How do i stop identifying with the body?

2 min 43 sec video, but the key is to do Self-inquiry. You can look up other Self-inquiry vids by Swami sarvapriyananda, if interested.

Wrong question: "How do I stop identifying with the body?"

Right question: "When will I stop identifying with the body?"

The power of choice is always present.

Only problem with this is that one has to first have the knowledge that the choice exists AND the Self-realization to make it happen.?

This is cool and I have some experience with self-inquiry and the relief that it brings, but should not be confused for a solution to emotional problems, like fears of abandonment et cetera. That would be spiritual bypassing, the phenomenon of people joining enlightenment cults who should be joining therapy sessions.

In other words, your answer is a great answer to the question that was asked, but the question was not the right question to ask for the problem presented.
