Blissfulness when present is there at all times. Bliss needs no reason to appear and is a beautiful state of your mind that arises when you transcend beyond the mental states you live in general. It is a state with no happiness and unhappiness. A peacefulness, pleasantness and prosperousness is felt when bliss is present and is usually felt throughout the body. Once awakened it remains lifelong, for no reason and all through the day.
 From within
Usually you sense blissfulness arising from within. Many people say they feel that it arises from the heart and show the heart area when asked, "where does it arise?. This cannot be imported from outside, cannot be awakened by thinking of something pleasant and does not arise due to fame, power or wealth. Those having fame, power and wealth may be blissful, while those who are blissful may attract fame, power and wealth. These may purely be coincidences.
Connected with lovingness
Blissfulness has something to do with lovingness and they appear to go hand in hand. When blissfulness is present lovingness is present and lovingness appears for no reason. This may also be described as loving-kindness, where one feels as though acting for another's benefit, expecting nothing in return. One feels good about helping others and when present, lovingness is felt towards all beings and is not limited by conditions. You do not experience lovingness when certain conditions are fulfilled and an absence of it when these conditions are not fulfilled. It remains the same all the way through.
