For people who have been doing meditation for quite some time might have experienced moments of intense energy and a feeling of oneness with the environment around you. If you wondered why that is so, here is a nice talk at TED conference by Jill Bolte a Neuro Anatomist who talks about the explicit roles of left and right brain hemispheres. The right treats all information by our sense organs as a stream of energy without any preconceived notions before the left picks it up to dissect it. I guess during deep meditation we are deliberately switching off the left to make the right more prominent which is causing those feelings of intense energy.
Here is the link to the talk

Note: The speaker never mentions anything explicitly about mediation, its purely my personal opinion.
