Welcome to your Floating Experience

THE ART OF FLOATING

The practice of Floating or Sensory Deprivation Tank basically consists in the immersion of the body, for a controlled period of time, inside a tank duly isolated from external stimuli, containing water enriched with Epsom salt (sulphate of magnesium) and kept constantly at a temperature of 34.8°C.

The high concentration of salt, in addition to having a muscle relaxant function, allows the body to float in about 27 cm of saline solution without requiring any muscular effort, while maintaining the same temperature as that of the body allows the thermal stimulus to be canceled.

The unique egg-shaped construction of the tub creates an environment of sensory deprivation, external stimuli such as noise and light are left out, the boundaries expand, a new incredible experience begins. Even if the size and capacity of the tub (H = 1.5 m x L = 2.65 m x W = 1.65 m), are such as not to create any claustrophobic appeal in predisposed people, if preferred, the session can also take place with the tank open.

The absence of sensory stimuli leads to a deep psycho-physical relaxation inducing a state similar to half-sleep, but deeper also known as "Theta State". A feeling of peace is established, estranged from the world and sometimes even from one's body, comparable to what one wants to achieve with meditation or yoga.

At the beginning of the Floating session, a soft multicolored LED light and relaxing music of your choice will keep you company, destined to gradually fade away.

After about half an hour of suspension in the liquid, in the complete absence of stimuli, with the musculoskeletal structure no longer burdened by the need to maintain a correct gravitational buoyancy, one begins to feel the first signs that something unusual is happening to the body . The perception of bodily boundaries generally decreases until it vanishes, causing the person inside the tub to "free" himself from the awareness of possessing a body that limits and confines him to some extent.

The feeling of deep relaxation induced by this state induces what is called the "parasympathetic response". The whole body finds itself weakened by the constant commitment to monitor body temperature and gravitational balance (a commitment that normally occupies 90% of our resources), and begins to produce substances rich in beneficial effects such as endorphins. After an hour of permanence in this state, all bodily tensions have been eliminated, and even the previously accumulated psychological stress is largely disposed of. The brain and the entire nervous system are oriented towards a deep state of relaxation which reproduces the correct balance between body and mind.

In the deep relaxation phase, reachable through Floating, commonly called the Theta phase (from the name of the type of brain waves produced by the brain on this occasion), the mind is free to access a whole series of resources that it does not normally use and which are intimately linked to the sphere of creativity and intuition. The Theta phase is commonly associated with that state of trance, which Buddhist monks are able to access during meditation and which requires, in addition to innate abilities, constant and intense training to be achieved.

As the end of the 60-minute Floating session approaches, the music and lights will gradually reappear, to lead you towards awakening at the end of your experience.v
