With words, linked end to end like box cars, we can understand only in linear fashion, one bit at a time, while with imagery we can assimilate and entire scene, event, or complex relationship. History is studded with stories of creative geniuses who first encountered their reality-changing ideas in the form of visions, or mental images. Taylor also noted that the float group appeared to visualize better than the non-float group, and produced scignificantly higher amounts of theta waves, which are known to be associated with stron mental imagery. The floatation tank is the optimal environment for visualization because the relaxation it ensures is so profound that the brain soon begins to generate an unprecedented amount of very slow, strong, rythmical theta waves, which are associated with vivid, lifelike hynagogic images. In the tank, deep relaxation and strong mental imagery come spontaneously and effortlessly.
Creativity is as important for business people as it is for artists.
Relaxation plays an important role in the creative process. It allows one to be calm and able to listen to their mind. While floating, you are able to view your life and business from a more objective perspective, where the answers to all your questions are apparent. You float effortlessly in a silky solution of Epsom salts saturated in body-temperature water. With all distractions eliminated, including light and sound, you easily enter a profound state of relaxation unlike anything you have experienced on planet earth.
