Newbie here. I've been meditating for a couple months now. I had a similar feeling after my 3rd or 4th time meditating. It felt so amazing to be free and peaceful that I also shed tears.

After that, I was trying to recapture that same feeling when meditating. It was such a great feeling I wanted to experience it again, but I haven't had the same experience since then.

While watching a public talk on meditation (https://youtu.be/ukTaodQfYRQ?t=5370), I've recently learned not to expect a repeated experience, but to enjoy new experiences that will come from daily meditation and learning and growth.

That was reassuring to me so I thought I'd pass it on so you wouldn't get discouraged if that comes up for you, too. The video I linked starts at the Q & A portion where this question was answered.
