Extreme Meditation

Carly and Hank both wished they could live as the opposite sex. The two started spending time together to live vicariously through the other, but eventually that wasn't quite enough. They wished there was some way to swap bodies so they could live as they intended. Luckily Carly had recently bought a journal about metaphysical meditation that made bizarre claims with strange instructions. Perhaps the chapter about "abstracting yoga" was their silver bullet.

It was a complicated ritual, and everything had to go right. Maintain eye contact, touch through the open palm, match the rate of breath, have identical heartbeat, inter brain wave patterns, and so on. They performed the ritual many, many times, but nothing happened. They began experimenting, grasping at straws to make the ritual work. They tried performing in direct sunlight, taking mushrooms, and even stripping naked. Finally, after seven hours, it happened.

Carly felt a stirring in her abdomen, almost like static electricity. It spread to her nerve endings and increased in intensity until it was almost unbearable. It subsided after a few seconds, and she had the mental acuity to feel the wind against her skin, she knew her anatomy had changed. Her breasts were gone, and in the place of her vagina was a new appendage. Her height had slightly decreased, but her musculature was far more developed. She saw her own body opposite of her, where Hank had clearly gone through a similar ordeal. The two embraced in their new bodies with tears in their eyes.
