The floatation training manuals (aka our blog)

Consider this page the floatation training manuals – while you don’t need any foreward before jumping into a tank, there’s a wealth of information and research out there on the effects it has on the body and the mind. Read on…

  We live in a hyperconnected world where we connect with more people and things than ever before, causing our attention to be glued to our phones and PC screens. We share our experiences literally with thousands of people in an instant, but often it feels that something is missing like it’s not enough.  Despite all […]

Restless nights, fever dreams and unsatisfactory dozes. We all know what it feels like to get a bad night’s rest, some of us too well. Some of us way too well, for way way way too many nights in a  row. A lack of sleep builds up. It wears on your body, it wears on […]

“The flotation tank is a window, a portal. Into another part of the universe. One which is within us always. Float down the river, of your own subconscious. Through the bends and burbling books. Be surprised by your waterfalls, and the depth of your lakes. Discover the ecology. Make friends with the beings, which occupy […]

By now we all know the powerful effect that floating has on us.  We know that one session tends to provide relaxation for multiple days after a float, and most of us are aware that floating has a cumulative effect- that we relax more quickly + deeply when we’ve been floating on the regular… But, […]
