Floatation
Indianapolis

During a float, your body is suspended in 10 inches of water that is heated to the same temperature as your skin and contains 900 lbs of Epsom salts. The Epsom salts, by themselves, have a wide range of incredible health benefits, but aside from that the experience is a weightlessness that is often described as like being in space or achieving neutral buoyancy while scuba diving.

Your body fully relaxes – and you really don’t realize how un-relaxed your body normally is until it fully unwinds in a float tank – and your mind is free to relax in nothingness, reflect on solutions to your concerns, or simply wander into other realms and states.

The ultimate goal is for your brain to achieve a Theta state, which brings forward heightened receptivity, flashes of dreamlike imagery and inspiration.

Floating increases production of:

• Endorphins – the body’s natural pain killer and inflammation reducer
• Serotonin – a primary contributor to feelings of well-being and happiness
• Dopamine – associated with feelings of motivation and reward

Simultaneously, floating decreases production of stress markers:

• Adrenaline – the “fight or flight” hormone
• Cortisol – an established stress-marker in the body
• Norepinephrin – another known marker of nervous system stress

While everyone will experience these brain benefits on some level, the experiential reality for most people – in the beginning, at least – is somewhere in the middle of the range of possible experiences. Nobody should expect an “Altered States” experience or immediate cessation of that back pain that’s been plaguing them for 20 years. But what we promise everyone is a unique and thoroughly pleasant experience that is unlike any you’ve tried before, with the potential for deeply profound experiences that come with float practice.
