Difference between awareness, presence and consciousness.

What's the difference between awareness, presence and consciousness. 

Also focus, concentration, etc. 

What's the difference between feelings and emotions?

Awareness is being present, in our language it can also be used in different ways depending on context , for example you just found out something new that you wasn’t aware of before and now you are aware of it. 

Focus is the ability to hold attention on something 

Emotions , energy in motion, your internal response and confirmation system to what beliefs you hold.

Feelings , it’s a result of set of ideas we have about something , change the ideas, what you think, the feelings will change

As to consciousness , do you mean from spiritual point of view ? Depends in what context you use the word it may mean slightly different things. For example you can be conscious meaning just awake, aware and responsive.

Thanks @Evelyna,  Is the concept of "consciousness" different in philosophical context and practical context?

I guess it is different in both.

Yep, on a funny note someone could punch you hard enough for you to become unconscious 😂

I am not talking in medical context. 

I guess : there is one "consciousness" which is the most fundamental stuff in the universe. More fundamental than matter/energy/atoms. 

And then there is a different meaning of "consciousness", which refers to the level of spiritual or philosophical development of the mind.

Difference between awareness, presence and consciousness + focus, concentration + feelings and emotions

You practice presence being mindful. You gain awareness by understanding context. Consciousness is, and spiritual culmination.

Focus and concentration refer to attention. Focus is the specificity and selection aspect and concentration refers to intensity.

Feelings are more versatile and include all kinds of sensations and intuitions, while emotions focus on heartfelt reactions.
