Shifting Affirmations Novels & Stories

The voice of Jasmin echoed in my mind, her words resonating with clarity and purpose. "Eliza, trust in yourself. The power to shift lies within you, waiting to be awakened," Jasmin's voice whispered, her tone filled with encouragement and support. I closed my eyes, allowing her words to sink deep into my consciousness, letting go of the doubts and fears that had clouded my mind.

They sat by the fire, extending their legs in front of them. “I think you should shift,” Keyah said. Aaron stared at her disbelievingly. “I can’t leave you alone!” “That’s chivalrous and all, but you gotta think logically. If you shift now, go for a short run, work off some of the rush, you’ll be good for the rest of the night. But if you resist it and it gets too much to take later on, you’ll have no choice but to shift. The later you do it, the more dangerous it will be. This is a shifter town, which means every single person will be turning into their animal forms once the moon is at the zenith. You have seen how they were as humans–guarded, untrusting. I can only imagine how they will be

Today he showed me no mercy in his attack, jabs, punches, and kicks all came flying at me like an unhinged shopper during Black Friday sales who really wanted that flat-screen TV and would take out anyone who got in their way. Maximo barely spoke to me; the flames from his nostrils said it all. His body must have been taken over by a training demon. He set the rules at the beginning of training, and I had to obey them. Usually, the rule is no shifting, until your opponent shifts first. He wants me to depend on my own body strength and abilities so I don’t become dependent on my other animal forms. However, today, I had to shift back and forth between forms as he calls them out WHILE he’s try

We follow the side of the road, and she talks. "When I found out we're always wrapped-up in trouble, defending and fighting and attracting bad energy, I knew I had to separate myself from my old life," she explains. "I know I can be pushy and demanding when it comes to this, but it's only because I know how dangerous it can be. My mom says shifting is a gift, but, most of the time, it feels like a curse. Telling you to be careful in the forest, ending our friendship, warning you now — all of it is because I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want you to see what I've seen."

Kade led me back into the trees, away from the cabin, farther than we’d ever gone without backup. “Your body is already changing,” he said as we walked. “But shifting isn’t about muscles or instinct. It’s about surrender.” I raised an eyebrow. “You want me to just… let go?” He stopped by a fallen log and nodded. “Not all the way. Just enough for her to speak.”

She gazed at her reflection for a few silent moments, totally pleased with what she was seeing. Then, just like James had taught her to do in the earlier days of her business, she decided to engage in her ritual of personal and positive re-affirmations. "I'm big." She declared calmly. "I'm successful; I excel." These were the words James had nicknamed the three magic words for a great and successful life. "You must never let a day pass without saying these to yourself." He would always give advice. And indeed, since she began to do that many years ago, like magic, the words have transformed her life.

A new Warrior will not intentionally harm someone they love, but accidents involving unaccustomed strength, claws, and teeth happen. The most important thing is to limit mood fluctuations and stress. Tonight, just forty-eight hours after her first shift, I'm taking Marinah into a situation that ticks all the wrong boxes. Axel thinks it's a mistake and I'm not far behind him. Physically, Marinah is doing great. It's her mental strength I'm worried about. She has little warning when she shifts, but I'm pleasantly surprised at her ability to push back the K-5 when it attacks. She's amazing and we only need her to hold it together for an hour at the funeral.

She smiled and began saying her affirmations. "You are brave. "You are a strong and capable young woman. "You radiate beauty from the inside out. "You have a bright future ahead of you. "You are intelligent and wise beyond your years." "You are loved and cherished by those around you." "You have a unique and special purpose in this world." "You are confident and self-assured in all that you do." "You have a kind and compassionate heart." "You are deserving of all the love and happiness in the world." "You are a true inspiration to every single person around you."

Still, I wanted to make the effort. “Hello ladies!” They all nodded their heads, acknowledging me. I walked over to the oldest woman weaving a blanket and put my hand on her shoulder, and tried to give my warmest smile. “Can you show me how to do that?” I asked. Again, I was given a small nod. I watched her fingers work as if they were making magic. “Wow, I don’t think I can do that! You’re amazing!” Next thing I know, all of the women were laughing. I let out a small smile, trying to hide my embarrassment. “What’s so funny?” I asked. “Nothing child, we’ve been doing this since we were pups. So we’ve had over two centuries to practice.” The old lady smiled. “Oh don’t be so hard on yourself!

"You're telling me there's a way to keep my outfit?" "Listen close," he said, his voice turning into a teacher’s tone. "The trick is the 'Slip-Shift.' You have to visualize your wolf and your human form as two layers of the same skin. Instead of letting the wolf rip through, you pull your human essence inward, like you're stepping back into a closet. You release the energy in a slow wave, starting from your heart and moving to your limbs.
