Pacing while forcing?

[Octavia]

Good afternoon! just had a simple question.

It may seem stupid, but I've seen nothing on the subject.

 

Everyone seems to simply sit in a comfortable position while

tulpaforcing, but for me personally, I find that I can't think straight

and can get easily distracted while sitting and doing nothing other than forcing. To counter this, I often find myself getting up and pacing around the room aimlessly while working on personality and whatnot. (I direct my speech to the Tulpa and attempt to visualize, mind you)

 

It's day 21 and I haven't had a sign of sentience at all, which I expected. I assume it's not, but just to be sure, is there any harm in pacing or similar things while forcing? just making sure, as I wanna make sure I'm not wasting my time or screwing up royally or anything like that.

 

Help or tips would be greatly appreciated..!

 

Danke, everyone.

Try to use some of Fede's tones. It helped me force a lot. Or if you can't force while siting, try to take a walk somewhere outside, tell your tulpa who he/she is, talk about random shit ( anything that came on your mind is just good ). What i am doing is that i sit down, starts listening to one of Fede's tone, about, idk 20 -25 minutes i'm telling Jack who he is, and next i'm trying to visualize him. Talking helped me a lot to feel sentience from him. First week, it was really hard for me to feel him, but than i realyzed how he's trying to comunicate with me. I think the best way to make him more sentient is to narate and believe that he/she is alredy sentiente. I find This guide really helpfull.

QB and I often ran around to force. Perfectly acceptable.

What you're doing while forcing doesn't matter as long as it's not distracting. You can't really play tennis and force because you can't focus on either (trust me, I've tried) but pacing or moving about is perfectly fine. If it helps you concentrate then it's beneficial, be it orange juice, cold showers, whatever.

No sentience 3 weeks in is fairly normal, so I wouldn't necessarily think that you're doing anything wrong.

Damn it, what is this orange juice joke? I've been here more than two months and I still don't get it.

[waffles]

It was long recommended that orange juice improved concentration. Likewise cold showers. When the two merged; orange showers.

[Sands]

Orange juice helps with headaches you get from concentrating while forcing. Beep boop off-topic hello.

Here I was thinking it was a "concentrate" pun.
