Floatation tanks (also known as isolation or sensory deprivation tanks) are designed to create a condition & environment which is ideal for the relaxation and rejuvenation of the Mind/Body. Research shows that the effects of a two hour float session are equivalent to eight hours of deep sleep, making it one of the most efficient & comprehensive relaxation techniques available.
The experience of floatation is also one of an heightened awareness of mental, emotional & physical processes. Whilst "floating" you experience an intensified consciousness of the body & mind; you are able to reflect, to ponder, to explore and to refine your powers of concentration and creativity.
A floatation tank is an 8'x4'x4' structure which diminishes light & sound. Each tank holds 10 inches of water with 800 pounds of dissolved Epsom salts, which enable a person to float effortlessly. The water is heated to an average skin temperature (93.5F) which reduces the sensation between body and water. The tanks are fully ventilated and the water/salt solution is sterilized after each use using a combined system of ultraviolet light, ozone, concentrated hydrogen peroxide and diatomite earth filters.
Specific benefits of floating include:
- Reduction of tension caused by stress and anxiety
- An increased ability to visualize, create, imagine and problem solve
- Spontaneous reduction in, or the elimination of, habits, i.e. smoking
- "Super-learning" by increasing the mind's powers of retention, comprehension and original thinking
- Peak-performance enhancement, i.e. athletic, creative, mental
- Recovery from stress of peek output and virtual elimination of fatigue and "post-race letdown"
It's fun, too! :)
