I'm having great success engaging in IFS therapy on my own. Especially on lighter issues. Anyone else here doing the same?

I do have trauma and I've encountered times where it can be challenging to engage with several parts with exile and protection ongoing, and I do see why a good therapist is needed, but it has been good so far.

Do you have any advice for me regarding this?

I've found it important to spend enough time on each part, and that enganging with single parts (where possible) one on one, is easier and to always find a positive and healing conclusion to each session that the part feels comfortable ending each session with - and not leave things unfinished.

Please only constructive advice 💜 thank you for reading.

Who else has one or a few jerks happen either in the shoulder or the side after a doze. I can sit here and feel a brief doze attack come and it always ends with a jerk. I also sometimes have seizures.

Tell me about your jerks and how they happen.

I would love to hear what you guys see or hear at the moment of sleep paralysis AND even hypnagogia. Here a small collection of mine:

A male voice: "name" is already dead.

A male voice: Without the Great Octave, passing will be strenious.

A happy voice: When you have a body it's for your beautiful soul not to get out 🤪

Download: The life is chosen as a theme or a reference point. The entire experience goes on in the mind. Everyone is real. Real as in individual. But the avatars are the story, and the mind is ONE.

A voice: God is your brother. (After pondering of who God is)

A conversation going on right over my head by two people. One sounded like my dad, so I said: Hi dad, you OK? He replied : I'm doing great, how about you? I replied: awesome. Then I heard a podcast and realized it was the first podcast I listened to when I reconnected to the body.

A humorous voice: Come out then!

Vision of the firmament. Sun, moon, stars - artificial. And not very well made close up 😁

A note before my eyes, saying: The financial system coming down. Cryot0 takes over for a while 😶‍🌫️

Vision of dry land.

4 midget people standing at the foot of my bed.

Kind voice: Lighten your thoughts so you can see what's going on behind the scene.

Hypnagogia: People walking by, a woman peers right in my face, smiles and waves. A bird soaring up (day after a seagull died at the harbor). Happy faces, scary faces. People walking as if in a daze. (Many sleeping people) I have tons of these - and premonitions so I can't add them all.

Who has some to share? ☮️💜

So I'm suspecting narcolepsy and my doctor just prescribed vitamin D because I was low. I'm having wonderful waking days but at night I'm crashing with severe fatigue and drowsiness to the point it hurts to have to get out of bed. Anyone else react like this to vitamin D? Does it pass when levels are normal?

Any idea to diagnose narcolepsy? I already have focal seizures. Left frontotemporal.

I love experimenting with consciousness and this morning I was meditating. I got to a relaxed and comfortable space approx 5 minutes later and I started wiggling and swaying my consciousness inside the body.

I instantly started having hypnagogia. Usually hypnagogia is something that happens right before sleep in my case, but this time it was instant with the wiggling - and I also felt the familiar "dizzy" feeling right before an AP.

So clearly the wiggling triggers something!

In this wiggling experience I started wondering what was up in the blue skies. Immediately I saw the firmament with the stars and the sun, and it was looking kinda artificial. And to my opinion, not very well done haha.

I tried to look closer and my vision zoomed in. I saw other stuff up there too but I have no idea what it was. It looked like streaks and worms. 😅

Anyway, has anyone else had experience with wiggling in meditation. Anything you'd like to add? Other cool tricks or ideas?

So I've always wondered; since we're these balls of light (consciousness) when astral traveling unless we choose to have an astral body. How did our physical bodies come about? Are they also projections of our minds or is it something deeper? Is it possible to change your physical avatar based on knowing this, and if yes - has anyone figured out how?
