When I first installed spacemacs it prompted me into deciding which mode I want it to be configured. I chose vim since I was already comfortable with it. But now I want to learn more about emacs shortcuts and keybindings. So I would like to get back to the emacs mode in spacemacs. How can I reconfigure my settings ?

Spacemacs is an open source editor that combines Emacs and Vim into a single editor. Effectively, Spacemacs is the best of both worlds to me. You can fly around code like Vim and drop into Emacs keybindings at the touch of a button.
Productivity and Editing SpeedFile editing is usually faster with Vim than with Emacs because of Vim's purposely speed-driven interface. For example, cursor movement can be controlled through the H, J, K, and L keys in the normal mode.
Emacs tends to be relatively straightforward, similar to commonly used text editors like Notepad. On the other hand, Vim is a power-user's tool, using keyboard shortcuts to speed up tasks. Vim is known to have a much steeper learning curve than Emacs.
Spacemacs is a beginner-friendly and powerful extension of a popular text editor called Emacs. To install Spacemacs you need to first install base Emacs and then download the Spacemacs extension files, which is most easily done by using a program called Git.
If you just want to toggle between emacs and vim mode, you can just use CTRL z. It works in both modes.

in the configuration file, presumably ~/.spacemacs, alter the row
dotspacemacs-editing-style 'vim
to
dotspacemacs-editing-style 'emacs
