If you are not your mind or your body, but some consciousness/energy in between, what are you?

In a question about Eckert Tolle, ftp901 summarized a few of Tolles’ teachings. Ftp wrote
”you are not your mind or body, “you” are actually the consciousness/energy inside of your body (also posited in the Yoga Sutra) – the more you can align yourself with that energy and less with your mind, the more you will be effective in your work & relationships”
Whether or not this is an accurate representation of Tolle, I find this interesting. What I am curious about is this “you.” You are the consciousness/energy, and yet you are also the you aligning yourself with the consciousness/energy you. But that isn’t the point.
Have you experienced this way of being yourself? If so, how would you describe it? Even if it is something undescribable in words (as I suspect it is), please try to use words, anyway. Finally, what is the significance of this you being something separate from mind and body?
