It all starts with a breath.
Follow it inward and the whole world falls away — silence, stillness, pure awareness.
Jhana8 is the full path — from your first breath to the deepest states of Jhana and beyond.
No dogma. No robes. Just the direct experience of what’s real.
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 Scond 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 some Abhinnas. There are 6 of them.

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.
