The Benefits Of Floating

The research on floating and meditative states shows profound results for well-being and our health.

As with exercise, it gets better and easier with consistency over time. Simply put, the more you float the deeper states of mind you will experience and the more profound qualities will be developed.

The latest floatation therapy research shows that during floatation, the amygdala basically shuts off, ‘turning down’ anxiety in the brain. The more you float, the better you get at achieving this state. The Floatworks delivers the deepest of meditative states to those who are not experts in meditation so that everyone can enjoy the benefits.

Simply put, floating calms our overly stimulated systems and restores the body’s chemical and metabolic balance.
