Rest is a daily requirement for the Mind/Body, our health and optimal functioning depends on us achieving the necessary amount and quality of rest. The demands of modern lifestyles overwhelm our natural rest mechanism, the sleep cycle, which causes the need for effective and affordable stress relief and relaxation techniques.

Flotation Tanks (also known as Isolation or Sensory Deprivation Tanks) are designed to create a condition which is ideal for the relaxation and rejuvenation of the Mind/Body. Research shows that the effects of a two hour float session is the equivalent of 8 hours of deep sleep, making it one of the most efficient and comprehensive relaxation techniques available
The experience of flotation is also one of an heightened awareness of mental, emotional and physical processes. You experience an intensified consciousness of the body and mind, you are able to reflect, to ponder, to explore and refine your powers of concentration and creativity.

A floatation tank is a 8'(l)x4'(w)x4'(h) enclosed structure which diminishes light and sound. Each tank holds 10 inches of water with 800lbs. of Epsom salts enabling a person to float effortlessly. The water is heated to an average skin temperature (93.5°) reducing the sensation between body and water. The tanks are fully ventilated and the solution is sterilized after each use with concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide and Ozone.

Benefits of floating include:

• Reduction of tension caused by stress and anxiety
• An increased ability to visualize, create, imagine and problem-solve
• Spontaneous reduction in or the elimination of habits i.e. smoking
• "Super-learning" -by increasing the minds powers of retention, comprehension and original thinking
• Peak-performance enhancement i.e. athletic, creative, mental
• Recovery from stress of peek output and virtual elimination of fatigue and "post-race letdown"
