Meditation offers a variety of benefits:
1. Increased emotional intelligence, by i.proving self awareness and emotional regulation.
2. Improved relationships by promoting empathy and reducing reactivity.
3. Greater resilience, by developing resilience against stress and adversity, helping individuals to cope better with challenges and setbacks, building skills to manage stress, and reducing negative thoughts.
4. Decreased impulsivity, by encouraging a pause between stimulus and response.
5. Reduction of age related cognitive decline by promoting brain health and neuroplasticity.
6. Better sleep quality by alleviating anxiety and racing thoughts and lowering resting heart rate.
Unfortunately, meditation can be difficult at first, not only mentally but also physically. Taking the traditional meditation position, the aches and cramps that arise in the body become a source of pain and discomfort, which leads to mental distraction. Some religions may be even against performing yoga poses.
While floating, you don't need to make any poses! Additionally, buoyancy of the water and healing effects of Epsom Salt eases physical tension and pain, which can be distracting during meditation.
Floating done in a sensory deprivation tank can significantly enhance meditation practice. It basically does the work for you by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, releasing Theta waves, reducing distractions, increasing awareness, and improving focus.
