Some of you will remember my friend Sandra was a guest blogger while I was in hospital. She wrote about her experience in an ocean float tank.
I'm happy to be able to add my own perspective to the experience. Without knowing about Sandra's experience Meghan and Jerri thought it would be a great birthday gift for me while I was in Guelph. I love when those things happen. I didn't even know it was available in Guelph so I was pleasantly surprised.
We arrived on Friday evening and spent the evening catching up with one another and then Saturday they brought me to my appointment.
It was an incredible experience. I will give it to you from my perspective. We arrived at the yoga studio and immediately were offered tea and a cozy seat. She prepared my room by lighting candles and placing towels. My experience began with an explanation for my 90 minute relaxation. The outer room was candle lit and contained a shower with had a steam feature and an aromatherapy feature. After showering I enjoyed a lemon grass and eucalyptus stream. I almost didn't want to leave it. Within the room is another room which contained the ocean tank. It contains as much as 900 pounds of Epson salt in two feet of water. I have to be honest, I was worried about being claustrophobic, I've had one too many MRI's. What was excellent for me however is that the door to the room could remain open and the ceiling within the tank was very high and star light.
I floated for a while with the door open and was able to enjoy the scents from the stream room. I finally felt comfortable enough to close the door and enjoy the experience completely.
It's amazing how floating in water can relax the body almost immediately. I floated in there without a care in the world as every muscle in my body relaxed and the Epson salt pulled toxins from my body. In my case there was very soft music for the first and last fifteen minutes. I really enjoyed the music it seemed to add to the experience.
After my time was up in the tank, the process was then reversed, I showered and streamed and prepared myself for the rest of my day. My skin was amazing and I have never felt more relaxed. I would highly recommend this treatment for anyone. There is absolutely no downside.
I would recommend that you also read Sandra's blog as she did a great job of explaining the benefits and history of its invention.
What a thoughtful and beautiful gift from my girls.
