Another re-post, because it’s life-changing. What you feel as your body, and your weight, is neither. If somebody pushed up against you, you’d know that feeling was caused by them pressing on you. But when the Earth pushes up into you, for some reason we think the feelings are our ‘weight’. You can’t feel your weight. You can’t even feel your body. You are your body, you can’t step outside it to feel it. Try going about your life feeling those bodily feelings as the forces acting and changing, between you and the planet. It takes the attention outside your ‘body’, into its relationship with the planet, every second. Those forces will ‘work you out’ faster than any gym, if you get to know them. One amazing thing you’ll find is that you’re just floating at the surface of the Earth, you have no ‘weight’ at all, in the way we usually mean that.
