the homeostasis explanation

Looking at the relationship between body and mind, it is evident that each influences the other. The whole system can be seen as a series of feedback loops, with no one in control but rather a complex balance of many factors and influences. Illness and stress can be viewed as a disruption of the body’s natural balance, or the body’s natural homeostasis. Many of the explanations of floating focus on one or more of these systems and yet none are in themselves the whole answer. The human body has a very effective self -monitoring and self-regulating system that is constantly working to maintain the body in its optimum state of well-being.  When given the chance to reset itself and find its natural homeostasis, the body will naturally heal itself. Research indicates that many of floating's most powerful effects come from its tendency to allow the body return to its natural state of homeostasis. When we float, we take away all competing stimuli and allow the body to devote all of its energies to restoring itself to its normal state: energetic, vital, healthy and joyful.
