Arupajhana: Formless Meditation

There are two main categories of Buddhist meditations: those that soothe or calm the mind (Samatha) and Vipassana. Rupajhana is a four-level Samatha meditation on form and involves letting go of familiar feelings. Arupajhana are the next four levels deeper and involve meditations on the formless - i.e. space, consciousness, and complete emptiness. This is a deep and profoundly rejuvenating practice that takes you on a journey from physical reality to an absence of physical reality, and back.

Lovely little jhana sampler! Most Buddhist traditions would spend months just getting to the first jhana. The process is slow and powerful. But there’s much to be said for this approach, as long as we recognize we’re mostly just imagining these states, rather than experiencing them

I was pleasantly surprised to experience something of all the jhana's in such a short time. Thank you.

Loved it. Thank you ❤️🙏

✨Thank you so kindly for that ❤🌠
Namaste 🙏🏼 🌸 🌿 🌺 💫🌸

Thank you for the guidance, I shall hold these states in mind for future meditations and found it a helpful way to reach that state beyond presence. Namaste x
