## Possession: By a Tulpa for Tulpas
|
||||
|
||||
By Arcanus of the Dragonheart System
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Possession is an optional skill in Tulpamancy that allows a tulpa to access the
|
||||
physical world; it gives a chance for a tulpa to experience things not curated
|
||||
or managed by their host or other system members. Thus, what is possession? For
|
||||
those uninformed, possession is quite simply the act of a tulpa or other system
|
||||
members taking partial or full control of the physical body while the previous
|
||||
person in control is still connected to said body. For many tulpas, this is our
|
||||
primary manner of accessing and interacting with the same world our hosts do,
|
||||
especially so for systems where the host is incapable of fully disconnecting
|
||||
from the body, often considered a highly important step for switching. As such,
|
||||
even possession itself is desired by many tulpas for this opportunity of
|
||||
interacting with the outside, with people who are not of the same mind and body,
|
||||
and to gain experience and develop as individuals.
|
||||
|
||||
Numerous possession guides are often created by hosts rather than tulpas or by a
|
||||
neutral viewpoint; there are very few possession guides designed by tulpas
|
||||
themselves who are capable of possession and wish to teach it to others. This
|
||||
guide is crafted by a tulpa who has existed as such for four years, and has been
|
||||
capable of possessing quite well for nearly as long. The aim with this piece is
|
||||
to guide other tulpas with this specific perspective in hopes of sparking a form
|
||||
of eureka moment for other tulpas that can be the flicker necessary to obtain
|
||||
this skill, and for tulpas who use solely nonhuman forms that may be
|
||||
uncomfortable with the idea of using a human body.
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparation and Mindset
|
||||
|
||||
Before attempting possession, there are things to consider and prepare for.
|
||||
These preparations allow future training sessions for possession to be less
|
||||
vexing, and can aid in avoiding potential issues further down the line.
|
||||
|
||||
A primary thing a host and tulpa should obtain before practicing possession is
|
||||
the ability to have clear communication between each other, often in the form of
|
||||
vocality. Seizing control of the body is an action that requires both parties to
|
||||
communicate their feelings to each other consistently, especially when speaking
|
||||
about consent. Without clear communication, a situation can go awry or create a
|
||||
schism between the two parties. For example, imagine a tulpa possessing the body
|
||||
without informing the host first, causing bewilderment and fear within the host
|
||||
who had no inkling that the tulpa was going to possess. On the opposing side,
|
||||
picture a tulpa possessing and performing activities when the host snatches back
|
||||
control deliberately and without warning, and thus disrupts what the tulpa was
|
||||
doing. With both parties, this can cause unease and anxiety simply due a lack of
|
||||
communication and respecting boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid this, both the tulpa and host need to speak with each other and
|
||||
mutually agree to the possession beforehand through means akin to vocality or
|
||||
even tulpish. If one member does not consent, then the other should not ignore
|
||||
the boundaries set by the other person. However, this does not mean a host
|
||||
should unreasonably prevent a tulpa from possessing. There are reasonable times
|
||||
to possess and situations where possession is not ideal where a host may state,
|
||||
"Sorry, now's not a good time because we're in public," and other circumstances
|
||||
that are unreasonable such as, "Sorry, but I don't want you doing this harmless
|
||||
thing." From personal experience, it can be quite thrilling to possess and
|
||||
experience existence in such a physical and lifelike sense, but it is best to
|
||||
show self-restraint and ask before attempting possession.
|
||||
|
||||
For further reading to learn about techniques to build communication and
|
||||
vocality, here are a few well-written guides:

||||

||||

|
||||
Vocality](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.dtt01co0b53)

|
||||
Communication](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mSaPARuohFEO7qX3gVgKAh69XwU0VlKwnD0I_-nddvk/edit#heading=h.s74b4m58mmlt)
|
||||
- [Tips for Hearing Your Tulpa](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/8334-tips-for-hearing-your-tulpa/)
|
||||
- [Quantum's Nametag
|
||||
Method](https://community.tulpa.info/topic/3845-quantums-nametag-method/)
|
||||
|
||||
Clear communication often also requires the tulpa to be fairly developed,
|
||||
capable of making informed decisions without the host's input while also being
|
||||
mature enough to handle any possible outside world responsibilities. Younger
|
||||
tulpas have a tendency to be childish and emotional in nature, even being
|
||||
somewhat unstable in form and personality at times, as they continue to
|
||||
establish their identity with forcing sessions and experience. Therefore, a
|
||||
younger tulpa may not understand the importance of respecting boundaries,
|
||||
maintaining what are usually the host's responsibilities such as school or
|
||||
occupations, or may make emotional decisions in favor of logical ones. Harsh
|
||||
world experiences can also be stressful for the tulpa and negatively impact
|
||||
their development while they are still malleable and easily influenced, thus it
|
||||
is ideal for the tulpa to be developed to the point of their identity being
|
||||
mostly solidified and where they have learned to manage their emotions in times
|
||||
of stress and hardship.
