Emotions play a vital role in human life and without them the human being is nothing but dead. But at the same time excess emotions and actions accompanying those emotions can create havoc in life. However, some of these basic natural emotions are suppressed most of the time for various reasons. We suppress our emotions of joy, love, anger, tearful, lust, fear, etc. sometimes to hide our embarrassments in front of people or sometimes to stay within the norms of the society or sometimes suppress it because we were taught or believe that these emotions should not be expressed. This is absolutely fine unless these would not cause trouble for you. And the news is that they do cause trouble if they are not expressed more often. It might be difficult to know this and suppress it all the time since it might not be possible everywhere and all the time. So best would be to release these pent up emotions for your well being during meditation. Many meditate or learn meditation to help release these emotions. Whether one likes it or not, one will find a lot of emotions surfacing up during meditation. Many get irritated with these, many try to suppress it further or get worried and most quit meditation. It is important to note that it is normal and natural for emotions to surface while meditating. Never suppress them or drive them away. In fact, since you are obviously going to be alone while meditating and undistracted, this is the best time for you to release the pent up emotions in the best way you can. Those thoughts that surface up are not distraction but actually your own emotions trying to find a way out. So release them. You may laugh it out, cry it out, fret it out, shout it out or express it in whichever way your soul is longing to do at that moment. This might look odd for those who have the habit of suppressing and hiding everything but then they will be surprised to see how they feel after they have released it. Many people new to meditation will find these thoughts and emotions annoying but knowing that they do not want to do anything to you but leave you will help you treat them with calmness. It is important not to react to them adversely or in a negative way for if done so, they spoil the very purpose of meditation. Reacting to them results in being caught in a web of thoughts that slowly becomes so overwhelming that one has to give up sitting there with closed eyes and shrunken forehead. Rather what can be done is allow these thoughts and emotions to come up and go with the flow required in those moments. When meditation is practiced in this manner, one will notice that the thoughts and emotions eventually go on decreasing thus improving your quality of meditation and also releasing a lot of unwanted stuff causing congestion in your mind, body and soul.

For Balance emotions meditation is very useful and also meditation is also useful for many mental and physical disorders.
