Why I Float

I am the type of person that has been guilty of putting myself on the back burner for years. After developing businesses that help people and taking care of family and friends, I continue to burn the candle at both ends and keep a great attitude, but the body can only take so much.

Over the last 25 years or so, I have trained, taught and competed in martial arts training and fitness boot camps without always utilizing proper foot wear and other equipment. I have a bone on bone condition to both knees which can be irritated due to over activity. I also, had a lower back injury that doesn't give great  problems as well as repeated shoulder overuse.

I described these issues to Dr. David Berv as I went for my first float. I knew from speaking with him, how much compression is taken off of your body from the anti-gravity aspect of floating, which was great. But, the mental attributes were awesome and welcomed. 

Upon completion of my first session, I had relief to my entire body as if I had a massage. But again, the mental release and ability to have deeper more creative thought and plasticity was so awesome I felt renewed!

I have often fallen asleep towards the end of my sessions, but started taking notes of my thoughts. The last two sessions I did, I didn't fall asleep but was mentally able to workout so many things because of the lack of distractions. For me, the mental plasticity I experience allows me to go pretty deep in my ability to find answers and options. I love it!!!

I try to float as often as I can and would recommend it to anyone. I work on mindfulness and have experience with meditation, but the environment that floating creates give you a multiplier of at least 50. I recommend it to everyone and look forward to my next float!
