Float tubs provide a place where one can relax, recover, and remove themselves from their busy and stressful lives. Once settled on the surface of the float tub and the lights go out, (optional) the outside world disappears. No sight, no sound, and no sensation while you are suspended in perfect harmony. Your body/mind instantly begin to slow down as you reach Theta state (deep meditative state), breathing rate decreases, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormones all naturally decrease (cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine). The decrease of stress hormones is because your sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) is allowed to finally turn off (which is very rare).
