progress report

[Rhea]

Thank you so, so much for your help. It's indeed a bit difficult for me to read for prolonged periods because of the focus issue, but I'll do my best, I really, really want to improve on this.

I'll try to put your advice into practice tomorrow. I'm honestly not expexting to do well right away, but I'll try not to worry about it too much and just do my best^-^

I just realized I hadn't responded yet, I thought I did, my apologies, I went through the thread and it was really interesting, although I didn't expect that meme to feel so relateable^^;

no problem! and yeah, it's good to not bring expectations into a sit and let whatever happen to happen. don't worry if it seems hard, only your successes count, not failures. you want to be kind to yourself

 

and i'm glad you feel i expressed it well! i wish you luck

I have spent almost every waking moment since my and Seraphina's first forcing session having he on my mind, doing short, 30-40 minutes active forcing sessions 2-3 times a day, and spending most of the rest of the time either narrating to her, asking her questions, or doing passive forcing, imagining her form, and her presence, either in our (still very small and blurry) mindscape or over the physical world.

 

It's been taking a lot of energy, and I found myself feeling far more tired than I usually do. But I treasure every moment^^

 

Today, our first forcing session was all about personality traits and explaining what they mean and how they could influence the way she interacts with the world. It was hard to focus, but I went at a slow pace making sure to direct my thoughts at her presence.

At the end of the session, I encouraged her and told her I was proud of her and out of nowhere, while I had never seen her form move in any way before, I was overcome with a strange feeling of either excitement or joy and saw a still image in my mind of her form hugging me... I was pretty surprised and froze up for a few seconds, and then tried to imagine myself reciprocating the hug.

 

This feels so incredibly strange, I can't tell for sure it was her, but... I strongly believe it was.

that all sounds very great! i'm glad for you both

So I asked her if she could send some head pressure my way, and just like magic a wave of it came by. We did this a few times and then I asked her if she could focus the pressure on the right or left side of the head, and she seemed to struggle a lot with putting it on the left, but when sending it to the right side it was incredibly clear which side of my head had more pressure!

 

It's only been a few days and it feels like signs like these shouldn't be happening this fast... but I can't stop myself from believing with all my heart that they were from her. I'm so incredibly proud of her!

that sounds exactly like me. my tulpa would create head pressures when i asked in the beginning, and could try to make them on left or right, but right side ones were much stronger and more obvious. it often took a lot of time for a left side one to form. your the first person with head pressures i've heard explain this same thing mine would do. they also started for me very early on. i don't remember the exact amount of time, but a few days or less

Oh! I almost forgot, I meditated for the first time today, just before our second forcing session, and it was really hard, but I'll keep working at it!

nice, good luck!

 

things sound pretty good for you guys. glad they are going well!

Even though I know that everyone's experience is a little different, hearing that you and your tulpa(s) had such a similar experience feels so validating, thank you for sharing^-^

...She gave me a bit of a scare though the other day. I was at work and took a little break from narrating, but still keeping her in mind, while listening to some music, and suddenly I felt this.. jolt in my brain. It felt incredibly weird. And right after, her presence and the head pressure that I had felt almost nonstop for a week just... suddenly vanished. My head had never felt that empty in my life and I panicked a bit. Is this normal? Have you all experienced this?

I had that a few times years ago, in my case they were related to my tulpa Verres introducing ideas to my mind. The jolt sensations had a very noticeable foreign quality to them, and are one of the things that make me consider a possible metaphysical aspect of my tulpas' existence.

sounds like you are having fun and making great progress, glad to hear it

 

some people start getting responses sooner than others. i feel people who naturally like to daydream or spend lots of time in their mind may have kind of an advantage maybe, i'm not sure

 

i've heard of other new people saying at times their tulpa seemingly disappeared for no reason temporarily, but they seem to always come back. i think i've felt similar things early on, but nothing that stands out to me. i'm unsure why it happens to some, but it's typically nothing to worry about

I've definitely always been a bit of a daydreamer. Coming up with stories and D&D characters and the likes.

It definitely didn't feel like anything I'm used to.. it was a tad scary but thankfully everything's alright now
