On
arrival you will given full instructions on how floatation works
and we will answer any questions you may have. Nothing is the best thing to wear for a float as the sensation of your swimming costume can detract from the experience. Ten minutes of relaxing music will ease you into the float session. It usually takes about 15 minutes to enter the first stage of deep relaxation and the remaining 45 minutes pass pleasurably. The end of your float session will be signalled by the re-introduction of music. Once inside the floatation tank you have complete control of your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions 1)
What is floating? |
|
|
Essentially, it’s spending an hour or so lying quietly in the dark, suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salts, about 10" deep and so dense that you float effortlessly. We play gentle music to help you relax. In short; it’s complete mental and physical relaxation. Research shows that when the brain is freed from all sensations – gravity, temperature, sight, sound, touch – it enters a theta brainwave state which can normally only be achieved through deep meditation. Floating is a short cut to the beneficial effects of years of meditative training. 2) How long is a float session? The float session will last one hour and twenty minutes including time to shower and change. However, we recommend you allow an extra 15 minutes to relax afterwards with some complementary refreshments. 3) Might I be bored or frightened? Anyone who floats regularly will tell you how blissfully comfortable and deeply relaxed they feel whilst floating. You’re as close as you are ever likely to be to an experience of weightlessness; and, surprisingly, there is no feeling of being confined in a tight space. No need to bring anything except yourself and a towel. Yes. Sometimes a same day float session is available but it is definitely advisable to call in advance to be sure. No. The high salt content of the water means that the water will not draw the salt from your skin causing wrinkles as happens in a long bath. In fact, the Epsom salts are actually very nourishing for the skin and yours will feel silky soft after your float session. 7 What if I am claustrophobic in the tank? Actually, we don’t use a float tank, rather, a float room... you can stand up inside them. Also, the light is controlled from inside, giving you total control of your environment. 8 Can I float if I am pregnant? Yes,
although it is always a good idea to check with your GP first. You don’t need to swim – you will float like a cork! The density of Epsom salts in the water will support you entirely. The water is also only 10 inches deep so you can touch the bottom at any time. A single session is £35 (Off Peak Mon-Fri 10am-2.30pm £25). It’s important to have at least between 3 and 5 float sessions to feel the full benefits of floating. We offer pre-paid packages of 3 float sessions for £70 or 5 float sessions for £100. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Debit and Switch. 11 How do I know it is hygienic? The high salt content of the water means that nothing harmful can live in the float environment. An advanced filtration system filters the water between each float session ensuring a totally clean, sterile environment. And we are registered and regularly checked by the local environmental health and health and safety office 12 Is there anyone who shouldn’t float? Anyone
suffering from epilepsy, schizophrenia, or acute skin disorders
should avoid floating. 13 Is there anything else I should know? Avoid shaving on the day of your float as freshly shaved skin may be irritated and thereby detract from the experience. |
