A couple of weeks ago, I tried float therapy. What a zen experience!

For those who are unaware, in float therapy, you float in a pod filled with salt water for a pre-determined period of time. They provide relaxing playlists, or you can bring your phone/iPod and play your own... which is what I did. After having experimented with breathwork several years ago, this seemed the ideal opportunity to play one of them—in a totally relaxed situation.

So, for an hour, I floated in this sensory deprivation chamber. Granted, with the playlist, it wasn’t true sensory deprivation—I may try that next time.

It was incredibly relaxing!

Occasionally, I’d float into the side of the pod and bump myself awake. You have surprisingly little control over staying still.

A couple of times, I floated into the speaker... the soundtrack of nature sounds and relaxing music rising to a crescendo as my ear drifted closer and closer to the speaker.

Then there were those moments when my joints would crack in the weightlessness. During my tour, I was informed a float is like getting a chiropractic adjustment—without the chiropractor. He wasn’t wrong.

The salon offered hour and ninety minute packages. I found the hour to be sufficient, as it is plenty of time to meditate, relax, and work out the kinks of life and everyday stress... but I’ll likely try ninety minutes anyway.

Two thumbs up. Highly recommend!
