In a noisy world, silence is radical.
 
Thresholds of Silence introduces readers to the ancient practice of jhāna—deep states of concentration described in early Buddhist teachings as gateways to clarity, calm, and profound stillness. Long shrouded in mystery, these meditative absorptions are here presented in a way that is both faithful to tradition and accessible to modern practitioners.
 
Mitch Takefman draws from years of teaching mindfulness and contemplative practice to guide readers into the landscapes of the mind where silence becomes luminous.
Discover how to:
Enter the jhāna states with steady, grounded practic
Recognize the qualities of each level of absorption
Use concentration as a foundation for insight and freedom
Navigate obstacles with patience, curiosity, and compassion
Integrate the stillness of jhāna into everyday life
 
Part of the Pathlight series, Thresholds of Silence is a compact yet powerful guide that opens the door to one of the deepest experiences in meditation.
Silence is not emptiness. It is presence in its purest form.
