levitating
Suspended without support
Levitating is rising or hovering in the air without visible support, defying gravity.
The word appears in accounts of magic tricks, spiritual phenomena, and science fiction: The magician appeared to be levitating above the stage.
It extends to anything that seems to float mysteriously: dust motes levitating in a shaft of light.
