Derived termsSynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are subjective experiences, often associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latin emovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'. The related term "motivation" is also derived from movere. No definitive taxonomy of emotions exists, though numerous taxonomies have been proposed. Some categorizations include:
A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviors and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. Yet again, if one can have the emotion without the corresponding behavior then we may consider the behavior not to be essential to the emotion. The James-Lange theory posits that emotional experience is largely due to the experience of bodily changes. The functionalist approach to emotions (e.g. Nico Frijda) holds that emotions have evolved for a particular function, such as to keep the subject safe. From Wikipedia under the

Can you use emotion as a way of knowing that what you hear is indeed true, will it be knowledge or just a belief, and why? Please help! Asked by creamysodarevenge - Tue May 5 08:12:26 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I like what psychic John Greene has to say about psychic experience. "If you start thinking about it, you're doing it wrong. But if you FEEL it, you're getting somewhere." Well, first off, fortune tellers and psychics may not be the same thing. When having a reading from a psychic, they may validate some things about you, or some things in your past. This is a good sign. If you find that they are right on target with things in your past or current situation, you will probably feel more comfortable with their future predictions.

Learn the practice of mindfulness meditation, as others have suggested, you want to observe the emotion, and direct your focus of awareness in the moment. If you feel anger arise, you first notice it, you then accept it, respect the emotion, respect your body for telling you, even though it might be responding inappropriately, take it as it is, don't succumb to the emotion, simply be aware of it, and then gently reorient your awareness to the task at hand, or to what you want to say or do. You may simply want to observe your breath, as it is the timeless background that you carry with you always, and can be extremely liberating to be aware of one thing, without being driven by whatever impulse seems to hit you in the moment.
