    When I was under extreme stress at work, I LOVED floating. My work was loud and chaotic, and I'd float without light or music. I'd leave feeling like I'd had a massage and a great night's sleep. I changed jobs and my resting stress level decreased by about 90%. The first time I floated after starting my new lower stress job, it was still nice, but I got bored near the end, and didn't leave with the super relaxed feeling.

    My first time was awesome!!! I was stoked. I bought the monthly unlimited right after I got out. I went and told everyone I ran into, whether I knew them or not. I convinced one friend to go and I bought a gift certificate for another friend and his wife.
    The 2nd time (next day) was meh. Very disappointing. Had that been the first time I would have said "thanks, it was worth a try, but not for me." I'm going to keep up with the sessions, but I would suggest if anyone tries this, to get a 3 or 5 visit package. Use it every week or so. Don't just jump in and get an unlimited monthly package cuz you loved your first time.

    I work at a float spa on the weekends. It’s truly the single most beneficial activity that has saved me from my own mind.
    I’ve learned to think clearly with an open heart, about my life and experiences. My threshold for stress and anxiety is much more robust. And my favorite, it allows me to help individuals on the first float experience, and witness the change in their overall being after the float. Upside down frowns in 60 mins.

    Is there no value to the Epsom salt that is required to make you float? An Epsom salt bath and some meditation leaves people feeling more relaxed afterwards too but doesn't put $60+ into the economy each time...
    Is it just the floating feeling they are selling while we neglect the value of the transdermally absorbed Epsom salt that can be purchased for pennies? Is the "technology" of a tank of salt water what is so good for us or is it the silence in a crazy world of noise and distraction.
    You can't float like that in normal water so there is no way to test that part. Now for the twist...
    However the data goes, I absolutely love float tanks and think everyone should give them a try.

      There's like 800 pounds or more of Epsom salt in a float tank. Which is a lot of money, that you definitely wouldn't want to drain after one use. You're getting a lot of benefits from that much epsom salt

    That's great, but has it actually made you more resilient and able to handle more stressors? or is it just something that you feel like you need to have, like a crutch? I would genuinely like to know whether it has improved your condition. it's okay if it hasn't i just want to know

      I did it once, and am about to do a second. I felt significantly more energized after the first one, which I attribute to absorbing so much magnesium. It's not the sensory deprivation, because that doesn't actually happen. It's a great therapeutic!

  • @DrPatriciaWorby

    I tried it but felt quite claustrophobic at first. There was no way I wanted to pull the lid down completely that felt like being in a coffin. I guess everyone is different in this respect and largely it depends on your experience of dark spaces (if they were traumatic then likely you might struggle). However it is an interesting experience and the data certainly looks positive. I am sure it must vary with the quality of the facilities and the welcome as ours was slightly disinterested and in a business park.

There are co-morbidities with other conditions that can make this harder or impossible for people to do.
