What if jhanas, the deep absorption states traditionally taught over years, were reachable in a weekend? π§
@jhanatech is bringing two days of meditation to @EdgeEsmeralda 2026: a workshop on June 6 and a full-day retreat on June 13.
Full breakdown β

3 months after my @jhanatech retreat, honest check-in on what changed:
- my baseline happiness substantially higher
- meditation feels like coming home, not a chore
- the urge to prove myself got quieter
- anxiety feels less like an enemy, more like a friend
Full reflection π

what your body is probably craving is the deep feeling of relaxation & safety that comes from not having to fight against life anymore
the trick is that you can cultivate this feeling in (almost) any conditions

Focusing on a neutral object (like the breath) during meditation can lead to boredom or tension if you clench down on it.
What's more effective is finding a pleasurable aspect of your experience and relaxing into that.

The loop of a panic attack looks like: something triggers panic, this generates physical reactions in the body (e.g. hyperventilation), your interoception picks up on these signals and devotes even more attention to them, and the panic amplifies.
But did you know you can use this same loop but in the opposite direction to amplify positive experiences like bliss or gratitude?
We talk about this in our latest video: youtu.be/NmrgPEzvN_o

New video: the opposite of a panic attack, how to find it, and why "bliss on demand" turns out to be the least interesting part of the story. With a short guided experience for you to test yourself: youtu.be/NmrgPEzvN_o

We've put 1,200 people through 40 meditation retreats over the last 7 years. Overachievers, total skeptics, people who'd been meditating for decades.
Many got stuck on the same thing, for the same reason. And the fastest learners were not the ones who tried hardest.
Here's a new video on what we found:

Four years ago, Pavel was in the hospital from an incurable, life-threatening condition. When it seemed like the end was near, he had an experience of total surrender. He stopped resisting the pain, or worrying about things outside of his control.
What followed was some of the happiest weeks of his life filled with euphoria and gratitude.
Miraculously, he lived. But for years after he tried to understand and reproduce that experience without much success β until he found Jhourney. On his online retreat, he was able to systematically enter the jhanas and noticed it was just like his time in the hospital.
He gained the ability to enter states of profound peace and love at will, and bring those benefits into his daily life and relationships. He's now interested in how jhanas and emotional well-being can help with chronic illness.

One of my fellow Jhourney retreatants said that the only bad thing about how amazing his experience was, was the grief of having spent 25 years meditating without trying it this way.

If you're trying to make super wellbeing accessible at scale, I think there are a limited number of "shots on goal":
- genetic engineering
- neurotech
- custom psychedelics
- making the world's wisdom traditions more reliable, accessible, and appealing
Most techno-optimists would name the first three if asked. I think the fourth is the most tractable and most overlooked.

One interpretation of the @jhanatech instructions is that the took all the corrective guidance meditation teachers usually give when students crash out mid-retreat (relax, find some joy, move with curiosity) and just made those the instructions from the beginning.

We'll be announcing more online retreats in the coming months, but wanted to share the in-person dates first so people can plan ahead.
We're also considering an in-person EU retreat this year, but are still working out a venue. Will share updates as we have them.
