These mantras can be anything like, “I am vibrating at a higher frequency,” “I am in transit to my desired reality,” or “I am consciousness, pure and un-tethered.”
Do this in as much sensory detail as possible, and you shall soon be in your dream reality.
5. The ADHD Method

While you lie down and listen to audio, choose affirmations like “I am shifting to my desired reality.”
Try to sync the breath with the audio. Count from 1 to 5 after each affirmation and repeat it. As you sync with the sound and affirmation, soon, you will start feeling the shifting symptoms.
As soon as the symptoms start, begin to visualize the reality you wish to land in, and you shall soon be in there.
6. The Sunni Method
Sunni Method Shifting of reality is all about visualization. Due to the nature of the method, it is also very close to many people as it helps with manifestation in the physical world.
This method is all about tricking your brain into thinking that you are in a particular situation. It involves persuading your mind by saying that you are already in your desired reality. This can be induced by using shifting subliminals, sensations, or just plain silence.
One example is when you are just about to wake up from sleep, without opening your eyes, imagine yourself lying on a beach, feeling the breeze and the sounds.
Your subconscious is widely awake during this time, and you would find yourself on the beach the next moment.
7. The Intent Method

A firm resolve and belief that one can shift are enough to make the exercise effective.
However, a key factor to bear in mind is that the intent must be thought about or spoken right before you drift off to sleep.
For example- You can say, “I intend to shift to my desired reality as soon as I fall asleep”. The reason behind this is that the sooner you sleep after having set your intention, the lesser time your brain has to speculate or doubt it.
Also, it is best you are a bit drowsy and tired so that your mind is not full of active and chaotic thoughts, and the clarity of the intention is the main focus.
8. The Estelle Method

Once the dance is over, your pal says to you – “it’s time to go home” & opens the door for you. As you move through the door, you will freefall into absolute void.
You keep affirming that you are in your dream realm. As you feel the sensations, slowly open your subconscious eye.

Now feel the unification of yourself with your superior being and slowly open your eyes to be in your dream realm.
10. The Falling Method
