I think a good way to think about emotions and feelings is by strictly separating them conceptually: Feelings are bodily effects like fear, anger, hunger, arousal... while emotions are learned acts of communication. Emotions are interpretations of feelings and Emotions are communicated feelings, arranged in complex patterns or "scripts" that are culturally highly variable. So you could say that all emotions (outward, visible acts of communication) are based on more "invisible" feelings. Take mourning for example. The feelings are a mixture of fear, but how you mourn is extremely variable over cultures, times and even intrapersonally. Emotions have to be learned, feelings are the raw material or puzzle pieces the body/mind offers from birth.
