Hi I want to meditate all night long

[Mansi108]

I have been trying to meditate all night long for the past 1 year. Everytime I couldn't succeed. But by now I have practiced a lot and I have had enough. I need to promise myself that I will do it no matter what. This I am writing for myself and for God that I'll do it today even if I have to die for it!

Welcome to the community Mansi

After years trying different ways to meditate I found "Discover Meditation" which you can download from the top left of the community and it's free.

Using the mantra technique while listening to LifeFlow enabled me to enter into the quiet place that is within each of us. Just a little time each day can make such an amazing difference to the quality of your whole life. It certainly has to mine.

Look forward to hearing how you progress and wish you much peace and joy

Hi Mansi and welcome to the Project Meditation community,

May I ask why you feel such a need to meditate all night long, even to the point you would be willing to die to achieve that?

The benefits of meditation don't come from being in a meditative state, but from how meditation effects your awareness and presence when not meditating. Depriving yourself of sleep, or tyring to meditate for such prolonged periods will offer no additional benefit to doing a couple of 20 minutes meditations a day.

It sounds as though the mind's ego has taken hold and is telling you that you will somehow be 'better' if you can meditate for a prolonged period... my advice... don't listen to it.
