When I first started practicing, I could only visualize Luna for a second or two. Now, I can visualize her for around five seconds without losing my concentration. Interestingly, it seems to help if she's moving around or doing something. Visualizing her while she's standing still is quite difficult.
I don't know if this will help you, but I will often not really visualize Twiley so much as feel her presence near me at times. So that I feel her even if I am not looking in her direction or if she is in my periphery (actually, seeing her in the periphery is easier for me because, well, less details there). Not sure if I am being clear with the sensing her presence thing...

Surprising, so you weren't working towards this necessarily it just sort of happened? Was just wondering if you could offer any advice. Are you still just feeling pressure?

In fact, that was what I felt when I first started doing this stuff - that weird feeling like someone is watching over you.

Are you still just feeling pressure?Pretty much yeah, although I can sometimes feel her touching my face or neck now. It's a bit like when you have a conversation with them really. While you can more or less control when you converse with your Tulpa, you don't 'know' what they're going to say until they say it. Similarly, you can control when you're touched, but where you're touched as your Tulpa makes it's own decisions. Hopefully that made sense.
If this helps, the easiest area to develop for touch is probably your hands and fingertips. Try to imagine Twiley's fur and how it feels as you run it through your fingertips. Is it soft or coarse? Short or thick? Is it rigid or does it come apart between your fingers? Those sorts of question were a good starting place for me .
