What do you mean by "bliss states"?
- hosh 11y agoOne-point concentration leads to very well-described states called jhana (dhayana). In deeper states, there can arise an orgasmic bliss, probably better than anything you can take. There's a verse from one of Mitten & Deva Premal's songs that describe some of this bliss well: I stood alone at the gateless gate too drunk on love to hesitate To the winds I cast my fate and the remnants of my fear. Concentration is not mindfulness meditation, though.
