What is floating?
Float tanks contain 800 pounds of Epsom salts allowing effortless floating in a light-proof, sound-proof environment where water matches skin temperature. In this gravity-free, reduced sensory state, both body and mind experience profound relaxation with proven benefits for stress, anxiety, and pain.
Benefits
MEDITATION
Floating is primarily a tool to help facilitate mental stillness which is an integral part of meditation. While floating most people feel like they are truly in the moment. In this state, they are awake but extremely relaxed. This is also known as the theta brainwave state or flow. Meditation has been proven to help with many things some of which include: anxiety, depression, substance abuse, memory, creativity, blood pressure, etc.
PAIN
Floating research has shown that users produce much higher levels of endorphins after experiencing profound relaxation. After an hour in a sensory deprived environment many people experience much lower amounts of pain and many are able to stop using their painkillers altogether. The infrared sauna and float tank combo are a great way to reduce pain!
REST AND RECOVER
While floating the body automatically suppresses our flight or fight response and activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsive for relaxation and healing. Some of the physical effects noted during and after floating are increased endorphins, lower blood pressure, decreased stress hormones, muscular tension and anxiety.
CREATIVE
There have been many experiments that show the linkage between floating and creativity. The relaxing effects from floating help your brain generate creative new ideas, imagery, and solutions for your work. People using the tank have reported an increase in free imagery and remote associations.
VISUALIZATION
While floating many people report that they are intensely awake but extremely relaxed at the same time. This state is very useful for those that want to hone their skills through visualization techniques. Whether they are athletes preparing for competition or speakers rehearsing for a presentation the floatation environment is what they need to perform at their best. Also, it has been shown that mental rehearsal is just as powerful as physical rehearsal.
SUPER LEARNING
While floating in a sensory reduced environment the mind can become hyper-suggestible. With zero distractions the mind is able to make far greater use of its resources. This allows it to absorb new material much more deeply and at a greater rate with improved performance in memory and recall activities. Great for exam preparation and improving work performance.
THE ROOM
CLEAN
The water in the tank is fully filtered 3 times between each float using a 10 micron filter and UV filter. Also, Epsom salt is a powerful natural disinfectant.
PRIVATE
You get your own room with a shower and change area. The door to the room is lockable from the inside and you can get in and out of the float tank and the float room as you please.
Couples’s Floats
You and a guest can reserve one of our private Ocean Float Rooms that are spacious and welcoming for two people, so you can float comfortably side-by-side in one cabin for a deep bonding meditation session.
