This video was inspired in response to a question asked by a viewer from an interview video. The question was asked by a viewer who subscribes to / joannadevoe . The question asked was: What is the difference between feelings and emotions?: • EVERY WITCH WAY : An I... .
Joanna DeVoe was the awesome interviewer and you can find more wonderful works at www.joannadevoe.com
There has been a lot of confusion from this video because of semantics. The English language can throw us all off.I used the word feelings in this video which really confused people. In the video, I talk about how when I use the word feeling I am talking about "body sensations". I wasn't referring to feelings such as sadness, happy, apathetic, energized, etc. However, those feelings can be indicators of intuitive hunches.
When you have an intuitive "feeling" you might get a sick feeling in your stomach, or it feels like butterflies are flying around in your gut, the hairs on your head stand up, you sense a stop in your body to not go any further, you sense a rush of energy to your head, you sense a strong inner voice that says, Yes!, your body wants to run away from the person you are talking to....Etc. There are so many body sensations like these that are signaling us to listen to our intuition. Emotions come after a thought is manufactured in the brain from the body sensation that was felt or sensed intuitively.

so feelings are the guiding light in our lives (intuition) and emotions are the abstractions that hold them back. you can see this when arguing with a person that has been brainwashed. you tell them a truth that threatens their past life an they guard themselves with emotion to justify their feelings. so then emotion really gets in the way of new feelings to arrive. Also emotions really are a taught subject in society; meaning everyone likes to copy them from one another to fit in.

It never dawned on me that emotions and feelings we're different. Like you this question came up for me. Einstein said once if he needed to find a solution in an hour he would spend 59 minutes finding the right question. Today I googled the question and found this clip. Thank you for following your guidance. Lightbulb moment! Sending gratitude!

What a great clarification of the difference between feelings and emotions!. My favorite part was the discernment of true love. Also - "feelings are my truth always."

I think you've previously mentioned a contrast with ego in the same way, and I think this helped clarify that. Ego is clearly tied to emotion. My recent thoughts on this are that ego emotions are very much a matter of social identity and social rank. Drama, as you put it, that comes from a sense of the way we are seen by others clearly is an ego response. P.S. Hearing about the violence of the past, I just have to say how glad I am that you're here to share these things with us. Thank You.

Thank you Suzanne for providing insight into how important it is to feel everything. I was already in dilemma between watching vs feeling and was researching about the same and came across this video of yours. I actually had this experience of feeling my inner soul(true self) but I lost the connection as soon as I started thinking, I am confused that is it possible that we operate solely through the feelings. It was a profound and empowering experience as if God directly was acting inside me, I was able to handle my fears better. I think we all have access to the source but we get distracted from that power due to our thoughts and confusions. Just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to learn more, please make a video on feeling vs watching. By the way, you look Beautiful🥰. Thank you again ♥️🙏

Great video - I see it this way - Feelings are the intuition, the truth as you may call it, and emotions are cognitive distortions, in thought form, which are reactions to the environment based on your subconscious belief system programmed form childhood, past trauma etc. Emotions are the chemical bodily reactions to the environment - people, situations etc. created through perception induced as thoughts based on belief system. (Subjective) Feelings are just there to guide us to truth. (Neutral)

I just found you. You are awesome. Your teachings on intuition are spot on. I have done a lot of research on the subject and even used intuition to win a big prize pay-out in the lottery. I know what you are talking about. I have experienced most of what you talk about and you articulate them so well. Keep up the good work.

Your teaching will help me to understand so much about my life. I have to share one experience with you that happened 3 years ago. I was meditating on a ledge in the mountains. Twenty feet in back of me was a mountain lion and I sensed something was in back of me. I turned my body as I was sitting there. Funny I had Angel music playing in my ears. There are no accidents. After the initial shock of having a mountain lion 20 feet away from me staring me down I calmed my breathing. After about I guess 5 minutes it just walked away like I wasn't even there after it stared me down like a deep stare.

It feels more like Feelings are neutral knowings while Emotions are charged, negatively or positively? Emotions directly influence or demand an action.

@SuzanneMichelleFox 7 жыл бұрын

Feelings are body sensations we feel in our body and like you said, are neutral until they get charged. Emotions are the meaning or energy charge we assign to those feelings. You said it well.

Emotions can not be manipulated, since they are physiological signals, feelings are conscious and / or unconscious corporal reactions. There is no emotional intelligence only the intelligence of feeling.

@lalitjairath112 8 жыл бұрын

When feelings are at the level of intuition (soul), there is no role left for emotions (mind/brain) i.e. at the level of intuition mind is practically out of the equation. My comments are in reference to your example of intuition and emotions working together. Once you reach the stage of PURE intuition the mind has no power on it. PURE intuition transcends the mind. Intuition in this sense is immutable unlike mind that is always changing.

