Flotation – the most effective means of meditation and coping with overwork.
Generally speaking, flotation is a high-tech weightless floatation capsule therapy for deep rest, body restoration, meditation and exploration of the possibilities of the mind and consciousness.
The absence of gravity in the capsule is achieved by saturating MgSo4 (magnesium sulfate) in purified water.
The amount of Epsom salts is 300 kg and besides weightlessness, the salts saturate the body with necessary minerals and leave the skin and hair soft and gentle.
Rest is sought through sensory deprivation – the maximum understatement of information that is constantly processed by the senses and the subconscious. Therefore the possibilities of flotation therapy are for complete silence, darkness and isolation from the information flow.
Back in 1954, the American neurophysiologist John S. Lilly, conducted research on the effects of sensory deprivation.
He created the first floating or isolation tank to prove his claims, using it to observe the relationship between the conscience and the brain.
His theory is that if all stimulation is withdrawn and all external environmental influences are eliminated, the human brain goes into what is called the TETA state, which precedes sleep under normal conditions.
His theory has been confirmed by numerous experiments and studies, which are favorably influenced by floating therapy or also REST therapy – which is a limited environmental stimulation therapy .
REST therapy, has similar benefits to relaxation training, hypnosis, meditation, yoga and massage, both from a psychological and physical perspective.
The main result of swimming – which forms the basis of the whole system – is that the body is spared the effects of gravity on our bodies.
The muscles and joints (supporting muscles, skeletal muscles and locomotor muscles) are relieved of the strain and so relax completely.
The body is in a weightless state and the cabin blocks out all noise and light, thus creating an atmosphere of complete relaxation. The basis of flotation is the water with a high concentration of salt in the float tank, allowing the body to float on the surface of the water.
Sensory deprivation shuts out the effects of gravity, light and sound on the brain in a floating state.
After the experiments of John S. Lilly, research into the effects of flotation has continued actively in universities, health centers, and hospitals, leading to the creation of a global organization, IRIS (International R.E.S.T. Investigators Society).
IRIS physicians and researchers regularly publish their results, which form a body of unique developments in the field of modern medicine.
The flotation capsule has undergone many changes in its design and mechanics over the past 57 years,
Today’s capsules are high-tech devices that allow the sensation of comfort, spaciousness and gradual entry into sensory deprivation.
1 hour of flotation equals 4-5 hours of sleep
It helps to cope with the time difference faster after travelling.
Strengthens immunity and boosts creativity.
Helps muscle recovery and reduces the risk of sports injuries.
Relieves tension in pregnant women (if you are in the third trimester, consult your doctor).
Flotation can also be a form of meditation. After 30-45 min your brain begins to generate theta waves, which normally happens during sleep or deep rest.
It improves the cognitive functions of the brain.
Stress Relief – Excess adrenaline and stress are thought to drain magnesium, which is a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium helps bind serotonin, the happiness hormone, by increasing dopamine and endorphin levels in the body.
Complete relaxation – Increases chemicals in the brain that work to create a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
Migraines – Relieves and prevents migraine headaches.
Detoxification – Flushes toxins and heavy metals from cells in the body, which helps relieve muscle pain and clear out harmful substances collected from our modern toxic environment.
Diabetes – Improved insulin sensitivity helps control blood sugar, which can help prevent or sever diabetes.
Heart Health – Improves heart health and circulation. Prevent hardening of the arteries, blood clots and lower overall blood pressure and heart rate.
Bone health – Magnesium helps the assimilation of calcium into bones.
When you use a float tank, magnesium is absorbed through the skin and the body optimizes magnesium levels so magnesium levels are not likely to get too high, which can be dangerous.
In addition to improving magnesium levels, Epsom salt also provides sulfates, which are difficult to obtain from food but are easily absorbed through the skin.
Sulfates play a key role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and mucin proteins that coat the walls of the digestive tract – especially as we age, all of which help us live longer and healthier lives.
Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4).
The liquid in the capsule consists of water enriched with 30% MgSO4, also called ‘epsom salts’ (MgSO4+7H2O), the density of the resulting solution being 1.3 grams per cubic centimeter.
