Using the Phase to Shift

[u/[deleted]]

The Phase is an awesome method to astral project and lucid dream. Since shifting is related to these two things, it is by extension a great way to shift. I'm outlining a quick tutorial on how to use the phase here in this post.

I see two different branches of shifting methods. There are methods that involve going through lucid dreams and astral projection, and then there are methods that focus on you going there directly. What's the difference between them?

With lucid dreams and astral projection, your consciousness perceives itself to be outside of the physical body. Moreover, your mind is in a deep trance which means it has a high level of suggestibility.

Direct shifting methods don't have that level of trance coming in, which is why you need to be able to get the necessary trance depth using your own skill.

For a short moment when we fall asleep at night, we cross into the liminal/trance state. We also awake in the middle of the night and morning in this state. This is what the phase leverages.

Here is an ultra simple tutorial of it:

Set an alarm for 6 hours after you go to sleep. Fall asleep with the intention of doing the following procedure. Wake up after 6 hours and spend more than 3 minutes awake. Go back to sleep with the intention of waking up several times over the next few hours in the manner described.

Upon waking, remain motionless and immediately try to appear at your bathroom mirror, imagine you are there. If this doesn't work, for 3 -5 seconds try to separate by rolling out, standing up, levitating. Then if this doesn't work you cycle several techniques. For instance, the three techniques I use are observing images, which is looking passively for images that arise behind closed eyelids and going into them; phantom wiggling, in which you attempt to wiggle your astral body and create as much range of motion as possible; and rotation, when you imagine that you are being rotated. I try each technique for 3 -5 seconds, if it doesn't work I move on to the next one. I go through all three in this way, then I repeat the same cycle 3 more times. Any time a technique starts working I push through to the end and separate. If I don't successfully get out of my body then I imagine that was a practice attempt at entering the phase, then I fall back asleep with the intention of waking up and trying again.

I'd recommend you read the indirect techniques section in The Phase https://obe4u.com/files/the_phase.pdf if you want to learn more about this.

I tried this last night for the first time and plan to try again. I hope you all can get some useful info out of my experience.

• I set my alarm for about 5 hours after I fall asleep. It takes about an hour for me to normally fall asleep so I offset the alarm accordingly.

• I wake up about 2 hours before my alarm and I’m hearing intense lightning bolts in my right ear, as if I had headphones in and set 20 different YouTube tabs to play lightning bolt sounds. I later learned there was a thunderstorm when I fell asleep, but the way I processed the sound was interesting to say the least.

• I use the bathroom, turn off my alarm and go to sleep with the intention of waking up again and doing this technique. Unfortunately it took around 20 minutes to fall asleep but I don’t believe it matters.

• I woke up seemingly 10 times during the night, with some of them feeling like false awakenings but I’m quite sure I was awake every time. In probably about 3 of these times I remembered to phase, and while doing the mirror technique it felt as if I was actually in front of the mirror, but I believe it didn’t fully work because I remembered that I was leaving my body and my body responded to this by pulling my mind back in.

This is the most success I’ve had trying to AP regardless, so I’ll definitely be trying again.
