Floating Away Anxiety: The Therapeutic Power of Sensory Deprivation
Are you constantly battling the waves of generalized anxiety? Do you feel like you're adrift in an endless sea of worry? If so, it's time to anchor yourself with a powerful tool that could help you navigate these turbulent waters: floating therapy.
Imagine this: You're floating effortlessly in a tranquil pool, enveloped by 800-900 lbs of Epsom salt. The world outside fades away, leaving you in a peaceful state of sensory deprivation. For a full 60 minutes, it's just you and your breath, syncing in a soothing rhythm. This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a real, accessible therapy that could be your secret weapon against anxiety.

A private space where you will be welcomed by starlight and soft sounds that lull you into a silent world.
Floating therapy, or sensory deprivation tank therapy, is making waves in the wellness world. By reducing sensory input, your mind gets a much-needed break from the constant bombardment of external stimuli, a common trigger for those with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
The Epsom salt, rich in calming magnesium, enhances this therapeutic experience. Some research has been done showing that magnesium can help reduce symptoms of anxiety. Soaking in a high concentration of Epsom salt could potentially amplify these effects. More studies need to be conducted to verify if in fact magnesium levels will increase specifically based on soaking it in through the skin.
If you've never tried floating therapy, or if it's been a while since your last float, consider this your invitation to dive back in. It's time to stop merely staying afloat in the sea of anxiety and start floating towards serenity.
Remember, while floating therapy could be a beneficial tool in managing anxiety, it should not replace traditional treatments but rather serve as a complementary approach. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment for anxiety. Book A Float.