The epsom salts give the water a ‘thickness’ that allows you to float with ease while your eyes, nose and mouth remain above the surface. Epsom salts have an extraordinary number of beneficial properties, one of which is balancing a common deficiency nowadays – the lack of magnesium in our bodies. It is absorbed through the skin without the risk of ingesting too large an amount.
About epsom salts in more detail:
One of the main physical benefits of floating in epsom salts is the absorption of essential minerals for the body. Magnesium deficiency in the body causes cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis, joint pain, chronic fatigue, and problems associated with high stress levels. Existing magnesium supplements are a seemingly convenient way to compensate for this lack, but in fact studies show that the magnesium in the food we eat today is not absorbed well enough through the gastrointestinal tract. Epsom salts, which are rich in magnesium and in sulfate, easily enter the body through the skin. Sulfate molecules play an important role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins, synovial fluid, and aid in cell detoxification. In addition to the positive effects associated with sensory deprivation, floating in epsom salts has the following benefits:
Improves blood circulation.
Reduces the frequency of migraines.
Reduces inflammatory processes and soothes the musculature.
Gives a refreshing glow to hair and skin.
Helps maintain calcium levels in the body and regulates electrolytes.
Helps regulate insulin levels.
Reduces stress and creates a sense of calm.
Removes toxins and heavy metals from cells.
Флотационната капсула разполага с комплексна система за пречистване на водата, като използва 4 основни метода – UV стерилизаторна лампа (UVC-75); филтър от стъклен пясък; суперфин акрилен филтър (5 микрона); и инжектиране на активен кислород (Sanosil Super 25 – водороден пероксид с концентрация 50% и сребърни йони – H2O2 50%, Ag 0.05%). Всички 4 основни метода се активират при пълнене, изпразване и циркулиране на водата.
Капсулата притежава и механичен решетъчен филтър от неръждаема стомана, както и филтър с активен въглен.
Отделно, вътрешността на тялото на капсулата, което може да влезе в контакт с тялото ви, е изработена от вакуумно оформен антибактериален санитарен акрил. Капсулата се почиства и ръчно с дезинфектант (Живахекс) след всяко плаване.
Солта е естествен антисептик и антибактериален агент и концентрацията на соли във флотационната капсула е 10 пъти над тази в Мъртво море. Наричат го Мъртво море, защото нищо не може да оцелее вътре.
The water is close to your skin temperature – about 35.8°. The idea is to be able to ‘merge’ with it and have a minimal sense of touch.
The minimum stay is 1 hour, but you can choose a stay of 2 or 3 hours. Allow at least half an hour on top for preparation before and after flotation.
The answer is absolutely none! It is impossible to sink. There is only the possibility of salt water getting into your ears or eyes.
Flotation as a method of sensory deprivation and deep relaxation has been around for over 60 years and has a solid amount of research behind it. So, we would say – no.
For more in-depth information, we advise you to definitely watch the documentary dedicated to the history and effects of flotation therapy “Float Nation“:

The procedure is suitable for children. There is still not enough information on how exactly floating in a high-tech capsule affects them, but in some cases flotation helps them to cope more easily with the fear of the dark or that of enclosed spaces.
Studies are ongoing with autistic children and the effects of what is called Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST). It is now clear that sensory deprivation provokes positive changes in social behaviour and cognitive development in children with autism.
Children under the age of 18 may float with the express written permission of their parents, and the presence of an adult with them is mandatory on the day of the float.
It is recommended if you want to benefit from the full potential of flotation therapy. Most people feel the benefits of flotation only after the third or fourth float.
Of course. There are people who prefer to create a sense of calm and relaxation before embarking on more strenuous tasks.
However, there is a chance that after your first sail you will experience the so-called “detox effect” caused by epsom salts. This can lead to feelings of temporary tiredness and lack of energy, so consider how best to arrange your day. This condition does not apply to everyone.
Not necessarily. It is recommended to enter the capsule clean naked. This is recommended in order to maximize the feeling of freedom, lightness, comfort and to not have any touch of fabrics and synthetics.
