How To Float Like A Pro

The first time I booked an appointment to float, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had heard through the grapevine about this amazing healing tool that could help me destress and release body aches, so I went for it. After the float consultant dropped me off to Room #1, I knew I was in for a treat. The room had a slight salty smell in the air, the pod was glowing from the changing lights and music filled the room as the water filtered itself. […]

The New Year has a certain energy about it, it just makes you want to give up those bad habits and turn to healthier choices instead. I believe that in order for us to stay committed to our health goals long term we […]

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

Break out the tinsel and the mulled cider because this is the time of year when you can’t help but get a little spirited in your day to day life.

We zip around town shopping for the perfect gift and many of us spend hours planning and researching for the best and newest products on the market. There just seems to be so much going […]

The True REST Float Family

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

The iconic saying “when you’re here, you’re family” may not be Olive Garden’s slogan anymore, but it should be the motto for all of our spa locations. There’s just something special about walking into a True REST and the feeling that you get from the staff and everyone who is there to float. It’s that sense of communal energy that’s been cultivated and we’ve got YOU, our Float Family, to thank for that. Let’s set the scene. You arrive to a friendly welcome from the float consultant who shows you […]

Floating: How to be Good at Meditation

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

For many of us, meditation is one of those elusive, mystical arts that is often married with the phrase, “I’m not good at it.” In actuality though, what does being “good” at meditating really even mean? Let’s start by defining what meditation is in the first place. Meditation is an acquired skill of the mind, one that takes dedication to continuously practice and one that reminds us to be present within each precious moment. Meditation can be guided by a variety of controlled breathing techniques, repetition of mantras and postural […]

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

If you know someone that floats, you may often hear him or her refer to theta brainwaves, but what exactly are theta waves? Are they good or bad? Why do we want them? And what do we really know about the effect of regular floating on our mental state? We pride ourselves on providing float therapy – The Science of Feeling Great – so let’s take a look at the science behind this phenomenon. What are brainwaves? First things first – what are brainwaves? The neurons in our brain are […]

Float Therapy: A Proven Treatment for Anxiety

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

Anxiety disorders are the single most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults, or about 18% of the population. Unfortunately that number continues to rapidly increase over the years. The general cost for anxiety disorders alone in the US is over $42 billion per year and makes up almost ⅓ of the entire mental health bill. So why the rapid increase in anxiety disorders? One idea is linked to the dramatically increased amount of time each person spends on digital technology per day. Many Americans spend […]

The “Final” Float Conference

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

For the last seven summers, we’ve traveled to Portland for the annual Float Conference, a place where float enthusiasts from around the globe gather to share stories, present research, show off new technology, and uncover new ideas for the future. This year’s visit to Portland felt just a little bittersweet, as it’s the final year that this event will be hosted by the original Float Conference Team. Needless to say, it also left us feeling grateful for the tremendous progress we’ve made as an industry and still eager to see […]

Zero gravity. Zero distractions. All you.

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

Did you know that True REST is an acronym? REST stands for Reduced Environmental Stimulus Therapy. While floating, we are reducing nearly ALL stimuli that our brains are processing constantly. This dramatic reduction in sensory stimuli is what creates a profound shift in pain, stress, and overall mood after just 60 minutes of floating. Face it; in today’s day and age, we are plugged in nearly 24/7. True REST provides a space where we can cut out all the chaos and distraction, and instead, focus on our breath, our relaxation, […]
