WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FLOAT….

I COULD go into a highly technical, neuroscience explanation here

There are plenty of amazing resources out there doing this (see in particular Clinical Floatation Website)

So I will keep this more in “lay terms”….

SO – floating …. What is it?

When you lay in a tank of water saturated with Epsom salts which make you float

If you are worried about feeling claustrophobic – you can choose to have the lid open and light on

However, ideally an hour in darkness and silence gives your brain a rest and reset from the usual external stimuli it has to ordinarily process

… and allows the lesser known sense of interception

For me – floating is just that UNBELIEVABLE “reset” to my mind and body

See my piece on The Mighty about floating and Complex PTSD
