Nut this isn't what MMY says, anyway. Meditating more is for people who DON'T 
have 
problems and want to race towards enlightenment, or promote world peace,or 
both. 

The only "meditating more" advice for people with problems is to do an 
occassional 
weekend retreat to recharge one's batteries so to speak. MMY's model for 
gaining 
enlightenment is rest AND activity, not just rest.
