You now can accomplish more in less time. Own it. Don’t oppose your newfound abilities.

Just as there’s something called oversleeping or sleeping too much, there is such a thing as over-meditating, where all the effects of meditation backfire if you cross a certain threshold. In this case, you can expect more harm than good from a thought-streaming meditation session. You will emerge with far greater problems from the meditation session compared to before you started it. Not only will you not get the expected positive benefits of the session, you will start getting negative effects just because you meditated for too long today.

I want you to imagine doing nothing for an entire month. What effect could that have on you. This is exactly what happens when you meditate for too long, or when you go for too long thought-streaming meditation sessions.

That is a problem because most of you think that you need to start small at first, and then keep increasing the duration of the session gradually until you reach the big numbers one day. You know, hitting an hour or two of meditation daily, for example.

It is the exact opposite, because as you know from my earlier work, I only recommend thought streaming meditation. Anything else is contraindicated, should be avoided, and should never be practiced under any circumstances. Any other type of meditation or anything else that you can call meditation or can ever be categorized or described as some form of meditation or meditative practice or technique, is very harmful for you, unless proved otherwise, and should be avoided to the best of your ability.

It is the exact opposite, because as you practice thought streaming meditation longer, you will find it harder to sustain the session, because when your processing speed increases, you will need less time to process everything and clear the information overload. You will need less time to get all the benefits of the meditation session, because now, you can do everything that can take place during the session, significantly faster, or in less time than you used to, when you were still starting out. The session will end up getting harder to finish, the longer it becomes, because there’s nothing else for you to do in it at the moment. You will then be like you’re in chains despite having all the energy in the world. Further proceeding through the session in this case will be crushing for your spirit, because it holding you back from experiencing life to the fullest. You will be trapped, because you no longer need to meditate at the moment, until the session is over.

If you’re unaware of this fact, you might find yourself gradually increasing the duration of each subsequent session in the hopes of getting the full benefits of meditation you used to easily get in the past just by sitting there doing nothing. But longer is not always better, at least not when it comes to thought streaming meditation, which can also take place in a typical pure resting session unintentionally. You will find that it is sometimes inevitable for you to get through an entire resting session without ever engaging hard in thought streaming along the way. Nothing wrong about that. Nevertheless, it will definitely take from your ability to go for pure or combined primarily thought streaming meditation sessions later on for the time being. Again, because now, you need to meditate less. You can end up being hopeless about ever getting the full benefits of meditation again. But there is hope. You still can. You only need to decrease the duration of the meditation session. This my friend, is the ultimate example of less sometimes being more, at least in terms of quality and expected benefits.
