A simple and short guide designed for every lay person interested in exploring the practice of jhanas in the comfort of their own home.

While jhanas remain mysterious, their terminology used in ancient scriptures may seem elusive to modern individuals like us. Yet, the essence of jhanas is universal, accessible to anyone with the right technique, despite their ancient origins.

Although the discovery of jhana may belong to ancient times, the pursuit of inner happiness is timeless. Even if we’re not part of any spiritual or religious journey, experiencing jhanas is in itself so rewarding, offering the most blissful moments in one’s life. Just as falling deeply in love transcends religious boundaries, so do jhanas. We may never fully grasp what we’re missing until we give them a try.

This guide is entirely practical, with no intention to investigate into the history or commentary of jhanas. It offers specific instructions, avoiding vagueness in each step. Including preliminary steps such as finding a comfortable body position, establishing a breathing rhythm pattern for access concentration, and paying attention to each detail of the stages prior to reaching jhanas is crucial. This ensures that we stay on track from the start of our practice, avoiding getting lost or losing motivation.

Observing signs of progress, such as body vibrations, from the initial attempt and creating a roadmap facilitate navigation into the realm of jhanas. While their subjective experience remains mystical and words may fall short in capturing their overwhelming ecstasy, this guide provides simple language to make jhanas accessible to lay persons.
