how should emotion and rationale correlate to worship?
Both are on opposite ends of a fulcrum, yet both are facets of worship. Rationally our belief in God must make sense to not only ourselves but others as well. at the same time man is not only physical but spiritual as well. Jesus is One that can be interacted with spiritually, and we need to ensure that our heart and soul is indicative of the inter-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
what are the dangers of excess of the spiritual facet of this worship fulcrum?
over spiritualizing can provide a cloak of ambiguity for the deceitful to claim divine presence or interaction without verification being discerned, and potentially a fertile seedbed of disbelief for those who doubt it.
as leaders in the congregation, how can we best avoid the excesses?
cultivation of both, not one discounted before the other.

over rationalizing will produce an assumption that the mind of God, and the mystery of God is something that can be comprehended by the mind of man.