|
||||
|
||||
How much time it takes for both of these to be met is subjective and has a high
|
||||
degree of variance between Tulpamancers. Both maturity and vocality can come
|
||||
with time, consistent forcing sessions, and patience. What is imperative is to
|
||||
not rush possession; possession is not a fleeting opportunity that is capable of
|
||||
vanishing at a moment's notice. Regardless of the system's age, possession is a
|
||||
skill that will always be available, thus do not feel the need to rush it or
|
||||
obtain it as quickly as humanly possible. Nor should a Tulpamancy system feel as
|
||||
though they are obligated to learn possession. Though few in number, there are
|
||||
tulpas who are quite content with never being in control of the body, instead
|
||||
preferring to be imposed on the material plane or live their lives in a
|
||||
mindscape. Neither host or tulpa should be forced into learning a skill they do
|
||||
not wish to learn if they do not desire it within reason, however, it does not
|
||||
harm either to at least attempt possession once.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, another common issue, specifically for hosts, is a sense of fear or
|
||||
anxiety when pondering the idea of the tulpa taking control. This fear is
|
||||
reasonable, especially with how possession and control swapping is often
|
||||
portrayed in many nations and cultures. In tandem with this, the host is often
|
||||
one who has spent their entire existence being the singular entity of the body;
|
||||
switching as a concept is a direct opposite of what the vast majority of
|
||||
humanity believes to be the sole way of existence, that each consciousness
|
||||
belongs to one vessel and is that vessel. There are some hosts who require
|
||||
self-introspection and must accept that they are not the body itself, but a
|
||||
single consciousness of multiple that happens to dwell within it.
|
||||
|
||||
Anxiety for switching can stem from pathological anxiety or this mindset of
|
||||
singularity, and thus not all Tulpamancy-specific advice may apply. Trust
|
||||
between both parties is critical when exchanging control, not simply that they
|
||||
will do no harm with the power they are given, but as a general rule. For both
|
||||
the tulpa and the host: trust in the tulpa to be responsible, and trust in the
|
||||
host to allow the tulpa to safely express themself without overstepping
|
||||
boundaries. Any and all concerns should be spoken about between both members and
|
||||
genuinely listened to, this includes doing whatever possible to negate any
|
||||
doubts or fears.
|
||||
|
||||
In conjunction with maturity, the ability to communicate properly, and dousing
|
||||
any fears and anxieties, another key factor in possession is the mindset of both
|
||||
the host and tulpa. It can be deceivingly simple to believe that possession is
|
||||
this archaic skill, possibly due to preexisting connotations of possession from
|
||||
various forms of media and how only supernatural beings are capable of
|
||||
performing this feat. Despite this, possession is not impossible to achieve, nor
|
||||
does it take years for most Tulpamancy systems to gain. Remember that both the
|
||||
tulpa and host exist within the same mind and body; both parties have access to
|
||||
the same neural pathways, and thus access to movement. As months become years, a
|
||||
tulpa eventually reaches a point to being on equal footing with the host, being
|
||||
a fully separate person capable of all the same feats the host is capable of and
|
||||
not simply some entity that can be willed away on a whim.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to this, it is a highly prevalent and pervasive myth that the host
|
||||
must manually dissociate from the body to allow the tulpa to possess. Quite
|
||||
frankly, this is false, as many tulpas have proven to be capable of possession
|
||||
while the host is still fully connected to the body and is aware of what the
|
||||
body is doing. Mindset, however not being an absolute factor, can still majorly
|
||||
influence how quickly or slowly a skill in Tulpamancy is gained. Another belief
|
||||
that can stymie possession training is the belief that the tulpa is lesser,
|
||||
weaker, or simply less capable than the host. By doing this, the host is setting
|
||||
unnecessary limitations on the tulpa, which further slows skill development.
