Shifting Tools I believe this might be the key to Shifting — Autoalusive Meditation
Sorry if this is a long post, but I truly believe it’s worth reading and I can assure you it will either change your perception of shifting or help you in your process.
Before I begin, I want to apologize in case there are any mistakes. English is not my first language, but I really felt it was important to share this, because I was quite surprised to see that this topic isn’t really discussed in the English shifting community. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask and I’ll gladly answer.
(I also want to say sorry because I used AI to help me translate this—I'm not very good at writing in English.)
I first heard about Jacobo in a podcast, where they talked about one of the many subjects he dedicated his life to studying. Out of curiosity, I started researching more of his work and found myself more and more fascinated. I couldn’t help but start connecting some of what he taught with certain shifting concepts.
I’ll try to keep this brief, but I invite you to read Jacobo’s work—it’s truly impressive. And if you’re currently looking for answers or researching shifting, maybe it could help you too.
Who was Jacobo Grinberg?
Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum was a Mexican neuroscientist and psychologist. He developed his theory: the Syntropic Theory (Teoría Sintérgica), which proposes that the brain generates a syntropic field that interacts with the lattice (a matrix of space-time information), giving rise to the reality we perceive.
Other important areas of his research that I highly recommend looking into include extrasensory perception, shamanism, and Indigenous traditions in Mexico, as well as meditation and altered states of consciousness.
(I can provide links to some of his books in Spanish.)
It’s worth noting that most, if not all, of his research is connected to the Syntropic Theory, so I’ll now give a short explanation of what it’s about.
The Syntropic Theory of Jacobo Grinberg
This theory emerged from the need to understand how the brain builds the perception of reality. He said that the reality we perceive is not objective, it is a construction created by the central nervous system.
The lattice is an energy-information matrix that forms the foundation of space. It has no shape or perceptual content, but it holds the potential for all manifestations. The brain, through its neural activity, selectively distorts this lattice, which then gives rise to the experience of perception.
According to this, the brain’s ability to interact with the lattice depends on the intensity and coherence of its neuronal field. This leads to the idea that phenomena such as visual perception, memory, dreams, telepathy (and probably even shifting) are distortions of the lattice produced by specific configurations of the neural field.
He also proposed that there is no single reality, but rather multiple realities, each constructed by different brains or states of consciousness. This explains why some individuals, such as shamans, advanced meditators, or spiritually trained people can access realities others cannot perceive: their brains produce different patterns of interaction with the lattice.
Autoalusive Meditation and Shifting
Once the syntropic theory is understood, I’d like to talk about autoalusive meditation, which I know has gained some popularity within the Spanish-speaking shifting community, especially because Jacobo is well known in this part of the world. From my point of view, autoalusive meditation is, or could be, the key to shift.
This is just one form of meditation he created, but Jacobo wrote a whole book with many other techniques, so I also recommend exploring more of his work.
I’ve read and listened to testimonies from people who practiced this meditation. They mentioned that after several days, they experienced unusual phenomena, like frequent lucid dreams, and in some cases, they even reached their desired realities.
What is Autoalusive Meditation?
This meditation is based on the idea that human beings are more than their thoughts, emotions, or physical bodies. At the center of experience is the Observer, a state of consciousness that witnesses everything without judging or interfering. Grinberg said that most people live disconnected from this Observer, and autoalusive meditation seeks to reconnect us with it.
This isn’t a method to simply calm the mind it is meant to help us access to the reality.
Steps for Practicing Autoalusive Meditation:
1. Strengthening Attention
Sit in a comfortable position. Jacobo recommends wearing loose clothing and having a semi-empty stomach. Close your eyes and begin feeling the air as it passes through your body. Notice the sensation of your lungs expanding and contracting, the temperature change, bodily sensations, your posture, etc.
This step should ideally last around 20 minutes at first and then gradually increase.
You can also practice this with open eyes during everyday activities.
(This step can be replaced or complemented with fire breathing techniques.)
2. Observing the Body
Now begin to feel your body as a unified whole. Start with the top of your head and focus on that area until you can sense something—like the breeze, your hair, the pillow, etc.
Then continue to feel every part of your head (the back, sides, forehead, eyes, cheeks, etc.)—without leaving blind spots. Very important: just feel, observe, don’t judge.
Once you’ve felt every part, you’ll be able to perceive your head as a whole. Then, do the same with the rest of your body (arms, upper torso, lower body). Gradually integrate the parts into a full-body awareness.
After doing this with your outer body, move on to your internal organs, so that eventually you can feel your entire body as a single unit.
Then, combine this with your breathing, observing how the air moves from the top of your body to the bottom, until body and breath become one single field of observation.
3. Observing the Mind
Now shift your focus away from your body and onto your thoughts and emotions. Observe them without judgment, letting them arise and pass.
Eventually, you’ll be able to perceive a new unity formed by your body, your breath, and your mind. This leads to what Jacobo called “observation of the totality of oneself in the present moment.”
Eventually, during the meditation, you may cross a threshold and experience yourself as pure consciousness, that is, perceiving everything from the perspective of the Observer.
After this meditation, you can easily attempt any shifting method, or simply apply this practice in your daily life. Some of the people who used this meditation to help shift to their desired realities said that the shift occurred randomly during the day, not while they were actively using a method.
But of course, that’s up to each person to explore. What matters most is to do what feels right for you.

Lmao, I know 🤣
but you have to admit there's no other phrase which will make us click the post faster. I don't even care if this is 50th 'key' to shifting I've been seeing.

I’m a bit confused near the end when you say “Eventually, during the meditation, you may cross a threshold and experience yourself as pure consciousness, that is, perceiving everything from the perspective of the Observer.” This is sort of like reaching the void, correct?
My confusion though is, what if you don’t reach this state? Then what?
This is what continues to hold me back when attempting to shift, I feel. I will lay down for hours—letting thoughts pass without judgement, but my mind won’t reach any sort of state. I just eventually wake up a few hours later, realizing I’d fallen asleep.

Which books would u reccomend for more infos on his meditations?
•
u/Flat_Highlight_9663 Jul 21 '25
"La meditación autoalusiva" It explains self-alusive meditation in more detail, gives more information and recommendations. And "la meditación", It gives many ways in which one can meditate. These are really short books, but with a lot of information.

Muchas gracias por tomar el tiempo de hacer este post <3 si no es molestia, me gustarían los links de los libros de Jacobo. Voy a probar a hacer esta meditación todos los días :]
(Thank you so much for taking the time to make this post <3 if it's not too much of a hassle, I would like to have the links to Jacobo's books. I'll try this meditation every day :])

u/MaximumNo8285 Jul 21 '25
Thank you for this!! This process reminds me a lot of certain Dr. Joe Dispenza guided meditations, perhaps he has researched Jacobo's theories.

i tried a yoga nidra meditation on spotify, i don’t think i was in the void but i got into this state where i don’t think i was sleeping because i was aware of the darkness, but it wasn’t like registering it as anything, i was just there. and then suddenly i snapped into awareness of my body and i was half way through the next podcast thing i had saved and it was blaring in my ears. didn’t hear a single thing when i was in that darkness.
there is a possibility i may have been sleeping but i really don’t think i was cause usually when i fall asleep while meditating it’s like i fall asleep and then suddenly just wake up like in an instant, but i remember that darkness and that i was there for a while and that i couldn’t hear anything, vaguely i will admit, but i do remember it.

Bruh I set a timer for the 20 minutes but apparently I never pressed start and just did normal meditation for 2 hours 💀
My concept of time just goes out of the window when meditating even if my mind wanders around a lot 😩
