Since Emunah is the foundation of existence it would stand to reason that it is constantly present. It is inconceivable to think that it is only in evidence on the rare occasions that one feels completely empty. Even more so, it makes no sense to say that when a person is feeling a closeness to Hashem that he cannot experience Emunah as he has a heart and mind connection.
However, you need to understand that a person has the ability to rise above the cognizance of his heart and mind, beyond his intellect and emotion, to come before Hashem with the pure point of Emunah. People are often wowed by the amazing fire of love and connection to God that they sense when they are in the vicinity of a Tzaddik. But that is merely icing on the cake of the revelation of Hashem that is in the heart of the Tzaddik. The small still voice. The inner spark which is only Emunah
