1. Manifest your target reality by repeating the words “I am.” Lie on your back, or get into a comfortable position, and relax or meditate for 5-10 minutes. Then, close your eyes and repeat the words “I am” over and over until you naturally start to change the statement into more than “I am.” Once you do, slowly count to 100. When you reach “100,” open your eyes.^[1]

   • For example, you might begin to think, “I am going to my desired reality.” That means it’s time to start counting.
   • There’s no need to visualize with this method, just let the “I am” statements do the work.

1. Listen to music to transport you to a new reality. Put on your favorite song, and imagine yourself dancing with someone from your DR. When the song ends, imagine them inviting you to the DR. Follow them off the dance floor and through a door while repeating shifting affirmations like, “I am walking through this door into my desired reality,” then open your eyes.

   • If you feel dizzy after dancing, that’s a sign you’re in the right headspace.

1. Visualize yourself sitting against a tree until you shift. Meditate until you’re in a relaxed state. Then, lie on your back and picture yourself sitting against a tree. Wait until you see someone from your DR run past the tree, then imagine yourself chasing after them and falling down a rabbit hole, where you’ll find a key. Use the key to open a door in your mind into your DR.^[3]
