What's the purpose of meditation?

[Cainite]

I just feel general anxiety.

And meditation's supposed to help with this?

I've read in several sources that it's common that negative emotions may arise in meditation ... I haven't experienced this side of meditation. I meditate only 5-10 minutes for now.

I think these energies begin to surface so we can do the balancing. this should be expected of meditation.


I've heard that dark thoughts/emotions arise when someone spends time by himself. seems to be true.
