divine ecstasy
Heavenly transcendent joy
Divine ecstasy is a state of overwhelming rapture or bliss experienced in connection with the sacred—the feeling of being transported beyond ordinary consciousness through spiritual encounter.
Mystics across traditions describe losing awareness of the body, merging with the divine, or experiencing joy beyond language: The saint entered divine ecstasy during prayer.
The term applies both to genuine religious experience and to heightened states that feel transcendent: The music sent her into something like divine ecstasy.
