Most people breathe when they meditate. Few ever learn how to master it. Jhana8 gives you a path from your very first breath to the deepest levels of Jhana — real mental absorption, real transformation. You’ll train focus until it’s effortless, awareness until it’s unshakable, and dive straight into the silence most people only read about.
Start where you are — beginner or battle-tested — and jump in with both feet.

🧘 Jhana Info
Jhana is a progression of eight deep states of meditative absorption that unfold after the mind locks effortlessly onto a single sensory object—usually the breath—in perfect concentration. The First Jhana and Second hold traces of emotion, but the higher Jhanas move into pure non-dual awareness—no self, no sensation, no thought, or ambition of any kind. Each Jhana has its own flavor of experience and is temporary.

👁️ Abhinna Info
Abhinnas are ‘supernatural powers,’ like special insight into realms that we as humans don’t typically experience. After the Fourth Jhana some people have 1 or more of the 6 Abhinnas.

✨ Non-Duality Info
A Non-Dual State is where you don’t feel an ego, a body, emotion/feelings, or any suffering. It can last for seconds or much longer.
