You sure seem to be serious about this flying practice, though.

I think your hard work will be rewarded... It's quite stylish, too.

I wanna fly even higher, but I end up falling before I get there. Don't you know any tricks that'd help?

Ways to fly higher, huh? Well, I'm not really an expert. I don't know the exact mechanics of converting spiritual power into buoyancy, buuut...

Generally speaking... If your body's density is lower than that of the atmosphere around you, your buoyancy exceeds your mass and the surrounding air pushes you upward, letting you fly higher.

In other words, what do I do?

Well, in this case the reason that you can float in place but not fly up might be that the air gets thinner the higher you go, making it harder to gain buoyancy.
