The main controller, the one who normally controls the body, usually maintains consciousness, awareness, and some degree of control themselves.

Due to the difficulty in expressing the inner workings of the mind from one person to another, the best guides often boil down to sit back, relax, and practise. Before beginning, a tulpa usually reaches vocality, and is able to talk, but some have discovered that possession can be used as a first communication method. It really depends on the tulpa. |
The usual starting point is to try and possess a hand. To sit back, and relax, and let your tulpa think and push and experiment as much as they can. |
