Re: Sad i want to attain jhanas but i have mental illnesses. Anyone else who have mental illness and practice meditation
Pinetree: Sure when i have thoughts about sensual pleasure object i feel desire. Or when i get angry thoughts i feel anger. But when the mind thinking about not angry and not greedy things i don't feel anything, it is boring.
