Hello everyone! This is a guide on how to shift! Before we begin, I would everyone to know two things: 1. NOT ALL THERIANS SHIFT 2. This is all a part of a series, I will do phantom shifts, astral shifts, dream shifts etc....the links will be below the whole guide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mental shift is where a therians mindset becomes more animal-like, please note that you will not forget everything about your life, you will still think for yourself, and you will be able to control your actions. If you are not able to do that i a shift, you might have had a berserker/feral shift. These are dangerous shift. YES, dangerous. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some information/rules before we start: 1. Do not get angry if none of these work. You will need to find your own way to do it. Therianthropy is for EVERYONE different. 2. Why some therians/alterhumans want to shift: 1. Species euphoria. You might feel more connected to your animal-side, be more like your animal and feel more free. 2. It can help you to find out your theriotype! When you shift, you can look after the shift, how you felt, who you were, what your behaviors were etc..... 3. You can get more sure about being a therian, but remember non-therians might shift too <3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to trigger it (mental shift) 1. Meditate. Meditating is a common tip on shifting. Now, there often just stays "meditate" without even an explanation, how to do it, why do to it etc..... mediating will not always help you though! It hasn't helped me, but that's maybe because I never was the kind of one to sit still and breathe out and in. If you decide to try out meditating, you should breathe in and breathe out. Visualize your territory. If you are unsure about what your territory is, try to find the one that feels more right. Now, visualize yourself as your theriotype. You hunt, you run, you play etc..... if you are unsure about your theriotype, that's okay! Take your time and remember to breathe stealthy and focused! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find your own trigger! Finding what leads YOU into a shift, is a handy way of causing mental shifts! For example, hunting plushies, wildness and feathers make me really shifty! It's good to try out things, here are some examples: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quadrobics! Of course, not everyone is able to do quadrobics, and you cannot *become* a therian when doing quads. Therianthropy is NOT a choice. Not every therian does quadrobics! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toys! Depending on your theriotype, some may like hunting toys, some may like chewing toys, some both! I will for sure make a tutorial to make toys, so if you want to get pinged for that, just say and I'll add you to the ping list! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nature music! There are plenty of nature sounds on spotify, and some on scratch too! And pixabay ofc! You can play the sound you should hear on your territory! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gear! Just, drag a tail on, a mask or ears! (this is the same as quadrobics, absolutely not every therian has gear, and you can of course, not become a therian of wearing gear) gear can prevent species dysphoria too. Wearing a tail makes me shift easier, but wearing a mask makes it difficult for me, my mask are or too loose, or to tight... and so much more!!! Just find out your own trigger! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other alterhumans! Socializing and being with other therians or alterhumans makes me very very shifty! I highly recommend this! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have other tips and tricks, please comment below! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ping list:
