During Zuo Wang meditation, I experienced a sensation of weightlessness, and the images in my mind appeared to invert. Is this a normal part of the process?

probably lightheaded, did you sit on an empty stomach?
insulin spike also
Deep relaxation can trigger a drop in blood pressure tongue.gif

the "forgetting" leads to a state of being where the individual is no longer identified with their thoughts and emotions
Long story short, observe without judgement

Not sitting on an empty stomach.

From your response, it seems that the visual experiences are part of the normal process.

I also want to ask — is gentle swaying during seated meditation considered normal too?
It’s not something I consciously control; the body just moves on its own.

Visual experiences can be vary, the swaying movement are body activating small muscle groups probably. Which, are normal and can improve over time.
No matter what you felt… The only bad thing is 'too much' of everything, just like life itself
when something came out, like memories or pictures. it’s best to only observe without engaging it.

This doesn't mean suppressing or denying your experiences. It means relating to them in a different way like with curiosity, acceptance, and detachment. It's about creating space between yourself and your experiences, so you can respond to them wisely, rather than reacting impulsively. It's about finding a balance between observing and inquiring. A little bit of gentle inquiry can be helpful for understanding, but too much can lead to unnecessary suffering. The goal is to be curious without getting lost in the "what ifs."

Ultimately, the best way to seek guidance from a qualified teacher who can observe your posture and provide personalized feedback.
