Welcome To...

Innerworld Network

If not, can you point me in the direction of some similar blogs?

You don't even need one if you don't want it

Hell you can have one and just decide you'd rather exist in a general disembodied consciousness sense rather than a visualized image and that's A-okay if it works for you

Not every alter needs a visualized form

Nor do they need to actively be perceived visually to be existing and real

You do what works for you and what is comfortable for the sake of yourself and your system

Not just what the media rambles off as what is the right or wrong thing to do

🌌🦚

Whether the experiment or the scientist you crave the incomprehensible information of which is not understood

You crave peace in the violence

Or at least an answer to it

Its cold but it's safe

Its calculated and ensured

Heal what you can and remove what cannot stay

It hurts not to know

So here you must indulge in what should never see the sun

For yourself and others

When have you flown too close to the sun

Dude what

Uh, do you have any good tips for meditation to get to hs/iw?

Do you mind explaining the difference between Innerworld and headspace?

Innerworld and headspace are the same actually! Just different words for it ^^

Like how place and location are still that of where a thing is, headspace and innerworld are just an imagination tool taking place in your brain for alter communication but also just coping, healing and self exploration :D

I don't personally practice meditation, but I usually feel silly or exhausted keeping myself upright in that cliche medicating position when I try

Frankly, I'm all for laying in bed and just thinking, don't even have to close your eyes, but it helps reduce stimuli to focus on your thoughts

Thinking of what this place would be, what would it look like to stand in it, to hear it, to feel the objects in it, and so on

Getting into innerworld depends on if there is one to get to

You can discover it or you can build it- if your friend has any trouble imagining things they can always draw out a location or find one online that feels right

If they can but can't seem to see innerworld, there may not even be one yet, but try these things before you go crazy with it

If you want to build it, think of comforting things and start very small, I do mean VERY small like a chair or even a pillow, and expand- same goes for trying to see it

If you try all at once, you may overwhelm yourself and burn out, which can take a while to recover from and can cause headaches, dissociation increases, and disorientation

So just have them focus on what feels right

What the ground instinctually tells you it looks like, are you inside or outside?

For example, we have very insanely vivid imagination! We have dark grey walls, a whitish grey tile floor in the front room, and a dark grey carpet in the center that matches the walls as well as white baseboards. We sit on a red couch for front, and there's a white wooden chair with I believe a cushion, either white or light grey, as it's a tad new and hard to see clearly

I started with that room and branched out to more rooms once that one was solid! Doors may also appear as you get more grounded in innerworld to give you an idea of the size of the place, if its locked at all, don't force it indefinitely as it might be holding bad memories, ect.

I hope this helps your friend :D

Tldr; Start very small and focus on the tiniest thing like the ground type or a piece of furniture! If they're making it , I also suggest a pillow, lol

One, every time I imagine something it's always in a recording studio/acting set or the inside of a fancy hotel and can't go anywhere else. I'm not sure if this is a iw because I don't actually see a lot of talk on it in sysblr.. So that's my first ask: does this count, especially since I see the others in it a lot.

Two, can we request this as a iw/hs help?

-host.... Probably???

Oh maybe

It could be your first look into it :D and totally

Bit different format for this as my spoons are too low to write all fancy sorry lol

If you guys are super into music, acting, clothes, cosplay, ect. you could include spaces to create clothes and music or even just play music

You could picture hotel rooms to hold alters

A large lobby area to talk, decorated all fancy and clean and spaces filled with alter items to make it more homey

A counter where new members may talk to other alters for help in better solidifying an identity

Hell you could have a form of gatekeeper security to ensure nobody is in the recording room type front to say anything bad lol

You could also use front desk as front but I think if you see a sort of set that would be better suited as thats already where you're seeing

What we want to do is broaden your views

I would start small asmr slowly try looking around in your environment

Don't be afraid to take a moment alone to essentially meditate on it

Meditation isn't for everyone but it can be a simple as closing your eyes and trying to picture your ideal space to explore and make safe and your own

Yes and I believe sometimes they're both

Whatever is familiar and comfortable can be utilized

I say since he's just suspecting have him try to formulate a headspace as its something singlets can experience but it doesnt potentially accidentally force alters

See what he likes and what brings comfort to him- objects or locations that he likes ect.

Once you have a more solid space mentally, alters may be able to be visible there as its now a more solid space in his mind

Some people's innerworlds come to them naturally or they're made and theres no problem with either

But I would say start with that and dont rush anything and work on a comfortable headspace to then expand and open up to potential alters

Worst case scinario it's a decent tool for self exploration, comfort, and healing

I'm super lost

Oh weird

We get detached from innerworld sometimes

Usually its based on mental state or a dissociative wave

You also could see it as your brain testing your limits without it shrug tho idk how true that would be

It can happen for many reasons really

1.) I have a really bad imagination, like almost aphantasia levels. But I really want an inner world to retreat to for therapeutic reasons.

2.) How do you even check if you have one? I don't know if I do because I know I am in a system, but I have like zero communication with them as of now.

3.) thank you for doing this blog! Super helpful concept-wise!

We have a friend who has one while having aphantasia! Some can hear it or be told by other members what it consists of, much like internally being blind if that makes sense

If you have bad communication I suggest maybe looking at some different aesthetics/themes and see what feels familiar or search/draw what comes to mind when you think what your innerworld would probably consist of

You can also try having alters talk in journals about it if possible whether written or digital

You can always do what I told another user and try to start small and make your own space and invite those to connect the system with you so you at least have a place to gradually explore even if you cant really see innerworld

Start small

Be open

Don't force anything

And find some good work arounds for communication
