Time Magazine: Floating
Clinical studies being performed by Dr. Justin Feinstein at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research are examining float therapy as a primary tool to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect to signals from within the body. Preliminary data collected by EEG and fMRI show the positive effects of REST in the treatment of anxiety and have led to new research into anxiety, addiction and PTSD.
In 2015 Time Magazine’s “Float Hopes: the Strange New Science of Floating” Dr. Feinstein is quoted, “Floating has given me hope that a whole chunk of our population that normally would never be able to meditate could now achieve those sorts of deep meditative states.”