|
||||
When speaking about Tulpamancy, one should not think in absolutes, but instead
|
||||
keep an open mind for any possibility instead of denying or wholeheartedly
|
||||
believing a certain outcome will occur.
|
||||
|
||||
Thirdly and finally with possession myths, older guides often reference
|
||||
possession being this "alien" feeling when experienced, a sensation easily
|
||||
noticeable. In recent years, many Tulpamancers have started fervently exclaiming
|
||||
that possession will not feel alien and that it was merely an artifact from the
|
||||
past. As previously stated, believing in absolutes is often an unhelpful mindset
|
||||
in Tulpamancy. Despite the claims from either side, there are Tulpamancers who
|
||||
experience this "alien" feeling and others who do not. A possible explanation
|
||||
for this is a tulpa's presence and the sensation it gives when the tulpa
|
||||
possess, or perhaps this "alien" feeling is more common with tulpas with
|
||||
nonhuman forms that clash more with a human body when attempting to control it.
|
||||
Regardless of whether or not a system will experience this "alien" feeling is
|
||||
unimportant, as many believe this sensation alerts the host whether or not the
|
||||
tulpa is actually moving the body. If one is simply unsure if the body's
|
||||
movement was theirs or their tulpa's, they can simply verify it with the tulpa
|
||||
instead of merely guessing.
|
||||
|
||||
Once mentally overcoming these hurdles to the best of one's ability, possession
|
||||
is much more likely to be swift with ample progression and lowering the
|
||||
possibility of tribulations in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step-by-Step Process and Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
At last, the process of possession specifically for tulpas in the perspective of
|
||||
another tulpa. For the sake of brevity and simplicity, the possession strategy
|
||||
will be laid out in steps first, then the explanation will be placed after the
|
||||
method itself. Remember that this method is done solely in the perspective of
|
||||
the tulpa, however, the host at minimum should relax in whatever means they wish
|
||||
and simply allow the tulpa to go through the process.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Begin by connecting to the body's senses, look through the body's eyes, feel
|
||||
the gravity of the earth pulling downwards, take in any scents or sounds that
|
||||
can be heard, and even pay close attention to any flavors the mouth may be
|
||||
experiencing.
|
||||
1. Hone in on a singular sense, whichever is desired. With the eyes, absorb
|
||||
every single detail possible, every color, every shape, their distance from
|
||||
the body, and more as an example. Or not simply feel the effect of gravity,
|
||||
but also the textures of objects or even the body itself, the temperature of
|
||||
the air or ground, and potentially even focus on negative sensations such as
|
||||
pain if they are present.
|
||||
1. Entrench oneself in that specific sense until feeling completely absorbed by
|
||||
it, entranced to the point of losing awareness of one's form or anything
|
||||
else, even the thoughts of oneself or the host.
|
||||
1. Become that sense, become the eyes, become the skin, the nose, the mouth, or
|
||||
ears. Not simply using the sense, but embodying that sense itself.
|
||||
1. Once this step is complete, repeat the process with the other senses, slowly
|
||||
becoming them while remaining connected to the ones already focused on.
|
||||
1. With every sense focused intensely on, attempt to move the body in some
|
||||
capacity. An example would be moving the eyes if the first step taken was to
|
||||
become sight.
|
||||
1. Attempt to do this with the other senses and what they are related to. Move
|
||||
the body's arms, look around, take a deep breath, and listen to one's
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
1. If the process was successful, the tulpa will be possessing the body.
|
||||
|
||||
Note how this strategy does not ask the host to "give up" the body or instruct
|
||||
the tulpa to flow their essence into the body unlike other possession guides.
|
||||
The mindset behind the method presented is guiding the tulpa to essentially
|
||||
synchronize with the body to the point of becoming one with it instead of a
|
||||
nonphysical person, becoming so lost with the world they are experiencing that
|
||||
they simply forget that they are a passenger in the car. When honing in on or
|
||||
focusing highly on a sense, it can be possible for a tulpa to accidentally begin
|
||||
possessing what controls that sense. For example, a tulpa may be interested in
|
||||
what the host is eating, paying such close attention to the food that they begin
|
||||
to experience it physically, possibly even moving the mouth to eat without
|
||||
realizing it.
