Netflix vs Floating - A 2022 study compared the effects on anxiety between people who floated, and those who just watched a relaxing documentary πŸ“πŸ’§

Not only did it help reduce anxiety and increase feelings of serenity, it was even more pronounced in people who were clinically diagnosed with anxiety disorders! πŸ“‰

When your body is perfectly supported but also able to move through the surface, that's when your joints and muscles can move exactly into the position it wants to be in to be at total rest πŸ’§πŸ›

No energy used to keep posture, no solid surface beneath you molding you into an unnatural position πŸ’―

Let your mind wander...eventually it'll get tired and settle down 😌

But if you want to have something to concentrate on, feel free to ask us to help you plug in your phone to play your own music or meditation track while you float! 🎡

When you realize if it wasn't going to matter a year from now, it didn't really matter in the first place πŸ˜ŒπŸ€πŸŒŠ

08/10/2024

When you're in a deep, rested state, that's when all your experiences and knowledge connect together in different ways not possible when you're fully conscious 🧠

That's what allows novelty, insight and spontaneous ideas to spring forth for problems you've been dealing with! πŸ’‘

The float experience starts well before the float and continues long after. Some pre-float tips to improve your experience:

Avoid caffeine β˜•
Don't rush yourself πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
Minimize phone usage πŸ“΄
Gentle stretching or yoga πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

Manages Pain 😬
Speeds Recovery ⏩
Boosts Immunity πŸ”ΊοΈ
Lowers Blood Pressure πŸ“‰
Relaxes Nervous System 😌
Reduces Anxiety Disorders πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

Did I just describe the benefits of slow breathing or floating? πŸ’¦

They also complement each other massively, because the float tank allows you to lie down while the diaphragm muscles in your back can fully expand through the water surface, resulting in a deeper, slower breath πŸ’§

07/26/2024

There's a learning curve to relaxation in your first float, especially when your body has never been in such a buoyant water environment πŸ’¦

Your neck has never been able to fully release and still keep your head above water, so it takes a bit of practice to release that tension 😌

But once you do, you'll experience a weightlessness that you've never felt before β›΅

07/24/2024

Relaxing in an environment with no perceived threats that could injure us allows the TONE to decrease in our nervous system πŸ“‰

That tone is what controls rigidity or flexibility. And by signalling to our body that certain ranges of motion are 'safe' again, that's what gives us back full expression of our bodies πŸ’ͺ

Open a new tab, mark another message un-opened, remind yourself to think about thing later...and then later never comes to deal with those unfinished thoughts 🚧

Interoception - the phenomenon of becoming acutely aware of the sensations in your body including your heartbeat, breathing, muscle tension, etc. 🧠

Which is more easily done in a float when you're not being distracted by the news or millions of other of external inputs πŸ“΄

When you go in expecting to just relieve sore muscles and come out with the mental clarity on how to fulfill your life potential πŸ’ŽπŸŒŠ

Your joints and lower back do so much work carrying you around all day πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

Let the buoyancy of 1000 lbs do that for 90 minutes or more. You'll be surprised at the pain and tension you didn't even notice you had! πŸŒŠπŸ’™

Our Story

As with many before, it only took one float to get us hooked. We immediately knew this was a unique experience that we wanted to share with others. After a few long walks in the forest, several coffee-shop meetings, a trip to the float conference in Portland, and some floats along the way, we began visualizing our ideal float centre. Striving to share floating with as many people as possible, we found that Burlington (our home town), would be the perfect place to set up shop.

We embarked on our first "real world" entrepreneurial journey, and remained driven by the belief that floating is an excellent tool for personal wellness. Whether it be after a workout, or a stressful day, there wasn't anything quite like the warm, cozy feeling of laying down weightless in a tank. It is an amazingly simple yet powerful tool, with the ability to enhance anyone's life. Whether you use it for personal development, physiological benefits, psychological benefits, or a combination of sorts, we believe floating has the ability to positively impact and deeply aid anyone who sets forth into the presence of complete nothingness...

A float tank (also known as sensory deprivation tank or isolation tank) is like an enclosed bathtub with a door that never locks, filled with a water solution saturated by 1000 lbs of Epsom salt. More buoyant than the Dead Sea, you effortlessly float inside the tank which is body temperature-regulated, soundproof and lightproof to reduce all sensory input. The purpose of floating in a warm, quiet and dark environment? To give your body and mind the reaction to a lack of external stimulation - complete rest.

The deep relaxation achieved through floating allows the body to recover from stress by reducing stress-related hormones like cortisol. It relieves you of chronic pain. Blood flows more efficiently and uninterrupted throughout your muscle tissue. Endorphins are the β€œfeel-good” chemicals that are naturally released, similar to when exercising. Brain-wave activity is lowered to the theta state which usually takes people years to achieve through meditation - but floating gets you there effortlessly!
