Flotation Therapy

I am a USAF veteran, wife, and mother of 3. I have been floating for the last year and float at least once or twice a month. Initially, I was hesitant, as I am slightly claustrophobic and have anxiety and PTSD. So I wasn’t sure about being enclosed in a big pod, naked, and alone with my thoughts. However, through my healing journey, I have found it is important to try all types of activities and coping strategies that may help manage stress. Each time you go, it gets easier to relax. You can leave the lid of the pod open; I slightly left it open the first time. There are all different types of relaxation music that I love. I really felt like I was out in space and connected to the universe. You can concentrate on the music and breathing while letting thoughts come and go. That can be really hard for me most of the time! But each time I went, it was easier to get situated and relaxed. The last time I went I was so relaxed that I fell asleep! By trusting the process and continually going, you learn to calm your mind and body through the process. You feel so rejuvenated afterward! You may be leary, but trust the process, and you will also have many physical benefits beyond stress relief.
