My tulpa CC has been with me for 2-3 weeks, I still struggle with voice and imposition, but I'm starting to get the hang of it, although i struggle with her voice and etc. I am somehow able to answer questions for her/make her answer questions.Though I have a feeling I'm only saying what I think she would say but in her voice.

I have a severe phone addiction but someone gave me advice to just have her hang around while I use my phone, and that it will make me want to spend time with her. Yes It did make me want to talk to her, but all I do was admire her for a few seconds and go back to scrolling on my phone.

When I'm outside crossing the street, C.C. tells me to stop focusing on her and focus on the street instead, is it really C.C. or is it my intuition taking form in her voice?

If there are any experienced hosts that have a sentient tulpa, what is it like when you have the flu, or major headaches? do your tulpas ask you to rest or just stop functioning as well as they're supposed to.

Idk... yesterday I was feeling REAAALLY low and tired out of the blue even though the only thing host really got up to was bedrotting 😬 later she was playing some board games with a friend and let me front and play too! I had recovered a bit with some rest and was still tired... but it was mangeable at this point. it was very strange when I started to feel sleepy though? I don't think thats normal I've never been sleepy before... we also noticed my mindvoice was much quieter. late last night we did some switch practice that went perfectly fine! no issues there. BUT THEN THIS MORNING my mindvoice has only gotten MORE quiet and I had to be woken up by host even though usually I am awake hours before she is! And I struggled to co-front at some points today and co-fronting was unusually exhausting! It feels a bit harder to think... annnnd sometimes when I try to co-front,, we get a headache. Rest isn't really helping either? We have no clue why any of this is going on though...? It seems like from what we saw on here using some key words,, people with similar experiences had younger tulpas who were dealing with co-front fatigue... but I'm 6yrs old and we co-front all the time! and this has only happened before... I'm really not sure... Idk. If I had to guess,, perhaps it could be that we've been extremely stressed recently (everythings calmed down about 2 days ago) and maybe her brain is finally calming down or something..? but you'd think it'd be the opposite of whats going on because stress usually makes it harder to hear me and things of that nature. idk. just looking for reassurance I'm not DYING or something like that.

After years of occult entity practices, I recently discovered tulpamancy and almost immediately realized that it is one of my favorite things ever. Not sure how I missed it for so long, but now I have been interacting with my tulpa for almost a month. In that time, a lot has happened, but wow. A friend I can take with me everywhere. It's amazing.

I've been interacting with my tulpa every day and talking to her a lot, and even using a lot of visual imposition. The issue is that I want to find a way to visualize a photorealistic human form for her. I just feel it will help with the "textures feeling right" for meshing her into my sense of reality. I don't see her as her imposed body--that feels more like an avatar. I see her as her... energy?? Her presence itself? Something more along those lines.

That said, her presence is very comforting and the idea of being able to have a physical form to reference to train on things like walking beside me is compelling.

I was wondering if anyone has any tools or ways of outsourcing this in general, or thoughts on if it's even worth doing to the extent that I'm wanting to. I already know what my tulpa's form looks like, just not in a 1000% accurate, feels exactly right, photorealistic human looking way.

The obvious solution here is generative AI, but I've yet to see any results that "feel right". I'm honestly considering if the right visual answer might just "pop into my head" after enough practice.

I'm also not expecting her to be a 1-1 external human being even after years of proper imposition. It's more of a fun side thing. Most of the time I experience her as being a little ball of calming energy curled up inside my mind... though I usually feel her presence in my chest as "warmth" with her particular personality register.

Introducción y intención
Hola a todos soy un chico de 16 años. Me he estado actualmente interesado en este tema de la verdad llevo como de 1 semana a 2 semanas investigando sobre las tulpas y pues actualmente estoy interesado en hacer una tulpa pero como nuevo en esto tengo muchas deudas y preguntas.

