💧 Floatation Therapy💧 For those who have never heard it, it’s a tub filled with magnesium epsom salts that allows you float effortlessly on water. Floating is especially beneficial for pregnant mamas as it gives you the feeling of complete weightlessness, taking the ease off a sore back, muscles and joints. 💫 Water is maintained at body temperature. Zero distractions and deep relaxation for 60 minutes while floating in a womb-like cocoon allowed me to connect with the baby in my belly🧘🏽‍♀️💫 Can’t believe I’ve put this off for over a year since I knew this place existed @palmavefloatclub 🤭 Let’s just say it serves a purpose now that I finally got to try it as the experience felt more special while I’m pregnant 💝 #floatationtank #palmfloatave #36weekspregnant (at Palm Ave Float Club - Lavender) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9MGqRJf7s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had an wonderful float on Tuesday. My floats, latley, have been starting out adressing all the issues in my physical body. I have all kinds of wierd twiches and quick spasms. Sometimes a certain muscle will just vibrate for a few seconds. This goes on for a while as my body slowly lets go of all the tension. Most of the float there after was spend in a very pleasent state of emptiness. My mind was truely still and without activity. Just breathing, my blood pulsing, and vast empty space. Bliss. A thought did come eventually, it was all about the question; what is true love? It became obviouse that true love is so vast its totally non-personal. Has nothing to do with ownership. True love towards an individual is not a wanting to have them yourself, but a very real and present feeling of wanting only the highest good for that person, and basing ones actions toward them, or lack there of, upon that ideal. Furthermore, that loves highest point is wanting only that highest good for all beings. Every person, aminal, plant and grain of sand. Living this way can't lead to anything other than a fullfilled life filled with passion, devotion and purpose. I truly believe the float tanks, yoga, and other practices can and will eventually cultivate that same feeling I'm describing. We can all get it goin if we want it. But not without some effort.

Yesterday I floated my vulnerabilities away in a sensory depreciation pod for an hour followed by a massage.

I've just spent 75minutes in this #floatationtank the water is very salty so you float effortlessly and it's body Temperature so after a while you lose the sensation of separation between you and the water. It's great for meditation, relaxation or to have a nap. I'll try to go up to two hours in my next floats. Feeling rested, high, nurtured and a bit out of it. Contact Tommy Langley here in Melbourne. It's crazy cheap. @tomlangley #floatationtherapy (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Float on: Is Sensory Deprivation the key to easing stress?

Here’s a confession that will come as little surprise to those who know me. 

I’m a little high strung. OK I’m a stress case, just naturally. I worry. I overthink. I get anxious. It’s chronic and as much as I chalk it up to my personality and my ability to get things done. But it’s also likely to take a toll on my health. 

I try to manage stress and anxiety as best as I can. I attempt regular meditation, commit to daily workouts. I get enough sleep and take vitamins. I also sabotage all of this due to my love of coffee and don’t always stick to the strict diet I should. 

I work in a high-stress, deadline-driven world and have for so long that this feels normal to me. I might even thrive on it. Gasp!

So I’m always willing to try out new ways of managing stress or finding a healthier path. Since I started my own business, work and clients take priority. So to make sure I am eating healthy real food - especially when cooking it seems impossible - I order from Better Woodman. I head over the gym 5 days a week and I opt to walk, rather than drive, whenever it’s feasible. 

I’ve been a major fan of massage and acupuncture for managing stress (not to mention chronic migraines). And truly, the only way to disconnect and shut off my busy brain seems to be physically traveling to another location - a day away at the beach or a quiet plane ride helps when it’s possible. 

This week I tried something new - sensory deprivation via a salt water float. 

I met the owners of Motor City Float at December’s Detroit Urban Craft Fair and instantly had questions. Would it look like that giant tank from Stranger Things? How much water is in the chamber? How long do you stay inside? Do people get claustrophobic? 

As it turns out, floating isn’t nearly as spooky as I suspected. I love water, lakes, oceans and pools but - little known fact - thanks to a scary fall into a deep pool at age 3, I still haven’t mastered swimming. So I definitely approached floating with a bit of fear. I was assured the tank contained only 10 inches of water and all it takes is the ability to trust that you can and will float. 

As someone convinced she sinks like a stone when submerged in water, I can attest to this - floating was very relaxing. Curious about it, too?

Here’s how it goes:

At Motor City Float you can make an appointment and read the FAQs or talk with the friendly staff beforehand. Upon entering, you exchange shoes and socks for rubbery shower shoes (or can bring your own) and flip-flop over to the float rooms. They are completely private, but before you begin on a first visit the staff will go over some tips. 

Remember to put those earplugs in first. Then you shower under a fantastic rainfall showerhead. Then if you have any cuts put a bit of petroleum jelly on them to prevent the salt from stinging. It’s a good tip - be sure to do this. 

Then it’s time to enter the sensory deprivation tank. It resembles a giant refrigeration unit. But as soon as you open it, you see an array of relaxing lights and steam coming off of the water - which is about your exact body temperature and very comforting.

The only real challenge was letting myself trust the process and float. I found myself holding tension in my arms, lower back and neck. Once I submerged myself past my ears, it felt pretty amazing. The lights and music subside after a few minutes and it took me longer than that to get the hang of it. 

After that, though I felt completely supported, warm and relaxed. A wiggle of a finger or toe, touching the top of the water was the only real reminder of the setting. The only sound I could hear was my own breath. It sounded a bit intense in the tank with my earplugs in - think Darth Vadar. But after an hour, the lights and music returned and lulled me back to reality. 

Taking time to exit the float tank is important. I felt less than graceful doing so and really hope no one witnessed my flailing about. Then, a second shower followed to remove all remnants of the epsom salt. I conditioned my hair and grabbed a fluffy towel. That was that.

The whole experience leaves you feeling super relaxed. My skin was very soft and I took time to relax in and enjoy some water before heading out into the world.

I slept really well - and actually couldn’t wait to go to sleep that evening. The following day I experienced some odd aching in my joints and a bit of a headache - which I might attribute to the weather. I can only wonder if the sensations were related to any detoxing effects of the float. I plan to try it again and see what happens. 

Whether or not floating is for you, how do you de-stress or stay calm and relaxed each day?

“Especially in the city, time out from everything, including your senses, is invaluable “ 💙🙏 #Repost @_lau_h_ ・・・ At the risk of sounding dramatic I feel like this contraption saved my life yesterday. If you haven't tried floating I highly recommend it. After not sleeping more than 4 hours for 9 consecutive nights initially due to back pain and my mental health in a dangerous place, the experience seemed to completely reset or reboot my brain. I got a restful 7 hours last night and it feels as though an ordeal is over. Now I can get on with my life. I will be back for another float as soon as funds allow.
