How to withdraw from Jhana?

[smokey]

I have never achieved Jhana, but I do intend to, so I would like to know how to withdraw from it?

If you mean sutta form jhana, then you can just stand up. Of course, you can also re establish the factors that you had previously disposed of. First, if you're in fourth jhana, you would direct your attention to the obvious sense of body and the feelings present there. Then you would allow your mind to become enamored with those bodily feelings. Then you return mental thinking to the process of breathing. Then you get up.

Mhm. Getting "stuck" probably isn't anything to be concerned about, don't let any lingering worries about that prevent you from allowing your concentration to become as solid as possible. As soon as the intention to get up comes up, the process of adverting is pretty much already happening, and if you happened to get into a really really hard jhana, you won't even be able to form the intention to get out anyway, so you won't care.

If you are worried about getting out then don't worry, the worry will most likely prevent you from getting in.
