Mind and body: listener observation and question

For years, I've been looking at thought and limiting beliefs as a way to work through the feelings and behaviors that they create, to have a better experience in life. Now, working with you, I'm told to turn into the body and experience the physical sensations, to go beneath the labels and experience what's there. I can also be aware of the thinking, witnessing it but to stay with the body. 

I've also remained present with the behaviors and the conditioned thinking, witnessing what is actually happening rather than the projected reality onto another person making them the bad guy. I've found that incredibly enlightening to see that the experience isn't happening in the external world but is a projection of all the mental chatter and the attendant behavior. 

My question is do both approaches dissolve conditioning? I ask because for me, it seems that seeing the thinking and behaviors has far more impact, at least at this point. And yes, I am aware that going into the body or witnessing the thoughts and behaviors is done from a curious place rather than trying to get rid of it.
