Hello to you all,

We hope the transition out of lock down has been kind to you and that you are looking after yourself well. We have been busier than ever and have loved seeing your faces, new and old.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week!

It is the perfect time to be thinking about our mental health; considering the challenges of the last year and the current changes as things start to open again. It’s so important to check in with yourself and to make sure you’re building in the time and activities that you need.

Floating helps to focus your mind inwards where you can find a place of calm relaxation with nothing external to process. It supports clear thinking, enhanced creativity and can lead to insightful experiences. Take the time to quiet your mind, reflect and meditate.

Floating also stimulates our Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS). This pathway is concerned with detoxifying, nourishing, repairing and relaxing us. Not only does this reduce stress responses, it also can cultivate a higher tolerance for stress, which last for days.

The PSNS is opposite to the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS). The SNS is associated with protection, and commonly the ‘fight or flight’ response. On the other hand, the activation of the PSNS can lower many of the hormones and bodily chemicals related to stress and stress-related illness, depression and anxiety. There is also evidence that floating supports the increase of the feel good hormones – dopamine and endorphins – usually associated with exercise.

Last but not least, nearly every single person who has floated with us has had an amazing nights sleep afterwards! This has been linked to the increase of certain hormones, decrease of others and the cultivation of deep relaxation (possibly the absorption of magnesium too). How ever it works, we all love it!

You can find out more about how floating works using the About Floatation tab. Watch this space, as we are currently reading lots of research and creating new content!
