Blindfold Trick

[ThunderClap]

So I ordered one of these recently, and I've found it helps greatly with visualization. Basically it produces the same Ganzfeld Effect that putting ping-pong balls over your eyes does.

 

 

Heres what you need to do once you have acquired one of these masks or something of the sort:

 

1. First, make sure the eye cover allows no external stimuli into your eyes. That means you should be able to look around and see no light. Preferable conditions would be inside of an already dark room (I.e: Your bedroom at night time.)

 

2. Earplugs or earbuds are recommended as it will eliminate any distractions from noise.

 

3. Try to visualize your tulpa, or your wonderland. You will notice this gets easier gradually.

 

4. If you start seeing little "colors" or floaty things, try and morph those into an image of your tulpa or make out your tulpa's form inside of these things.

 

 

(You also may get the illusion that there is light coming through the mask. I have found this to be very common.)

 

5. After maybe about 20 minutes or so, hallucination will be much easier, and the images you see will be more detailed.

 

A good time for this exercise is any where from 20 minutes to 3 hours. Make sure you have patience though, because vivid visuals will not come until you are some time into the session.

 

Possible side effects I have noticed:

 

• Headaches (More so after 15 minutes)
  
• Nausea after Extended Periods
  
• Head pressure (to be expected)
  

 

The usual orange juice/cold showers remedy should clear these up. The headache after 20 minutes of the exercise lasted for 5-10 minutes, so longer headaches can be expected from longer sessions.

It's great to see that SOME positive purpose has been found for the tragedies of all who were tested. ^^ I'm definetly going to try this out.

Approved for tips and tricks as there isn't enough material for me to consider this a guide. I like it though.

I just bought some ear plugs and I already own a sleeping mask, but their one problem, I can hear my breathing even with ear plugs.

Your own breathing should be fine, just think of it as you breathing in your wonderland body

I tried that and Joanna, my pillow tulpa, still hasn't appeared as how I truly picture her, as a beautiful young woman. What am I doing wrong? Does it take time and practice?

Can you use something like a folded towel or something to cover your eyes instead? or does it HAVE to be the mask? .3.

 

I have a whole bunch of bandanas and stuff laying around and I was wondering if I could tie em round my eyes and do this.
