The four kinds of Non-material Sphere Jhᾱna are:

(1) The Jhᾱna with unbounded space as the object of meditation: Akᾱsᾱnancᾱyatana Jhᾱna;

(2) The Jhᾱna with boundless consciousness as the object of meditation: Viññᾱnancᾱyatana jhᾱna. Yogis who have achieved Jhᾱna usually enter upon and dwell in the base (ᾱyatana) consisting of boundless consciousness, which is termed as the Second Jhᾱna of the Non-material Sphere.

(3) The Jhᾱna with Nothingness as the object of meditation: Akincaññᾱyatana jhᾱna. The yogi who has achieved the jhᾱna based on Nothingness passes away to the realm of Brahmas who are devoid of corporeality, arῡpabrahmᾱ.

(4) The Jhᾱna where gross consciousness is absent, yet there is subtle perception so that it is termed as the Jhᾱna of neither-consciousness-nor-non-consciousness: Nevasaññᾱ nᾱsaññᾱyatana jhᾱna. The Nevasaññᾱ nᾱsaññᾱyatana jhᾱna is also called the Fourth Jhᾱna of the Non-material Sphere.