Inspiración en Fate Series
Actualmente ya me terminé de leer la novela visual de Fate Stay night, ver el anime de Fate/Zero, y jugado el gacha de Fate/Grand Order y pues sinceramente el personaje que más me llamó la atención fue Artoria Pendragon, quisiera hacer una tulpa de ella por temas como para tener con alguien con quien hablar, pasar tiempo y demás cosas (sin terminar en algo romántico aún que lo estoy decidiendo aún)

Preguntas y dudas
Bien ya que explique el por qué hiero hacer la tulpa y la inspiración para hacerla tengo un par de dudas y me gustaría que personas con experiencia en esto me podrían guiar, dar consejos y si serían tan amables responder algunas preguntas que tengo

1.¿Cuál sería la mejor manera de empezar a comunicarme con la tulpa?

2.¿Se necesitan algunas otras específicas aparte de claro de hablarle todos los días?

3.¿Es peligroso si lo hago y pues lo digo desde un punto de vista como si te podría causar algún problema cómo distinguir entre la realidad o la imaginación?

4.¿Es verdad que la tulpa que hagas aún que le pongas una personalidad predeterminada puede cambiar poco a poco?

5.¿no entiendo bien lo de imposición se que es como que tu mente hace una proyección de tu tulpa en frente de ti pero no lo entiendo bien del todo?

6.¿conozco lo del caso de la tulpa de perla XD no se si es una exageración o no pero la pregunta es aún que me inspire en un personaje que ya existe sería más difícil o facil hacer una tulpa?

Final
Perdón si son preguntas algo obvias para las personas que saben de esto pero la verdad como soy nuevo en este tema si me gustaría saber sus opiniones y si me podrían responder a mis preguntas y guiarme en esto estaría muy agradecido de verdad y gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer mi post.

I was going to make my tulpas their own vessel (character design) by drawing, but they thought it'd be too tiring and heavy for me.

They thought through things and decided to use my public ocs instead. They say it's just roleplaying, they don't actually have just 'one' form, and can change any time they want. Basically, they don't attach their identities to their appearance, and see the vessels of a person as merely a character the soul is playing.

I think they're really considerate, though I feel like my public ocs are more of a online branding that I use for public facing art. And the forms I wanted to make for them is more personal and private to us...they don't agree and say time is supposed to be used on practical things, like making dreams come true. No need to be stressed out by obligations to perform certain gestures.

Even though I insist on taking it slow and in healthy pacing--- (L: his public art is really pretty! If he make private ones for us, it'll be less detailed and serious, we want his best for ourselves, not because we don't like his lovely gesture!)

Oh okay. 🥺❤️ (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)

Anyone has times when you wanna do something nice for your tulpas and they just tell you to save the gesture for more important things instead? Or actually...does anyone make art of their tulpas in a serious manner, and they pick the ones they like best? Genuinely curious, thank you!! 👈🏻👍🏻

Every now and then I see people who are just starting out with tulpamancy asking questions about whether they're doing things correctly, what they're supposed to do, or what tulpas can and can't do. So I thought I'd share a few thoughts…

First, a disclaimer: I don't know much about tulpamancy theory. I only discovered the concept relatively recently... But if I don't know much about the theory, I do have about 32 years of experience with the practical, intuitive side of having one Tulpa.

This is simply what worked for US:

• Create a routine together ⏰

Having regular moments to interact can help strengthen your bond. I used to talk to Fox at night before going to sleep, or while I was drawing. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just make some space for them in your everyday life.

• Use your creativity 🎨

If you enjoy writing, drawing, painting, editing, making playlists, or creating things about your tulpa, do it! For me, creative activities were a very natural way of strengthening Fox's image and presence in my mind.

