Deprivation or Isolation Tank?

Why are there are three names for one amazing experience! Some refer to the tank as a floatation tank while others say deprivation or isolation. Words can have an interesting impact on ones emotions; either supporting the desire for the experience or creating a little hesitancy.

From my perspective the tank offers effortless floating while depriving the body and mind of external input in an isolated environment. Where else would we get this sort of experience? Of course it’s the FLOAT TANK! Even the word tank is interesting when people consider stepping into a “tank”, could sound scary and yet it is the safest and most sacred experience one could have when approaching with an open mind.

Cara floating peacefully.

The experience one gets from stepping into a solution of 100 gallons of water and 800 lbs. of epson salt is like nothing else on this planet. Kudo’s to our founder; John C. Lilly for having the foresight as a visionary of current times of added stress in our society.

Forty years since the birth of floating and still the general public struggles to understand this phenomenon; to ponder the thought of climbing into the tank; into an unknown experience and the deepest form of relaxation and rejuvenation known to the planet. At least for most!

Others may listen to the idea of floating; ponder yet never get to experience the silence of the sounds of the inner landscape of our being. Some may never take the plunge to hear the sweet sounds of their own heart or the oxygen flowing ever so gently into and out of the lungs or hear the spine as it realigns itself to it’s natural state of perfection. And yet others will take the plunge and experience themselves at the deepest levels of being, simply being in the silence, the experience of a connection to themselves and a higher consciousness.

Is the Isolation, Deprivation, or Floatation experience calling out to you? If so, don’t keep putting this off, your body and mind so need this time out from this game of life.

We are here for you in a sweet little town of West Boylston, MA where the water is surrounded by wooded area and wild life. Located in a strip mall with a fabulous healthy pet food store, Maggies and next to our town Post Office. Two great places to eat lunch or dinner in our lot for after your float or before. Just don’t eat too much before your float, you will spend your time listening to your digestive system process and assimilate your meal.

Schedule your appointment as walk-ins run the risk of not getting to float when they arrive.

Floating a Crystalline AWAKENING

Awaken in the waters of crystalline salts!

Floating: It’s For Real, It’s Good For You, And It’s Not Just For Hippies

Becca Borawski Jenkins

Managing Editor

It took 850 pounds of Epsom salt, but I floated. For the first time in my life I floated. Last month I visited Float On, a business located in the Hawthorne district of Portland, Oregon. Float On is part of a new movement in entrepreneurship – providing sensory deprivation tanks for rent by the hour.

floating, floatation tank, john c. lilly, sensory deprivation tank Floatation tanks, also known as isolation tanks and sensory deprivation tanks, were first developed by John C. Lilly in 1954. In the 1970s the practice also became known as REST, or Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy. While the connotation attached to the tanks has varied over the years, it has been used to effectively treat everything from stress and anxiety, to migraines, to chronic pain and fibromyalgia, to mental disorders. Given its supposed benefits, both mental and physical, one would think it could make a good recovery practice for athletes.

It was from this perspective, that of an athlete, that I approached floating. I had long been encouraged by a couple fellow martial artists to give it a shot. They insisted I would enjoy it, but I don’t swim, and more importantly, I’ve never even figured out how to float, so the whole thing seemed quite daunting. I also get vertigo whenever I can’t see a horizon line, so I really wasn’t sure floating was for me. Ninety minutes of floating, at that.

But I was told everyone can float in a floatation tank. The high level of Epsom salt in the water, 850lbs according to Float On, will keep anybody on top of the water. The water itself is kept at roughly skin temperature, with the idea that you don’t feel it against you. You are given the option to wear earplugs, which I did, and you disrobe entirely. The tank is soundless and lightless inside, and unless you reach out with your arms to touch the sides of the tank, you quickly lose sense of time and physical orientation.

