It doesn't sound like you did it wrong. It sounds like you practiced something more on the concentration[shamata] side of the spectrum and that you became rather adept at it.

There's a whole other vipassana side of the spectrum focused on insight. The way it's been described to me is that the concentration side, while having its own merits, is often used to support the insight work, rather than necessarily being a goal on its own.