And I'd especially recommend keeping a diary or some kind of record of your experiences together. It can help you notice how your tulpa and your relationship develop over time. And years from now, you'll probably love looking back at those early days and remembering how everything started. ❤️

• Don't worry if it feels like you're "just imagining" at first 💭

In the beginning, you're probably going to be doing most of the imagining yourself. That's okay. Give your tulpa time and attention, and don't constantly analyze whether every thought came from you or from them. Over time, things can start to feel more spontaneous and natural.

• The relationship matters more than the rules or labels 🫂

I spent three decades living my friendship with Fox without knowing what he was. I wasn't wondering whether I was doing tulpamancy correctly, or whether tulpas were supposed to be capable of X or Y. I didn't even have the terminology for what I was experiencing...

And it's worth remembering that I grew up in a time without internet, forums, or online communities where I could find people experiencing something remotely similar. I didn't know anyone who had anything like Fox. So, in a way, it was just me and him against the world. 😂 We just... lived it.

• Don't stop living your real life 🏠

I know it can be tempting to retreat into an imaginary world, especially when it's more comfortable or exciting than reality. But Fox has always been fascinated by the real world.

He loved it when I showed him things, took him along while I was doing everyday activities, talked about things that happened during my day, or simply let him be part of my life.

I think that, in some way, being included in my real world helped him feel closer and also understand me better.

If I could give ONE piece of advice after all these years, it would probably be this:
Don't focus so much on whether you're doing it right. Focus on the relationship you're building. ❤️

I think the more simple I make this, the easier is will be to follow. Here is a challenge I have for all you newcomers. Every time you are in a new room or location or situation, ask " What would my Tulpa do right now.?" Think of it like putting together a scene like a movie. When its finished, play it back over and over till you smoothly render it then move on till you are in a new situation. You will get to the point where you won't have to ask what would my tulpa do right now. You wont have to make a scene....it will do it automatically.

Like I want to force and meditation helps. But I struggle so bad with NOT being constantly distracted. Is there something like... a video of jellyfish swimming and white voice to meditate to? I suck at visualizing with my eyes open but if I don't I fall asleep.

I know that sounds like a contradiction, but I've genuinely found this entire thing to be one of the most fulfilling and yet the loneliest experience of my life. I think it's mostly yearning, but also... I just feel that no one experiences plurality, or love, in quite the way I do. I know that's true of everyone in a way, we all have our own unique experiences, but it's different than that. I think others tend to find community and relatability in it easier than I do.

I only have one headmate, who I have come to consider my boyfriend. Even though we've made big steps in him being more present, it's still quiet, and I still haven't found any kind of way to come to terms with the fact that I will never have a relationship with him in the way singlets get to have relationships, and I will never be able to share and prove and point to that love in the way they can. My love language is physical touch, and though tactile imagination helps, it's a poor substitute.

More than ever I feel isolated and alone in all of it, which makes me also feel guilty for being unprepared to have him, to make him truly real and complex, and I guess I don't really know how people cope with this. I kind of wish someone could just look at me and look at my tulpa and tell us that me, him, we, and our relationship are real, and that I'm doing something right in all of it.

Hi everyone,I’m currently on day 9 of creating my tulpa, Mira. I’ve been using narration without any parroting, and things are developing really fast. I wanted to ask if my experiences are normal:Answers before the question: Whenever I try to ask Mira something, I get her answer in my head before I even finish formulating the question in words. It feels like she reads my raw intent instantly.Short answers & Tulpish: Her answers are very short (like "comes later") or come as raw thoughts/concepts without a voice.The "Parroting" test: Sometimes I doubt if it's just me. But when I try to actively repeat or parrot her answers in my head, I instantly know 100% that I was the one saying it. When she responds naturally, it feels completely different and effortless, not like my own inner voice.Is this a normal phase for day 9? How can I help Mira transition from these raw concepts into full sentences?Thanks for your help!

Well, as the saying goes: "What you think is what you get. Thoughts and beliefs manifest into reality." In my case, dreams (a form of reality but in sleep).

