Does anyone knw any good easy step-by-step tips towards visualization?

Hi! I'm VERY new to all this Tulpa stuff and am kind of excited to learn about it. I read a lot of the general information on Tulpa creation and whatnot but I had some very specific questions about shape and the limits of the Tulpa's form. I understand that a Tulpa can be given a form by the host, a Tulpa can pick the form it wants, and the Tulpa's form can change at will (of both host and Tulpa if I understand correctly). This is where my questions come in... 1: How do you keep your Tulpa from becoming a nebulous ever changing entity? I can imagine it'd be difficult to visualize and force one's Tulpa if it is continuously shifting between this and that. 2: Can a Tulpa be given the form of a non-living entity (I.e a Lamp, a sofa, wardrobe, etc.)? I'm sure a Tulpa would change out of this form eventually (who wants to be a lamp forever?) but I was curious about that. 3: Finally, building off the last question, can you give your Tulpa the form of a PLACE? I'm wondering if a Tulpa can be structured as a building or similar structure. Visualizing the Tulpa would be much like visiting the Wonderland I read about and actually being able to move through the Tulpa and still be able to communicate with it. Is that even possible? Or is this a bit to far fetched? Bonus question: Although I'm a bit skeptical of the entire process of Tulpamancy, I am eager to give it a try. But I am worried that I may not be the best person to try this (for a number of reasons). Any advice that would put my mind at ease and encourage my pursuit of this endeavor? Thank you for your time and patience! I look forward to hearing from anyone willing to listen. Have a great day!

I puppet my thoughtform deliberately. She allows this, condones it and even participates in it. I would like to see some more discussion about this idea. Does a tulpa "own" its image? If so, is it unethical to puppet a tulpa's form? What if the tulpa gives you permission to puppet his or her form?

Can a host and tulpa collaborate on puppeting the tulpa's form? I had an interesting introspection when considering my thoughtform Melian while creating a "benchmark goals" chart for our new tulpa Yoda. I was reminded that Melian's form is distinct from her mind. I understand Melian's form is distinct from her mind, because her form has been destroyed many times in the Melian Show when she "dies" in episodes. Melian "watches" or experiences the Melian Show day dreams with me and often chooses the episode we will run together. She wants and likes me to puppet her form or image. It occurs to me that, not only is the above true, but we actually collaborate on the show. Sometimes Melian moves her form as well in the Melian Show. It is collaboration on the day dreams. Again, blending and collaborating. Melian can do this and does. Puppeting and parroting is supposed to be bad for a tulpa. But it is spot on right for Melian. It is who she is at her core. Here is an earlier related earlier posts I wrote through my Mistgod account: https://community.tulpa.info/thread-sentience-my-thoughtform-likes-to-be-a-puppet Signed, Mistgod, (You're god damned right I am a special snowflake.)

Assuming your tulpa wears clothes, what fashion styles does he or she like? Do your tulpas change clothing a lot? (I have lots of clothes). A link to my fashion show (and portraits) thread: https://community.tulpa.info/thread-melian-fashion-style-retro-girly-or-lolita-light EDIT: Oh I should mention that if you want to post drawings or pictures, so much the better!

I am so excited about these ideas I cannot seem to contain them, but I have having trouble articulating it to others. Check out my response here, I think I finally sort of got it out there: https://community.tulpa.info/thread-tv-shows-and-movies-you-share-with-your-tulpa-s-is-this-passive-forcing?pid=137629#pid137629 I keyed in on the movies aspect of tulpamancy with that one post about ADHD and movies and TV and how it was difficult to concentrate on the tulpa or remember the tulpa during the movie. Hell, with me, Melian IS THE MOVIE. That is what I am trying to say. It is how we perceive the world around us in relation to our tulpas. Some tulpas are like internalized people. Others are PROJECTED IMAGINATION or fantasy. They are equally valid and apparent sentience and all that, they are just different in how we interact with them, regard them and perceive them. Some are hating me because they cannot fathom what I am talking about. They think I am saying all tulpas are fake or that Melian is fake. I am having trouble understanding people like that (or what they are saying) because to them, tulpa are people, NOT FANTASY and have no element of fantasy. Melian has a huge element of fantasy about her. She is not unique though. I think there are many tulpas who are like that. I am not talking about imposition either, where you perceive thing with your senses. I am talking about imagination. I am excited to begin to be able to really understand this. I think it is a undefined and unrecognized but critically important factor to tulpamancy I had not clarified in my mind. But it was slowly coalescing these past several weeks. I have to find a way to express this idea in a clear way that makes sense to people. Let me put it this way. Melian would be FINE and happy skippy to go on an adventure with someone's role playing character. She would still be Melian. She would just be acting out a role. The role playing game virtual universe would just form around her as she plays the game. She does this all the time for me in the Melian Show. She does this when we read books together. She enters the story. I cannot express my enthusiasm for this stuff. I can't sleep. I forget to eat. I am so into the idea of tulpamancy. I wish people could understand where I am coming from. It is more than just creating a tulpa. It is about the enormous potential of the mind. ALL TULPAS ARE AMAZING TO ME Some tulpas have no wonderland. Some tulpas have a limited internalized wonderland. Some tulpas ARE their wonderland and the wonderland is the tulpa. Some of these wonderland tulpas are projected into the real world and the host and tulpa live in a fantasy world together 24/7. The real world is infused with the wonderland. Not using imposition either.

