Jhāna-constipation ā›œšŸŒŠ

A condition where one is practicing the method of attaining Jhāna correctly, but energy channels are partially blocked, preventing full onslaught of unhindered jhāna as described in AN 5.28.

Jhāna-constipation ā›œšŸŒŠ is a newly created term to describe the condition in suttas such as SN 54.7. The suttas don't give much detail explaining the cause or the workings of that underlying phenomena, just that doing passaddhi 5šŸŒŠ and 16šŸŒ¬ļøšŸ˜¤ā€ correctly and long enough fixes it. Detailed explanation of how 16aps steps 3 and 4 and Pacification awakening factor lead from Jhāna-constipation to first Jhāna here: 5šŸŒŠ.

Fortunately, šŸ”—Jhāna-constipation explained by Qigong Gorilla offers many techniques to speed up the overcoming of this condition, not discussed in the suttas or Thera-vāda in general.

How long is too long to be jhāna-constipated? Going longer than 3 or more weeks without seeing improvement, you should be evaluating whether you're practicing correctly, and whether you have a correct understanding of Jhāna as the Buddha defined it, and seek help from experienced meditators.

(fecal) constipation ā›œšŸ’©

Constipation occurs when bowel movements become less frequent and stools become difficult to pass. It happens most often due to changes in diet or routine, or due to inadequate intake of fiber.

How long is too long to be constipated? Going longer than 3 or more days without one, though, is usually too long. After 3 days, your poop gets harder and more difficult to pass.

Can You Be Constipated and Still Poop? Yes. It's possible that you can be constipated, yet still have bowel movements. Constipation is typically defined as having fewer than three bowel movements a week.
