It is safe and reliable. Five senses are restricted, as is gravity. 07:22 Your sympathetic state shifts into a parasympathetic state when senses and gravity is restricted. 11:37 When you are in that sensory deprived state, your brainwaves change from alpha to theta. 12:00 Floatation therapy is used in treating PTSD in veterans, quickening learning of languages and improving athletic performance from visualization while in the tank. 17:38 A Passive Float Experience: For the highly stressed, just letting go has huge benefits, including magnesium absorption and traction of your spine. 18:30 An Active Float Experience can involve visualization, focus and manifestation. 24:54 The most effective use of floatation therapy with the least amount of application was 9 floats in 27 days at certain intervals. 25:43 For massive life changes, float 3 or 4 times in a week. 26:35 For a major change this year, float 6 times in 2 weeks. You will be different at the end of it. 32:09 Breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, creating an anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 cytokine. Experiment to find the breathing practice that works for you. 43:18 Neurofeedback is simple.. 48:25 Neurofeedback can be effective for insomnia and PTSD. 49:44 Neurofeedback and float tank usage can bring brain hemispheric integration, helping your brain communicate more effectively. 57:51 Microdosing LSD and mushrooms helps business professionals see problems from a new perspective and helps them focus in a new way. 58:53 Strategic applications of psilocybin mushroom can help with depression and anxiety. 01:11:55 Sean’s morning routine begins with a few deep breaths. 01:14:35 Sean’s Desert Island Nutrient is CILTEP by Natural Stacks. It promotes better memory, better recall, better focus and longer focus/mental endurance. 01:15:51 Sean’s Elevator Speech: Drastically regulate chemicals, plastics and synthetic fragrance. 01:20:32 Intuition is teachable. Sean includes this in his coaching practice for his clients.
