  • The idea of floating in a pod filled with water and 1200 lbs of Epsom salt in dark silence for 60 minutes wasn't on the top of my bucket list, but with online deals bringing the price down to the equivalent value of a massage, it sounded as a good time as any to give it a shot. Several friends raved about the experience with such remarks as "opening up the Google search of your brain" to "feeling like the 1 hour mark after 'shroom tea" to "mentally going to Mars". Their levels of sobriety ranged from stone cold to having smoked an ounce in the parking lot. I was somewhere in between. The friendly attendant, John, clearly explained what to do and how to operate the pod. Being a first timer, I also watched a 6 minute video on how to maximize my float time which offered some helpful suggestions (body position, breathing) while glazing over some new age, self improvement stuff. John also informed me to hang in their relaxation room upon finishing since many feel disoriented and extremely euphoric afterwards. Uhhh..what?? So I get out of the shower, put the ear plugs in, get in the pod..... "And I'm floating in a most peculiar way" I initially found the whole thing a bit comical. Here I am...naked, in a dark and confined space, lying in 93.5 degree water...isn't this a torture method in Guantanamo Bay? But after I got over the initial weirdness, things got interesting.... "And the stars look very different today" It definitely felt like drifting in outer space. My mind darted through a billion thoughts before I was able to end up in a kind of neutral, semi-conscious, relaxed zone. I could not believe I was in the pod for only an hour as it felt much longer than that. They claim health benefits like the improvement of memory/sports performance/sleep quality, alleviating PMS, helping with creativity, softer skin etc. Let me tell you....my PMS was fuckin loooong gooooone!!! :P I don't know about this experience helping with all that, but I definitely left in a prolonged state of relaxation. This is a great alternative to a massage or spa treatment. I'll be back for sure.
