3rd birthday of the @igpp.bsky.social Freiburg Floatation-REST cabin at Prana built by floataway.com, supported by Float Research Collective. Our research on ASC resulted in four studies: 1 article, 1 preprint, 2 manuscripts; 2 study grants by Hanns-Seidl-Stifung and Bial foundation. More to come.

The second Floatation-REST study from my igpp.bsky.social lab as PsyArXiv preprint, with Iraklis Pantazis. Participants report a stronger feeling of afterglow as measured with an afterglow inventory, more state mindfulness, and more interoceptive awareness: osf.io/preprints/ps...
