How to enter 1st Jhana?

Hi,

I'm curious if there are any serious Jhana practitioners in this subreddit.

I've been feeling a calling towards exploring Jhana lately ...

would love to know what's worked for people and specific instructions

Is Vipassana actually purifying sankharas?

Has anyone else noticed that once you stop practicing for 1-2 days - the old negative thoughts and feelings start coming back?

Made me wonder whether Vipassana is sort of acting as a lid rather than processing anything at a root level ... which is the entire claim.

Vipassana and eye contact

does anyone notice strangers flinching/reacting to eye contact after a Vipassana session?

like your gaze is too intense for them lol

seen some crazy reactions

then i look at myself in the mirror and it looks like i've got x-ray vision

makes me feel like i'm carrying a charge and making others uncomfortable just by looking at them
