Hi Michael,
*mmmhhhmmmm* sounds nice, very nice .
I know that description from personal experience too, and from literature. It's just perfect...
Csikszentmihalyi calls this state "Flow". Flow is a state that can occur if the demands of the situation and your abilities match exactly. Everything comes easily without thinking. So as far as my understanding goes it involves some action - doing something - which could be an explanation why you experienced it during CW but not Statics (just a guess, though).
What I experienced during statics - exclusivly there - didn't resemble Flow though I don't know what it was. It rather was some form of total concentration without thinking about anything, combined with a feeling that is very hard to describe. Perhaps "being one" with the water and the state of holding my breath itself comes closest ?
Gee, am I getting weired :duh ?