As it turned out, getting into the tank and getting situated was the most awkward part, and once I was able to relax, it became quite pleasant and some of the best sleep I had in a long time. After getting in, I hung onto a pipe on the wall for a while. I was afraid if I let go of it my vertigo would kick in. Since I had the earplugs in, all I could hear was the rhythm of my breathing. After a while I decided to just hold onto a ledge at the side of the tub with the tips of the fingers of one hand. I practiced relaxing my neck and letting the water creep up on my face. Then I finally let go. Everything started spinning and I sat up with a splash, pawed at the walls, and reoriented myself. It’s actually not easy to sit upright in water that salty. And then I went through the whole process again. Logically, it was very silly. The salt water was eleven inches deep and the tank was shaped such that I couldn’t possibly change direction without bumping into a wall. But logic and emotion and instinct are not necessarily companions.

floating, floatation tank, john c. lilly, sensory deprivation tank Eventually, at some point, after who knows how much time had passed, I let go - physically and mentally.Turns out it’s scientifically proven that loss of sensory input results in relaxation of the body. So, my friends were right, no matter how my body resisted it, I was bound to relax. According to a 1999 research study, during floatation there is an increase in the theta waves in our brain.¹ Theta waves have been shown in other studies to be activated by meditation.² They are also the brain waves active during REM sleep and the drowsiness immediately before and after sleeping.

In addition to increasing the positive theta brain waves, floating has been shown to reduce unwanted negative activity in the body. According to the same 1999 study, “Plasma and urinary cortisol, ACTH [adrenocorticotropic hormone], aldosterone, renin activity, ephinephrine, heart rate, and blood pressure, all directly associated with stress, consistently decrease.”³

That’s a lot of big words and a lot of references to body functions you may not recognize. Long story short, floatation makes your brain happy and reduces stress all over your body. And science backs this up. A 2001 study found spending time in the floatation tank showed a strong ability to reduce severe pain, increase optimism, and decrease anxiety and depression. In addition, study participants fell asleep easier following floatation tank treatment and experienced a higher quality of sleep.⁴

And if that’s not enough for you, it turns out floating in Epsom salt has benefits in and of itself.Epsom salt is comprised of magnesium and sulfate. According to the National Academy of Sciences most Americans are deficient in magnesium. Raising your magnesium levels can improve your circulation, improve your body’s ability to use insulin, ease muscle pain, regulate electrolytes, and relieve stress.⁵

floating, floatation tank, john c. lilly, sensory deprivation tank According to the Universal Health Institute:

Although magnesium can be absorbed through the digestive tract, many foods, drugs and medical conditions can interfere with the effectiveness of this delivery method. Therefore, soaking in an Epsom Salt bath is one of the most effective means of making the magnesium your body needs readily available.

Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which medical research indicates are needed for the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Studies show that sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help to detoxify the body’s residue of medicines and environmental contaminants. Studies indicate that sulfates are difficult to absorb from food, but are readily absorbed through the skin.

Plus when you get out your skin will be all exfoliated and soft. Actually, your whole being will feel exfoliated and soft. So much so that you might feel a bit disoriented and woozy for a while, but you’ll also feel really happy and at ease and you won’t much care.

Whatever your feelings are about floating, whether you think it’s for hippies or you’re worried about turning into a monkey-man a la Altered States, I would suggest letting go of that and giving it a try. I would suggest letting go altogether and experiencing what floating can do for both your mind and your body.

Offering floatation in MA for over thirteen years.

Tips:

Cover any cuts you have on your body with Vaseline. Open skin doesn’t feel good when it comes in contact with the Epsom salt.
You might have difficulty relaxing your neck on your first session. Bringing a small floatation device to tuck under your neck will help. You can use your arms to hold up your head, but then you don’t truly relax.
Try not to have expectations of what your experience will be. Some people float for transcendental purposes, some just float to relax. You will enjoy it more if you let it be whatever it is for you, and know it might be different every time.
Bring a brush if you have long hair. Trying to handle salt-soaked long hair after getting out of the tank isn’t the most fun.
Don’t have anything scheduled following your float. You are going to be one mellow cat for at least a day or two. Plan on comfy clothes and long weekend of lounging.

“AWAKE” The life of yogananda

Why it’s important to view this documentary; ” AWAKE The Life of Yogananda.”

In my early 20’s, I was blessed to have a friend who was somewhat older and going through an awakening of her own. We lived quite a distance apart from one another yet kept in contact with the ups and downs of each other’s lives.

Circumstances of having children at an early age, two babies and a full-time job. Many of us know what this is all about, it’s a lot of work. We are talking about the early eighties when marriage was about the woman working outside the home and doing everything inside the home. I am pretty sure this was called the Peter Pan Syndrome. Needless to say, it was exhausting.

Getting back to this friend of mine, Donna. Donna recommended strongly that I read Autobiography of a Yogi, so I did. Reading this book led me to the next thing learning more about meditation through Yoganandas’ teachings. Fortunately for us he started the Self-Realization Fellowship in California years before he passed. I scraped my pennies together at that time, two babies and just starting out money was tight. I ordered the lessons and began to practice the energy exercises and meditation every chance I got. Every nap time and early morning before the babies woke up I would sit in silence. Dedication and practice led to one of the most amazing blissful experiences of my life. One amazing meditation keeps me going back for more.

I have been practicing and studying since. Yes, there are times I had wandered away from the lessons and the practice yet life always returns me to what I know. In 2007 I began to teach meditation and went on to study metaphysical science to earn my degree in Metaphysical Science, not your academic degree, yet it earned me the right to practice as a minister.

My catholic upbringing taught me discipline in prayer meditation is something that resembles prayer. There are two styles that I practice, the first is Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda and the other is more the metaphysical way or believing that something is already and holding the universe accountable for manifesting. Both are powerful yet the teachings of Kriya are more in alignment with what I have learned from my studies in Polarity Therapy.

It’s important to realize that Dr. Stone, founder of Polarity, had studied the bible to learn English, traveled to the Orient, studied medicine, and went on to live his life out with his Guru in India. This makes perfect sense when we recognize that Polarity Therapy is a tool to help navigate this human existence by balancing the three principles of motion; Rajas, Tamas, and Sattva. According the the ancient scriptures, these three principles of energies bind us to the physical body, our mission in life is to find our way back to our creator, GOD.

Yogananda a spiritual being living in a human body was self-realized, his work through his humanness was to teach millions of people how to navigate this earth plane with a focus on opening the energy centers. The energy centers, according to ancient scriptures are the very centers in which the spirit comes into the physical body and the place in which the spirit leaves the physical body. It is here that we understand the Guna’s and the elements, the importance of balance, and the impact each has on our navigation here on earth. The documentary will be eye opening, an opportunity to understand deeply the process of life is to witness a being as realized as Yogananda was.

It is with honor that I invite you to share in this documentary with me. I will be viewing this along with you on the 21st of August for the first time and I can’t tell you how exciting it is.

I hope that in my sharing with you a little bit about one of the great beings that came to this planet to educate us that you too can find your peace in knowing.

Blessings, Tina

Yoga Journey

Growing in popularity, yoga has become one of the main activities, almost as popular as going to the gym if not more. Who’s doing yoga? Everyone, from young kids to elders. Why? The benefits of yoga are endless, a mind body connection, greater focus, awareness of the physical in space, and most of all a deepened connection to self-realization.

There are many forms of yoga and yet the public seems to be less informed about the styles and more familiar with the word “yoga”. If I were to offer a class on Kriya Yoga I am sure students would wonder how difficult the postures were. The fact is that the only posture required is the ability to sit with the spine as straight as possible and a desire to focus on the breath and a single point.

Going back to the greater meaning of Yoga, communion with God, a posture, vigorous movement, hot rooms, restorative postures, or simply sitting, are all ways in which we support the energy centers of the body. Realizing our greater potential with a deeper connection and awareness to the flow of energy, or blockages in our energy field. The practice of Yoga is critical to quality of life, whether it is simply sitting, engaging in Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, QiGong, TaiChi, Kriya, Raja, the goal is the same… communion with GOD!

Strike a pose

The ultimate goal is to carry through the day our attention and focus to the God in all living things. Starting our children in the practice of Yoga, whether movement or meditative teaches them to quiet the mind, connect with a greater presence, become more intuitive, make decisions that are aligned with goodness, and maintain emotional health and well-being.

In my teaching of YOGA, I combine QiGong, Polarity Yoga, Kriya, and TaiChi to keep it interesting as well as focused on those in the class. If a student has a knee challenge, back challenge, physical limitation of any kind, modification is necessary. What is most important is allowing students space to be in the moment whether in motion or in stillness and experience a Divine Presence within.

Great balance kids

Classes for Adults, Kids, and Family are offered year round. Visit the website for a schedule and to connect with the energy of each class and instructor, most importantly your energy and deeper presence.

Pain Management Floatation (REST Therapy)

Floatation is an all natural paid reducing machine. Personally, I have been using floatation as my own pain reducing medicine for the past thirteen years. In 1997 and 1998 I had to undergo surgeries to correct a bulging disc and herniated disc, this was before I had learned of floatation therapy. Today, if diagnosed with these challenge I would have opted to float and allow the water to correct the problem.

