A card-based system for pausing, shifting perspective, and deciding calmly.
SHIFT Method is a quiet, card-based system designed to support moments of pause, perspective shift, and calm decision-making.Each card offers a short statement that can be used on its own, or as the starting point for a deeper internal practice. The method can be approached gently or with more depth, depending on what is needed in the moment.SHIFT Method is designed for self-guided use and can also be used alongside therapeutic or reflective work.
There are two ways to use the cards.Some moments call for simplicity — choosing one card and letting it settle. Other moments invite a deeper process, using a guided internal practice that moves through pause, perspective shift, and integration.There is no right way to use the cards. You can move between approaches freely.
