Hello, Sara, I think we are not talking about the same things.
I had a rather extraordinary meditation experience - call it a glimpse ahead. And I know thoughts are rather tangible things. I know emotion is rather tangible. They have sources. I have felt how thoughts derived from emotions (those spontaneous monkey mind thoughts), how they arose, came into my mind's focus and went away. I could clearly feel a vast sea of emotional energy that gave birth to these kind of thoughts. So, if you tune in to the right "frequency" thoughts and emotions are as real to you as now is the physicality surrounding you. But you must "tune in". There are different perspectives on you as an energetic being, different things to perceive. I tuned in to one where you can directly perceive thoughts and emotions as tangible, let's say as tangible as I can perceive my physical body now.
The two bodies you describe now are the physical and the etheric. The etheric is surrounding the physical, and is subtle and a lot less dense, mobile to a limited extent also, and the energetic support of the physical one. Take the difference between the two, take the difference and subtlety, and imagine (for the time being) having bigger, even more subtle bodies and you can imagine how the emotional and further bodies feel like. They are "hiding" behind the sensations you now get from the first two bodies, and awareness of them and their phenomena will grow the cleaner those first two bodies are - less irritation and interference from more dense sensations. They exist at higher frequencies and are harder to detect.
There are physical/etheric blockages. They have this bodily or energetic feeling about them. But also there are blockages at other levels. Like a mental body blockage. I have felt one of those - a thought pattern influencing my life. It felt abstract, mental, unreal - at the same time it had the same properties as a physical/etheric blockage - feelings of tension, unnaturality, of something not being right. It was more subtle. It is another kind of blockage, but the same phenomenon in another energy body. This can be learnt over time.
About the triggering: When an emotion is triggered in your system, energy gets relocated. This energy is transferred along the energetic channels. If such energy hits blockages, these get "triggered" - uncomfortable emotions arise. The normal process of energetic adaptation to your environment hits resistance. This resistance brings forward negative emotions, an expression of your internal resistance against change. This is what I meant with "interworkings of energy".
Finally, I know that blockages can resolve and reform. I suggest grounding the energy that results from dissolving a blockage. Draw it below your feet. This should aid making it stay gone. There are additional techniques if you are interested, but try if that helps first.
Good success,
Oliver
