Why do I experience a second, floating body when body scanning?

What is ones "act-ual", or real body?
It's good to experiment, even look what (kind of regard) is lesser stressful, if certain regard still contains stress, and not so good to assume preoccupations (ideas of phenomenas or the phenomena itself) as "this is real, this is mine, this is my self, this is what I am".
Understand, Nyom Kara.
Do that much, and no need then to ask if certain phenomena was right and real afterwards. Look and investigate again.

That's really interesting. I would say that because Goenka and the ATs (and the Buddha as well) say to scan the actual bodily sensations, the reality, it was the right thing to do to return to the body itself. Did you talk to one of the ATs about this, by the way?

This is interesting to me, because I experienced the same thing and it turned into a bad habit that took a while to get rid of. My response was to return to the body once I realized what was happening, and that is also what the AT said.
What I experienced was that the projection had some flaws... I could easily map strong sensations to it, but I could not map subtle sensations to it. It took some time before I even realized that I was working on a map or projection rather than just sensing actual body. It also took a while to break the habit. I chalked it up to beginner's fumbling.
