With the water temperature set to match your body temperature, you’ll float effortlessly, surrounded by silence and darkness.

It’s perfectly normal for your thoughts to wander; embrace that natural process. Remember, this time is for you, and the tank is your personal sanctuary.
After Your Session
At the end of your session, gentle lighting or soft music will guide you back to awareness. Take a moment to savor the calmness and newfound clarity you may feel. After you exit the tank, shower off the salt, and allow yourself to transition slowly back into your day.
Many guests enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea in the relaxation area, providing a comforting conclusion to the experience. It can be helpful to jot down your thoughts or insights in a journal, capturing the feelings and reflections that arose during your float.
