What is floating?

Floating literally means to float in a pool filled with salt water, where you can experience the feeling of complete weightlessness similar to that experienced in the Dead Sea. You float in a saturated saline solution gently heated to the temperature of your skin (35.5°C). It is also completely dark and quiet. Up to 80% of the workload of the human brain is caused by processing and reflecting on external environmental stimuli. Floating screens out external stimulation. The mind has room to be more creative and self-aware and allows all muscle groups and tissues to relax completely. Nowhere else is it possible to attain such a deep state of relaxation at all levels.
