Check out this super detailed explanation of a first float experience by the beautiful Kathleen Black who is a Spiritual guide and Reiki Master. :-)

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack or threat to survival. The amygdala which is the part of the brain that initiates the response, can’t distinguish between a real threat and a perceived threat. Floating helps to calm down this part of our brains.

We are open 😀 the beast from the east kept us closed for 4 days, it was great to have a few days off but we are back and we are floating from today. Mother’s Day Gift cards are available just follow the link on our website or you can collect from the shop. Have a great Sunday. #floatcork #zerogravity #cork #corkcity #ireland #dreampod #floattherapy #floating #meditation #yogo #jiujitsu #irishjiujitsu #health #mindfulness #creativity #focus #visualise #performance #floattank

The Most Detailed Map of the Universe to Date

Float tank experience inspires latest women's fashion brand I.AM.GIA @i.am.gia.thelabel Founder Alana Pallister explains how she’s captivated a fashion generation around a fictional character and is using social media to create an ultra-elusive, luxury label for the masses. How did I.AM.GIA come about and who is she? I was in a sensory deprivation tank one day and had a lightbulb moment. I wanted to create a brand around a character rather than creating a brand for the sake of creating something new.

National Geographic talks about use of sensory deprivation tanks and other forms of "flow state" technology such as floating as tools for pain management, inducing neuroplasticity, and fighting phantom limb pain. Interesting article! "My interpretation of "flow," a term first described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, is when your ego drops away and you're completely in the moment. The reason why I think that's so important is because whatever happens in that moment, I've found, is when I'm the most neuroplastic. My brain is able to let go of its map or construct of the world and reorient itself to some new reality. I've often found that when I'm truly in flow, I come out of it and it feels like I just went through some deep meditation. What I learned in my physical experience is that so much of my reality is defined entirely in my mind, from that phantom limb pain to whether or not this is a big catastrophe in my life to whether or not it's one of the greatest gifts in my life." On a related note: An informal study conducted by the Laureate Institute for Brain Research attached a mobile EEG to someone while surfing, then to the same person while floating. The results showed that the neurological flow state that was induced by being fully in the zone while surfing was a near mirror image of the flow state that was induced while deep into a float.

Keller Nunley does a great job at describing his experience at New Hampshire Float. Check it out!
