1st Jhana

A few times now I have entered the 1st jhana while meditating. Last night during meditation, again, I entered the 1st jhana. After a short while an overwhelming feeling of anxiety came over me, and it broke me from my concentration. This anxiety was so abrupt that it startled me, and my eyes shot open. Everything around me looked so weird!

Has anyone experienced this unprovoked anxiety during a session? If so, could you offer some insight? Many thanks 🙂
