Summer means stress relief! Sitting at the beach, swimming, and enjoying the warm weather all help to ease our stress.
Did you know the physiological process of relieving stress is known as the “relaxation response” (RR)? The relaxation response is attainable at a state of deep relaxation and is the opposite of the “fight-or-flight” response. This is such an effective remedy to reduce stress symptoms.
One effective method to elicit RR is through relaxation in a flotation tank. During flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique) the individual lays in a horizontal floating posture immersed in highly concentrated salt water (magnesium sulphate) in a flotation tank. All incoming stimuli are reduced and the water is heated to skin temperature.
Flotation-REST has been scientifically investigated and is today considered a well-developed and scientifically proven method used to reduce stress, depression, anxiety, and to increase optimism and sleep quality. Significant pain reduction has also been reported after using flotation-REST technique.
Stress is the body’s response to any demand placed upon it. The demands can be physical, such as heavy lifting or running a marathon. They can also be mental, such as taking a final exam or giving a speech. Over time, chronic stress can lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and anxiety disorders.
Floating has been shown to improve one’s mood, relieve anxiety, and provide stress relief. Float therapy can increase creativity and enhance focus. It is a great way to reconnect with your mind and achieve a state of peace, serenity, and tranquility.
