Yes, some of my favorite music will give me chills down my spine, make me smile (occasionally laugh), sing along and dance.
I also get a profound sense of relaxation after a hard hour of crossfit, an urge to just lean back, take a deep breath and not give a shit about anything. When I think back afterwards, during the exercise my mind is completely clear of all worries, only the movements matter.
Do you spontaneously laugh because you're filled with such joy in this state of "relaxation"? I've done that after a body scan and just mindful breathing.
The thing with relaxation is it's easy to think you are relaxed until you experience actual deep relaxation. Search on youtube for "Yoga nidra", lie down and just follow the instructions. Simple yet profound.