Nice video, and thanks for the perspective. I too have felt that feelings are different emotional response as emotions need cognition. I think feelings is either being happy or sad. The rest are all emotions. Fear is not feeling becuase you have called in cognition to explore what is going on. Intuition is not feeling either. Intutition is quickest form of feeling. We need them all, but we need time to feel only, which is not to question anything.

@SuzanneMichelleFox 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Shikha....If anyone can create one video to develop one's intuition, I would be impressed. We are all intuitive. Intuition is an innate sense within you. Just like you have eyes to see and ears to hear. You don't develop those senses, you just have them. Maybe you do not believe what you hear or believe what you see? The real question is: What are all the ways that I deny my intuition? How many excuses do I make in my mind to avoid my inner knowing? I hear you and I also believe in your intuition.

@arielguaqueta9780 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your effort very nice, however we need to make a distintion between brain and mind. The brain in the organ that processes the feeling. with out the brain we could not feel any thing since the pathway of the receptor is through a track that end up at specific nuclei in the brain. The brain does not produce thought, but is the receptor of the thought which originates from consciousness. Hope this is helpful for someone. Keep up the good work

@Competitive_Antagonist 6 жыл бұрын

3:35 So feelings are preconditions and emotions are post conscious? I don't believe in all this thoughts precede emotions crap as no one has ever presented any evidence to support this. I'd be interested in any, but so far I've found nothing. So you can't directly control what is preconscious, but you can have some affect on what is postcobscious. The way you respond to the stimuli. Accepting that it's not a threat and and attributing to it's correct source (like a malfunctioning limbic system) is a good start. It's also good to look at how your body reacts to the awareness of the "threat". Learn to loosen tense muscles and relax your vision. Also look at the trigger. Accept it as an irritant, but don't respond with anger as that increases tension. Realise that this is something to overcome, not something to react to. See it as a challenge, like trying to kill a boss in a computer game. I'm quite drunk right now so rambling a bit. Has given me something to think about.

@SuzanneMichelleFox 6 жыл бұрын

Hahahahah. Rambling helps get the thoughts out....that's great! Curiosity is fun. I won't wait for scientific evidence or proof to validate my experience. Everyone has their own experience and all experiences are valuable. If someone says there is one Truth and one Truth and says the only way to validate an experience is through Science, then we will have to wait a long time for healing to occur on the planet. I love to explore and I'm not here to come to a conclusion, because conclusions are traps that keep us stuck. Keep rocking!

This video is amazing so helpful so well explained in such a short amount of time. I can't believe it was posted so long ago I had to do a youtube search on the subject to find this because the algorithm keeps suggesting the same things. Do more like this to help people with their emotions. I heard this before and always knew there was a difference between feelings and emotions but I could never when I need to explain it to someone find the words, I always mix them up... and by the way in response to @chriscom28 you already did provide scientific evidence by referencing www.heartmath.org/ !

Hello Suzanne, do you think awareness is different from feelings, or maybe emotion and feelings are like two hand male/female within single awareness as individual identity.

@SuzanneMichelleFox 7 жыл бұрын

I wonder if awareness is simply the act of acknowledging a body sensation or emotion. The awareness piece senses if it was received or not? Hmmm, what do you think?

@Gelameable 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, I think at least what I call awareness, that I AM in dream or wake is the both _ sensation and emotion, perception and action, receptive and active. Awareness is that level of consciousness where sense data can be confirmed by an inner observer before mechanical reaction. Awareness knows by sensation and reacts by emotion, stronger it is wiser reaction and also it is that third force in between wherein emotion and sensation could harmonize to sense own emotion directly. For me awareness is astral body, 'Individual Identity' behind material manifestation _ half male half female:)

I had to think about that a second. I'm not looking through the same self critical eyes when I watch you, and I see heart all over the place. Also, being a guy, a woman's ego is not all that obvious to me. But given your confession, I guess I can see it in you, but I don't see it as excessive or detracting from your presentation. I worry more when the ego gets us in trouble, and that's when the ego seems most silly. The things an ego gets in trouble for are just not worth it.

how do we get in touch with our feelings?

@SuzanneMichelleFox 7 жыл бұрын

Are you able to sense the temperature on your skin? That would be one way you could get in touch with your body sensations (feelings). Are you able to allow yourself to feel sadness (emotions) when someone is hurt or are you able to feel joy (emotions) when someone gives you a compliment? From your question, it sounds like your adorable and loving self can begin by getting very basic and practice allowing yourself to tap into your basic 5 senses of touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound. Then, feel into the emotion each of those basic senses offers you, such as, for example, delight, disgust, pleasure, sadness, happiness. That's a start...go play and let yourself be awesome.
