Has anyone experienced the Jhanas?

[cokeboy]

Apparently I had one experience, and a buddhist monk teacher verified that I entered the 6th Jhana. I can also say that it mogs all of the Rx opioids, alcohol, fapping, etc thereafter. Also, I felt like I needed nothing at all, and this includes foids. The contentment was intense and all absorbing.

• First Jhana: Pleasant sensations and no physical aches
• Second Jhana: Emotional joy and serenity
• Third Jhana: Contentment
• Fourth Jhana: Equanimity, with no positive or negative sensations
• Fifth Jhana: Attention shifts outward, and the body experiences floating sensations
• Sixth Jhana: Infinity of consciousness
• Seventh Jhana: Nothingness
• Eighth Jhana: Neither perception nor non-perception

No, but give me some feedback on something I did years ago. I stopped meditating because of it.

I had been doing many variations of breath meditation. After it got easy, I decided to focus on something other than my breathing. I decided to focus on the fact that I'm focusing. This was really intense and difficult to maintain. I took it on as a challenge, but then I started getting panic attacks from it. What's the Buddhist lore on this?
