Physical shifting is a form of shifting (feeling like you are becoming more like your kintype in some way) that involves physically becoming your kintype.
Physical shifting is impossible- it literally cannot be achieved, not with the technology currently available to us.
However, many believe in it, especially those who may be younger and/or more vulnerable.
In perhaps its most harmless form of being proposed to a person, it appears as spells and rituals, many of which may be found in things like online spellbooks.
