Understanding Feelings And Emotions
Love or happiness are not emotions actually, they are natural states of the self or soul. They exist and emerge naturally from the human heart when the heart is free, clean and clear i.e. when it is not attached to anyone or anything. Love takes many forms, from caring to comforting, from sympathy to compassion (mercy), from acceptance to appreciation. As does happiness, whose deepest form is contentment (satisfaction). The ability to express and feel these forms of love and happiness is reduced by any emotional disturbance inside our minds. Unfortunately we are somewhat confused as once again we have been taught to think that sadness (an emotional disturbance) is a form of love, excitement (an emotional disturbance) is a form of happiness, worry (an emotional disturbance) is a form of care and fear (an emotional disturbance) is a form of respect. The process of understanding ‘the what’ and ‘the why’ of our feelings and emotions requires time spent in practices such as meditation and self-reflection.
