The human nervous system is so delicate, it’s ridiculously easy for it to get wound up. Even mere thoughts will tie up the body in knots.
All of that has to come out at some point.
Meditating for 20 minutes will just get you even with all of the stress that was added into the body-mind.
Which is why I’m glad to hear whenever someone mentions they’re meditating longer than a few minutes. Their body can get past its deep healing phase.
The difference between this meditation and others is that this infinite-based stillness meditation creates coherence across brain hemispheres—which in turn rapidly induces the body to go into a healing state.
So it may not be comfortable for the first short bit while the stress is leaving.
In other words, you can’t add stress into the nervous system and expect that it will have no effect when leaving.
This is a process of being gentle and allowing the healing process.
Just as when you have the flu, you know that the high fever and achiness is the body’s process of healing—and that it passes.
Sit and stay through your allotted meditation time. No matter how much your brain is telling you otherwise, you’re not failing. You’re healing. Waiting for you on the other side is the stillness.
