The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health states that 1 in 5 Canadians experience a mental illness or addiction problem and by the time one reaches 40 years of age, 1 in 2 have or have had a mental illness.
Floating therapy is a unique experience that can bring a deep level of relaxation and wellness to your body and research has shown it has significant positive impacts on mental health, sleep, stress, burnout, and addictive behaviours.
2020 has been a difficult year for essentially everyone around the globe. We're all feeling a little {a lot} overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted. It makes sense that you might need a little support catching your breath.
If the stress and uncertainty is getting to you, it is 100% completely normal. You are not alone in this. The curveballs 2020 has thrown us have been impossible to predict. Taking care of your mental health is essential right now and, for me, floating is part of my mental hygiene routine.
If you're looking for a way to 'get away from it all' and can't hop on a plane, give floating a try. It provides a deeply relaxing experience, calms overly stimulated systems, and provides many mental and physical health benefits.
After my first floating session, I felt an instant decrease in my stress levels, it immensely boosted my overall mood and I experienced an aura of calmness all throughout my body. Weeks later, I could still feel its effects.
