It sounds like your median experience is somewhere around my 90th percentile experience. So what's your 90th percentile experience like?
I'm in a similar range to Ixiel.
I would characterize my 90th percentile experience as a profound sense of peace and contentment, a combination of emotional satisfaction with physical comfort and security. This comes from good brain chemistry (cheerful, optimistic outlook), favorable life circumstances (happily married, no major illnesses, financially stable), and a sustainable enjoyment of katastematic pleasure.
