Theta Floats

Specialties

Imagine yourself floating effortlessly in a quiet peaceful space… The stress of the day is far away. Your mind is free to drift and tension slowly melts away. While floating, you will be completely relaxed, suspended in a dense water solution of Epsom salt. This creates the effect of near zero gravity. Your body floats like a cork on the surface of the water. As you lay in absolute tranquility, every muscle is allowed to gradually relieve it’s functional tensions. Your entire body, including internal organs, muscles and bones will be, completely rested and at ease.​There is typically no light or sound, during your float session. The air and water are maintained at skin temperature​. Free from the functions of processing light, sound, temperature, gravitational forces and other sensations, the brain is able to expand into areas ordinarily inaccessible except during deep meditation. Thus, a wonderfully freeing and opening process begins to take effect, stress is left behind, healing takes place more rapidly, learning and creativity is enhanced, sudden insights and inspirations may unfold and problems are more easily solved. Feelings of profound peace and joy are induced by the release of endorphin’s the body’s natural mood elevators and pain reducers. A beautiful silence is experienced and a lightness of being that cannot be felt in any other way unfolds.

​After your float you’ll feel positively refreshed, rejuvenated and calm, a feeling that can last for days.

History

Established in 2015.

The isolation tank was developed in 1954 by John C. Lilly, a medical practitioner and neuropsychiatrist. During his training in psychoanalysis at the US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), In neurophysiology, there had been an open question about what keeps the brain going and the origin of its energy sources. One hypothesis was that the energy sources are biological and internal and do not depend upon the outside environment. It was argued that if all stimuli are cut off to the brain then the brain would go to sleep. Lilly decided to test this hypothesis and, with this in mind, created an environment which isolated an individual from external stimulation. From here, he studied the origin of consciousness and its relation to the brain.

Peter Suedfeld and Roderick Borrie of the University of British Columbia began experimenting on the therapeutic benefits of isolation tanks in the late 1970s. They named their technique «Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy» (REST).

After only one float in December I was hooked! I went home and had the best night, uninterupted, sleep ever. My mind was clear and focused and I just felt good from my soul out. I told my husband «everyone needs to do this, the world would be so much better if everyone floated». After a lot of long days and late nights We made it happen and here we are open less than 7 months later!
