What is an expression for feeling high?

What’s a more formal word to replace the word “feeling high”? By feeling “high,” don’t mean taking crack or smoking cigarettes. When it’s dark/against psychedelic, do you get a trance feeling? Is he healthy?

If you step out of a music club to participate in a dance, jam the guitar and make a playlist, then you get high back.

Where does the word “high” come from? What is a better word to replace feeling high?

What’s a good story about a great boy for he now works for a newspaper?

It’s going to be hard to displace a natural and well-established Metaphor like the UP/DOWN family of metaphor themes. UP/DOWN is a very long term metaphor. It’s not a concept, but a metaphor.

Do they talk about being metaphorically high, for some reason, and in whatever way, is

  • coherent with the UP is HAPPY (DOWN is SAD)
    • theme He’s depressed.
    • What’s a
    • downer?

as well as the

  • UP is BETTER ( DOWN is WORSE ) theme
    • He fell down on the midterm.
    • a rise/fall in performance
    • upwardly-mobile

and the

  • UP is ABSTRACT/DOWN is CONCRETE ) theme head in
    • the clouds feet on
    • the ground Come back
    • to Earth.
    • new heights of abstraction

Virtually all the ways we use to talk about mental experiences are metaphors. This is nothing

new here.

What exactly is it like feeling elated? According to the Oxford Dictionary, if means “very happy and excited because of something good that has happened, or will happen”.

Is “ecstatic” better than “very happy” or “shows great enthusiasm”. I’m very happy with “delighted “.

I do find most of the podcasts sound stiff enough. I

admit they are, but more authentic.

Synonyms for euphoric, elated, and ecstatic are good, but don’t overlook exhilarated (refreshingly thrilled) or exuberant (uber-spirited; extremely energetic or enthusiastic) (word in a sentence).

I am excited. While high as in ‘on drugs’ might justify words like ecstatic, euphoric, or elated, I am not sure anyone would get into that state playing a guitar.
