Emotions vs. Feelings

Back to basics with today's Daily Reminder – a little video clip for you.

At an event I once ran, somebody with a curious mind (a mind that wanted to put things into categories, in order to settle itself), asked me:

“What is the difference between emotions and feelings?”

It's not something I'd ever really considered until that moment, and in meandering my way to my own conclusions, I explored some of the basic principles behind how we experience all of life (which happens to include ‘feelings’ and ‘emotions’).

In doing so, I jumped from one metaphor to another, so this one features some of the greatest hits:

• Outside-in vs. Inside-Out (the teddy bear diagram)
• The inseparable nature of (the Principle of) Thought and Feeling, using a 50p coin to demonstrate
• The left & right hemisphere ways-of-being
• Thought system content vs. Awareness of Thought system and how ‘where you're coming from’ makes all the difference.

Relax and enjoy this 3 minute exploration:
