đ§ Your Nervous System: Itâs All About Balance đ§
Your nervous system has two main modes that constantly work together:
⥠Sympathetic Nervous System - your âfight or flightâ mode
This kicks in when youâre stressed, busy, overwhelmed, or constantly on the go. Itâs great for short bursts⌠but when itâs stuck âonâ, it can leave you feeling tense, wired, anxious, exhausted, or unable to fully switch off.
đż Parasympathetic Nervous System - your ârest and digestâ mode
This is where your body repairs, recovers, calms inflammation, supports digestion, and restores energy. This state is essential for both physical and mental wellbeing - yet many of us spend very little time here.
⨠The goal isnât to eliminate stress (that's not practical) - itâs to restore balance.
Dry flotation gently supports this shift into parasympathetic mode. The weightless support, reduced sensory input, and deep physical relaxation help signal safety to your nervous system - allowing it to finally slow down.
Many people are surprised by how calm they feel after a float - clearer thinking, softer muscles, deeper breathing, and a sense of reset that lingers well beyond the session.
If life has felt a little âstuck in overdrive,â dry flotation can be a powerful way to remind your nervous system how to rest again đ
