Meditation: Cultivating the First Jhana

28 minutes | The jhanas are deep concentrated states that are pleasant to engage in. They are like flow states for meditation. The first part of the meditation cultivates a deepened focus and the second part guides into a light jhana state. There are generally four jhana stages. The first jhana is one of great pleasantness in the body, often called rapture. These states, when practiced, can lead to a greater sense of well-being.
