Cut the link between emotion and thought

When pain body is activated, how to lessen grip on me?  Despite awareness, feel agitated and at its mercy.  How to flap wings to release energy?

What is the trigger?  Certain thoughts in the head.  How to turn it off?

Observe link between thought processes and emotions.  Important to cut the link.  Pain body feeds on certain thought processes.  By feeding the thoughts, you amplify the pain body.  Ducks do not think about...
Thinking becomes totally contaminated by old emotions inside you, total distortion of reality, thinking through the emotion.  One can be totally deluded at the moment.  No separation from emotion and thought.

See how it arises and catch it at early stage.  See that it is the pain body.

Be the awareness, allow it to be there.  Don't think "I shouldn't be feeling it."  In the spaciousness, it disintegrates.  Be careful it does not feed on your thought.  It requires alertness.  Go into the feeling of the inner body so that attention moves away from mind to the inner body.  Be present as part of your being.  Emotions feed on the mind.  Catch the thought.  Cut the link between emotion and thought by being aware, being alert.  The sword of presence to cut the link.

The duck which flaps its wings leaves no trace of the fight.  Nothing, just gone.
