How does floating help to produce theta waves?
Although you can learn to generate theta waves by practicing meditation for many years, studies at Texas A&M and the University of Colorado have shown that floating increases production of theta waves simply by providing the environment to attain the meditative state. People who float quickly enter the theta state while remaining awake and consciously aware of all the vivid imagery and creative thought that passes through their minds, and the effect is reciprocal for up to three weeks.
