Sensory shifting is the most common type of shift, in fact, many Shifters never have any other kind of shift. In a Sensory shift, the Shifter will immerse him/h
energy, resulting in an Animal-like mood. The Shifter will feel somewhat animalish, alert, very aware, with an often-pleasurable heightened sense of their physical body. This is very like the mindset that people playing a sport and really mentally absorbed in playing get into. If you've ever gotten into a different mode of awareness/concentration/feeling when deep in a game and having lots of fun, you know pretty much what this is like. Hence the phrase, "I'm in the Zone!" The only big difference is the Shifter has a definite sense of the animal in their mood. The body temperature may go up a bit.

Reference from a car commercial. Basically meaning to get a new view on things and abandon old school thinking on a certain subject; to shift into a new mode of thought.

Fire Service term used to describe one of the three rotating shifts in a fire department work schedule A,B,C. It can apply to either a 24on/48off or a 48on/96off work schedule. B-Shift is universally recognized throughout the North American fire service as the worst shift on the department. It is typically made up of an all star cast of fuck-ups, fucktards,weirdos, and ass bags that have no business being in the fire service. Poor leadership is at the core of this band of derelicts and B-Shift typically has the highest number of 220's in the service. (220 meaning on the dept. 2 min but acting like they have been there 20 years.) B-Shift typically fucks up on a regular basis and cannot follow simple directions. The basis of many department SOP's and SOG's that come out are usually because of one of these incompetent ass clowns. The Benny Hill theme song should be played over the station alerting system in place of tones when these dip shits catch a run. B shifters are well known for constantly complaining and crying about useless bull shit especially with regard to fuel and def in the rig. They love to write in the station log book all the wonderful things they claim to have done during their shift when in reality they just half assed through it or it never happened.
C shifter 1: "Why is there piss all over the floor in front of the urinal and the kitchen floor feels like honey has been spilled all over it?"
C shifter 2: "Fucking B-shift, those dip shits again"
C shifter 2: "Fucking B-shift, those dip shits again"
