HOW DO I KNOW WHICH DESIRE IS MINE?

When you infuse energy into the pranic layer, only your real desires will stay. The borrowed desires will leave you! As with a tree when you shake it, the old and dry leaves fall while young leaves of energy stay, when you do this meditation, other people's desires will all fall away and only your dreams, your desires, will stay. Understand that your own desires that you came with, into this life are already imbued with the energy to fulfill them. Borrowed desires are not so deep and energy filled. But what happens is that you use the energy you came with to fulfill these borrowed dreams and complain that life does not supply you the energy you need to fulfill your desires. When you work on energizing the pranic layer, all the desires imposed on you by others will drop.

You design your desires when you are born. When other desires are imposed on you, your breathing changes; it becomes shallow. If you have observed kids when they are asleep, you can see that they breathe with their whole body. When social conditioning happens, your breathing becomes shallow and confined to the nose.

Prarabdha karma is your own samskaras that you brought with you. Borrowed samskaras change the way your prana happens. When you readjust your prana, all the false desires fall off. The purpose of this meditation is to strengthen your own desires, not to drop all desires.
