Goenka Body Scanning: Do you continue to scan if you fall into Jhana?

Hello, for those of you who have a lot of experience in the Goenka tradition, do you continue to scan the body if you fall into Jhana?  When I do, it becomes hard to scan and it feels counter intuitive.

ps. please only reply if you have a lot of experience in the Goenka tradition

What makes you confident you're in Jhana? How do you describe the experience of falling into Jhana?

Hello Bailey, 

This may be relavent for you.  Do we come out of jhana to practice vipassana?

I read it a while back, and thought it wise and useful.
