WHY IS FLOTATION THERAPY GOOD FOR YOU?
What effects does floating in flotation tanks
have on the body?
Floating is a method of attaining the deepest relaxation
one can experience.
In the gravity free environment the body balances
and heals internally as all the senses are rested.
Research shows that floating measurably reduces bloody
pressure and heart rate whilst lowering the levels
of stress related chemicals in the body. Old injuries
and aches, (especially backache) experience relief
as floating helps blood circulation.
Flotation therapy is used widely in the treatment
of stress, anxiety, jet lag and to improve concentration
and creativity. Sports performance and ‘wind-down’
is also enhanced during floating. Also, one hour of
floating has the restorative effects of 4 hours of
sleep!
What effects does floating in a flotation
tank have on the mind?
During a float, you produce slower brain-waves patterns,
known as theta waves, (normally experienced only during
a deep meditation or just before falling asleep and
when waking up). This is usually accompanied by vivid
imagery, very clear, creative thoughts, sudden insights
and inspirations or feelings of profound peace and
joy, induced by the release of endorphins, the body’s
natural opiates. Because of these effects, floating
is used effectively in the treatment of depression
and addictions, including smoking and alcohol. It
is also used in schools and universities as tools
for Super Learning.
Is floating successful for everyone?
Floating, as with other treatments, doesn’t
suit everybody. It needs willingness on your part
to let go and see what happens, and you may need to
float a few times before you are able to relax completely,
both physically and mentally. Depending on your own
journey through life, a float might provide an hour
of total physical relaxation – or a profound
healing experience, emotionally and spiritually transforming.
Floating can be a wonderful aid to opening doors into
your inner world, gradually allowing access to those
deeper levels at which real changes take place.
