Weightless

/ˈweɪtləs/ adjective

Definition

Free from the normal constraints or burdens of physical or emotional gravity. Describes a state of liberation from usual pressures and limitations.

Etymology

From 'weight' plus '-less,' literally meaning 'without weight.' Extended metaphorically to describe emotional states where normal concerns and pressures seem to disappear, creating a sense of freedom and transcendence.

Kelly Says

Weightless feelings often occur during flow states or transcendent experiences when the brain's self-monitoring systems quiet down. Without the constant internal chatter about problems and pressures, consciousness feels lighter and more expansive, like emotional gravity has been temporarily suspended.
