Reverse identity🔗

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

All our life, we have lived with the same body, same mind, same possessions, same relationships. We are so locked into our identity that we just cannot imagine being some other way. We have forgotten how to break free and flow.

In this meditation, you will take on a new identity for 24 hours! In just 24 hours, you will see that what you thought of as a solid identity is so shifting, so transient. And by taking on another's identity, you will also realize that at the deepest level, our emotions, fears and hopes are so universal, that you can longer say 'them' and 'us'!

Instructions

Duration: 24 hours

Step 1:

Choose a partner of any gender.

Choose a person as different from you as possible!

You are going to exchange identities with this person.

Spend some time telling them about yourself, and finding out more about them.

Gather whatever information you are going to need.

Step 2:

For the next 24 hours, you are going to be this person!

Visualize intensely that even your form has changed to the form of that person.

Your way of smiling, moving, talking, everything should reflect the other as closely as possible.

When you face some situation, think how he/she would have reacted in this situation. Then do the same.

Many times, you will naturally find your own identity coming up, your routine way of thinking and responding to situations.

Don't allow it!

Simply forget your own identity and become the other.

Go to sleep with your new identity, and wake up as the other person. You will be surprised how soon this shift can happen!

As you work with this technique, you will find a natural disconnection from your own identity happening.

For the first time, you are viewing yourself from the outside, and another person from within.
