Imagine being in an environment where all you have are your mind and thoughts? What would you do? What would you think about? Imagine being in a place where you literally feel nothing, where your brain doesn't have to process all the stimuli you receive every single day? Take a break from the constant clutter, take a break from the constant technology, take a step away from an overactive lifestyle, lay down and relax: because there's no moment like the present.
After feeling the effects first hand, I was completely blown away. The first experience had made me completely aware of a tear in my shoulder, which had been found by MRI years ago. I could pinpoint exactly where the pain was coming from and was able to release the tension in the surrounding muscles of my back and arm. I suffer from lower back pain and after floating, my back felt renewed. The muscles in my neck had been so tight for so many years that, eventually, it felt "normal" to feel neck tension. After slowly relaxing and telling myself to "Let go," the tightness in my neck was completely gone and I was able to fully release my neck. It was a relief I had not felt in such a long time. The ability to reflect on myself, my thoughts and my mind were greatly heightened inside the tank. A sense of intense relaxation came over me both during the float and the next day after. I had gotten the best sleep in months that night. I decided to open my own center in the Capital Region.
