One-point concentration leads to very well-described states called jhana (dhayana). In deeper states, there can arise an orgasmic bliss, probably better than anything you can take.

There's a verse from one of Mitten & Deva Premal's songs that describe some of this bliss well:

    I stood alone at the gateless gate
    too drunk on love to hesitate
    To the winds I cast my fate
    and the remnants of my fear.
Concentration is not mindfulness meditation, though.
