Attaining A Jhana Live: How Anyone Can Achieve Super Wellbeing

In this episode of the podcast, Dan Shipper interviews Stephen Zerfas, the founder of Jhourney, a company focused on making life-changing meditation accessible, particularly through states known as Jhanas. Stephen guides listeners through a live meditation, narrating his internal experience to demonstrate the practice. The discussion explores the concept of optimizing one's nervous system, achieving subconscious alignment, and the importance of feedback loops in meditation. They delve into the challenges and pitfalls of meditation, including navigating emotional overwhelm and avoiding the misuse of Jhanas as an escape from difficult life decisions. The conversation also touches on how AI can be used to personalize and enhance meditation practices, potentially creating a "Math Academy" for Jhanas, and Stephen shares how the practice has influenced his relationships, habits, and decision-making.
