There is a time in one’s development where you switch your perception from being the body to the eternal being inside the body; the vessel to the pilot of the vessel.
One way to align with your most authentic self is to first, simply find a comfortable place to lay down, sit up, or whatever position is most comfortable.
Now, take yourself out of the equation. Observe your life objectively, from the neutral perspective of love. Watch your perspectives, opinions, beliefs, likes and dislikes. Remember, you are the silent observer within, and allow the thoughts come to flow, watch them like a movie reel. Don’t get sucked into any single thought, when you catch yourself drifting, take a deep breath and refocus.
