Believe it or not, but feelings and emotions are different from each other. Emotions originate from a deeper level within us. Feelings originate from some type of sensory input that the brain can interpret and thus interpret as a feeling. If I may say it this way: feelings are felt while emotions result.
Emotions are deeper and more profound (of the Soul – more moving). Spiritually, our emotions reflect the degree of alignment between what we are doing or thinking vs. what we ”should” be doing or thinking.
Emotions are reflective of our true Inner sense of right and wrong, they are our only True guide along the path of life as we make decisions about how to proceed.
