Truthfully, I am unsure what to think regarding my first try. Here are key observations:
Observation 1. Once in your assigned room, there is a large dome filled with heavily salted water where your relaxation begins; this allows for anyone to be able to "float on top" due to its density.
Observation 2. The room includes a shower. Be sure to clean up but do not use the conditioner. It is important to stay clean and not introduce chemicals into the dome. Also before you shower or introduce water to your head, don those specially made earplugs on, they won't come off during the duration of your float.
Observation 3. Before entering the dome, note that a rolled up towel and a spray bottle filled with fresh water is located on the ledge inside. If this is not the case, alert the staff by pressing the help button. You will need this in case some of that salt water gets into your eyes. It will sting and hurt like the dickens. How do I know? I think you know cuz I was squirting that into my affected eyes and wiping with the clean towel!
Observation 4. Once you hear the music stop, the time clock begins. Stay still and the entire time you will be sensory deprived and it will be completely quiet. Once the music starts back up again, that alerts you it is time to start your move to exit and start showering and cleaning off all the salt water.
Observation 5. An oxygen bar is available afterwards in the resting area and a room to use brush and hair dryer for your after shower needs.
Once the entire session was completed, I did not experience the same thing I normally would from say a steam sauna, a hot tub soak or a massage. It has been said, actually the staff person said it normally takes several sessions before you realize the benefits. I am still on the fence and have not returned to see if this is would be true. read more
