Definitions:What are Feelings?
You can't touch feelings, they touch you. They feel like they come from everywhere inside. Sometimes feelings can be hard to deal with, they are mostly made hard when we don't understand them.When we know which one we are feeling and let ourselves feel it things get better. Our mind is happy because we understand ourselves. Sometimes people try to run away from their feelings, this is not a good thing because the feelings need to come out. Letting feelings out is like breathing out, eventually you have to do it.
Why do we have feelings?
Feelings are there to help us understand things. The messages they sendare not always easy to understand. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to workout what they are trying to say, but when you understand what they are sayingthey often turn into emotions.
Here are some Emotions:Anger is when you feel like a tiger in a fight.Fear is when you are afraid, like walking alone in a forest at night.Sadness is when you feel down- sometimes it can feel like a stomach ache.Happiness is when you feel joy, most people smile a lot and have bright eyes.
Compassion is when your feelings tell you to help someone else.Love is when you feel happiness and compassion at the same time.
Jealousy is when you want something that someone else seems to be getting.Guilt is when you feel bad about something you have done or said.
What is the difference between Feelings and Emotions?
Feelings are what make emotionsWhat is the difference between Brain and Mind?Your Mind is what your Brain does when it is turned onCan what we eat can make us feel differently?Our brains are mysterious machines, they are like a muscle but instead of beingable to move things they make thoughts. Things we eat sometimes changethe chemicals in our brain and make us feel and think different.
Feelings are not good or bad, they are just another way our mind talks to us
Here are some emotions that feel good
Happiness
Love
Compassion
Here are some that can be hard to experience
Sadness
Anger
Guilt
Jealousy
Should I try to not to feel ones that hurt?
No the more you try to cover them up the more they try to come out. You are better off making friendswith the hurtful ones, allow yourself ot feel them for a while then they will go away.
What does Attachment mean?
When you really like something or someone and you are upset when it goes away. It could be a toy, a personor just about anything. If you get too attached to something and it goes away the hard feelingsmay come. But when when they come let yourself feel them, then they will go away sooner.When you really miss someone sometimes you have to suffer. It is your minds way of telling youhow important someone is to you.

If you run away from your feelings they can get stuck in parts of your body.This is why even if they are painful you should allow yourself to touch them.

Don't pay too much attention to the Voice inside your head-sometimes it makes upstories that are not true
Living in the Now:
Each moment is preciousSome people chose to spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrowothers people spend a lot of their time thinking about yesterday.But the happiest people live in the present moment. They delight in the good things happening now.They make the most out of their lives by chosing to live in the now.
BE DO HAVE?Most people believe if they "have" a thing (more time, money, love -- whatever), then they can finally "do" a thing (write a book, take up a hobby, go on vacation, buy a home, undertake a relationship), which will allow them to "be" a thing (happy, peaceful, content, or in love). In actuality, they are reversing the Be-Do-Have paradigm. In the universe it is really is "beingness" that produces"havingness"
First you "be" the thing you want to be.
Example be "happy" (or "knowing," or "wise," or "compassionate," or whatever), then you start "doing" things from this place of beingness -- and soon you discover that what you are doing winds up bringing you the things you've always wanted to "have."
The way to set this creative process (and that's what this is...the process of creation) into motion is to look at what it is you want to "have," ask yourself what you think you would "be" if you "had" that, then go right straight to being!
