Thoughts and Emotions

Basically, all emotions are modifications of one primordial, undifferentiated emotion that has its origin in the loss of awareness of who you are beyond name and form.

-Eckhart Tolle

Every time you do ajapajapa, just take a few seconds to feel the high pitch eee sound (presence) and ask yourself "how are you feeling right now

Your goal is to be in control of your energies so that surrender is happening and not let the whirlpool of thoughts to cause emotional disturbances in your inner space. 

By dwelling mentally on the situation, event, or person that is the perceived cause of the emotion, the thought feeds energy to the emotion, which in turn energizes the thought pattern, and so on.

Echart Tolle.

Poise

"The struggle with the mind is an easy struggle if you are constantly vigilant, all of the time, doing always what you know you should do, not allowing the mind to become instinctive, not excusing the mind when it does become instinctive, not allowing the mind to justify, rationalize, excuse, become combative, but making the mind always remain poised, like a hummingbird over a flower, so that you begin to live in the eternal now, constantly, permanently. And then the within becomes natural to you, not something you hear about, study about, talk about, sing about, for you become open, awakened within."
