Description:

Flotation REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique), also known as sensory deprivation or isolation tank therapy, is a therapeutic practice that involves floating effortlessly in a tank filled with saltwater at body temperature.

Principle:

Flotation REST reduces external sensory input, allowing the body and mind to reach a deep state of relaxation. The tank provides a zero-gravity environment, creating a sense of weightlessness and eliminating external distractions.

Procedure:

During a flotation REST session, individuals float on their backs in the tank, wearing minimal or no clothing to maximize sensory deprivation. The tank is soundproof and dimly lit to minimize auditory and visual stimuli. The high concentration of Epsom salt in the water enables effortless floating.

Benefits:

• Stress reduction
• Pain relief
• Improved sleep quality
• Muscle recovery and relaxation
• Enhanced creativity and problem-solving
• Increased mindfulness and self-awareness
