Does Salah give you a spiritual 'high'?

Assalamu alaikum everyone, My name is André Moreira, and I'm from Portugal, which is mostly Catholic. I was raised Christian, baptized, and taught to pray that way. I'm not really a strong believer in supernatural things and I find faith difficult. A while back, I ended up in jail for a month in Austria because the police caught me sleeping under a tree without my papers-I had lost my ID in the Czech Republic. In prison, I shared a cell with seven others, most from Arab countries like Sudan, Egypt, and Syria. They'd pray on their prayer mats every day, and eventually they invited me to join. I prayed with them maybe three times, following their lead. Afterwards, I felt this amazing lightness, almost like I'd been cleansed or something. It was incredible, and I hadn't taken any drugs at all. I've tried praying alone since then, but I can't reach the same feeling. Do you also experience that kind of spiritual uplift after praying salah? I'm curious because Islam fascinates me, and that moment was so unique-like magic. It felt so good that I wanted to keep praying with them. Thanks for reading, and may Allah reward you!