Let me start by saying that I know this is probably a stupid question, but I really want to be sure about this. I am creating my first tulpa, and am seven days in the process. I have been doing visualization, and traits. I have been imagining her in the same outfit since the first day. Starting yesterday, I noticed articles of clothing seemed to change during and between sessions. Just the shirt, jacket, or scarf would change color, texture, etc. I kept trying to change them back, but then something else will change after a while. Finally, when I just decided to let go and see what would happen, the entire outfit changed. All of the new clothes are pretty much a combination of what was changing before, just put into an outfit. Again, let me reiterate that I know this is probably a stupid question. Are these just results of me having a difficult time focusing on her form for long periods of time? Or is she trying to tell me what she wants to wear? Thank you to anyone who takes time to answer this. I'm new to this, and appreciate the help. I've read so many guides and FAQ pages, but still tends to be a question or two that I can't find a satisfying answer for.

I've been working on visualizing my Tulpa a lot more now as her mindvoice is becoming a bit more clear, its not perfect yet but I am able to distinguish her thoughts from my own a lot more often now. Ever since we have started visualizing, I seem to be able to get her form and her hair and whatnot down fairly clearly...but her face is just wrong. I can't explain it easily but it is blurry and the features seem to change. Her face shifts around. When I zoom into any given part of it I can see the details but when I zoom out her face is just a unclear faded thought. Her lips seem off, to large but when I zoom in I cannot see anything wrong with them. Her nose seems oddly shaped but when I zoom in I can't see anything wrong with it. How do I see her face more clearly?

In the past I've put art guides in the art forum, but this is art aimed at playing a trick on your mind, so I think it fits the guide section better. So you have a form for your tulpa, but it's difficult to visualize because you have no reference images? Then this is the guide for you. Example pictures (NSFW!): Why are there naked people in my guide? To that, I can only answer: Why doesn't everyone have naked people in their guides? Actually, these people aren't naked. See? This technique comes from Japan, where it's known as 水玉コラ (Mizutama Kora) or "Bubble Collage". It works because your brain is so good at filling in missing information that it does it automatically. It's how you can (sometimes) understand what the other person is saying when their cell phone is breaking up, or how you can piece together that the shopping list is asking for "a dozen eggs" even though in your girlfriend's handwriting Gs look like Ws. And of course because this is the internet, this interesting illusion has been used almost entirely for porn. Well, let's divorce it from porn now. Here's how you can use the same technique to help you visualize your tulpa. Take a look at this woman: Would you believe that she's really six women stitched together like Frakenstein's monster? Well yeah, probably, because you're reading a guide about that, and also there are differences in skin tone and the pieces don't always fit together quite right, and also I showed too much of that one elbow. But this was a rush job so that I'd have an example for the guide, and the point is that at first glance, she looks like a normal person. The bubbles were obviously added by bubbleimage.net. She should really have a bubble separating her face from her hair, because they're from two different sources, but they blended together well enough that I didn't feel like I needed it. Here's what she looked like before the bubbles: [hidden][/hidden] That image was put together with Pixlr Express using only the "Add image" and "History" tools. I'm sure you can do better if you want to used paid apps like Photoshop, or if you wanted to learn to use more than two tools, but I wanted to show how this can be done easy and free. And here's what she looked like before that: 123456 As always, I use Shutterstock for stock images because it allows you to search by model, for when you find a model you like, but you need her in a different pose or in different clothes. Shutterstock does have watermarks on the images, but you can usually avoid them -- I cut all the watermarks out of my example, except the one on her pants (and a little bit in her hair). I'm sure I could have found a good photo of pants without a watermark on them, but I took the lazy way out.

