Yup, grounded presence. One way I look at it is from the perspective of Mandukya Upanishad.
There are the three states of mind: waking, dreaming and deep sleep. Then there's the Fourth (Turyia AKA unitary Consciousness - in effect the silent Witness). The three states of mind arise, appear and subside, but not the Fourth. It is ever-present, undergirding and permeating the three states of mind. It's the Intrinsic whereas the three states are all extrinsic. It can be
noticed in a very intimate way and not only in deep meditation, however in my opinion recognizing It first in deep meditation helps recognizing It in other mind states.
