In the past decade relaxation training has been one of a number of behavioral approaches to the treatment of chronic pain. Recently, flotation REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), which consists of floating in buoyant liquid kept at skin surface temperature in a sound-proof, light-free enclosure, has been used to induce deep states of relaxation and assist in the relaxation training process.
Floating inside a float tank frees the body from the strains of gravity and external stimuli, triggering a powerful reflex inside the brain, causing both the mind and body to enter into a relaxed state. Floating will leave you deeply relaxed. How deep, research has shown that the brain activity during floating is nearly identical to the elevated states of consciousness experienced by trained Buddhist monks during meditation.