The thing is that I always visualize when I'm about to go to sleep or when I have some extra time around the day, I visualize every day for about 1-2 hours, I already have been doing this by nearly 2 months and it is very difficult sometimes, at some point I just can't concentrate and I start seeing green blobs, seeing a blurry image or simply can't see nothing at all, can someone give me some advise. Sorry for my english, I'm not a good writer and I also know that I literally just started the process on creating a tulpa and can't spect to have a fully visualize tulpa in 1-2 months. - Thanks :)

Without using Rasznir's Guide. My Visualization is so terrible, I can't even see the canvas and the numbers to do the exercise! And for the worst of all, I can't even see that ''Fuzzy gray form'' of JD's guide! Help?

So I just started Tulpaforcing and using my own wonderland since the day before yesterday, but I've had a bit of a problem. I can visualize the wonderland just fine, but I can't direct all attention towards it as if it was a lucid dream. I've seen other posts saying on how they and their tulpa(s) were having fun in the wonderland, so is it possible to focus all attention to the wonderland, and if so, is that what other people are doing? If they are, how do you successfully direct all of your attention to your wonderland?

I visualize almost all the time everyday without being able to control it, it comes at random. The thing is, this happens in millisecond/1 second flashes and my eyes are always open. When I actually try, It's just black. I try to move to my mind's eye, but I guess I don't know how?? Sometimes I sense what I want to visualize and I can barely make it out, but it's not there. I can't actually see it, and can't really understand the guides on this...

My thoughtform Melian can't sing. Her voice is too soft and she can't seem to sing on key. She lip synchs to songs we listen to, but can't sing worth a darn. Also, she can't whistle. She tries but only air comes out. My personal belief is my mind constructed her that way as part of her personality. She can't sing or whistle because my mind wants it that way. It is cute. Regardless of my personal views on why that happens, I was wondering if any tulpas out there have "physical" things they just can't seem to master or that the host cannot seem to visualize them doing?

I have decided to start making a tulpa today itself, but after lots of research, Ive come across a barrier as I begin to start with. People say I got to imagine my tulpa, imagine a wonderland,imagine a placeholder etc. What I don't get is what exactly do you mean? -Keep a picture of what I want in my mind and move it? -Close my eyes and in the thought voice of yours say to yourself "And infront of you is a a glowing ball of light". -Think what you want to say and 'project' is towards where you want your tulpa to be? As in, Im having trouble understanding exactly what Im supposed to do. Could someone explain this to me please?

Hey guys. I've been working with Vriska a veeeeeeeery long time in this visualization stuff, and it's been like nine hours of visualization but I still can't see her at all. A friend told me that I was supposed to see her as I see normal people, but it's been more than the half of the time (15 hours) oof the visualization process so I don't know if I'm doing it well. So here's my question. I'm supposed to see Vriska like she existed phisically or I'm supposed to "see her" like with a third eye? I mean. To see her but like with the mind. Just knowing where she is, what she is doing, how is she dressed, etc but not as how I would see another human. I hope I made myself clear xD ~L. ♠️

I'm making my first tulpa... So I've given her a form, and left out name, clothes, etc. so she can choose them later. The problem is visualization. I can visualize her, but she looks dim and very small in my field of vision, also sometimes I just see a random close part of her face... Is this a problem or do I just need to focus more?

I am ready to begin creating my own tulpa, since I've been learning and researching for almost half a year now. I have a wonderland (albeit one that isn't fully formed yet) and have some clear goals in mind. My only problem I face is this: how do you go about creating the tulpa to begin with? Some people say they imagined a ball of light and let it take shape and personality on its own, while others say they spent long periods of preparatory time writing down their tulpa's personality and appearance beforehand. I kind of have a vague idea of some features, like gender and stuff like that if the latter is true already. What method did you guys use to create yours? Thanks, hoping for feedback soon! :D

