Gotcha. I was a bit confused by your "physical self" terminology as the relevance of the term "physical self" depends on whether you believe in some non-physical self or if you believe that consciousness and thus the self is just some emergent property of a particular configuration in your "physical self" (and thus there is no such thing as a non-physical self). There is a lot of evidence that if you change some configuration of your physical self that your experience of self will change.
