ecstatic experience
Overwhelming joyful state
An ecstatic experience is a state of overwhelming emotion—intense joy, rapture, or transcendence that seems to lift a person beyond ordinary consciousness.
The term appears in religious and spiritual contexts to describe mystical encounters, visions, or moments of divine communion.
It also describes secular peak experiences: The concert was an ecstatic experience.
What unifies these uses is the sense of being transported, temporarily outside oneself.
