Kama muta

Kama muta is a funny sounding word that describes a feeling of warmth and connection that we can have towards other people or things. It’s like when you snuggle up with your favorite teddy bear, or when you see a really cute puppy and your heart feels all warm and fuzzy.

When we experience kama muta, we feel uplifted and connected to the world around us. It’s a feeling of love and affection that comes from seeing something beautiful or being close to someone we care about.

Kama muta is different from other emotions because it’s not focused on ourselves, like being happy or sad. Instead, it’s all about the loving connections we have with other people, animals or things.

It’s a really nice feeling to have and it can happen in all sorts of different situations, like when you see a beautiful sunset, when you hear a moving song, or when you hug someone you love. So, next time you feel a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, that’s kama muta!
