Goals for jhana practice

Hi,

Last night I noticed I can get into at least the sixth jhana.

If I wanted to take a break from insight practice for a month or two, what might be some goals or at least areas to work on? I'd prefer to make progress in ways that will also benefit my insight practice when I return to it.

Your question is too vague.

In terms of what are you referring? What do you see yourself accomplishing?

Do you mean making further progress in the arupa jhanas? Or do you have something else in mind?
