I'm very sorry if this has been asked somewhere, but I've looked and looked and can't seem to find anything.
I know I shouldn't worry so early on, but I guess I can't help it. I started making my tulpa yesterday, and I have no doubt she's in there just waiting for me to hear her. But for whatever reason, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
People talk about having felt things like tingles or head pressures on their first day of forcing, and I understand that time is different for everyone during tulpa creation. But the thing is, I'm feeling something, its just that they're not headaches or anything like that, and I'm not sure whether to assume it's from my tulpa. Its like this feeling in my chest, not unlike giddiness or adrenaline. The only way I can describe it is like a tightness, or like my chest and stomach is being filled with warm air, if that makes sense. It isn't painful, though. Is it really just my being excited, or is it my tulpa? If you can describe a few feelings you had, I would love to read them.
Also, one more question, but what did you all do when you first started forcing? I can't ever seem to force for very long (not because of lack of focus, but because I'll feel like I've done all I can for the session and then realize it was only twenty minutes long), and I feel like something just isn't right. I feel like I'm not making any special connection, or that I'm really making any progress. It just seems too easy almost, compared to how tasking of a job most people say it is.
Thanks so much.
