How can balance of emotions be achieved in life?

Answer 1

Emotional Balance can only be achieved by being aware of your feelings and honestly expressing them.

Mental Balance also requires one to know and control one's thoughts and by honestly expressing them.

There is no one path for all humans. Your path is your personal Way. You might get pointers from the great masters who have lived on the surface of the planet from time to time, but the task of Balance in Your Life is your lifelong challenge. You must learn how to do what you need to get done. No one else can tell you how to achieve this.

Answer 2

The Buddha taught that the Middle Way or Noble Eightfold Path is the means to ending suffering for peace of mind and happiness.

From the Buddhist perspective, the Middle/Balanced Way approach begins by understanding/learning the Four Noble Truths & the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism:

The Buddha's way to Presence was through the problem of suffering.

What is suffering, he asked. How does it arise?
Can it be ended? How do we end it? When other spiritual teachers and philosophers asked
The Buddha to describe his teaching - he answered: "I teach one thing and one thing only -
Suffering and the End of Suffering."

The Buddha formulated in his first teaching
the Four Noble Truths: suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation(end) of suffering, and
the Path to cessation. The Four Noble Truths
of Lord Buddha are in fact based on a simple
problem-solving model:

What is the problem?

What is the root of the problem?

Is there a solution?

How do you put the solution into effect?


As you may already know, the Middle Way or The Noble Eightfold Path is the Solution and it in itself teaches How to put the Solution into
effect.

Suffering takes place from emotional reactivity.
Is it possible to disengage from reactivity?
Yes. Reactive patterns within humanity have been in place for a long time. To dismantle these patterns we must take apart our lives. Attention works to dismantle patterns the way the energy
of the sun melts ice. The direct energy of attention dissolves the structure of unwholesome patterns, releasing the energy locked in them. We experience the freed energy as awareness and presence.

To Cultivate and apply Attention, we travel the Eightfold Path: Skillful Speech, Skillful Action,
Skillful Livelihood, Skillful Effort, Skillful Mindfulness, Skillful Attention, Skillful View and Skillful Cognition. The Best means to cultivate Attention is through mindfulness meditation: as we daily walk the Noble Eightfold Path with wisdom and compassion.

Respectfully, reading "Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness" by: Bhante Henepola Gunaratana AND reading "Wake Up to your Life: The Buddhist Path of Attention" by: Ken McLeod may be quite encouraging toward your experience of living in the here and now-with mindfulness and presence to acquire emotional balance, peace and happiness.

Also you may wish to consistently practice Mindfulness Meditation on a daily basis - for doing so greatly helps one to achieve emotional balance and peace in life:

Answer 3

When you've found Peace within your soul.

Free of pain, doubt, guilt, shame, hate, and .... religion.

You don't need to be religious to be grounded; in fact, to be religious is to follow sets of rules and laws set out by people as supposedly dictated by god.

Don't set yourself up for failure cause that's what all the religions do. Heah, ever thought why religious people are always going to those buildings to 'pray' ask 'forgiveness' etc?....

... because they haven't found Peace within their soul....
