Wellness Wellness is a holistic approach to health, encompassing physical, mental, social, cultural and spiritual dimensions. Wellness is about potential, moving toward the highest state of wellbeing of which we are capable, and is the responsibility of the individual and cannot be delegated to someone else. External stimuli are constantly militating against our system's equilibrium. Every noise, every degree of temperature above or below the body's optimal level, every encounter with other people, everything we see and feel can disrupt our homeostasis, our optimal state of balance, harmony, equilibrium and stability. But when we enter the float tank, we abruptly stop making constant adjustments to outer stimuli. Since there are no external threats, no pressures to adapt to outside events, the system can devote all its energies to restoring itself. The normal state, of course, is health, vigour, enthusiasm, and immense pleasure in being alive. |
