is your situation, do not worry about trying to visually picture melting into your DR room.
Instead, try and imagine what it feels like if you can. If that does not work, simply affirming it is happening and understanding the concept of it might be enough to get you to your destination.
A Simple Variation on the Melting Method Shifting
One idea we like for varying the Melting Method is to involve water. A lot of people have pools or tubs in their waiting rooms.
So, if you are shifting to your Waiting Room, try and include a water feature. You could imagine yourself melting through the floor of your current reality and directly into the water in your WR.
You could then coalesce out of it into your DR body.
If You Like the Melting Method, You May Also Like the Falling Method
The Melting Method entails imagining you are melting and then letting gravity do the hard work of taking you to your DR.
If you like that concept but have a hard time with the “melting” aspect of it, you could try the Falling Method Shifting as an alternative technique.
With the Falling technique, you allow yourself to simply fall down through a void to reach your desired reality. You might even be able to combine this technique with aspects of the Melting Method for your perfect custom shifting method.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Melting Method
Now that you have read through the steps for the Melting Method, you are ready to try it. But you might have a couple of questions first. Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about this technique.
Will it cause problems if you move while doing Melting method?
It might. Every time you move, you will be jerking your awareness back into your solid body in your current reality. If this happens in mid-melt, you might find yourself needing to start over again. Do your best to lie utterly still during the melting step. Small things like swallowing do not count, shifters say, as long as you do not focus on them.
Will people in your desired reality see you “melting” into your DR?
The answer is “no, probably not.” They are no more going to see you suddenly melting into their universe than they will spot you falling into it, walking through a magical door into it, materializing out of a bright light into it, etc. Shifters believe only your awareness moves, so to people in your DR, you would simply have been lying in bed the whole time. It is quite an inconspicuous way to travel.
How long does the melting method take?
There is no set time. By our own rough estimate, counting slowly to 100, one number per breath at 5 to 10 breaths a minute, takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Add the time you spend relaxing first and the melt itself.
Does the melting method really work?
No one has shown that anyone shifts to another reality. Shifters who use it describe heaviness, tingling or a sinking feeling as they count, and some say they reached their DR. For what the research does say, read Is reality shifting real?
What if I fall asleep before I melt?
That is fine, and it does not mean you failed. The melting method has a sleep ending, and if you always drift off, our sleep shifting methods guide has routines built for that.
