what's floating? :0c

It’s where you shut yourself in a sensory deprivation tank (no lights or sounds) and float in epsom salt for an hour+

(You strip naked but the example is wearing a bathing suit)

I’ve been doing it for a few years now and it’s helped reduce stress, anxiety, depression etc, and improves sleep and creativity. It’s not a substitute for a therapist but it’s a great pairing to go with it (think of it like a glass of wine paired to a meal). Recently it’s been helping me heal from some mental and emotional trauma by allowing me to focus on myself and meditate with my thoughts with no outside influence or distractions.

It can be scary the first few times but when you let go of your fear and breathe, you really get to know a deep, spiritual side of yourself! And the salt makes your skin feel super soft 🥰

#thank you for coming to my Ted talk #therapy is a tool and the float is where you dissect what you learn #and also where you have nowhere to run from your thoughts so you have to confront them #my demons don’t bother me in the tank because that’s where we talk and I learn hard truths I try to avoid thinking about #I’ve cried in tanks before because truths about people you cared for can be hard to process but it’s in an environment where I feel safe #I know for some people they don’t want to look at themselves in such an intimate way but I promise it will help guide you to what you need #I hope that makes sense???#I always recommend trying it #you learn a lot about yourself and your mind can process things you learn in therapy in a quiet environment #when it’s just you and the water you learn to feel safe in your own company and my self love has been improving since I started meditating #and sometimes I just like to vibe and imagine OCs kissing #floating is always a win win
