The effects of floating
An effective method of preventing and relieving stress symptoms is relaxation training. The ability to relax is an art which some people find difficult, but is an ability which can be acquired. Floating is one way of teaching the body to gradually relax.
What is the effect of floating?
After a few minutes floating gives you an unique feeling of weightlessness. During floating the body is liberated from its daily battle with gravity. All the muscles and organs relax completely. Breathing slows down and the heart beat drops. The environment, the warmth, the feeling of being carried by the water, all contributes to floating being the ideal way to let go of the stress and problems of modern daily life.Slowly but surely your thinking patterns seem to dissolve as you feel almost as through you are drifting into another dimension.
Extensive research has shown that floating is an excellent remedy for stress and jetlag. It relieves rheumatic pains, reduces blood pressure and fortifies the immune system. While lowering the output of chemicals associated with stress, floating simultanously triggers the production of endorphins, which generates a feeling of extreme well-being. The body undergoes a thorough cleansing.
