What makes floating so beneficial?
The warm, soothing water in the floatation bed is ideal for relaxation. Your muscles are idle as you float and send a chemical message to your brain saying, in effect, “Relax.” Blood vessels near the skin release, allowing for better blood flow. Within minutes you feel better and less stressed, while your mind and body become more relaxed. The increased blood flow and weightlessness promote healing of muscle strains and relief from joint pain. Research shows that when the brain is freed from gravity, temperature, sight, sound, and touch, it enters into a brainwave state that normally can be achieved only through deep meditation. Floating provides the same benefits as years of meditative training — in much less time.