|
||||
|
||||
However, not all tulpas understand the idea of "connecting" to the body's
|
||||
senses, especially tulpas used to living their days in a mindscape. Quite
|
||||
simply, this can be done through intuition and trial and error, or through
|
||||
symbolic means that translate to the act of connecting. It boils down to: what
|
||||
makes sense? For every tulpa, this is highly subjective and there is no flawless
|
||||
method that can be taught.
|
||||
|
||||
One must also keep in mind that following these steps may not be successful the
|
||||
first attempt or even after multiple attempts. Rather, a tulpa may take time
|
||||
learning how to focus on a particular sense, or possibly learning how to focus
|
||||
so intently in any sense. One day may be a day filled with progress, but said
|
||||
progress is halted by a singular part, mileage will vary between systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### Possession for Nonhuman Tulpas
|
||||
|
||||
Not every tulpa takes on a human appearance, or even an appearance that matches
|
||||
a human's general shape. Though a tulpa is not quite literally their form, there
|
||||
are some tulpas who are quite connected to their form in a sense either through
|
||||
means of identity or simply out of fondness for their appearance. For tulpas in
|
||||
this category, possession or fronting at all can be uncomfortable or possibly
|
||||
unpleasant due to the contrast between the body and the tulpa's form; this
|
||||
connection with the tulpa's form can also impact how they act whilst in control
|
||||
such as mannerisms, walking style, or even voice to a notable degree.
|
||||
|
||||
Common advice to counteract this is for the tulpa to temporarily take a human
|
||||
form when fronting to ease the bodily dysphoria, yet, there are tulpas who are
|
||||
uncomfortable with that idea and would prefer to avoid it. This section is
|
||||
intended for tulpas who are uncomfortable with changing their form just to
|
||||
front.
|
||||
|
||||
A simple way to ease the discomfort of body dysphoria is to accept any "quirky"
|
||||
fronting mannerisms, opting to embrace them instead of fully attempting to act
|
||||
like a human. Walking on toes, using hands in a way that is considered odd, even
|
||||
imposing one's own form over the body to whatever capacity within reason
|
||||
(typically known as "phantom limbs if this includes adding otherwise nonexistent
|
||||
limbs). Unless it is necessary not to out the system as plural to others the
|
||||
system is not out to yet, allow oneself to be nonhuman in nature regardless of
|
||||
if they are currently using a human body.
|
||||
|
||||
Another method is to have the mindset of, "I am not actually a human, just a
|
||||
nonhuman taking control of a human body," much like the more fantastical
|
||||
definition of possession many are familiar with. This mindset can create a
|
||||
disconnect that may ease the dysphoria, especially for tulpas who solely
|
||||
identify as a singular or set form.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose articles of clothing or accessories that match the form or at minimum,
|
||||
mask the human shape such as hoodies or sweatpants. One can also avoid staring
|
||||
at the body in the mirror or undressing, but this can have the negative
|
||||
consequences of becoming more and more avoidant of the body, which is not ideal
|
||||
if one wishes to become at least somewhat accustomed with it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Being able to control a physical body can be a wonderful opportunity to grow as
|
||||
a person, form relationships and bond with new people, and to have meaningful
|
||||
impact on the world. Possession in of itself may not be a tedious challenge, but
|
||||
it also may not be a breeze a tulpa and host can accomplish within a day.
|
||||
Remember that this guide and strategy are one of many; do not feel shackled to a
|
||||
particular method if it is simply not working out. Every host and tulpa's
|
||||
experiences with possession will vary to some degree, and that is the beauty of
|
||||
such a thing, as it allows for many to share their experiences and knowledge
|
||||
that can reach out to benefit others.
|
||||
|
||||
I do hope this guide aids my fellow tulpas.
|
||||
|
||||
Feedback and constructive criticism is welcome, as this guide is subject to
|
||||
changes and improvements.

