It's .. err .. like flying. Can't really put it into words.
Flying in dreams and in OBE / astral is my only reference to the feeling. I haven't flown with the body yet, so I have nothing to compare it against, either.
In dreams, it sometimes starts when I jump and realize that I'm almost weightless. Sometimes I practise weightlessness first and then focus on moving around. Sometimes I find my speed limited (just a few km/h), sometimes I don't (hundreds of km/h or even more). Once or twice I have just fled at the decisive moment .. with quite a speed (tens of kilometres in a split-second). More often I have fled with teleportation.
In OBE / astral, I have sometimes had the issue of there being no "up" direction (in addition to 360 degrees vision). As a cloud of consciousness, it just dissipates when for each part of the cloud, the "up" direction is away from the rest of the cloud. However, once the cloud of consciousness has been converged into a definite form, it seems to be easier to fly around.
