How To Become A Mermaid

Introduction to Shifting

You can become a mermaid through a process called 'shifting'. Shifting is when you change your mind and eventually body into that of a mermaid. There are four steps to becoming a mermaid, as well as different kinds of 'shifts'.

1. Research
You need to research mermaids and the place where you will live as a mermaid. This includes any plants and animals in that area. When you research, choose a form that appeals to you but you can survive with it. You should continue to research throughout the entire shifting process.

2. Fantasy Shift/F-shift
The f-shift is simply visualization and meditation. You draw a picture of yourself as a mermaid (this will be what you look like when you become a mermaid), and imagine yourself doing what mermaids do.

3. Mental Shift/M-shift

The m-shift is changing your mindset to fit that of a mermaid's. Act how a mermaid would act, wear clothes that a mermaid would wear, eat what mermaids eat, etc. Use meditation to imagine yourself as a mermaid. What does a mermaid think like? No one really knows, so it's up for you to decide.

4. Physical Shift/P-shift

This is when you physically become the mermaid you drew in your f-shift. This is the hardest shift, and it takes the longest amount of time. You can not P-shift before completing the other steps.

Other terms you should know:

Mental Flare/M-flare

This is when you let your mermaid side completely take over. They can happen on purpose or by accident, and you should try to m-flare once your mental shift is strong enough.

Phantom Shift/Ph-shift

This is when you feel your tail, but you don't actually have it. Many shifters use this throughout the m-shift to prepare for the physical shift, or accidentally phantom shift while trying to physical shift.

Ex: Pinch your arm lightly. Wait until you can't feel it anymore. Then, try to imagine what it felt like before.
