yes... its like an energetic surge that runs through your whole body when you think of something divine... or at least you think it is divine ☼↓☼

3 times this weekend and my anniversary is Tuesday...

Ananda (Joy): This is the super-conscious state. The Vedic texts describe it as Sat-Chit-Ananda (truly felt joy). This is the timeless and spaceless transcendental state which is variously known as relaxed alertness, higher awareness, great happiness, abundant peace, sublime elation, tranquility, serenity, ecstacy or bliss depending on the level of experience. The Jnaana center is connected with this state. Superconscious mind is regarded as the source of much of the inspired writing and speaking. Some modern western musicians wrote that music is a higher revelation than wisdom and philosophy. Some ancient Hindu texts wrote that music transcends all limitations of language and races. It is known to many of us that babies, animals and even snakes enjoy listening to music. Poets described that soft music moves the chord within like a moon beam that tranquillizes the mind, and acts like an orison. Modern para- psychology knows that crops give better yields if soft music is played in the fields regularly. Katha Upanisad described the connection between Chitta, senses, and sense objects like money and pleasure (1.3.10): "Indriya (senses, semen) gets overcome by Artha (money, pleasures). Higher than Artha is Manas, and higher than Manas is Buddhi. Higher (than all these) is the state of bliss connected with soul" I have experienced the state of Ananda.

I just love mornings, especially out in nature. If I'm in the mountains and the weather is great and it's early, birds are singing, and I see a beautiful sunrise, I can't help but feel totally blissful. I experience joy many times.

I have felt it twice, and both times were during meditation

When practicing my Kata I sometimes feel like that. When I am really "there" during Kata I feel like I have made complete bliss. I need to have an area where I am not going to be disturbed and can turn my vision inward rather than worrying about someone running out in front of me or bothering me. It also takes some meditation to get into that state before starting to work my Kata.
