More meditation is not necessarily better. Meditation taps into some very powerful inner energies. These energies are very healing and uplifting, but it takes some time to acclimate to their higher frequency, and is best done gradually. If this initial detoxification is accomplished gently, you are more likely to continue the practice of meditation. Generally the experiences when one begins to meditate are quite enjoyable.
People often report feeling more peaceful, positive, loving and centered in daily life.
Many experience new insights and greater clarity. When you think that your designated time is up, open one eye and peek at the clock. This won't bring you all the way out of meditation. If there is still time left, close your eye and continue. You can also set a watch alarm or musical alarm, or place a wind-up kitchen timer under a pillow.
