Hopefully second Jhana or even the immaterial Jhanas! I practice more a "Simply sitting" style that is known at Antaiji or Gyobutsuji Zen Monastery but before I was also someone from the Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Brahm camp and still in ways are.
One of the really neat things of Jhana is that the first Jhana can be very light or very very intense like Leigh talks about in the differences in build up before letting your mind go into the absorption state.
