Floating offers a direct path to achieving the theta state, a relaxed and peaceful mind that meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork aim for. The isolation of a float tank eliminates distractions, allowing you to focus on your breath and observe your thoughts with ease. Combining floating with these practices can be incredibly beneficial. While floating may not be the absolute fastest way for everyone, research suggests it can be an effective shortcut to experiencing theta waves. It might take a few sessions to feel truly at ease if you’re new to meditation, spending time alone with your thoughts, or even floating yourself. We recommend 5-10 floats to reach that blissful state.
