Lisk's Progess Report

Hey everyone.

 

I've finally decided to go though with creating a tulpa. I've been thinking about this for a few months, at least since before Christmas. I've read a few guides but I'm planning to read more soon. I'm not exactly sure what personality I want or what I want him to look like, but I'm hoping to get that worked out soon.

 

I'm mostly making this thread for two reasons: First, it's an easy place to ask for advice, but more importantly, if I get in the habit of posting here it will be much harder for me to give up partway though or get too lazy about it, since I'll know that other people are watching.

 

Anyway, my plan is to meditate or force for at least one hour every day. I know I have trouble focusing, so for today I just tried to do the meditation exercise where you try and visualize a dot for 5 minutes without interruption. I made some progress over the hour, but it was around as hard as I thought it was going to be for me. So for my first question: does anyone have any tips for improving your concentration? Are there other mediation exercises that will help with forcing that you recommend?

I usually just focus on my breathing when meditating (for concentration) instead of visualizing something, might work for you. For forcing I sit or lay down and focus on talking to my tulpa (sometimes in our wonderland), not sure if that counts as meditating since i'm telling my life story and all.

 

Also, if you are sleep deprived that could be whats interfering with your ability to concentrate (http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/excessive-sleepiness-10/10-results-sleep-loss).

 

Best of luck Lisk... I am also creating my first tulpa! Message me if you want to talk.

So I have been forgetting to update this thread.

 

Fortunately I haven't forgotten to force every day. After a couple of days of focus practice (I've found the technique where you count breaths and visualize the numbers to be most effective) I've started on my tulpa. I'm going to try to keep things simple so aside for the general idea of the form. I only have a 3-4 primary personality traits I've been thinking of when I force. I also don't want to give my tulpa a name just yet. I feel like he should have some input on that.

 

Has anyone tried not giving their tulpa a permanent name until they can talk? I don't think it will cause any harm, but I haven't heard of anyone doing this.
