Each person must find their own correct balance between observing emotions and concentrating. If you experience very strong unpleasant emotions you can go back to concentrating until you feel relaxed again.
Instead of pushing away unpleasant thoughts and emotions, relax, open yourself to them, observe them, allow yourself to feel the emotional pain, and notice the feelings in your body associated with them. If you notice an unpleasant thought or emotion during meditation, it is important not to push it away, otherwise you may develop the habit of repressing thoughts and feelings by your practice of meditation. You focus your attention in one of these ways, and when you notice your mind wandering, you bring it back to the focus of attention. One common type of meditation is to sit quietly and concentrate on one thing such as a pleasant feeling of relaxation, or on various sensations in your body, or by repeating a mantra possibly in rhythm with your breath.
There are many different types of meditation used for many different purposes.
