Anyatva bhavana means: “Everything that I call mine (body, mind, name, relations, wealth) is actually other than me, the soul.”

Here is a very simple example:

• I say: “My body, my thoughts, my house, my family.”
• In Anyatva bhavana I reflect:

- “Body is my body, but it is not me. Mind is my mind, but it is not me. House and money are my things, but they are not me. Even ‘my son / my mother’ are other souls, separate from me. Only the soul is truly ‘I’.”

So an actual contemplation can be:

> “I am a conscious soul. > This body is made of matter and will be left here one day. > My relatives, wealth, name and status will stay behind. > They are all anyat (different) from me. > I should not get attached to them.”

This is Anyatva bhavana – slowly cutting the feeling of “I am this body and these possessions” and remembering “I am only the knowing–seeing soul.”
