Your nervous system is like a muscle. When you have been in a constant state of "fight or flight" mode, the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for "fight and flight" mode, gets stronger. If it gets too strong from being in this state
constantly for many years, your brain will not know how to switch off the "fight or flight" mode and relax.
The good news is that you can use floatation to train your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for "rest and digest" mode. While floating, your brain actives parasympathetic nervous system, which will decrease your heart rate and blood pressure, make your breathing slower, and activate theta waves, which usually happens during meditation.
The more you float, the stronger your parasympathetic nervous system gets, as you train it by activating it each time you float. Once your nervous system gets stronger, you relax easier and faster, you're able to approach your life with greater resilience and recover from stressful events quicker.
