Shifting

[Glitch]

Meh, nearly a necro thread, but I thought I would add my experiences as well.


I feel crazy whenever this happens.  I know I am physically human.  No question that I find a visual shift impossible.  But still, the mind is a powerful thing.  So, I have two fursonas representing two parts of me.  One, Glitch, is my typical me.  Quixotic, imaginative, and usually let down all to often because of these traits.  I am usually her in my dreams.


But Axis, the one representing my rage, is the one that is most commonly shifted to.  Like many, when I get extremely angered, I begin to shake and tremble.  Past that point, I feel Axis' mane rising up on my spine, a phantom tail brisling, ears pressing downward, and sometimes the burn of scars on my extended canine muzzle.  Claws are a very common thing for me to feel.  Sounds like something that belongs in dreams and not real life.


I attribute all of the above to a very active imagination of mine.  I'm not batshit insane; none of us are, really.  We just have a better sense of who and what we can be in our minds.  Quite frankly, being human-bodied is.. tolerable.. but human-minded?  No, not for me.

I don't know if this belongs here or wether I already talked about it but I commonly feel that I have a tail... Even though it's not physicly there, I feel it as a metaphysical tail... It's there... But invisible. And you know, once, I closed my appartment door and my body wasn'T that close to the door but I felt like the the door closed on something so I yiped in fear only to discover later that it was that "tail" I closed the door on.


Pretty weird O.o

That's more common than you think and is considered part of therian shifting.

I hope you guys read this. transforming the soul is easy. you just focus on your inner self and feel the change. It wont be physical, but spiritual. Alot of people can do this. Now physically shifting... Not yet. Be patient. That time is coming for everyone

Last night I could almost feel myself changing into an alicorn. Like from MLP. Oof... I need sleep....

Shifting is not that hard really. Well... At least for me it's a piece of cake.
You just have to focus and go deep into your imagination.

[NekosandWerewolves]

I know, but I changed into a PONY. Creepy....

[Obey138 (Matthew "Fluffy")]

It happens recently a lot, especially when I'm on a walk with my dog (rottweiler).
I thought that wearing my collar might increase it, but I can't relate yet.
I haven't had any physical shifts yet, like previous users said: increased senses. Damn, I'd love to try that out.

[EveKieJezRen]

I feel I have wings sometimes

[Amna al-Dhi'b]

actually, i dont think ive ever felt human. its like ive been "shifted" since i was born. i also feel phantom ears/tail almost constantly.

I just found out about other people shifting today... It seems like a very cool experience, especially when I imagine someone who's fursona possesses wings    Occasionally, I feel like the wolf/dog (I am a hybrid of both) part of my being comes out more in certain situations. Sometimes, I feel the protectiveness of my alpha wolf side coming out, but I do think that has to do with my personality. I do feel a phantom-effect of my wolf snout, and claws. I do not actually see those, but I can feel them on occasion. Very cool experience though, it certainly brings you closer to your fursona/animal side of your being.

I can't shift at all. Face it guys, you're decieving yourselves. Just stop. Besides, your constant, "Look what I can do!" Makes others feel bad about themselves. Sorry for being a party-pooper, or whatever, but please. It's lowering self esteem.

[Cecilia Peromi]

I once looked into shifting and stuff. I have to say it's never happened to me but I want it to happen. I've looked up how to do it and then tried and tried but no dice. I've never felt it as strong as some of you guys say.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Is... Is there any way for me to become a therian?
