I was listening to a desana from the Jethavanarama Buddhist Monastery YouTube channel, and while listening to the desana I was very much focused and started to feel lightness and brightness all of a sudden (not too much but enough to realise something is going on) and then I was feeling to laugh from that lightness , it was for a very short time about a second or two. It happened to me for about 2 times during that session.Was I close to the first Jhana?

It is hard to say either way until a jhana is cultivated to the extent that one can willfully get into it.

• The Buddha described the jhanic experience of someone fully immersed in jhana. See “Jhānic Experience in Detail – Sāmañ­ña­phala Sutta (DN 2).”