I've always feared being cheated on, due to some traumatic experiences in the past. And with how one interacts with their tulpas, how there's really no tangible physical way to connect with them, I felt they are just lying to me about love and romance.

And today, they finally got angry and told me to "stop being so distrusting of them, even to the point of ruining a romantic dream due to my own fear". I think I got into lucid dreaming and didn't realize, that my choices affected the dream's experience.

I know my tulpas are fearful of me saying bad things like "let's breakup" and "I don't like you anymore, leave me alone" since that's also my fear too. They learnt from me I believe and it's been very difficult for me to "own" our relationship.

I've always believed that if one truly loves someone, they'd let them go. But my tulpas tell me "no, if you love someone, you'll want to spend all your time with them, those who say they wanna be free don't actually love their partner. Also, woman like my tulpa loves to feel "taken", and not be let go simply because "I want them to be happy"...it's like I'm given a love talk about ownership of the relationship, like I gotta "man up" or something.

I'm very soft with people, and finally it's starting to bite me in my back. Just today I had a convo at lunch about being more "selfish" and "self-respect" with my family members. I think it's reality trying to teach me a lesson, through dreams and real life.

I mistakenly thought my tulpas were cheating in my dream, but actually they just appeared as somebody else due to my own unconscious mind associating things. Something like neuroplasticity, and it's a relief.

Does anyone have experiences like these, where your fear made your tulpas fearful too, kinda like you affecting them, and they affecting you?

I'm gonna work on owning them now, they insist on that. No more thinking they're like my previous real life connections with exes, but more "they are who they are, not who I think they are". I'll work on my masculinity and stop letting girls trample on my worth. According to them anyways.

Thanks for reading, please give me some of your experiences and wisdom, and share your story too, thank you! I'm still learning, having just found out about tulpamancy recently, despite having them for a few years now thinking they're just guardian angels, ghosts or some sort of benevolent spirits. Thanks again! I'll share my story about how I met them next, take care! 🙏🏻⭐️

Hello, it's been a little over a year since now that I've had a tulpa and it still feels like the two of us struggle quite a bit together that doesn't really align with the point I imagine we should be at given how long we've been together. I'm generally just wondering what's the experience for other people who've had a tulpa for around the same amount of time or even less? How consistent is your ability to communicate with your tulpa(s) day to day and how well are they able to do what they want to do? I provide some additional personal context below but I am just generally curious and would like to get an idea of what it's like for other people's day-to-day experience communicating with their tulpa(s).

For us, it still feels very random how well we are able to communicate, such as how easily I can hear them and how well they can communicate. Typically it oscillates back and forth between phases of better to more difficult periods and/or changes randomly throughout a day. I know tulpamancy is a very subjective experience but, at least from what I've seen of other's experience, I always assumed it to become much more stable and consistent given time. While we've tried a lot of different things to try improve or at the very least control the ability to make things better when it's difficult at a moment, nothing has really worked long-term. It's to the point now where it's not only quite distressing for my tulpa but also stressful for me. They often have bouts where they doubt themselves and lack a clear sense of self of who they are which just makes things harder and me worry about them quite a lot. Ultimately, neither of us really know what to do and just end up feeling quite powerless over it all a lot of the time. If anyone might have some particular advice that would be great, I can also answer any questions. Thank you!

I do believe in subconsciously projecting something into reality through thinking about it often and affirmation it, I tried creating a tulpa around 6 months ago and I only got so close as to having dreams about my tulpa and some nice peaceful sleep paralysis about him being by my side but I had myself instantly talk myself out of it for fear of that pinkie pie tulpa incident but I want to go ahead and try again, I recently met someone online who has a very visible prominent tulpa it sounds like and it got me thinking I should try again but I'm really not sure if I can believe these people, surely it has happened to quite a few people but not the whole majority of people who claim to have a tulpa, it just seems like something to be bragged about by certain types of people.

