    Yes, the talk on jhanas there is worth a listen. There are other sites but it's mostly insight meditation which seems to be very fashionable these days.

    Interesting. I had never heard of insight meditation so gave it a search and was surprised to see one of the founders is Jack Kornfield.

    I don't think I'm ready to willfully incorporate working with jhanas into my practice. I feel I may have reached a couple from what I've heard but for some reason I don't feel like trying to confirm it.

    The site looks wonderful though with a lot of selections. Thanks @cook99

    I've done a bit of audio books from Buddhanet.com. They have guided meditations as well as talks on Therevada and Mahayana Buddhism.

    Just go to a secluded or quiet place, and sit down, and establish mindfulness in front of you before anything else first, and in time you will know whether or not your breathing in long or out long, and breathing in short or out short, and you will figure out the rest in no time. You are your own best teacher.

    @SpinNorman but don't you know that heedfulness leads to the deathless? That's what the Buddha said.

    Here is a short article about heedlfulness by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

    Sure, but being heedful isn't as easy as it sounds. Advice is needed.
