Tulpas are independent imaginary people that occupy your brain, similar to imaginary friends, and with enough work, you can create your own. To begin creating your tulpa, close your eyes and begin to visualize how they look. Tulpas tend to look like people, but it is possible to make your tulpa look any way you want. Try to picture their appearance from every angle and smaller details such as their face and hair. Then, try to touch your tulpa as you imagine them. See what their hair and clothes feel like. Also, try to visualize how your tulpa moves. Imagine them walking, using different expressions, and making gestures. This will all help to build your tulpa into a full being.
