For me, the "euphoria" I get, comes directly from the emptiness of my thoughts, or the lack of the usual day to day things bustling around in my head at the very least.

As I get more familiar with that very subtle feeling, the amount of "euphoria" I seem to derive from it grows immensely.


The feelings associated with being in a "quiet mind" are hard to quantify at first, but the more I work on meditation (with and without the Kasina), the more I am beginning to grasp the powerful effects of it.

Like Scott said, don't think of it as a switch that will turn you on into a different state of consciousness, think of it as a tool that makes taking a glimpse into the mind of a meditation master, and the benefits that are possible with dedication, just a little bit easier to grasp.
