@RogerThisdell - Visualisations of the Jhanas The Jhanas are a series of (8)

Visualisations of the Jhanas The Jhanas are a series of (8) highly concentrated altered states, most notably induced through advanced meditation practice and are a source of profound delight and insight. The Jhanas are commonly listed as: 1. Rapture - characterised by pīti (described as pleasurable body sensations) 2. Extreme Happiness - characterised by sukha (emotional joy) 3. Deep Peacefulness 4. Utter Equanimity 5. Boundless Space 6. Boundless Consciousness 7. Nothingness 8. Neither Perception Nor Non-perception If you’re wanting to deepen your access into Jhana, I’m currently doing a series of guided meditations, where we’re combining Fire Kasina practice to bolster Jhana, with surprising effects! 🕯️👀 This is available on my Patreon /rogerthis, and where you can join my weekly, online, meditation group. (check bio link) Tremendous gratitude to my brother, Bill Thisdell, for helping me realise these animations.🙏 We worked very closely and diligently together to create these visual portrayals of the Jhana states, and it’s much due to his amazing skills - he’s the real artist behind the scenes!