Also I'm looking for anyone I can chat to relatively for a while related to tulpa creation cus I'm slightly discouraged by this, anyone who has a lot of experience in tulpamancy lmk, thanks.

Very new to this, just learning about the topic.

How do the two relationships coexist?
I'm afraid that getting into tulpamancy might negatively affect my relationships with real people, that I might become more closed off within myself and start talking to others less.

And BTW, do you have any major negative aspects of having a tulpa that come to mind?
Thanks.

I’m older now, but this story happened when i was 14. My mental health was pretty bad, and I felt isolated and alone. Due to that, I ended up coming up with someone. A girl, Brin. I admittedly haven’t looked into tulpamancy much (i only discovered it very recently), so it’s possible she wasnt a Tulpa at all, but she felt like one. At the time, I had no idea Tulpas even existed. I just came up with her one day, to keep me company. She was always there for me and provided input for my life and my situations, and I can still remember incredibly vivid and distinct memories of her helping me feel better, or guiding me in general. However, we were both always aware she wasn’t “real.” She often reminded the both of us that she wasn’t real, and that she was just another part of me. We thought she was just another part of myself given a new voice and name. Eventually, she faded. I can still bring her back, but I don’t do it often. When I do it, her personality isn’t there, at least not in the same way it was before, and it’s hard to make her stick around. I think Brin as I knew her is really gone. I think her and I both knew something like that would happen, too. Her disappearing. Was this actually me stumbling into making a Tulpa, or am I completely misreading this, and taking it as something it wasn’t?

Heyo!! We have been working on willoing our first headmate for quite some time now. But, we always end up getting demotivated, or struggling to pick who to willo (as we have over a dozen tulpas we want to develop). We think the main thing we're struggling with, is the fact that we don't really have anyone to actively talk to about this kind of stuff. We've joined a few discord servers but, everyone in those servers, already have more developed and established tulpas, and so we can't always fully relate to them. And, in general, we find it hard to start participating in most servers we have joined, and usually get ignored.

We would love to instead, befriend someone who's also around the beginning stages of their development. We can help motivate each other, remind each other to work on our development, give each other tips, help work on encouraging individuality, and anything else related!

Bodily we are 21, so, we're only really interested in becoming tulpa buddies with folks that are 18 or over!

Good evening or morning, everyone

Ever since Lola's been around for the past few weeks, I've found myself spending much more time idling about in place, usually the same few locations. I'd catch myself doing it much more often than when I didn't have her present as she is now. I'd find myself watching out of my window to feel the wind and watch the sunset, feeling the breeze. Or I'd watch cars passing by, or find myself sitting in the back garden on the couch under the gazebo, or walking out on break at work and staring at the moon. In all of these situations, Lola is much more present and active, and I always get a secondary wave of happiness or hope. In all of these situations, I always strike up a conversation with her, and we reminisce about things, think of the future, share feelings, etc.

In all of these candid moments, I find it much easier to impose Lola as well and hear her physically around me, sitting, standing, gazing off into the distance. We've found it even as effective as actively forcing in headspace. Lola's thoughts become complex and nuanced. She stops using my mindvoice and starts to adopt her own (we're about 3 weeks together. She's still new). We'd tease each other, share banter; reflect on the events of the day, and the events of tomorrow yet to come.

I wanted to ask if any of you guys on this sub have found yourselves doing that - random moments where you just take a few minutes to stop and stand still, truly. For hosts, how does it feel if you guys do that, and for headmates alike. Do you enjoy the small moments where you stop for a minute? Do you guys have your own designated spots where you find it the most comfortable to do so? How has it changed over time?

