I've done that "exercise", what my teacher referred to as a "body scan", also what Chopra described in "The Way of the Wizard". It works in accord with what don Juan mentioned about memories being stashed in various parts of the body - in dJ's case, I believe he said it was in the legs.
Even so, what is dredged up is done so by the awareness, which still does not give definition or identification of the awareness itself. In a way, that process reminds me of a game we played on my youngest daughter when we suggested she try to see her eyeballs. She actually tried it. I'm not sure an awareness can "see" itself any more than you can see your own eyeballs.
It does seem that that which is aware only sometimes resides in the body.
In regard to assistance with identifying which part is aware, I'd be curious what you might be able to help with and what form that help would take.
