The form of the first question is coercive because it doesn’t allow me to verify for myself whether or not “my body is not only mine.”
When my mind and body are connected, I am inside looking out. When my mind and body are not connected, I am all “out”, wholly identified with phenomena that catch my attention, including thoughts, emotions, etc.
However, if I imagine that “my body is not only mine”, it helps to disidentify “me” from the body. This gives rise to the question: Who is aware of the body as something separate?
Regarding right alignment. I am a practitioner of Psychosynthesis. In this method of Work we have something called dis-identificaton exercise. The meditation encourages the seeker to identify with body, feeling and mind separately and then dis-identify to a central “I” which is described as a centre of awareness and will. The tenant is “I have a body, and I am.noty body…I experience feelings and I am not these feelings…etc Very similar I see to G and MDM Dr S description of alignment perhaps?
