Complete/short term

Hi

From a book about meditation:

The Buddhist student named in the report came to him with OCD as a problem and wanted to know if Buddhist meditation could help him. After some months of meditation and herbs, the student reported a complete healing taking place that after some time more became complete. Short term, meditation can also help you overcome negative emotions.

--- Does the word "complete" repeated twice make sense?-

--- Shouldn't it be "in the short term"?

But if you really want to get into the meat of what meditation can do for you then you have to make it as useable as breathing is to you. When you make a routine you want to change what must be changed in life to provide ample time for your meditation. As in any good change in life, there is a certain amount of sacrifice involved.

--- Is the highlighted sentence clear to you because it's not quite clear to me?