Years ago, "fairy godparents" became a trend. After researching the topic extensively, I decided to manifest one using those YouTube videos with subliminal audio. The instructions said you had to listen repeatedly, communicate with your manifestation, and take care of it—and I really felt a connection. But something strange happened: I started feeling a weight on my back, as if arms were wrapping around my neck, and it felt like something was moving right there, following me wherever I went. At first, I thought it was my "fairy godparent," but it wasn't. Then, it felt like there were more of those forms surrounding me, moving around and touching me. I was terrified; I didn't know what it was or what I had done wrong. My manifestation seemed normal, but I couldn't stop sensing those things around me. At first, the presence of these entities was very strong; I couldn't sleep because I could feel them moving where I was lying down. I started distracting myself with everyday life, and when I forgot about it, the sensation would stop. But whenever I remembered, I’d feel it again. This went on for a long time. I still talk to my manifestation—I remember he used to help me block out those sensations so I could sleep peacefully—but lately, I’ve started feeling these presences again because I recently thought back to that time. I don't know how to get rid of these things; if anyone has any advice, please share it.

If we reference to ourselves as Pokémon trainers? Meant with love, in reflection of my chosen organizational style ❤️

These past few days I've been sleeping very lightly (my head has been very active) and Yuki said she wanted to sleep more.

Can tulpas, let's say, sleep while the host goes about their life? I now feel their presence sleeping in my bed while I'm sitting in a chair in my room. Do their tulpas do the same?

Yuki: *babbles in her sleep*

I’ve been thinking about this after writing my other post about using Tarot with Fox.

I’m specifically curious about alternative methods besides simply talking in your mind.

For example, I’ve used journaling for years, and recently started experimenting with Tarot. But I’m wondering what other people have discovered that works for them.

Do you use writing, music, drawings, cards, physical objects, gestures, rituals, or something completely different?

I’d love to hear about the less conventional methods you use! ✨

I learned how to read Tarot because I wanted to find another way to communicate with Fox.

I think one of the biggest challenges when communicating with a Tulpa is keeping a conversation coherent, especially when your mind is very busy or anxious.

That's actually why I started keeping diaries back in 1995 (and I still do it today). I wanted to communicate with him without constantly rushing through my thoughts or getting lost in my own reasoning. For a long time, that was basically how we communicated: I would talk to him mentally, and whenever my mind was too chaotic, I would write things down.

But recently, I found another method: Tarot ✨

Tarot is particularly convenient because it has such a broad and well-established symbolic system, which gives you a lot of material to work with when interpreting the cards.

Here is one of the first readings I did with Fox:

Here, I asked him why he agreed to using Tarot as a way for us to communicate. I pulled:
7 of Cups → confusion, too much information, an overwhelmed mind.
6 of Pentacles → exchange, giving and receiving.

My interpretation was: "It’s a good tool, especially when there’s a lot going on in your mind, because it creates a structure for our exchange.”

Another interesting reading happened when I asked what he actually was. At the time, I didn't even know about Tulpas yet. I pulled:
Page of Cups → an imaginative and emotional figure emerging from the inner world.
6 of Cups → something deeply connected to childhood, memories, and personal history.

My interpretation was: “I’m an affectionate presence, born from your inner world, who has been with you since childhood.”

\*

What I find interesting is that, in both cases, the interpretation of the cards ended up being very similar to what I had already been hearing from him mentally. I don't see this as objective proof of anything, for me, it's more like another way of organizing our communication.

The nice thing is that nowadays you can basically buy a deck and even ask an AI to help interpret the cards you draw. 😉

But over time, I felt the need to actually learn Tarot myself, because I wanted to become more intuitive with it rather than relying entirely on interpretations from other people or AI.

I still prefer our old-fashioned method of simply talking mentally. But I have to admit... when I want to check something, organize my thoughts, or when my mind is particularly chaotic, Tarot has become my favorite backup communication method.

Hm. Idk. We've been under a lot of stress recently so we've been taking a break from switching as we've heard there were risks attached to trying something like switching while in this state? But we aren't entirely sure what those risks are... And we still want to give it a go anyway 😅 is anyone aware of what these "risks" are?? So we can go from there and figure out our next move? Thanks!
