I went to the Hudson location for the first time yesterday, after buying a three pack of the float…read moresessions at the St. Paul location.
I had all ready bought (and used) a three pack of the infrared sessions at the St. Clair location in December, and was amazed at the sweat that flowed, the muscle relief, and the recuperative powers that the sessions provided. See more on that in the St. Clair Awaken review.
So when there was a special spotted for a different, seemingly elevated healing service provided by Awaken To Wellness, gravitated, did thy, with great anticipation, towards the three pack..for an AMAZING deal, (in hindsight).
A month or so passed before I felt the float session calling, the reason being that sleep, (though not lack of energy) had been fitful, since a certain herbal remedy that had been used twenty years previous, (much due to the insomnia) had been discarded a week and a half previous.
Anywho, walking into the Hudson location, I felt awash with Zen energy, due to the color's, sight's, and sounds of this house of peaceful healing (much the same energy exists as the St. Clair locale, but more so here due to absent that the madness of cities encourages).
That feeling was increased when two happy faces greeted thy, one a customer, the other the Instructor of goodness that was to follow.
I just gotta say, most people nowadays are so unhappy, and thus nasty individuals; the reason is obvious: poor diet, lack of exercise, and isolation-particularly the belief that we are special snowflakes..and thus in accordance, seperate from everyone else, which discourages unity.
There was none of that here; just two beautiful human beings, the aforementioned woman (a fellow customer-she must be a healer of some kind) and a man, (the Instructor of goodness) who both radiating goodness outward, like sun beams.
After filling out a brief form, the Instructor of goodness patiently walked thy through the important steps that would need to be heeded, in order to maximize the enjoyment, and benefits of the experience, even verifying that everything made sense, and that no anxiety lingered-which was impressive in itself, as some are prone to excessive overthinking (guilty).
Every word instructed proved to be most valuable, as without, there would have been a strong chance one would be flopping about in the floating tank, floating away from a most peaceful experience, instead of away from.
Most helpful was the emphasis of drying the face before entering the 800 lb Epsom bath of bliss, and also relaxing the neck and letting it sink into the healing waters, assuring all the while that while the positively charged water, while coming within an inch of the eyes...would not enter them. The other emphasis was the two recommended positions (hand up, as if being told so by an officer of the law, and hands down, palms up..as if mediatating and allowing good energy in.
All points of emphasis proved to be perfectly apt, as without, the aforementioned croppy flop may have ensued. Additionally, no unecessary instruction was given; it was efficient and easy to understand, without any pretension or hurry.
After the instruction, the door was closed, and a shower, using only the 3 in 1 body wash, not conditioner (as instructed,) was taken.
I then melted into the extremely clean pod that was to be a silent refuge for the next 90 minutes. The water temperature couldn't have been more perfect.
BTW..there is no refuge for Corona virus in this tank after hearing the 3 part cleaning process they use-and I'm the type of clean freak to overly worry about that type of stuff.
While initially lying half submerged in this pool of infinite goodness, (for a moment,) the neck tensed, and wondered I, how 89 more minutes would be possible with the neck all ready suffering (tech neck, which we all have, but with lessening phone time, benefits have all ready been realized).
The neck tension only lasted for a few seconds..the time it took the words of the instructor to echo in thy mind about letting the neck sink into the water.
After that, as instructed, the hands up position was engaged..
With hands up, and floating freely, (like one may do so when dreaming of levitation) surrended I did, to any negativity that existed within, as well as any anxiety, or thoughts of scarcity.
Next, the hands were moved down (with palms upward) and within that movement..thine chakras opened up..and positively was invited in, both of mind and body, thoughts and physical feelings positively charged in the process.
In the next 80 or so minutes, I alternated between the two positions, even freestyling a hands behind the back so I could futher arrest myself to healing process. I attempted fetal position once, though that proved to be a salty experience, as some crept in.
Luckily, there was the spray nearby, so with a quick spritz and wipe upon thine eyes, vision was again realized. Amazing!
