We know that people in other cultures have for centuries engaged in practices such as yoga and meditation in order to transcend physical and mental phenomena, and to realize the original state of consciousness in which nothing is happening. In this modern age, the same state of inner peace and clarity is available to people in our culture through the floating experience.

Floating, which is effortless, essentially eliminates "practicing" at transcending. There is nothing to learn, nothing to do. Upon being in the floating environment, the body relaxes completely, the mind releases, and the consciousness is free to be in its original state, like a clear sky.

Floating is lying down on one's back on a solution of water saturated with a high quality Epsom salt (MgSO4) about one foot in depth. The water is maintained at skin temperature (94°F) and is soft and silky to the touch.

Due to the high density of the solution, your body floats like a cork on the surface totally free from gravity in the floatation environment that is sound-proof and light-proof, offering a safe oasis where the stress and tensions of everyday life can be left behind.

The feeling is as if you are floating out in space. The brain is free from all the functions of interpreting and processing light, sound, temperature and gravitational forces and sensations, leaving it to expand into ordinarily inaccessible areas. Thus, a wonderfully freeing and opening process begins to take effect, healing takes place more rapidly...learning is enhanced...problems are more easily solved...your cells are bathed in beta endorphins, the natural mood elevators and pain reducers in the body...a beautiful silence is experienced and a lightness of being that cannot be felt in any other way on Earth unfolds.
