Floating is a practice…. Here are some tips from our more experienced friends!
#1: Shower thoroughly – We all float here. We want to keep the tanks spotless. You want us to keep the tanks spotless. Cosmetics, soaps, dyes, and general body stuff make it difficult. Help us help you!
#2: If you use ear plugs, put them in when your ears are dry.
#3. Don’t overheat in the shower. If the shower’s too warm, the tank may feel too cool by contrast.
#4: Dry your face and tummy after your pre-float shower, before entering the tank.
#5: Float naked - Swimsuits become crusty & abrasive…a scratchy distraction! The door locks! The room is yours!
#6: Sit down then lay back in the tank to begin.
#7: Use the sides to reduce ‘ping-ponging,’ Gently touch the walls with your arms and legs to settle the water and settle yourself in the center of the tank.
#8: Experiment! Find the most comfortable arm position for you. Arms at your side? Arms above your head? What works best for you?
#9: Turn the lights off – Once you’re comfortable, darkness decreases distractions and improves your ability to relax and focus on your breathing.
#10: Gently stretch when you’re done. Stretching always feels good, and it’s extra good when you’re relaxed and your muscles are warm!
