In meditation,what would happen if you achieved "bliss"?

Question

i.e-what would the physical/mental effects be?

Answer 1

experiencing bliss after meditation is a very high state of being.

It means the self has established in Causal body (or anandamaya subtle body)

But this bliss does not remain for long, and is temporary

This state brings lot of purification of negativity, removal of sins, and purging of bad karma... making us one step higher on spirituality

But appearance of bliss is not the final achievement, it is a stop in between

Answer 2

Everyone wants to be happy, and the Jhanas are how you can achieve happiness, I mean real happiness, deep happiness. The only trouble is these states don't last very long, only a few hours, but still they are very attractive. They arise through letting go, real letting go. In particular they arise through letting go of will, choice, control. It's a fascinating thing to experience a deep meditation and understand how it comes about. Through such an experience you realise that the more you control, the more you crave because of attachments, the less peaceful you get. But the more you let go, the more you abandon, the more you get out of the way, the happier you feel. Now this is a teaching of something very profound, much deeper than you can read in a book or hear in a talk and certainly much more useful than discussing these things over a coffee table. You're actually experiencing something. This is getting towards the heart of religion, that which people call mysticism. You're actually experiencing it for your self. In particular you are letting go of this "controller," this "doer." Now that is the prime problem for human beings. We can't stop messing things up. Very often we should just leave things alone but we can't, we don't. Instead we make a mess. Why can't you just relax and enjoy yourself instead of always doing something?

It's hard to stop in meditation, but the more you stop the more rewards you get, the more peace you get. When you let go in meditation, let go the will, let go of the control, when you stop talking to yourself, you get inner silence. How many of you are fed up yet with this racket that goes on inside your head all the time? How many of you sometimes can't get to sleep at night when there's no noise from the neighbours but there is something even louder between your ears. Yak, Yak, Yak, Worry, Worry, Worry, Think, Think, Think! This is the problem with human beings, when it's time to think they can't think clearly and when it's time to stop thinking they can't be at peace. When we learn how to meditate we get this sense of being more balanced, and we know how to let go. We now how to let go to the point where all thoughts disappear. These thoughts are just commentaries, they're just descriptions. The difference between thought and reality is the difference between, say, reading a book about New York and going to New York. Which is more real? When you're there, you smell the air, you feel the atmosphere, you sense the character, all of which are things you can't write in a book. The truth is always silent. The lie is always with words.

Answer 3

I achieve "bliss" in prayer. It is such an over powering spiritual effect that anything physical or mental are kinda like irrelevant. It just don't matter, all I want comes from the spirit.

Answer 4

Head on over to your favorite search engine and type in

neurotheology

Some years ago scientists began studying what really goes on in the brain during meditation. Especially when one reaches that state of "experiencing God." There is an actual reaction.

The feeling of oneness with all things.
Lowering of the blood pressure.
Calmness and peace

Scientists used to say Theresa of Avila had temporal lobe epilepsy and that's what caused her visions. Now they know that's not true.

They can recreate this in a lab with magnets. Atheists will claim this is proof there is no God. However, scientists can also recreate the sensation of eating apple pie. And we all know that exists.
