Excerpt from

Feelings
and Emotions

What underlies the ability to go from deep and profound states of connection to states bound by our emotions that separate us from our core and our hearts? How is it that we can vacillate so much and to such extremes? How is it that the same situation can result in one person laughing and another person going into rage? And why is it we tend to cling to states that are not good for us when there are better ways of being?

This chapter addresses why we shift between feelings, emotions and emotional states. This is a significant chapter that establishes how we relate to the world with our hearts. It lays the foundation for the rest of the book. I recommend that you contemplate it until it feels familiar to you. . .
