                     What Is Floating and How Does 
It Work - Bangkok Float Center
Inside the floatation tank 700 kg of specially formulated salts imported directly 
from Dream Pod and added to 1000 liters of water, creating a 30 cm deep solution, 
which is heated to 35.5 degrees C (skin temperature).
The temperature of the water means that once you are settled in the tank, it is 
virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact 
with the water, and those that aren’t.
The buoyancy created by the dense Epsom-salt solution effectively removes the 
effects of gravity on the body, and brings the individual close to an experience of 
total weightlessness. Unless you are an astronaut, this is the only situation you will 
encounter where your body is free from the harmful forces of gravity.
With ear plugs in and, if you wish, the tank’s interior lights off, the quietness and 
the darkness allow the mind to drift into the deepest state of relaxation possible.
A huge amount of brain power is used every second in order to deal with the strain 
that gravity places on one’s body but now floating weightlessly your body is 
perfectly supported by a cushion of silky skin-temperature liquid.
Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (which 
together account for 90% of normal neuromuscular activity), you conserve and 
redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy.
The ultra-deep relaxation of floating “resets” the body’s hormonal and metabolic 
balance, strengthening resistance to and accelerating recovery from the effects of 
stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise.
With no commands needing to be sent out, the logical side of the brain is 
rendered redundant, and its activity slows down until it synchronizes with the 
creative side. This leaves the individual in a dream-like state, akin to the thoughts 
experienced just before you go to sleep. In this state, the brain releases vast 
amounts of endorphins.
While the state of relaxation may be deep and profound, the individual’s brain 
stays dreamily alert. The brain gradually shifts from its usual waking beta state to 
generate deep alpha, theta or even delta waves, the state-of-mind That Buddhist 
monks try to reach through hours of meditation and years of training. You can 
achieve this in a matter of minutes just by lying back into the silky warm sea of 
bliss that is the floatation experience!
