What is Floatation Therapy (FT)?

Floating is the Ultimate in Relaxation and Healing for Body, Mind and Spirit. Floatation Therapy is based on a revolutionary scientific approach to deep relaxation called Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique or R.E.S.T. for short . Floatation REST "restricts" or eliminates all the external stress-factors or "stimuli" that normally affect body and mind every day . We are usually not consciously aware of it but these normally take up 95% of our physical and mental energy.

Gravity

The concentrated Epsom salt solution creates a weightless environment that liberates mind and body from the effects of gravity.

Temperature

The solution is kept at skin-temperature, thus freeing the nervous system and brain from another constant stress-factor.

Touch

With only skin-temperature fluid in contact with the millions of sensitive nerve-endings that cover the skin, there is no sense of separation between the body and its surroundings. According to research, this reduction in tactile stimulation (sense of touch) plays a subtle but important part in triggering a profound state of relaxation. Subjectively, it creates a sensation of complete loss of body boundaries.

Sight and sound

Floating in complete darkness and silence liberates large areas of the brain devoted to processing sensory information, further increasing the depth of mental relaxation.

Floatation REST triggers a profound relaxation response that is totally natural and effortless and it happens simultaneously on all levels of your being. While floating the brain slows down into theta waves, the brain wave state of tranquility, creativity and very deep relaxation. Theta is the brain state of REM sleep (dreams), hypnosis, the place of creative insights. Theta is the twilight state just before sleeping and just after waking, the border between the conscious and the subconscious world, and by learning to use a conscious, waking Theta brain wave we can access and influence the powerful subconscious part of ourselves that is normally inaccessible to our waking minds. While in the Theta state, the mind is capable of deep and profound learning, healing, and personal growth. Self –mastery be in tune with yourself.

Tank Hygiene

Computer-Controlled Hygiene Management

During filtration cycles, a 90-litre / minutemagnetic-drive pump forces the salt solution - at high pressure - through a 30-micron mesh filter element to remove impurities. Two high-power waterjets in the floatation chamber create an efficient circulation pattern, ensuring that the entire 550 litres of solution is circulated at least twice during a 15-minute filtration cycle.

Automation

The end-of-session filtration is fully automatic. An electronic sensor "detects" the floatee leaving the tank at the end of every float session, and triggers a pre-timed 15-minute pump cycle. Oxygen treatment ... the world's first chemical-free tank treatment system Our float tanks are fitted with a totally chemical-free natural oxygen filtration system.

This approach is a synergy of three advanced water-treatment technologies:

1. An oxygenation chamber splits the tank water into natural oxidizing gasses (O1, O2, OH, H202) releasing large amounts of pure natural oxygen (O2). Pure oxygen is the most powerful "oxidant" and is far more effective at killing-off micro-organisms than chemical oxidants.
2. A vacuum-ionization chamber releases copper ions (a powerful, natural, non-toxic bacteriocide) into the solution.
3. An ultra-violet light chamber destroys the DNA of micro-organisms, and breaks down organic waste.

Absolutely no chemical treatment is used. There are absolutely no chemical residues in the tank solution. Even the alkalinity of the tank solution is neutral.
