The float tank is an effective tool in a weight reduction program, as well as for the treatment of addictive behaviors.
Scientists think that floatation is effective in weight
loss programs and for treatment of addictive behaviors because of its positive influence on the production of
endorphins. These natural opiates of the body decrease the stressful
withdrawal symptoms of addiction and replace the need for
addictive substances with the pleasurable feelings produced while floating. Similar
results have been achieved in weight loss programs developed for the
float tank.
There are two elements necessary for motivating
oneself to accomplish specific goals and be free
of non-adaptive or stressful behavior. These two
elements are relaxation and focused attention.
The float tank is an effective tool
for positive self-motivation because it provides the following;
- Eliminates all external stimuli so you can concentrate on yourself
- Produces a very deep relaxation so you can be open to suggestion and
open to positive thoughts and attitudes
- Produces chemical changes in your body which favor clarity of thought,
improved memory and problem-solving
Combined with complementary modalities, the float tank
is an effective tool for self improvement. |