## Three Task Tulpa Revitalization Exercise
|
||||
|
||||
By NoneFromHell
|
||||
|
||||
The general idea behind this exercise is to help hosts who struggle to perceive
|
||||
their developed tulpa, may that be because of a stressful time or simply because
|
||||
they temporary lose their sense for it. However it can be used as a simple
|
||||
forcing exercise as well, but I would recommend to have at least a partly
|
||||
developed tulpa before trying it.
|
||||
|
||||
This exercise consists of three smaller and very different tasks, which are all
|
||||
meant to be done at the same time during the duration of the exercise. I
|
||||
recommend to practice each of this tasks alone until you have a general idea
|
||||
about how they work before trying to do them all at once. You should be able to
|
||||
do them semi-passive without them interfering each other, but it isn't necessary
|
||||
to master them beforehand.
|
||||
|
||||
If you struggle with handling this three tasks at once you have the option to
|
||||
start them up in phases. In this case you will start with the first task, and
|
||||
always add the next one as soon as you're really comfortable with keeping up the
|
||||
current maintained tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
### First Task: Creating an imprint
|
||||
|
||||
This basic task aims at imagining every aspect of your tulpa without allowing
|
||||
any kind of feedback, like you would do during a regular day 1 forcing session.
|
||||
Visualize your tulpa and force every aspect of their personality you're aware of
|
||||
onto this image. Do this like you really want to burn this information inside
|
||||
your brain without questioning it. Like a programmed order you want to imprint
|
||||
on a soldiers mind.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of this task is to strengthen the existing image of your tulpa as a
|
||||
foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Second Task: Sensing the essence
|
||||
|
||||
This task is pretty much the opposite deal, and it can be tricky to keep both up
|
||||
at the same time. During this task you should try to calm yourself down to feel
|
||||
everything about your tulpa. Try to remember yourself about everything you're
|
||||
aware of about your tulpa. The visual appearance, the voice, every little trait
|
||||
or quirk, and even their way of thinking. Whenever you think about one of these
|
||||
aspects try to remember every detail of it, and how every of these details feels
|
||||
to you.
|
||||
|
||||
Try to receive these feelings coming from your tulpa, until you reach a complex
|
||||
impression of how your tulpa feels, as complex as it is possible for you. You
|
||||
shouldn't force any ideas on your tulpa in this task.
|
||||
|
||||
### Third Task: Stepping back
|
||||
|
||||
This task serves as the next level for perceiving your tulpa, building up on the
|
||||
second task. The first step of this task is to let yourself fade away. For this
|
||||
you simply need to calm yourself down, let all of your thoughts flow away
|
||||
without actively provoking any new thoughts. I recommend to use a calm
|
||||
environment for this. Personally I like to listen to quiet music during this
|
||||
task, but you should try out what really works best for you.
|
||||
|
||||
The next step of this task is to move your passive focus to your tulpa and away
|
||||
from your own mind. Back to its feelings and thoughts that you sense in the
|
||||
second task. You shouldn't try to think about this step, just stay aware that
|
||||
you want to do this and it will work out sooner or later. (At least if you can
|
||||
handle the second task). If your tulpa now tries to say something you should
|
||||
perceive it as clear and centered feedback inside your own mind. But again:
|
||||
Don't try to actively focus on any responses nor provoke them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion of the exercise
|
||||
|
||||
The summarized target of the exercise is to experience a well powered up and
|
||||
centered version of your tulpa. Responses should be clear, any kind of
|
||||
possession and/or imposition should work very clear and direct while you keep it
|
||||
up. (You can expand the exercise further for certain abilities if you wish too.)
|
||||
|
||||
Your tulpa should have an easier time interacting with you, even after you
|
||||
finished the exercise. If you feel that your tulpa starts to struggle again
|
||||
later on you can use the single tasks as a passive way to overcome it again, in
|
||||
any way it feels beneficial for you.

## Using Thresholds and Furniture to Remember Your Tulpa
|
||||
|
||||
(Stone: I'm using my tulpa's account to post this guide.)
|
||||
|
||||
If you are like me, you may have trouble keeping your tulpa present with you
|
||||
throughout the day. Here are some tricks I have used to keep my tulpae more
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
You don't have to be good at visualization to use these tricks, but this guide
|
||||
assumes you can visualize your tulpa(e). This guide is for people who want to
|
||||
remember their tulpa(e) more frequently and keep their tulpa(e) more present.
