Is the 2nd level of Jhana meditation possible to attain?
I have been practicing Jhana meditation for a month now and it seems I’m still where I started. How do I achieve the 2nd level of Jhana? (if it’s possible)

I guess it’s not how long. But your will and the duration of each session…Meditation is the Shizzit! Good luck my friend!
On shrooms, this will be able to be reached, stage 3 won’t even be a problem
I don’t have a specific answer to your question. However, I meditate daily but probably in a different tradition than you do. Progress is generally fairly slow with ups, downs, and lots of periods where you feel you are not making much progress at all.
One important reason I am writing is that it sounds to me that you are meditating alone, possibly by reading a book. If you are really serious about meditation, it really helps to have a teacher or be in an organization to help guide you along the path.
I am not saying you must have a guru or join some Buddhist or yoga tradition. However, at least have some resources that can answer questions like you just asked. On Yahoo Answers, you may get different opinions, some of them good and some of them bad.
It is important to have some sort of teacher or organization that gives you answers and guidelines that you can really trust. Best wishes.
I am not sure if the following link will help, but you can take a look: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS336&q=jhana+meditation
