float into bliss

Gently immerse your senses in serenity, allowing you to escape the noise of the world and find profound calmness within

SENSORY DEPRIVATION

The primary purpose of a sensory deprivation tank is to create an environment that isolates external sensory inputs such as sound, light, and gravity. By eliminating these external stimuli, floaters can experience a deep state of relaxation and introspection. The water and epsom salt in the tank helps individuals float effortlessly, relieving the body from the usual pressures of gravity.

Benefits

  • Stress reduction, nervous system regulation and relaxation: Sensory deprivation tanks provide a tranquil and controlled environment that promotes deep relaxation. Floating in the tank helps release muscle tension, lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone), and allows your mind and body to enter a state of profound calmness.

  • Mental clarity and enhanced focus: The absence of external stimuli in the tank allows your mind to declutter and enter a state of mental clarity. Many floaters report experiencing improved focus, heightened concentration, and enhanced problem-solving abilities after their sessions.

  • Pain relief and muscle recovery: The buoyancy provided by the saltwater solution in the tank relieves pressure on the joints and muscles, offering relief from chronic pain, soreness, and physical discomfort. Floating can also stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, promoting overall pain reduction.

  • Increased creativity and mental exploration: The sensory deprivation tank acts as a sanctuary for creative thinking and mental exploration. Many artists, writers, and innovators use floatation to tap into their subconscious mind, generating new ideas, and accessing deeper levels of creativity.

  • Improved sleep quality: Regular floatation sessions have been linked to improved sleep quality. The deep relaxation and stress reduction experienced in the tank can help alleviate insomnia, regulate sleep patterns, and promote a more restful and rejuvenating night's sleep.

  • Enhanced meditation and mindfulness: Sensory deprivation tanks create an ideal environment for meditation and mindfulness practices. The absence of external distractions allows you to dive deep into your meditation practice, heightening self-awareness, and facilitating a profound sense of presence and inner peace.

“If you have a clear mind, you won’t have to search for direction. The direction will come to you.”

How it works

When you enter a sensory deprivation tank, you'll find yourself in a serene, enclosed space.

The tank is typically filled with approximately 10 inches of water, heated to match your body temperature, and saturated with Epsom salt. This high salt concentration allows you to float effortlessly on the surface of the water.

The tank's environment is carefully designed to reduce external stimuli. The interior is soundproofed, blocking out external noises, and the tank itself is often pitch-black or dimly lit.

As you settle into the tank, you'll gradually lose awareness of your body and the outside world.


Best Practices

How to make the most of your float:

  1. Prepare your mind and body: Prior to your session, engage in activities that help you relax, such as taking a warm shower or practicing deep breathing exercises. Clear your mind of any distractions or concerns, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the experience.

  2. Avoid caffeine and heavy meals: Consuming caffeine or eating a heavy meal shortly before your session may interfere with your ability to relax. It's best to avoid them to ensure a more comfortable and immersive floatation experience.

  3. Use earplugs: To minimize sound distractions, and prevent too much water from entering the ear canal, you can wear earplugs. Don’t worry, we’ll have these here for you to use!

  4. Experiment with different positions: Explore different body positions during your float to find the most comfortable one for you. Some individuals prefer arms by their sides, while others may find it more relaxing to rest them above their heads.

  5. Focus on your breath and mindfulness: As you settle into the tank, concentrate on your breathing and embrace a mindful state. This can help you let go of intrusive thoughts and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

  6. Extend your session duration gradually: If you're new to floatation, start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable. This allows your mind and body to adapt to the unique environment of the tank.
