Yesterday, I talked to a group of young people who have been meditating frequently.
One of them had an amazing question for the group: What is your favourite emotion?
Most of them said that there is this feeling they have when meditating, there are almost no words to describe it. It's very similar to love and gratitude; perhaps the best word to describe it is bliss.
So naturally, my first thought was: what is bliss?
Bliss is a state of inner coherence.
Scientifically, bliss occurs when your nervous system is regulated, your heart rhythm is stable, and your brain waves slow into alpha or theta states. In this state, stress chemistry drops, and the body shifts from survival into safety.
When survival turns off, something else turns on: presence.
Spiritually, bliss is the absence of resistance. It is what remains when you stop fighting the moment. When you stop arguing with reality. When you are not chasing, fixing, or proving.
Bliss is not created - it is uncovered.
It appears when: • your mind quiets • your body softens • your attention rests in the now • your identity loosens
You don’t achieve bliss by forcing positivity. You access it by removing inner friction.
Breath. Stillness. Gratitude. Embodiment. Nervous system regulation. Letting go.
Bliss is your natural state beneath tension.
It’s not a peak experience. It's a regulated one.
✨ The less you resist life, the more bliss becomes available.
Not because life changed - but because you stopped contracting against it.
PS. Tonight meditation at 9.30 pm CET time - link is under the Calendar menu. Hope to see you there 💖
