Dr. John C. Lilly was the creator of the first sensory deprivation tank in the 1950s. Since then, many things have changed about the practice, but Dr. Lilly knew one thing for certain that still holds true today: "You do not have to suffer continual chaos in order to grow."

While we call it float therapy more than sensory deprivation now, we know that taking a few minutes in the quiet for yourself can provide some amazing opportunities for personal growth.

You might not be ready for complete quiet and darkness. You might not want the door closed.

That's okay. You'll still likely find a deep state of relaxation and relief. And with practice, you might find yourself feeling more at ease with the idea of removing external stimuli, like lights and sound.

You're in control of your float experience.

When you're in the float space, that's the only place you have to be. When your mind starts running, pull it back in with you. Maybe focus on the sound of your breath or your heartbeat.

Just remember. You don't have to be anywhere but here. That's one of the many gifts of the float.

If you ever feel off, or not yourself, it may mean you need to reconnect with nature. Turn your phone on do not disturb (or leave it at home!) and take a stroll through the woods or maybe a nearby park. Listen to the sound of your breath, the wind between the trees, and sound of your heartbeat. After 15-30 minutes, you'll feel so much better.

Do you find yourself taking too long to fall asleep at night, waking up frequently, or too soon?

💤 Science tells us that we need 6-8 hours of sleep each night to get the rest and rejuvenation necessary for optimal health. There are a lot of things we can do to help make sure we get the sleep we need including having consistent bed-time routines, limiting electronics, reading before bed, and having our last meal several hours before turning in.

🆘 And of course, we love it when you let us help you prepare for a sound night of sleep by reducing stress, reducing soreness, and providing a relaxing time with [### modality].

Pancakes for breakfast, or eggs? Scroll through social media on your lunch break, or take a short walk? Read a book, or watch a movie? Boxers or briefs?

Life is about choices and decisions. When it feels like your mental health is slipping, you are presented with a choice: you can feel like there is no way to feel better, or you can seek out the things that do. While you can't always choose the situations you're in, you can always decide how to feel about them.

Floating reminds us that peace is out there (actually - it's already inside us). It's possible. It's achievable. All you have to do is make the choice to give it a try.

Feeling in a funk? Just do one thing. Wash one dish. Throw away one piece of trash. Reply to one email. Take one big deep breath. After the one thing -- you may want to keep going! And you may not. And that's okay too. Your productivity does not define who you are.

Darkness helps us see joy in the light. Brighten the shadowed areas of your space or your life with something light and refreshing, like fresh flowers from your garden or a local shop. Likewise when we treat our bodies to a float session we refresh ourselves and are able to share that light with others.

Today, and always, we hope you choose love. We hope you choose to speak up about injustice. We hope you always choose to leave hate behind.
