Without environmental stimuli to process, the central nervous system’s level of activity drops dramatically, sending you into a state of deep relaxation while floating.

Your body undergoes positive physiological changes during float or sensory deprivation therapy that work toward achieving homeostasis—the state of physical equilibrium. Circulation is increased while the blood pressure and heart rate are reduced.

In a theta state and free of distraction, cortisol levels plummet and dopamine levels rise in your brain; resetting your inner clock and coming out of the floatation tank refreshed.
