Is there a name for that peaceful, clear almost 'high' feeling you get after a really good meditation session?

I'd say it roughly corresponds to the Pali tems piti and sukkha.
I get the same feeling after vigorous exercise. I’ve heard it called a “runners high”.
Rarely get it from meditation these days.
Maybe I’m not doing it right?
Bliss...
Delusion?
Oops … bad lobster
I would suggest highs and lows and nothing very much are all non meditation states.
@Jason has answered it technically but I would ask, what is the name for mindfulness that does not have a name?

I like the word 'clear' or transparent. This just passing through state or stillness is being without form. In a sense it is mahamudra or dzogchen.
It is important to ascribe no qualities or preferences to it. It is the just sitting of shikantaza
