Is removal of negative thought forms from cellular consciousness done effectively by the DSMR process? Is that accomplished by the same imagery applied to change the energetic signature within the akashic records, or a different mechanism?

This will be taken care of by the same energy that reaches out to the akashic records to change the energetic signature there. It is a general healing signal that is created by the intention of that energy step, to take the intention of that healing encapsulated in the framing or the aggregate removal of piled-up emotions, to externalize them, that does the trick. It can be used by the divine realm as fuel to allow us to do what is needed in a more detailed way to trace the relevant cordings to repositories of energy that are locally contained in cellular consciousness, for example, as beliefs and other liabilities regarding soul attribute expression as well as thought forms that are a pocket of discordant energy that has been deposited locally in the body, and being perceived by the client's mind, and becoming the focus of the healing work, at least in part. So this is adding to understanding, but you have not been missing anything so you need not worry you have been leaving things behind. This will be addressed as part of the problem because it is a perceptible source of negativity that will lead to bodily symptoms, the construction of metaphors when the mind goes looking to see where the problem resides in the body, or a general request is made for the healing of the issue and the divine realm sees additional cordings to stray thought forms still present in the area and removes them. So this will be taken care of routinely by the DSMR protocol.