Fortunately for me, anytime my spine is overworked and begins to tighten I float. As soon as I feel a twinge of the old pain of being unable to walk, sciatic flare up, muscles along the spine tightening, I float. Within the next hour or so all muscles let go, I hear my spine adjust to it’s natural alignment and I am able to go about my day pain free.

Pain Reduction

One of the most profound experiences of pain reduction happened one early morning upon wakening with pain so severe in my cervical vertebrae that putting my head down on the pillow was impossible. Since it was only 3 am, I was not ready to wake up, instead I floated for the next 3 1/2 hours. Upon emerging from the tank the only discomfort I felt was slight tenderness. Within a day the pain subsided to 0 on a scale of 0-10.

Here is a study on Floatation (REST Therapy) that describes scientifically why floating is so wonderful for pain management.

http://www.floatsummit.net/images/fibromyalgia/floatation-helps-fibromyalgia-usa.pdf

I understand the pain associated from back challenges and as a center providing one I understand that for some it’s a financial hardship to float. Unfortunately floatation for pain is not covered by insurance companies and it becomes an out of pocket expense. With this in mind, anyone suffering from chronic pain and looking for a drug free method of reducing pain is welcome to float at a reduced rate. A Dr. note is required to eligible for this discount. Please contact me, Tina, if you are someone who would like to float for pain reduction. I am happy to support you with a discount for a float package.

Please email or call; [email protected] or 508-612-7488 to discuss your options.

A Great FLOAT

A great float begins before you arrive:

NO CAFFEINE

Limit your use of caffeine

Do not shave, the salt stings for a few minutes if you do.

Wear glasses and remove your contacts.

Come with an open mind.

Enjoy your unique experience.

Make sure you have the correct address before you set out to drive.

Do come in hydrated, weekend floating after a late night of alcohol is not the best experience.

Hydrate!

No need to add recreational drugs to float, the experience is enough to create the high you are looking for.

Cara floating for peace

Watch the orientation and then schedule your float appointment in our isolation tank.

Enjoy your float!

Thirteen Years Offering Floatation MA

FIRST TANKS IN MA

The first tanks in MA as far as I know date back to the 70’s, one situated in Cambridge MA, and the other in Worcester MA. My understanding is that this tank was on the 7th floor of the building and owned by Tank himself. I heard stories of how Tank carried the 800 lbs. of Epson Salt up to the 7th floor, seems like a grueling task to me. This is all hear say as I gathered my information from floaters who came to my first location in Auburn, MA.

In 2002 The Crystalline Matrix was the only center in MA offering floatation. The Crystalline Matrix offered floatation from 2002 through 2005, at that time the decision to sell the tank came from a failed business partnership and a downsizing for myself with the focus to my holistic practice. In 2007 I decided to purchase another tank and was located in Shrewsbury on route 9 at which time the business name was still The Crystalline Matrix. Today, the business is name Crystalline/AWAKEN as a result of merging the learning center. My decision to purchase another tank was based solely on my own desire to float, I did no advertising and decided if people float they float. When the phone began to ring off the wall for floating I wondered what was happening? Of course I asked the clients coming to float where they heard of floatation. They explained that they heard Joe Rogan on the radio; of course I asked who is Joe Rogan? Well, I know now and if I could I would thank him personally for his ability to reach the masses to the benefits of floatation. Since then floatation has continued to remain steady with floaters traveling from many different areas and nearby states to experience floating.

Intelligence

Observations of NEW FLOAT CENTERS

Throughout the past thirteen years I watched three other locations bring floatation to their centers in New England. What happened to them? Well, this is all so interesting and I have many clients ask me about what I have witnessed through the years.

Because all three of these locations were set up differently there isn’t one answer. My guess is that two of them went too big too fast and the other appeared to be a failed business partnership as well. It is easy to fall prey to the manufacturers who of course want to sell tanks and have seen the success in other states. California, Oregan, Indiana, all seem to have huge success with floatation. What about MA some may wonder? Well, in the thirteen years of offering floatation and cycling through the ups and the downs, my answer is that we have a long way to go to be where some of the other states are.

