Floating Euphoria

We want to provide our customers with a unique experience of total relaxation. In a fast pace world, step into our premises for an experience to wash all your outside pressures away. A place where all your worries, stresses, aches and pains can be removed by a blissful float within our Dream Pod float tanks. When people float they can experience creativity in their thinking, allowing emotional exp

ression to be released, in a relaxed meditative state. This makes floating a specific reliable tool for relaxing, placing people in a state of absolute rest. The concept for deep relaxation is something we are all searching for. The benefit of floatation helps provide the best environment for people to experience deep levels of relaxation through early stages of floating. The advantage being, floaters do not need to learn any special technique to trigger this response. It develops naturally and harmoniously within the first 20min inside the tank. The deep relaxation that occurs to someone when they enter a relaxed floating state slows down the bodily functions. This activity relaxes the brain and slows down the mind with no outside harassment, calming the mind. Allowing the conscious, rational and logical part of the mind to enter a deep state of rest. This shift is important because it allows the left hemisphere of the brain to decrease its activity, allowing the right side of the brain to be accessed. The float tanks have a high concentration of Epson salts, approximately 250kg to 500Lt of water. This creates our floating environment providing water as dense as the Dead Sea allowing you float weightless without the affects of gravity. The tanks are heated to average skin temperature 34.5C, allowing you to loose track of your body in the float. A single float can last between 1-2hrs, usually in silence and darkness, but if needed light or music can be used. Apart from general relaxation, floatation therapy has been shown to reduce acute and chronic pain, lower perceived levels of stress, anxiety, depression, reduce feelings of fatigue and insomnia. Floating has been around since 1954, when Dr John C Lilly a medical practitioner and neuro psychiatrist was training in psychoanalysis. He was researching the origin of consciousness and it’s relation to the brain. This lead to the creation of many different kinds of floatation tanks, evolving into what we have today. The main objective of Dr Lilly was to create a device that would deprive or restrict the number of external stimuli so that the brain and the individual could be tested in an atmosphere of isolation. Originally these devices were called sensory deprivation chambers but in recent years the terminology has changed to R.E.S.T Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy.
