💧 What Is a Float Tank (Sensory Deprivation Chamber)? And Why You Need to Try It 💧
by Soothe Holistic Wellness
Have you ever wished the world would just quiet down for a minute? No phones buzzing. No lights. No traffic. Just… stillness.
That’s exactly what a float tank offers.
Also known as a sensory deprivation chamber, a float tank is a completely unique experience that helps you unplug from the world and reconnect with yourself — mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.
Let’s dive into how it works and why people can’t stop raving about it. 🧘♂️✨
🌀 How Does a Float Tank Work?
A float tank is a lightproof, soundproof pod or room filled with around 10 inches of warm water mixed with hundreds of pounds of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). This high concentration of salt makes your body completely buoyant — you float effortlessly on the surface.
The water is kept at skin temperature, so after a few minutes, you stop noticing where your body ends and the water begins. Add in total silence and complete darkness (or soft ambient light and sound if preferred), and you’re in a state of sensory deprivation.
This environment gives your brain and body a rare chance to fully relax, heal, and reset.
🧠 Why You Need to Try It
Float therapy isn’t just a luxurious self-care ritual — it’s a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and transformation.
Whether you’re looking to:
Clear your mind and reduce stress
Recover your body from pain, tension, or injury
Deepen your meditation or spiritual practice
Recharge your energy and boost focus
Or simply take a break from the overstimulation of modern life...
Floating can help you return to a calm, centered, grounded state.
✨ Spiritually
Many guests describe float sessions as deeply spiritual experiences. When external distractions fade away, you’re left with a space to explore your inner world, connect with your intuition, and even gain clarity or insight about your life path.
For some, it's the closest thing to meditative stillness they've ever felt. For others, it's a journey inward — a time for reflection, presence, and connection to something greater.
🧘♀️ Benefits of Floating
Here are just a few of the well-known (and well-loved) benefits of regular float therapy:
💆♂️ Stress Relief & Mental Clarity
Reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and helps reset your nervous system.
Clients often leave feeling lighter, calmer, and mentally refreshed.
💤 Better Sleep
Promotes deep relaxation, which helps improve sleep quality and duration.
Many report fewer racing thoughts at night and a more restful sleep after floating.
🧘 Easier Meditation
Floating naturally brings your brain into a theta wave state, ideal for mindfulness, visualization, and inner reflection.
🏃♀️ Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery
The magnesium in Epsom salt eases inflammation and soreness.
Athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone with physical tension can benefit.
💡 Increased Creativity & Insight
With sensory distractions gone, your mind is free to wander and create.
People often come out of a float with new ideas or unexpected solutions.
👶 Who Is It For?
Float therapy is for anyone needing:
A reset from stress and anxiety
Relief from chronic pain or tension
A tool for deeper self-awareness and spiritual connection
Support for a meditation or mindfulness practice
Or just a quiet moment to breathe
Whether you're a healer, athlete, busy parent, student, or just feeling burned out — floating meets you exactly where you are.
🔄 What to Expect (Especially if It’s Your First Time)
Shower first, then step into the tank and gently lie back — you'll float effortlessly.
You can choose complete silence and darkness, or soft light and music if you prefer.
Most sessions last 30 or 60 minutes, and we provide everything you need.
Afterward, many people feel a calm “post-float glow” that lasts for hours — even days.
