Does prayer make you feel “high?

Greetings fellow redditors,

My name is André Moreira and I come from Portugal a catholic country. My upbringing was Christian oriented and I was baptized and learned how to pray the Christian way. I am not much of a believer in the supernatural and I struggle having faith. I have been to prison once in my life for a month in Austria as I was caught by the police sleeping under a tree without my documents. This happened because I has lost my documents like my ID card in the Czech Republic. When I was in prison I had seven roommates and most of them were from Arab countries like Sudan, Egypt and Syria. They prayed everyday on a praying rug and finally they told me to pray with them. I did what they told me to do and I prayed like three times. I remember feeling high after praying like I had been purified or something like that. It was an unbelievable sensation and I had not taken any drugs whatsoever. I have tried praying alone but I have not achieved the same state of mind. Do you also feel high after praying the salah? I am asking this because I find Islam interesting and this experience I had was one of a kind thing that I do not recall having previously. It was like magic. It felt so good I wanted to pray with them again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice one!
