In an age of negative news cycles and information overload, anxiety is just a click away. But an understanding of interoception, the sense that interprets bodily signals, can help us keep calm

Neue Studie uni Freiburg- danke marc wittmann !!

One of the most underappreciated aspects of floatation therapy is the tight calibration of temperature. When the air temperature and water temperature are both calibrated to match the temperature at the surface of the skin (~94-95°F), a very unique altered state of consciousness can occur. The boundary between air, body, and water disappears, and suddenly the person floating can no longer discern where their body begins and where it ends.

In a fascinating new study out of his brand new floatation laboratory in Freiburg, Marc Wittmann and his graduate student Helena Hruby examined the link between body dissolution, altered states of consciousness, and the anti-anxiety effects of float therapy. Using a highly active control condition where participants were lying on a warm waterbed in a dark and quiet room, the study found that the float condition induced a significantly higher level of body dissolution than the control condition. The float condition also led to a larger reduction in anxiety. Quite strikingly, the loss of body boundaries mediated the loss of anxiety, revealing a novel mechanism by which floatation therapy exerts its anxiolytic effect.

A big congratulations to Dr. Wittmann and his laboratory for this great discovery! It was an honor for the FRC to have contributed. The study is freely available to view online and share using this link:

Did you see last week's article in the Washington Post? It discusses some of the benefits of floating for mental health and includes the perspective of people whose lives are being changed for the better by float therapy.

Clinical Floating Studie
Mit FLOATINGSPACE integriere ich Floating in den psychotherapeutischen Prozess - AngstpatientInnen erzielen eine Reduktion bzw. Regulation ihrer Ängste und auch die Körperwahrnehmung bei Anorexie verbessert/verändert sich nachhaltig.
Let‘s float clinically Austria…

We are excited to announce the publication of a landmark float study in the high impact medical journal, eClinicalMedicine!

This is the 1st inpatient float study that has ever been published and it provides clear evidence showing that float therapy is safe and can reliably reduce anxiety and improve body image in severely ill patients with anorexia nervosa. Quite strikingly, the effects were still present over 6 months later and were significantly greater than treatment as usual (which entailed a rigorous regimen of therapy, medications, and dietary counseling). These findings provide an empirical basis for deploying float therapy directly into hospital settings and eating disorder treatment programs around the world.

A big congrats to Dr. Sahib Khalsa and the excellent team of researchers who helped bring this project to fruition including Dr. Scott Moseman (Medical Director of the Laureate Eating Disorders Program), Dr. Justin Feinstein (President and Director of the Float Research Collective), and lead authors, Drs. Emily Choquette and Flux.
