Abstract in brief
The study investigates how FloatationREST, a therapy that minimizes environmental stimuli, affects the cardiovascular system, especially in anxious individuals, and finds that it reduces blood pressure, breathing rate, and certain heart rate variability metrics.
Participants included both clinically anxious individuals and non-anxious controls, and their physiological responses were measured during floatation and relaxing film sessions to compare effects.
Results show that FloatationREST leads to significant physiological changes indicating reduced autonomic arousal, such as lower blood pressure and breathing rates, aligning with its anxiolytic effects.]
For those of you interested in interoception and visceral regulation, you might find this new paper from LIBR interesting. It demonstrates the cardiovascular effects of the floating intervention that's been tested here over the last several years: https://t.co/TGEVrhIqVw

Brand new float publication! This is the 1st study to measure heart rate variability while floating and it took a monumental effort to collect EKG in an environment with so much water and salt. The study is freely available online at: https://t.co/j4jrhrpKrX

New research shows that floating significantly reduced blood pressure, and the degree to which blood pressure dropped was associated with less anxiety and more serenity after the float was over.

New study! The results suggest that floating was altering the balance of the autonomic nervous system toward a more parasympathetic state.
