What effects does floating have on my mind?

During a floating session, you produce slower brain-waves patterns; know as Theta waves, (normally experienced only during deep meditation or just before falling asleep). The body’s natural opiates endorphins are released. This is naturally making creative thoughts, vivid thoughts, sudden insights and inspirations or feelings of profound peace and joy. Because of these effects, floating tanks are used effectively in the treatment of depression and addictions, including smoking and alcohol. It is also used as a tool for super learning. 

 
If I'm afraid before I use the tank the first time?

Your fears may be of darkness, claustrophobia, turning over, air volume, being alone, or being out of control in a new situation. There are lamps inside if you like to use it. People who say they are claustrophobic assume that they will be confined in an enclosed space. The inside of the tank is very large, 1,2m (3'11")high, 1,4m (4'7")wide and 2,3m (7'7")long and you can´t reach for example the roof inside lying on your back and you can easily sit up with no problem at all. It's impossible to turn your body without using a lot of force and even then is it difficult. The floatation tank is ventilated all the time. The doors are not locked, easy to open even with your fingernail if you like.

Disorientation?

The floater knows that the tank door can be opened at any time one chooses. It is safe to fall asleep in the tank. Even people, who report they never sleep on their backs in bed, sleeps floating on their backs in the tank. The tank is designed to supply air that is constantly renewed ventilation system.


Clean water?

The water is filtered in the morning and after each floater and sterilized by the use of an UV filtering system and also is H2O2 added. The water is kept very clean, and there are fewer bacteria in the tank than in your drinking water. But don't taste it, Epsom salt is also called bitter salt.


Silence?

The tank is not completely soundproof. Using earplugs and having your ears underwater eliminates most of your hearing. Inside the floatationtank are speakers used if you like to have music, hypnotising tapes or even language courses. 

The First float can be the hardest float?

It may take a few minutes to acclimate to a stress free environment. Your mind may chatter endlessly. It will be enormously peaceful and even boring. It doesn't matter, the experience will still take place.



Relaxing brain?

Time in sensory isolation is what allows the mind to rest. The brain will relax and it’s a good time for meditation. The more motionless you are in the tank the more will the body’s awareness disappear. The brain is not used to sensory reduction so the mind tries to control three-dimensional reality. Since there is no sound, the mind will look for sound and amplify whatever it hears (heartbeat, breathing).


Self-exploration?

Enjoy the sensation, relax, breathe, and let go. Floating begins your journey into Self-exploration, relaxation, health, wellness, and discovery. Your flotation experience continues even after the floating session. Your brains learn how to enjoy relaxation.
