Microcosmic Orbit resulting in Floating?

[hod]

Floating through meditation is something you hear about in India, but I feel like you don't hear about it much in China.

 

Does anyone know of any references to floating in Daoist mythology or folklore?

 

If not, I am curious about what "outward" effects are referenced in regards to high levels of meditation refinement (I'm NOT so curious about what modern science can prove, but more of what exists in the mythology and folklore of Daoism).

 

For this sort of stuff I usually reference all the Eva Wong books with folklore stories, but I'm not finding much in there about floating.

 

And before anyone asks, I am in no way claiming I floated. I am just curious about filling the holes in my knowledge of Daoist mythology.

I've felt things with my body like the feeling of 6 foot long arms, actual melting, energy surging out of my feet like rocket boots. It's not visualised but actually felt like it's really like that. I can only presume that the feeling of floating would occur with profound relaxation and a balanced up and down flow. I've heard it mentioned by people. Not in literature.

I have seen it.

 

And demonstrated it in huge public auditorium back in 1975.

Was it someone from a Chinese / Daoist background doing it (as opposed to a India / Yoga background)?

Chinese gongfu.
