Bliss on demand is a skill.

Jhanas are an escalating pleasure loop, the intensity of which is comparable — depending on whom you ask — to an orgasm, an MDMA-induced cuddle puddle, or the thrill of new love.
Nadia Asparouhova
Mindfulness is one thing. Jhāna meditation is stranger, stronger, and going mainstream.
Oshan Jarow
It strikes me that jhanas could be something of a cheat code for life, one that’s long gone unnoticed in our culture.
Claudia Canavan
The mainstreaming of the jhanas may represent the next frontier of the mindfulness movement...as with falling in love, ordinary speech doesn’t seem to do them justice.
Naina Bajekal
Jhana bliss...is not like the little uptick in well-being that comes with mindfulness meditation. It is not like a runner’s high. 'This stuff is really powerful,' says the director of the Meditation Research Program at Harvard Medical School... tears of joy will sometimes stream down a meditator’s face.

Jhanas are a teachable superpower
The Jhanas are meditation states that bring extraordinary pleasure, like the opposite of a panic attack. Having openhearted joy on tap makes it easier to be the person you aspire to be.
Our teaching philosophy
Meditation can change your life quickly
Meditation can be so much more than stress reduction. Jhana states show that profound, life-changing altered states are accessible. Modern research validates their existence, and better teaching methods can lead to 10x powerful experiences in hours, not years.
Experimentation, not dogma
Meditation is a skill that's learnable. We aim to provide you with first-principles and context you need to run your own experiments. We're inspired by various meditation traditions, EEG research, and positive psychology. We don't teach a religion, and we want these practices to fit into your life.
Come for altered states, stay for personal growth
Our alumni are awesome - there are few communities of people that care as deeply about meditation depth, wellbeing, and chasing dreams. We think the real prize is when altered states begin to alter traits: having bliss and peace on demand often leads to more altruism and less fear.

Probably one of the nicest things that's ever happened to me, like up there with beautiful events like marriage.

To know there’s this infinite resource within me that’s accessible without external conditions…it’s just crazy. You can’t unsee that.

This experience was the best thing that’s happened to me this year. I had no idea how enjoyable meditation could be.

Why would I have a second piece of chocolate cake when I know I can beat that by 100x in 10 minutes with my eyes closed?
Nick Cammarata

The jhanas may be the single most important thing on the planet right now. You may think it’s superintelligence or longevity. That’s nothing without wellbeing.
