After I got a bit more comfortable, I decided
to close the lid to see if it made any
difference. That was when I was taken aback.
Instead of that sense of dread I imagined, I
felt safe and warm and like nothing could
harm me. This was the feeling I've been
looking for and didn't even realise it. I floated
in the pod with nothing but the sound of my
breathing and my thoughts to keep me
company. Now ask yourself this: when have
you ever experienced such sublime silence?
I fell into a deep state of relaxation. I couldn't
feel the heaviness of my body or my tired,
aching muscles and slowly but surely as I lay
there floating, the worries of the day left me.
Calmness washed over me. The things that
stressed me out, suddenly felt insignificant. I
felt safe and warm in my cocoon and I loved
it. Did I have to leave my new founded
tranquillity?
I guess all good things must come to an end.
Not in this instance. Stepping out of the pod
and under the hot shower I was blown away
at how I felt. I was floating, yes, even after
coming out of the pod .My muscles weren't
stiff anymore, in fact, I wondered if they even
worked at all since I couldn't feel them. I felt
light as a feather without a care in the world.
To say that I was at peace with my mind,
body and soul was an understatement.
However, being the sceptic that I am, I was
keen to see the after effects of the floating. I
got home and as always I anticipated the usual
whining and nagging from the kids. Yes! that's
exactly what happened but what confused the
kids was why I couldn't seem to muster any
annoyance, let alone anger when they
complained about each other and how
miserably bored they were. It confused me as
well. This new found bliss seemed to last for
days. light as a feather without a care in the
world.
So here's the facts guys:
- The pods are full of Epsom salts, approx.
500 kg, which makes you float effortlessly.
-Floating decompresses the spine and joints.
-The Epsom salts draws out toxins from our
bodies.
- Floating is a sensory deprivation therapy.
- It is a safe and healthy way to decrease
muscle tension, anxiety and stress.
- It's the perfect option for that quiet time
we crave so often but never seem to get.
- The water is heated to skin temperature.
- It improves quality of sleep and sleep
patterns.
- It is also recommended for those suffering
with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Scoliosis,
Parkinson's, PTSD, Depression, Lyme's,
and more.
