If you experience this for the first 20-30 minutes if your float - especially your first or second float - and you're completely convinced that you're the only one who experiences this ... don't worry, you're not. Almost everyone experiences this at first. It's normal. It takes 20-30 minutes for the hamster wheel in our heads to start slowing down. Eventually, it stops entirely.

This is why we mostly offer 90 minute floats. Though we do have 60 minute floats available during the weekdays, 90 minutes allows time for the hamster wheel to slow down and shut off and then lots of time to enjoy the deep, no-mind reset space that happens naturally when your nervous system is able to finally downshift, fully relax, and regenerate.

So just become One with the "bork, bork, bork!" It passes, like all things do.

Happy Solstice, friends! I think we could all use a little less darkness from here on out and exponentially more light. ☀️

The pivot happened seven hours ago.

December 21st, 4:20 AM EST. Winter Solstice arrived. Earth's Northern Hemisphere reached maximum tilt—23.5 degrees away from the sun. The furthest lean. The longest night peaked. Then, imperceptibly, the reversal began.

You might not have noticed. Most didn't. The moment passed without fanfare at 4:20 AM while most of the Northern Hemisphere slept. But the cosmic mechanics don't require witnesses. At that exact second, Earth's axial tilt reached its maximum southward lean and began—atom by atom, degree by degree—tilting back toward the sun.

This is what happened: The sun, tracking southward across the sky since June 21st, reached the Tropic of Capricorn. At solar noon today, someone standing at 23.5 degrees south latitude saw the sun directly overhead—90 degrees, zenith, no shadow. That's the furthest south the sun ever travels. The boundary. The turning point.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, today's sun traced its lowest possible arc across the southern sky. In New York, the sun rose at 7:20 AM and set at 4:32 PM. Nine hours and fifteen minutes of daylight. Fourteen hours and forty-five minutes of darkness. That's the maximum darkness we experience all year.

But here's what matters: Tomorrow changes.

December 22nd, the sun rises at 7:20 AM and sets at 4:33 PM. One additional minute of daylight. One minute less of darkness. The shadows begin their imperceptible retreat. December 23rd gains another minute. December 24th gains two. By New Year's Day, we'll have recovered seven full minutes of daylight. By February 1st, thirty-five minutes. By spring equinox on March 20th, we'll have equal day and night again—twelve hours each.

The light returns because geometry demands it. The same 23.5-degree tilt that created winter begins creating conditions for spring. Earth continues its elliptical orbit around the sun—one complete revolution every 365.25 days. Our tilted axis means the Northern Hemisphere now begins its slow lean back toward solar radiation. Not because we earned it. Because orbital mechanics are reliable.

The ancients understood this as the year's most critical threshold. Not the darkest night—but the night when darkness stopped growing. They built monuments to mark it. Stonehenge in England. Newgrange in Ireland. Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. These weren't temples of faith. They were astronomical instruments proving that darkness has limits. That the descent always reverses. That the cosmos operates on principles you can measure with stones and shadows.

At Newgrange, the ancient passage tomb in Ireland, the builders engineered a roof box—a small opening above the entrance. For 362 days a year, that opening admits no light. But on winter solstice morning, at sunrise, a shaft of sunlight penetrates that roof box, travels down the 60-foot passage, and illuminates the inner chamber for exactly 17 minutes. The alignment is so precise that modern astronomers still marvel at it. Five thousand years later, the light still finds its way in at the exact moment of winter solstice sunrise.

That's not mysticism. That's engineering. That's proof that humans understood what mattered: tracking the pivot point. Marking the moment when the return begins.

Seven hours ago, your hemisphere reached maximum tilt and began its climb back. The reversal is happening now—slow, imperceptible, but inevitable. Tomorrow brings more light than today. The day after brings more than tomorrow. The progression is geometric, unstoppable, already in motion.

The darkness you experienced last night was as deep as it gets for another full year. Every night from now until June will be shorter than last night. You've crossed the threshold.

What will you do with the returning light?
