If a five-minute, uninterrupted trip to the bathroom counts as a vacation, you might be a mom who needs a float.
If the sight of a single person leisurely making her way through all the aisles of the grocery store brings about pangs of jealousy, you might be a mom who needs a float.
If you are TOTALLY TOUCHED OUT, you might be a mom who needs a float.
If you feel as though you spend 99 percent of your waking minutes getting, making, and doing things for other people, you might be a mom who needs a float.
Do you exist in a state of constant contradiction? Do you dream of the day your kids can all wipe their own butts, yet choke up at the thought of putting their diapers away for the very last time? Are you incredibly grateful for all that you have, yet encumbered by the knowledge that if something were to happen to one of your children you would simply crumble into nothing? If this is your life, you might be a mom who needs a float.
Are you deeply troubled by the feeling that time is speeding up as you and your children grow older? Do you feel as though you spend too much time with your mind stuck in either the past or the future? Do you have trouble quieting your own tumultuous thoughts? Do you find yourself biding your precious minutes with monotonous, unfulfilling busywork such as mindless multitasking, Facebook browsing, Pinterest pinning, Candy Crushing, not-so-smart phoning and/or all manners of brain-numbing screen viewing?
You are a mom who needs a float.
What is Floating?
What is floating? Floating is 60 or 90 minutes of pure solitude. It is TRUE, uninterrupted “me time.” It is the opportunity to reboot your body, mind, and soul. It is a chance to get to know your true self, free from the world’s shiny, superficial distractions.
Floating is a mode of self-care that has been around for more than 60 years. In addition to the spiritual reset it provides, it has been shown to improve a whole host of physical and mental afflictions. Depression, stress, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, PTSD, fibromyalgia, arthritis, hypertension, and much more.
Floating has also been tested and proven to boost creativity. It can also assist in improving physical and mental acuity. Floating encourages generation of Theta brainwaves — the same brainwaves created during lucid dreaming and deep meditation. There is much overlap between the benefits of meditation and floating. Benefits such as increased mindfulness, improved sense of well-being, increased self-awareness and acceptance.
Floating is not a one shot miracle cure. Floating is an ever-evolving path towards a better, kinder, more grounded and more mindful YOU. Visit our website to learn more and to book today.