There was a float center opened in NH, he went in with several tanks to start and failed in less than a year. Another in Burlington MA went in with several tanks and from what I understand, due to the ignorance of the health department to floatation was mandated to provide a life guard on duty during floating. This is ludicrous to many as one would need to be forcibly held under water to drown. The stinging of the salt would awaken anyone, and the ability to turn over while floating requires more effort than the relaxed client would ever put into it. In thirteen years I have never heard anyone say they turned over while floating. They have reported getting salt in their eyes and having to deal with that in order to return to their relaxed state. I highly recommend not scratching that itch on the face in order to avoid this.

Manufacturers Financial Projections

As you can see with the stories above, the cost to running a center with that amount of overhead is astronomical. If the tanks are all full at a cost of $60 per hour times 6 tanks it is logical to think you are making $360. an hour. Well, we are not there yet and it is not happening. This is the same reason I have hesitated to add another tank. Each tank requires it’s own shower, add the cost of the tank to the cost of the build out and you are up into some high figures. Of course we need to consider return on investment. It will take some time to get that money back.

Creative Strategies to Low Cost

There are ways to keep this cost down and that is to do what I did when I moved from the original location. Yes, we installed the plumbing and did a build out in Auburn back in 2002 and since then the cost to do this has quadrupled. When I moved from there I found locations that had an existing shower. Was the set up ideal you wonder? No, it was not, yet the people who were floating were so excited to float that they did not care about the fact that they floated in one room and showered in another.

Today the shower is literally next to the tank, the new center it is getting installed directly in front of the tank, that is ideal!

It’s About the Mission

I am excited about the providing the floatation in the new center yet it has never been about the finances, it is about the awakening process. It is a path for those who may not choose polarity therapy, hypnosis, yoga, meditation. It is for many the time out in solitude that offers a chance to deepen to something magical, a connection with a higher guidance, to gain insight to who they are and why they are here? It is my only hope that those who open centers in the future stay focused on the depth of the experience and not on the $$$. When we do what we love to do the universe provides. My passion is to support others through the process of awakening and floatation is one of the avenues to this evolutionary process.

Cara floating for peace

What I am looking for through this contest is to get the skeptical intrigued, the sometime in the future floater to act now, and the masses to awaken in this part of the country. Quite honestly after thirteen years I would have thought we would be much further ahead of this than we are. I need your help to continue the enlightenment process.

Let me inspire you with the master of floating, Mr. Joe Rogan

I can’t begin to repeat the amazing conversations I have had with floater’s through the years. The level of enlightenment is so refreshing to me as I sit and listen to not only their experience of the float but the level of insight to the meaning of life. Honestly, I could sit and chat with floaters all day long because of the depth of conversation we engage in.

We have the contest now and I am looking for anyone who has floated or has some unique experience in the work place that relates to awakening in some way to record an interview with me. Do let me know who you are and let’s share some of these amazing conversations with the public.

The rules to the video contest are easy to follow, a little bit of copy and paste and then promote it to as many as you can for a large number of shares and likes.

Schedule your float appointment and ask for details. We can video you and post to our YouTube account. Once completed, we share to your facebook page and you go to town to promote it.

Your video can be done anytime after your float, it is not the immediate response, however that is great as well. Tell your audience what you love about floating. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Best of luck to you with your entry. PS, even if you don’t win, your entry earns you one free float after the winner has been selected! This is a great opportunity to experience floating more often. A video after the winner has floated 10 times would be a bonus to the public. We can talk about that later, until then, best to you!

Small Town Floating

Experience Peace Before & After your float!

Early Morning Walk

Conversations with floater’s over the years have provided such insight into what makes the experience enjoyable. I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with so many people from so many backgrounds, and many who want to experience a deeper meaning to life.

Today I met with one of the early morning floaters who shared with me that floating in a small town in the country supported the whole experience of peace and calm. No rushing out to heavy traffic and horns honking. The peace continues on the journey home with the possibility of stopping at the Old Stone Church in West Boylston to enjoy the peace found in nature.

Peacefulness in nature presented itself this morning as I headed out for an early morning walk with the dogs. One would imagine running into another early morning dog walker; in this case a fox stands on the edge of the woods. Events like this help me to appreciate all nature has to offer. A couple streets away from my home in Boylston I can hear the sound of the rooster who seems to be as aware as I am of the presence of the fox. The fox fades into the trees and the sounds of the chickens and roosters become louder as if they are warning each other of the potential danger.

