Why float ?

Float tank. Also known as a Samadhi tank or Isolation tank. They can be seen as a large bathtub or small pool containing one ton of water in which 500 kilograms of Epsom salts have been dissolved. Concentrated magnesium salts allow floating in the 25 cm height solution and support the body in a state of imponderability. The float tank is large enough for an adult to float without touching the edges of the bathtub. Water is always kept at body temperature to eliminate cold or heat sensations in contact with the skin. Through sound and visual isolation, the influence of these sensory stimuli that normally occupy most of the brain’s functions is minimized. Only relaxation and peace remain, and the healing at all levels can begin.

For an infinitude of reasons, which can be split into three main categories: freedom, relaxation and health. Physical health, because floating in an alkaline solution of concentrated magnesium salts allows the muscles, the bones and spine to relax, and the skin to absorb magnesium from the Epsom salts, therefore balancing the level of minerals in the body. Mental relaxation and stress relieving, after a busy day or a stressful week, offering in 90 minutes of float time the relaxation equivalent of a good nights sleep or a full body massage. The freedom offered by the lack of sensory information that usually occupies the bulk of the brain processing power, making it much more effective in mental decisions, creative processes and meditation sessions.

It’s for everyone. From the youngest to the oldest, from the smallest to the tallest, from the healthy ones to the sick ones. From those with back problems to those with chronic fatigue, those lacking magnesium, calcium and body minerals, to athletes who want to give the muscles the ideal relaxation after an intense workout. For those who want a break to think quietly of a project and those who use meditation as a method of personal self-development. Floating can be used by anyone and bring benefits even to those who consider themselves healthy. In fact, they usually enjoy the best of floating, because relaxation can happen a lot faster. Experiences differ from case to case and we usually prefer to let those who have tried it to share the results after a few float sessions in which they had the opportunity to deepen the experience and feel the first benefits.
