Have you ever heard of floating? It’s the newest trend in self-care and relaxation, and it’s not hard to see why. Floating is the practice of floating in a sensory deprivation tank or pod filled with water and Epsom salt. The tanks are soundproof and lightproof, and the temperature of the water is kept at body temperature to create a weightless environment.
But how do you float? When should you float? And why should you float? Let’s break it down.
How to Float
Floating is easy. You simply climb into a sensory deprivation tank or pod and relax. The water is filled with Epsom salt, which creates buoyancy and allows the body to float effortlessly. The tanks are soundproof and lightproof, eliminating external stimuli. Some people prefer to wear earplugs and eye masks to further reduce external stimuli.
Once inside the tank, you can choose to float in complete silence or listen to calming music. Some tanks even have the option of adding essential oils to enhance the sensory deprivation experience.
When to Float
You can float anytime you need a break from the stresses of daily life. Floating is an excellent way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and relieve anxiety. It can be especially beneficial for those who suffer from chronic pain, muscle tension, or insomnia.
Some people prefer to float in the morning to start their day off with a sense of calm and clarity. Others prefer to float in the evening to unwind after a long day. Regardless of when you choose to float, the benefits are the same.
Why Float?
Floating has a wide range of benefits, both physical and mental. Physically, floating can help reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and improve circulation. Mentally, floating can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety and depression, and promote deep relaxation.
Floating also provides a unique opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and focus on yourself. With no external stimuli, the mind can enter a meditative state, promoting mental clarity and creativity.
In addition, floating is a form of self-care that can be easily incorporated into any wellness routine. It’s a chance to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and focus on your own well-being.
In conclusion, floating is an excellent way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Whether you choose to float in the morning or evening, in complete silence or with calming music, the benefits are undeniable. So why not give floating a try and see for yourself how it can improve your life?
