Shut Out the Outside World For Inner Peace
- You wish to attain a deep state of relaxation in order to help you release feelings of stress, depression, tension, anxiety or fear. Sensory deprivation therapy (also called “floatation therapy”) provides a womb-like environment free from all external stimulation. This stimulus-free environment allows you to achieve a state of deep relaxation, similar to what occurs during deep meditation. In this meditative state, you are able to tap into creativity centers within the brain that are normally not accessi ble, allowing you to experience enhanced self-visualization, problem-solving and mental clarity.

- You want to speed the healing process and get relief from discomforts associated with an injury. The salt water solution used in sensory deprivation tanks is highly effective at reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Additionally, the floating process releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain reliever. Your sensory deprivation session will also improve your circulation and aid in your body’s ability to distribute nutrients and oxygen.
- You are seeking a single therapy to promote overall wellness. Sensory deprivation therapy offers a wide range of benefits including detoxification, improved immune function, increased energy and stamina, and decreased production of stress hormones, which cause anxiety and also contribute to weight gain. Regular floatation therapy has also been shown to be an effective smoking cessation aid and treatment for substance abuse.
