The way to this kind of feeling differs for different people; and for some there may be multiple routes. I find that I get much the same sense of connection to the world when I am singing a song well; LISTENING to some music (not necessarily the "best" performance - depends on the performer); or, most precious feeling in my eyes, when I hold a baby.

For one of my sisters, it is dance, and you can SEE it happen. I had a friend who found this sort of connection in viewing paintings.....
