to me, emotions are like a sort of bridge between the mind, thoughts, and the body. kinda hard to put in words. thoughts and emotions seem to chase each other all the time, thoughts followed by emotions and reversed. easy to get caught in circles, not so easy to step out of these circles. anyway, with the body one can sense and experience these emotions.

gregg braden talks a lot about the importance of emotions in prayer.
(google gregg braden movies and you'll see a lot of talks, interviews)

maybe therefore in these times, there is so much emo-smog created by tv and commercials etc. we need more and more to still get a kick, and the more subtle emotions are left unnoticed.

maybe this contamination, likely created on purpose, shows the importance of paying attention to emotions, so we can use them as a tool?

thanks for the question, looking forward to others responses too.
