You have described the self-generated thought forms deposited in the body by the client’s mind tuning into and agonizing over a problem as being “a more superficial layer of negativity added by the client’s ruminations.” That could be interpreted as describing their location and not necessarily their significance. What is most important for us to know?

You are seeing accurately here, that our choice of words was with respect to the aggregate of origins and influences of a particular client issue, largely stemming from the akashic records in most cases, as a reflection of events on multiple other timelines which are a vast array of interactions far deeper and wider than what is taking place locally within the mind and body of a client. But that does not mean what the mind does within the body is insignificant. It may be located superficially relative to the whole of influences, but it has a strong influence, and for the worrier, a major one. This is why you have learned again and again through our teachings that it is usually the self more so than others who is to blame for a high percentage of individual struggles. While often times harsh treatment is caused by perpetrators in the first instance, as the initiator of corruption within the being, once undermined, an individual can be harmed for a lifetime by their own mind seeking and probing and agonizing over past events again and again and again, each time adding more negativity. The second issue with these remnants of thought forms surrounding a difficulty is that even if the deep layers are healed completely, leftover local thought forms imposed on the body by the mind of a client, whether the conscious, subconscious, or cellular conscious level, remain a minefield. And when the mind goes looking for a status report and finds discord, that might trigger a kind of witch hunt to see what it is all about and the capability there is all too real that it could trigger a reawakening of old wounds and, in effect, unheal what has been dealt with effectively. So this is a kind of self-prescribed poison. There is much inherent wisdom of the culture warning against self-doubt, self-criticism, and self-judgment, and this is a major reason why it can be so very devastating. It is not a temporary thought that simply ties a person up ruminating on dark issues when the person could be having a more pleasant experience. It is the actual physical consequences of psychic attack done against the self that makes it a problem with lasting consequences. So clearing such thoughts forms is always worthwhile.
