Fashionable floatation procedure - what is it?

Life in the rhythm of a modern city does not leave time for relaxation. Many of them do not let go of the day, even at night. The ideal way out of stress is floatation.

Floating - what is it?

Translated from English, this means "soar" or "swim". The procedure is to find a person in a dense saline solution in an isolated chamber. Water, saturated with salts, pushes the body to the surface, and the person seems to soar above the liquid. Comfortable temperature, close to body temperature, silence and darkness allow a person to be alone with himself, to experience complete physical and psychological comfort.

Floating is carried out in a special chamber, which is a capsule filled with warm water, with a tightly fitting light door. A person opens and closes this door himself.

Before and after the session, you need to take a shower. Duration - 1 hour. Time must be planned so that after the session you can do nothing. Floating causes deep relaxation, and it is difficult, almost impossible, to work after it.

Who invented this?

Someone John Lilly, an American neuroscientist. He studied the effect on man of the phenomenon of sensory deprivation or the deprivation of all its external stimuli. Lilly dealt with the problems of the human psyche, and in the middle of the last century he was coined float. What this is, the specialist realized later, when from the method of treatment this method of deep, rapid and safe relaxation turned into a super popular procedure for all comers.

Initially, Lilly was engaged in the rehabilitation of retired officers who suffered many stressful situations during their service. It was for them was invented a camera isolated from sounds and light with warm salt water. Dr. Lilly's patients swam in this cell for hours. The attempts were successful and gave a lot of new data on the activity of the human brain. Subsequently, Lilly studied the activity of the dolphin brain and tried to teach them how to communicate with people. Research Lilly formed the basis of best-sellers, and the camera was used for commercial purposes.

Why does this work?

In the process of life, a person gets a lot of stress. Many of them are literally driven into the subconscious, a person can not "digest" to the end. From this, in the muscles are formed multiple muscle clamps or places of constant spasms. Staying in a salt-saturated solution is comparable to weightlessness, so the body floats so much. That this is so effective, can feel for each person.

In float chambers, the English salt or magnesium sulphate, more commonly known as magnesia, is used. This substance is of natural origin, it produces a medical product to lower blood pressure and an excellent laxative. In various concentrations this substance is used as a food additive, and also as a fertilizer.

Magnesium is present in all tissues of the human body. It regulates the transmission of a nerve impulse, resists spasms, improves blood composition. Without magnesium, joint repair is impossible. Stay in a state of complete physical rest unloads the spine and gives an impulse to spontaneous recovery. Flotation, reviews about which are always enthusiastic, brings back to normal many physiological processes.

The fact is that the brain's activity proceeds continuously, but because of external stimuli we are unable to comprehend the signals that it sends us.

During the session a person does not sleep, but is in a state of complete rest. Floating - reviews say this - can cause unexpected associations. There can come a solution to an intricate life problem, understanding the need for forgiveness of the offender. New information can be assimilated, which before did not want to fit into the head.
