Introduction

Floatation, or sensory isolation therapy, involves floating in a pool of water saturated with Epsom salts. This practice creates a state of weightlessness and sensory deprivation. The result is an environment conducive to deep meditation and inner exploration.t.

Reducing External Stimuli

Firstly, floating drastically reduces external stimuli. By floating in a dark, silent environment, the brain is freed from the usual distractions. So it can concentrate entirely on internal perceptions. This reduction in stimuli enables the brain to process more subtle information.

Pineal Gland Stimulation

Secondly, the deep state of relaxation during floating stimulates the pineal gland. This gland is often associated with intuition and extra-sensory perception. In fact, the pineal gland produces melatonin, which regulates sleep and dreams. What's more, some researchers believe it also produces DMT, a substance involved in mystical experiences.

Deep Relaxation and Meditation

What's more, floating induces deep relaxation similar to advanced meditation. This state of relaxation promotes access to altered states of consciousness. As a result, extra-sensory abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance and intuition can be explored and developed. Indeed, studies show that regular meditation enhances intuitive abilities.
