hiii! I'm here to help a system friend for them :)))
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
Also, sorry we said you, we mean it in the vague "you" POV lol
