Your thoughts as they are highlighted or filtered by your experiances combine with your hard-wired tendency to think about some situation or event in a certain way. This triggers your emotions. An example is someone who grew up in poverty having more empathy for poor people than people having never known the experiance. Oprah bought cars for a bunch of struggling single mothers. Donald Trump is not one to feel anything for the poor except maybe disgust. Even though they are both basically genetically similar and thus their hard wired tendencies are to express emotions similarily, they react differnetly to situations. This conditioned thinking assists or dampens their tendency for, in this case, empathy. As I am sure you agree that empathy is an emotion but felt as an imagined emotion to someone else's condition, then it is your left brain anayltical hemi-sphere that imagines or analyzes an emotion. When you are then feeling the emotion even if it originated in the left hemisphere it then gets activated by the more reactive right side of the brain. At this point when the emotion starts to control your systems it becomes more although not exclusively physiological. Meaning that your body begins to change in response to the reptilian primevil part of your brain. Your heart rate and blood pressure increases or lowers, along with a plethora of other factors. Then, if escalated, your emotions are reinforced and recycled which can kick into the "fight or flee" response. At that point you are largely out of the control room, operating on pure instinct. So based upon these realizations, your mind imagines the emotion first quickly, then your physical and mental responses together "feel" the emotion. That is why emotions are so powerful, and why you should always pay heed to and seek mastery over them.

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very
real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and
one that feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional
Intelligence, Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996,
page 8). This rational mind is also called the
faculty of logic and reason.
The Upanishads say that these two are opposite in
nature. Modern psychologist also have observed it,
but they are not very sure about it:
"At the same time, reason sometimes clearly seems
to come into conflict with some desires (even
while not being in conflict with others) giving us
the impression that reason is separate from
emotion".

Our mind, which is the collective active consciousness, our thoughts at any given moment. Our mind is basically like a constructed persona, it's the output of all our brain's thinking.
If you relate the brain to a computer in an analogy, you could think of our mind/conscious as the computer screen monitor, which is the end result and presentation of all of the computer's hard drive and massive processing power. Emotion is what is displayed on our active consciousness, our computer monitors.

For what ever biological reason we have emotions, they are tied directly to our metaphysics. We comprehend the universe only in terms of metaphysics--science, medicine, law--is all based on metaphysical comprehension.
When something in the universe touches something in our metaphysical value system, emotions tell us what we feel about that interaction. Things like a loved one's death, a wedding, a birth, a car accident that ruins our only transportation or affects our health--all have metaphysical bases. Emotions are the mind's connection, metaphysically, with a world that is physical and bears consequences.

The hypothalamus gives emotion the imagination, which are stored memories. The amygdala in your diencephalon gives it the feeling.
