Description

While you float, you will release yourself from your sense of touch. Your body, now free from the force of gravity, does not distinguish water temperature from air temperature. All the visual and hearing stimuli are eliminated, so that in the total absence of senses you can achieve a state of absolute rest, which takes you into a unique experience of peace and tranquility.

A floating session provides numerous therapeutic benefits, including the elimination of stress and physical and mental fatigue. Floating enhances physical and cognitive abilities, and promotes the reduction or elimination of muscle pain. One of the main benefits of flotation is that it improves the sleep process and reduces insomnia.

Inside the float:

Upon entering the floatation capsule you will feel the comfort of water at body temperature. Each capsule contains 300 kilograms of Epsom salt, giving the water the density it needs to float effortlessly. As if levitating, in the absence of gravity.

As it floats, it frees itself from the sense of touch, as the body is free from the force of gravity. Your brain fails to distinguish between the temperature of the water (approximately 34º) and the temperature of the body itself
All visual and auditory stimuli are reduced so that, in the deprivation of the senses, you can reach a state of deep rest, providing an experience of peace and absolute tranquility.

In these conditions, negative thoughts and worries disappear and the brain enters a register of theta waves. This is the brain rate that Buddhist monks can achieve after several years of training and meditation (see more about theta waves, in additional information).

Gradually you can relax all the muscles in your body and the tensions disappear. Physical and mental fatigue is replaced by the restoration of energy, and the feeling is one of pure well-being.

After float session:

These effects last until the end of the day and you will be able to sleep very peacefully. The next day you will feel the difference in your physical, mental and emotional state.

If you wish, you can combine the float with another service of the Float in Spa, such as a massage for example. By combining float session with other treatments, you will enhance their effect for a perfect wellness experience.

After each float session, we invite you to the tea ritual in the lounge in the relaxation room, before resuming your routine, stress free, relaxed and completely refreshed.

Float Session is a unique spa experience and one of the most complete wellness therapies. It has several therapeutic benefits, which have been studied for several decades in different research centers around the world.

Below are the top 10 Benefits of Float Session:

1️⃣ Fluctuation reduces stress
Stress is considered to be one of the major health problems of this millennium and fluctuation is one of the best antidotes to stress. Total rest, sensory deprivation, absence of gravity pressure and body contact with water and salt at body temperature will reduce the stress levels of your body and mind.

2️⃣ One Float session equals 4/6 hours of sleep
For those who are overworked, they will recover all their energy. Imagine yourself in the middle of the day with that feeling of low energy to work, take 1 hour to float and you will see that all energy will be recovered. 1 hour of float equals 4/6 hours of sleep, so the feeling of refreshment is complete.
Flotation also reduces jet lag, a fatigue resulting from hourly decompensation and resets the biological clock.

3️⃣ It also helps you sleep better at night
Fluctuation is especially suitable for insomnia sufferers. Once you float, you will fall asleep much more easily and have a more restful sleep. Sleeping well is critical so that the next day everything goes better and the sleeping process is critical to mental balance.

Epsom salt, used to make the body float effortlessly, tones it, softens the skin and has a powerful detoxifying effect.

9️⃣ Reduces joint inflammation
The use of Epsom Salt is extremely beneficial for bones and joints because it is rich in magnesium sulfate and has analgesic, relaxing, soothing and anti-inflammatory action.

Advice for 1st Float

• On the first fluctuation, we recommend that you arrive at the Float in ten minutes before the session so that you can complete your client file smoothly and also to provide you with some information about the course of the session.

• The Float session lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes, with the necessary time to take showers before and after the shower and also to undress and get dressed. It will float for 50 minutes. You can also purchase a 90 minute session, if you have that preference.

• Towels, slippers, shampoo, shower gel, moisturizer and hairdryers will be at your disposal. If you wish, you can bring your bathing suit, although you must float without clothes, so that you have a more comfortable float and so that you can fully benefit from the deprivation of the sense of touch.
If necessary, we have the necessary products to remove makeup.

• We do not advise you to float if you have deep skin wounds, as salt water will cause irritation in the sensitized area. If the wounds are minor, you can use petroleum jelly (available in the float room) to cover the injured area.

Epson Salt

Unlike common salt containing sodium chloride, which is therefore harmful to health, Epsom salt is composed of sulfate and magnesium combined with carbon and oxygen which have therapeutic properties. The chemical formula is MgSO4 · 7H2 which is presented in the form of crystals.

Its use in float session brings several benefits, such as revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin, and stimulating blood circulation, having a powerful detoxifying effect.
A sua utilização é especialmente benéfica para as articulações e para os ossos, reduzindo os sintomas das artrites e artroses.

Reduces inflammation and facilitates muscle function by stimulating nerve reactions, helping to eliminate toxins and increase the absorption capacity of nutrients. The composition of Epsom salt also regulates the levels of magnesium and enzymes in the body. The use of Epsom salt in the flotation, will also favor the hygiene of the water, eliminating all bacteria.

Epsom salt creates a powerful barrier to pathogens. The anti-bacterial action of the salt makes contact with bacteria much more improbable inside the float than when walking on the street, or simply when it is in your workplace.

Theta Waves

Floating as a shortcut to meditation!

The electrical activity of the brain can be measured on frequency scales and observed using an EEG (electroencephalogram) exam. The oscillations of this activity can be differentiated according to 4 frequency scales:
• beta, in intense brain activity;
• alpha, in its own brain activity a state of calm, relaxation or recreation;
• delta, sleeping and dreaming;
• and theta, in brain activity that occurs in the moments before and after sleep or in states of deep meditation.

During these moments, the brain reaches a state of absolute mental relaxation and allows a good flow of ideas or inspiration, which happen without censorship or guilt. It is typically a very positive state of mind.
Since under normal conditions, the brain functions in the recording of theta waves for very short periods, it was difficult for scientists to measure the effects on the body and brain of this type of functioning. When it was verified that during the time that it floats, in an environment of sensory deprivation, the brain is induced to function in theta waves, it became possible to make these measurements.

During the period when the brain works at this frequency, the balance of the left and right hemispheres of the brain is favored, the release of endorphins, the stimulation of creativity, the increase of concentration and the capacity for learning.

A profound state of inner peace and generalized well-being is also achieved. There are also records, of mystical experiences and sensations that are beyond human reason, during and after the period of fluctuation.
In addition to floating, the only way to induce the brain to function in theta waves for long periods of time is through deep meditation.

Buddhist monks function in this brain register while meditating. Thus, the relationship between the effects of inner peace and emotional balance resulting from fluctuation is obvious, with the same effects that arise from meditation on a Buddhist monk. Fluctuation is then a shortcut to some of the benefits of several years of meditation.
