Weight and addictions
normalize
It has been documented that floating is an effective tool in a weight
reduction program, as well as for the treatment of addictive behaviors
such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Especially when used in
combination with other supportive actions, floating has been shown to
improve results and help sustain the positive benefits.
One specific factor related to weight loss, is the recently studied link
between the stress hormone cortisol and weight gain. There is conclusive
evidence that cortisol is reduced with the use of flotation ( R.E.S.T.)
therapy.
Another way that flotation is an effective treatment for unwanted
behaviors is because of its positive influence on the production of
endorphins. These natural opiates decrease withdrawal symptoms of
addiction and replace the need for addictive substances with the
pleasurable feelings produced while floating.
In addition, relaxation with focused attention
can be very powerful tools for motivating oneself to accomplish specific
goals and be free unwanted or stressful behavior. Floating produces a deep
relaxation that allows you to be open to suggestion and positive thoughts.
It also eliminates distractions so you can explore issues with more clarity,
and focus.
While floating
requires no effort, research has shown that there are ways to increase the
effectiveness of floating through visualization and other techniques.