Hello, Since I was a little kid that I started to notice that some things made a lot of sense. The one i clearly remember, was this tall girl with black hair who kept always next to me, never talked, she just stood there. I don't remember the first time I saw her, although the first memory of her comes from my primary school (when I was about 7 years old) and she was standing still at the exit next to my parents who would always pick me up. When I was about 13 years old I suffered from a lot of bullying, mainly due to the fact that I didn't know how to interact with others and I was always quiet. She was my only company, but due to all the anger that I received everyday I wished that it would all stop. I just didn't wanted to recognize her anymore I wanted to be like the others, I guess. That didn't happened and the bullying kept getting worst, I was alone 24/7, had no friends and had lost any desire to have any. Depression soon started to kick in, and I had no idea on what to do, family was a mess, I couldn't talk to anyone except her even tho I knew I wouldn't have any answer it would was be the most peacefull moment I could achieve. I don't remember ever seeing her after that period until 3 years ago. 3 years ago, while I was catching the train to go to college a woman sitted next to me, only a few minutes after I looked at my right and realized that it was her and once again I had no idea on what to do. Not long after I felt into a big depression and at that time I had finally managed to have an healthy stable relationship with someone. I couldn't tell her, she (my gf) was the physical representation of the peace and company that I used to feel. I didn't wanted her to be ashamed of me, so I kept it to myself even tho I was getting worse by the day. That's when I started seeing other people and this time I would listen to them and I'd spend entire nights up listening to voices laughing, screaming and crying. Those other figures consisted on and old man and a young little girl that I cannot identify, while the last one was me when I was young. This was what disturbed me the most, it would always be in the corner crying and sometimes it would slit his throat and wrists. I couldn't handle it anymore, failed all classes, girlfriend left me cause I was simply a meat bag, I wouldn't talk or be active like I used to, I wasn't there and soon enough the first suicide attemp, then so on. I'd fill myself with pills and alchool every single time, I was so unware of reality that the last time I tried to kill myself it was on my mothers birthday. I couldn't see those people that loved me always worried and crying, running to the hospital and seeing the doctors doing what they could. They decided that it was for the best for me be in psychiatry hospital, since then until a few months ago I've been taking pills, wich I completly hate. I can't create any true and meaningfull relationship, not even with my parents after I've been into the hospital. I love to see her there every day, it brings me peace but all I trully wanted was to able to maintain that peace and safety with someone without taking the risk of listening day after day something telling me to hurt them in every way.

Hello there, I have a bit of a question. I'm very early into creating my Tulpa, and I'm having a lot of trouble with his skin texture. Every time I go to try to visualise how he feels, it always changes, first being sortof like a dense mist, then a normal, human skin texture, then feeling more like glass, and today when I tried to focus on him feeling like glass, I couldn't feel anything, though he was still somehow solid. Is this normal? Is it because his form isn't anything that you'd be familiar with on earth? (he sortof resembles a tall, cartoonish, 3d shadow, if that makes any sense) Thanks in advance, and sorry for the big block of text.

My tulpa is sentient, can possess me, etc. I cannot see him outside of my mind when my eyes are closed. I'm also unable to hear him unless it's in the form of thoughts. My question is whether or not you can hallucinate with all five senses rather than just sight, feeling, smell, and taste (given the situation that you'll lick your tulpa). I know that sound is very complex and you'd have to have a real life example to base his voice off of. If it is possible or not too ambitious to sense him aurally, I want to know if I should try to develop his voice along with everything else and if anyone on this forum has their tulpa fully as vivid as another being.

Sorry if the question is a bit basic, but I just want to know how many tulpas are of each. Mine is a 2D stick figure. Can't tell if it's easier to visualize that way or not. What do you all think?

I have just started recently trying to make the body for my tulpa in a wonderland room. I am not sure if I am visualizing correctly since all I see is black but I feel like I can sense my tulpa's figure through all the black. It almost feels like I am missing something or I refuse to open my eyes to see what's in front of me. Is this just how i'm supposed to learn or am I doing something wrong?

So I have one if those brains that thoughts fly in and out of really quickly, and my minds eye is horrid (I can only see dim shapes, the can be complex but it's really dim) I don't want to skip this phase, but even when I get her pictured, a thought come up and takes it away. What do I do?

So I am new to the whole tulpa thing and I want to make sure I don't mess things up. So I want to know What can I do if I mess up the model/Visualization of my tulpa? Is their a way to fix it if I add something I don't want? P.S. Can working on your tulpa for more than three hours a day make you exhausted or have major headaches. I haven't had any of these yet but I heard it is possible.
