bliss

Utter spiritual joy

Bliss is perfect happiness or serene joy—not merely pleasure but a state of complete contentment: domestic bliss, ignorance is bliss.

The word often carries spiritual overtones, suggesting transcendence beyond ordinary satisfaction.

To bliss out is to enter a state of euphoric calm, often through meditation, drugs, or overwhelming pleasure: She blissed out on the beach for hours.
