During the dry floatation experience, the body stops adjusting body temperature and gravitational orientation: two activities that alone absorb up to 90% of our resources.
Having cast off this burden, the body is free to produce endorphins, the substances associated with wellbeing.
In addition, during the floatation, some areas of the brain are positively stimulated, generating a response that’s opposite to stress.
This is why we experience such a pleasant state of rest.
