Lower Your Cortisol Levels

Lower Your Cortisol Levels!

A few years ago, the Float Conference took place in Denver, Colorado.

Researchers, entrepreneurs, and consciousness explorers who believe in the benefits of floating tanks gathered to share knowledge, experiences, and research findings. We were there, and we came back inspired—more convinced than ever of the importance of spreading awareness about float tanks.

Here, we share two of our favorite insights.

A Health Break

Among the various testimonials and speakers, we were particularly moved by Jerry Walker’s presentation. As a clinical psychologist working with elite U.S. Air Force operators, he helps them manage stress and cope with post-traumatic shocks that affect every aspect of their lives.

He chose the float tank as a tool to support these individuals, and the results were remarkable. Here are some key findings:

• The 91 men and women he studied reported, on average, a 60% reduction in stress after just one float, with effects lasting several days.
• They also experienced a 66% reduction in chronic pain after floating.
• Many noticed improvements in both the quality and duration of their sleep.
• The more frequently they used floating tanks, the greater the benefits they felt—and the less they relied on self-medication (such as alcohol).

Walker attributes these results to the sensory break that the float tank provides. This pause allows the nervous system to shift into relaxation and regeneration mode.

An Essential Moment of Peace

Glenn Perry, the creator of the first commercial float tank, was one of the speakers. He raised an important point that deeply resonated with us.

To navigate the challenges humanity faces today, it is essential to take moments of reflection and reconnect with our deeper resources, rather than operating in reactive mode. The floating tank provides the peace necessary to foster this connection and self-awareness—something that can truly make a difference.

The presentations by Glenn Perry and Jerry Walker reinforced our belief in the significant role that floating tanks at Ovarium have played in people’s lives for the past 37 years!

A Contagious Enthusiasm

We wish we could share the excitement of the event organizers and participants, who were inspired by the research findings and powerful testimonials of those whose lives have been transformed by floating tanks.

We returned from this conference more inspired and convinced than ever about the importance of floating!
