Jhanas are distinctive states reached when you do concentration meditation deeply. Like, when you go this deep you'll see this weird thing. And when you get this deep you see this other weird thing, and so on. I've gotten to the third or thereabouts.

But that was when I was really into concentration meditation. (And believe you me, there is real magic there).

These days I do the other thing (vipassana. Dry. That is to say, without concentration meditation prep).

Why dry? Doesn't the jhana lube make it smoother?
Ya, but I don't like concentration meditation.
