HOW DOES IT HELP YOUR BODY? 15 Reasons to try this out at least once Floatation therapy is a truly unique experience where we lay still with no contact points, no movement, and no postural muscle action. When you’re free from gravity, your body has a chance to rest and recover up to 4 times faster than regular bed rest. This reduces blood pressure and oxygen intake, as well as, increases blood flow and distribution of red blood cells. The combined effects aid in flushing lactate, cortisone, and adrenaline that may have built up during exercise.In addition your cortisol levels drop while endorphins and dopamine secretion increases making you feel good with mood elevation. Floatation therapy also helps loosen the muscles and give athletes a greater degree of control over their nervous systems. This reduces the risk of injury, accelerates the recovery process, and releases vast quantities of endorphins. Endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller, help relieve pain from injuri...

A b o u t C o l o u r s C olours are our brain's interpretation of certain wavelengths of electromagnetic energy observed through our eyes. The actual color which we see is the part of the visible spectrum that is reflected back by a certain object. When all the colors of the rainbow are combined, the result is white light. Colours affect us in different ways Colour influences our mood and emotions. Colours have an impact on our sense of well-being or uneasiness.Using and avoiding certain colours is a way of self-expression; it reflects an aspect of our personality or mood. Colours affect our sense of perception (light colours make a space look big, a high ceiling looks less high when painted in a dark colour, etc.) Colours have a symbolic meaning which is recognized by our sub-conscious mind. Colours, as electromagnetic energy, may influence the flow of energy in our bodies. How Colors Help Us Heal True healing comes about when the cause of the condition or i...

WHAT IS AN ADDICTION? An addiction is a compulsion to do or have something, where the person feels as if they are not in control of their ability to say no, or stop doing something once they have started. Feelings of stress and/or anxiety can occur when the person cannot access or act out their compulsion. Compulsive behaviors or behavioral addictions can often be to things that are considered “normal” such as eating, exercise and shopping; however, there is a difference between someone who is occasionally over-indulging, and someone who cannot stop themselves. Addictions not only apply to alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes – it can present itself in other forms such as coffee, stealing, gambling, shopping, computer games, internet, cybersex,mobile  as well as normally healthy things, such as food/eating, sex, exercise, and work. It is known that withdrawal symptoms are created by an oversupply of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) norepinephrine in the limbic system (the ...

People use the floatation tank to turn off the noise from primary senses (visual, auditory & kinesthetic) and accelerate the transition from beta brain waves (normal state) to alpha (learning state) and ultimately theta (dream state). The process is similar to meditation, but a lot faster. Way faster and easier. It is like forced meditation without the pains of sitting up right and trying to detune the world around you. The goal with both meditation and floatation is to reach the theta state. This is a powerful state where you can consciously listen to your subconscious mind. Usually through a series of what appears to be auditory or visual hallucinations. Monks train years to do this through meditation while staying consciously awake. Your body does this naturally every night but you switch off, fall asleep. Recall those auditory or visual flashes you get before you off switch kicks in and you fall asleep. That’s a glimpse into theta state. In an isolation tank you are co...

  Floatation therapy has achieved remarkable success in easing chronic pains such as neck and back pain, and helps with correcting spinal misalignment issues in a regular treatment program. Statistics show that chronic back pain is next to heart disease. It is estimated that 70–90% of people will suffer from lower back pain in some form at some point in their lives. Origination and individual perception of pain are related to the degree of relaxation in the muscles and to the general degree of stress in the nervous system. The physical relaxation produced by the sensory deprivation tank makes it an extremely beneficial healing environment, especially for those with injuries or chronic pain. Since the effects and stresses of gravity are lessened, the body is able to more efficiently allocate its resources towards maintenance and healing.This alleviation in conjunction with other therapies like massage, yoga and other exercise can lead to prolonged periods of respite from...