|
||||
This guide may also appeal to people who want to improve visualization, passive
|
||||
forcing, and/or immersion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Thresholds
|
||||
|
||||
I define “threshold” as “a point of exit or entry”.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember to bring your tulpa through thresholds. Whenever you move into another
|
||||
room, open a door, enter or exit a house or car, etc., make sure your tulpa’s
|
||||
visualized form does so as well.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you exit your room, watch your tulpa lead or follow you. When
|
||||
you enter the bathroom, have your tulpa enter with you. Do this instead of
|
||||
having them simply appear wherever you happen to be. Treat them as a separate
|
||||
physical being who moves about the physical world as such.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do this for every threshold, you will incidentally remember your tulpa’s
|
||||
presence more frequently, even if all you do is go to the bathroom a few times a
|
||||
day. This trick has worked far better for me than leaving notes for myself or
|
||||
using “reminder” objects. One loses notes or fails to register objects as
|
||||
noteworthy (meaning they have little power as “reminders”), but when habits
|
||||
(like walking into different rooms) become reminders, one forms a habit of
|
||||
remembering.
|
||||
|
||||
To form this habit of remembering quicker, I recommend a reward and/or
|
||||
punishment system. I use Habitica. On Habitica, I have a registered this trick
|
||||
as a "habit". I reward myself for bringing my tulpae through thresholds and
|
||||
punish myself for forgetting.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Deal with Irregular Thresholds
|
||||
|
||||
I now easily remember to bring my tulpae through the thresholds I pass through
|
||||
every day, such as all the thresholds in my house. However, I still struggle to
|
||||
remember to bring them through irregular thresholds (such as the entrance to the
|
||||
grocery store).
|
||||
|
||||
I recommend getting in the habit of, whenever you plan on going out,
|
||||
specifically planning to bring your tulpa with you. If you have a calendar you
|
||||
use, and you have “Grocery Trip” written on one day, add “with [tulpa’s name]"
|
||||
under it. Mentally prepare yourself in advance to cross irregular thresholds. If
|
||||
possible, pay more active attention to your tulpa than usual during your outing
|
||||
so you are less likely to forget visualizing them passing through thresholds.
|
||||
|
||||
### Give Your Tulpa a Seat
|
||||
|
||||
This trick is a bit more difficult than the first, so I recommend you try it
|
||||
after.
|
||||
|
||||
Try to keep track of where your tulpa is as much as possible (no, I don’t mean
|
||||
“just get good”). Find a chair with nothing on it and let your tulpa sit there.
|
||||
Remember they are sitting there. Later, if you look at the chair and
|
||||
see/visualize them still sitting there, give yourself positive reinforcement. If
|
||||
you forget where they were sitting, you may choose to give yourself negative
|
||||
reinforcement if that works for you.
|
||||
|
||||
This doesn’t just work for chairs, but anywhere. Make sure your tulpa is
|
||||
comfortable. Don’t put them wherever because you’re too lazy to make space for
|
||||
them. Treating them like a separate physical being will make them seem more real
|
||||
to you, which is probably what you want. It will also make where they are easier
|
||||
to remember.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Respect Your Tulpa, But Don’t Make Excuses
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s say you had your tulpa sit in a chair, then sat at your computer to work
|
||||
on something. Three hours later, you turn around and see/visualize your tulpa on
|
||||
your bed. Then, you remember they had been sitting on the chair. Did your tulpa
|
||||
move of their own will, or did you forget where they were for a moment?
|
||||
|
||||
Ask your tulpa what happened, and be honest with yourself. It is possible your
|
||||
tulpa wanted to sit somewhere else, but it is also possible you just forgot. Use
|
||||
your own (and your tulpa’s) discretion. If your tulpa says they moved of their
|
||||
own will, and you are worried they are lying to protect your feelings, try
|
||||
asking them why they moved.
|
||||
|
||||
### Say "Goodnight", Then "Good Morning"
|
||||
|
||||
When you go to bed, make space for your tulpa to sleep too. Try to give them a
|
||||
comfortable place to sleep. If you have too many headmates and you want them all
|
||||
to be present, some may have to sleep on the floor (sad). Say goodnight to them
|
||||
and go to sleep.
|
||||
|
||||
When you wake up in the morning, say good morning to them and wake them up from
|
||||
where they were sleeping. Are they in the same spot? If they are, you may want
|
||||
to reward yourself. If they are not, you may want to discipline yourself.
