weightlessly
Like an astronaut
In a manner without weight or the sensation of weight.
Astronauts float weightlessly in orbit.
The word often describes graceful, effortless movement: She moved weightlessly across the dance floor.
Figuratively, it suggests freedom from burden: The news lifted from her shoulders and she breathed weightlessly for the first time in months.
