So I do not understand this. Do people not feel satisfied with having the subtle level and they want to have it go more intense for no reason?
I agree, there's no need to play up emotions, just see your thoughts as exactly what they are, thoughts, and then continue with what you feel is more productive to do. Ruminating certainly does no good. Yet you mentioned that just focusing on parts of your body brought up feelings of intense anger. It doesn't make sense to feel anger when you're focusing just on your physical body, as your body is pretty neutral, unless you've got some deeply negative feelings that need to be addressed.
