Alan Watts often used the metaphor of floating in water to convey the essence of surrender, trust, and alignment with the natural flow of life. In his words, trying to control life is like trying to swim against the current—resistance creates struggle. But when you relax and float, you let go of fear and allow life to carry you, much like water holds you up effortlessly when you trust it.
In the context of a Relaxopod float session, this idea comes to life beautifully. Floating in sensory isolation, with zero gravity, allows the mind to settle and the body to let go—mirroring Watts’ wisdom about letting be rather than always trying to do.
“The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.” – Alan Watts
Floating, like life, isn’t about clinging—it’s about letting go
