Скачать или смотреть Float to Glow: How Deep Relaxation from Floating Creates a Lasting Afterglow | Dr. M. Wittmann

In this study of Iraklis Pantazis & Dr. Marc Wittmann, researchers compared the effects of Floatation-REST (floating in a dark, quiet tank filled with warm, salt-saturated water) with a more conventional Bed-REST (resting on a waterbed). They discovered that floating led to:

Increased Relaxation: Participants felt significantly more relaxed during the float.
Altered Perception: Floating reduced the usual sense of one’s body boundaries and distorted the perception of time.
Afterglow Effect: After floating, individuals experienced a lasting state of calm, increased mindfulness, and heightened internal awareness.
The findings suggest that the deep relaxation achieved during the float is what drives the extended “afterglow” – similar to effects seen with certain meditative or psychedelic experiences. This could point to Floatation-REST as a promising tool for stress relief and improved mental well-being.

Induction of altered states of consciousness during Floatation-REST is associated with the dissolution of body boundaries and the distortion of subjective time:
