When you are completely alone, from both people and animals, take off all of your clothes, as well as jewelry, hair accessories, head coverings, makeup, and nail polishes. Examine yourself in the mirror very thoroughly. Try different poses or facial expressions. Who do you see? Now attain a sponge or washcloth. Soak it in clean warm water, then squeeze out enough water that it drips but does not flow, and bathe yourself until every area of your body has been touched. Do this using only the mirror for navigation: do not look down at yourself. It is important that you use only the mirror to guide you. Do not go quickly. Go very slowly, be very gentle, paying special attention to any wounds of the flesh. Dip the cloth or sponge in water again as need be. Do not mentally note feelings such as embarrassment, skepticism, or arousal: merely do this task. When you are finished, you may posture or frolic if you like but stay in clear sight of the mirror. Once you are dry, look at yourself again. Who do you see? Have there been any changes?

I would, but we only have 2 mirrors, and they're both very very small.
very good idea, though.

before, I saw me, Howard Yeend, User24.
thin, long hair, the beginnings of a moustache and beard (not intentional - laziness) a direct look on my face... direct as in... focused. you can see the moon shaped scar on my leg (which I quite like) where I accidently stabbed myself (!) and the thin scar on my stomach from when I was very little, and my hairy legs :(
afterwards, I was pretty much the same, I must now admit that I didn't exactly follow the instructions - I had a bath instead (well, I needed to wash my hair) I felt more tired, and a lot wetter and colder. The look was still there.
Do I pass this level?

it was difficult for me not to think about anything, to let feelings pass me by. there seemed to be too much going through my head.
it should have been for me a figuratively spiritual cleansing. i remember once a friend told me he was having a bizarre day & his friend came with a feather duster & dusted him off. he said it was exactly what he needed.
i was hoping this was going to be like that for me, but i guess i was concentrating too hard.

i really want to do this, but.... well, there's the mirror problem. the only big mirror we have is in the hallway. but the one in the bathroom is pretty big. big enough.
the real problem is, I don't want to look at myself naked. if i can help it. ever.

i stare at myself in the mirror far too often, clothed, naked, and anywhere between.