Peaceful Summertime

My five mile drive over to the West side of Boylston offers the connection with the Turkey life as they extend their wings as if to say good morning. On the way home it’s not unusual to see the deer gracefully claiming their territory of the woods.

For anyone driving in from 495 to 140 the beauty of the reservoir is breath taking. In the winter months it’s not unusual to see the crossing of coyote as they navigate the ice and the land in their business of hunting. The travel from the Route 2 and I-190 offer the traveler more breath taking views of nature, particularly in the spring, summer, and fall. The greenery this time of year is outstanding.

As a float provider, the best part of offering floatation is that I have discovered that there are a lot more people in this area who are welcoming the idea of awakening in a whole new way. Most floaters are people who are connecting with nature, a deeper part of who they are and why they are here. Connecting with nature supports this awakening process. I loved hearing a client express the idea of holding the float experience in a small town just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Excellent feedback for me in consideration to a second location, should that opportunity present itself in the future.

On another note; very happy to see that Massachusetts is opening up to what Oregon and California have been doing for years. Oh well, we know we are a little slower to open up to the less than main stream activities.

Offering floating since 2002, the first location was challenging to some as the traffic was a little distracting, and leaving the parking lot was the next challenge. With many locations, including the home based, all have their ups and their downside. Ideally a tank deep in the woods would be best, since that is not possible we settle into the quaintness of small town of Boylston and West Boylston.

A brief update on the move: The wheels are in motion, it should not be long before the tank joins the rest of the amazing offerings at our center in West Boylston.

Finally Moving Forward

FLOAT TANK IS FINALLY COMING TO WEST BOYLSTON

Out new space!

Just yesterday I received word from the Architectural Access Board that I have their permission to go ahead and put the tank at the new center where everything else is happening. Yeah!

Moving there without the tank has felt like leaving one of your kids at home. Floatation has become such a huge part of the business that having it stay behind in the old location just feels wrong. Now that I have permission to move the tank I face the next challenge. Strategically planning the cost associated with the final phase of the build out. Stretching, imagining, and possible bartering, I am determined to bring the tank home to it’s new location to complete the center.

It’s exciting to bring the tank over to West Boylston! For those of you who are not aware; when I started my polarity practice in 1999 I was across the street from this new location. Something keeps bringing me back to this town, not sure what it is but West Boylston is an awesome little town and central to so many major routes and highways. It makes perfect sense to be there.

As I anticipate the tank up and running in West Boylston I see the need to eventually hire someone who can manage the front of the space as well as support the floaters. This is very exciting time for Crystalline Awaken, it is the next stage of expansion, one that became very necessary in order to get the idea of floating in front of so many more people. I am looking forward to seeing a big expansion with the opening with the floatation tank room. It’s exciting to look at the plans; shower directly in front of the tank, an ideal situation, space for hanging the clothes, towel storage, bathrooms right next to the tank room, it really doesn’t get any better than this.

For the next few weeks I will carefully plan this move out to bring it to completion as quickly as possible. At the present time I am surveying all the current floaters and future floaters to determine which factors are most important to people. As I see it right now, it appears this location will be inviting, hours will be expanded to offer evening appointments during the week. There is a meditation space right outside of the float room for anyone wishing to arrive early or waiting for someone. And there is plenty to do in West Boylston for the person waiting, trails, water, scenery, it’s just a beautiful little town to visit.

From many major highways our location intersects with 140, traveling from Leominster, Lancaster, Princeton, Holden, Marlboro, Northboro, Westboro, Worcester, Boston, Springfield, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or local residents, it’s an easy and pleasant travel.

I would like to highly encourage floaters to book their appointments in advance, take advantage of the specials that I will be sending out. Check emails, these are how the specials are delivered. I look forward to a waiting list to float, and you should to. Book ahead and pay ahead for the discounts, make sure you get yourself in now.

It’s happening… finally!!!! I hope you are as excited as I am to see this happening later than I anticipated but happening still.

See you soon! Remember that you can always add bodywork to the float session or simply sit in the meditation space and maximize your visit. We offer organic teas, water, and comfort for your wait time. You may want to read a little, we have a shop copy of the Book of Floating for those who want to know more about what they are doing in the tank.

Many Blessings for this Awakening Process!

Tina
