A Guide to Calming the Body & Mind for a Float Therapy Experience

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by the constant noise and demands of modern life? If so, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are ways to calm the mind and find some much-needed peace and relaxation, even in the midst of a busy schedule. One effective method is float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation, which involves floating for 60 or 90 minutes in private saltwater pods, which remove distractions and external stimulation giving you an experience that is restful and healing for both the body and mind.

At 180 Float Spa in Boone, NC, we specialize in providing this innovative wellness experience to those seeking relief from stress and chronic pain, as well as improved overall wellness. Preparing your mind and body for a float session can be just as important as the float itself. It's important to note that while float therapy can be incredibly transformative, it may take a few sessions to fully embrace its benefits. That's why we recommend starting with a series of three floats, and offer a Buy 2 Get 3rd Free Introductory Package, to allow your mind and body to acclimate and fully reap the rewards of this unique experience.

To ensure you get the most out of your time with us, here are some invaluable tips for calming your mind and body during a float:

Breathwork: Start your float with Breathwork. Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing. Slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. With each breath, feel your belly rise and fall, allowing yourself to sink deeper into a state of relaxation. This simple technique can help calm your nervous system and reduce stress levels.We highly recommend practicing the 4-7-8 method a minimum of three times to maximize its benefits. Simply inhale deeply for a count of 4, hold your breath for a count of 7, and exhale gently for a count of 8. This rhythmic pattern facilitates relaxation and restores balance within your body and mind.

Body scan: Next, perform a gentle body scan. As you lie flat with your eyes closed, slowly scan your body from head to toe. Notice any areas of tension or discomfort and consciously relax those muscles. This can help release physical tension and prepare your body for a deep state of relaxation during the float.

Pre-massage: Consider scheduling a massage before your float session. This can help release any muscle tension or knots, making it easier to relax during the float. Plus, it can feel like a luxurious treat to pamper yourself before your float.

Infrared sauna: Another great pre float service to consider is an Infrared Sauna Session. The heat can help release toxins from your body and relax your muscles, making it easier to let go of tension and fully surrender to the float experience.

Remember, the key to a successful float session is to let go of expectations and simply allow yourself to be present in the moment. By calming your mind and body beforehand, you can set the stage for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
