Floating and astral exits: an open door to spiritual exploration

Floating, known for its many therapeutic and relaxing benefits, also attracts the attention of enthusiasts of spiritual and esoteric practices. Among these practices, astral exits, or out-of-body journeys, occupy a special place. Floating, by providing an environment conducive to deep relaxation and meditation. may well facilitate these mystical experiences. Let's explore how this method can open the door to astral exploration.

What is an astral exit?

Astral exiting, or astral projection, is an experience in which a person perceives their spirit or consciousness moving outside their physical body. This practice is mentioned in various spiritual and mystical traditions. It is often sought after for the feeling of freedom and the exploration of new dimensions of consciousness it brings.

Astral exits are generally induced by deep meditation techniques, relaxation or altered states of consciousness. Floating, with its ability to induce a state of intense relaxation, lends itself particularly well to this practice.

Floating: an environment conducive to deep relaxation

Floating is performed in a tank filled with water saturated with Epsom salts, allowing the body to float effortlessly. The absence of external stimuli (light, sound, gravity) plunges the individual into a state of deep relaxation and sensory deprivation. This state of floating is often compared to deep meditation. Creates ideal conditions for achieving altered levels of consciousness.

Relaxation and the alpha state

For many practitioners, astral exits are facilitated by access to the brain's alpha state. A phase of deep relaxation in which brain waves slow down. Floating helps to achieve this state by reducing brain activity linked to external stimuli. And by promoting deep physical and mental relaxation.

During a floatation session, body and mind enter a phase of intense relaxation. Similar to that achieved through meditation or hypnosis. This state of mental calm and physical relaxation is conducive to the concentration and focus needed to induce an astral exit.

Sensory deprivation and heightened awareness

Sensory deprivation, a key element of floatation, plays a crucial role in inducing astral exits. By eliminating external distractions, floatation allows consciousness to turn inward. This deep introspection is often the prelude to out-of-body experiences.

When external stimuli are minimized, the brain can concentrate on internal perceptions and visualizations. These are two essential elements for inducing astral exits. The sensation of weightlessness in the floatation tank also reinforces this dissociation from the physical body. Facilitating the transition to astral experience.
