Floating- complete weightlessness- wonderfully oceanic feelings

Floating

In our hectic time of fully new and immense challenges the human brain does hard work every day- it programmes, is programmed, thinks and takes decisions. The only break which often has our brain is when the human being goes to bed in the evening exhausted of the many everyday thoughts and activities.

Origin:
Dr. John Lilly has invented the "abeyance tank" in California in 1954. Dr. John Lilly was a doctor, brain researcher, communication researcher, dolphin researcher as well as author. Within the following years the tank was integrated and tested in research programmes at many American universities and NASA.

What is Floating:
Translated literally: "Swimming on the top" or "floating". One can be driven in pleasant warm water similar like an astronaut in the universe. The high salt concentration carries even non-swimmers like a feather. It comes to an absolute depth diversion because the surrounding room is pleasantly shaded and is only illuminated by gentle small lights.

Even if the ears are under water, one can enjoy easing music. The basin is filled with a magenisum sulfate solution (400 kg +450 l ofwater). By this mixture we achieve a specific weight of 1,3 what lets our body float weightlessly. The bathing temperature amounts approx. 35.2° degrees Celsius and corresponds to the outer skin temperature of the body.

This is of decisive importance. If the temperature is higher, then the veins open too much and the visitor seems tired if it leaves the bath. A too cold bath would seem unpleasant and prevent us from the diversion. Furthermore the sole solution has a basic pH- amount of 8.3. The bathing man deacidificates very intensiv through this and does not get a softened as we are used to it of sweet water baths. Far from it! The result is a gentle and cleaned pore deeply skin as after a whole body cosmetic treatment. At the Floating end one is woken gently, all salt is given a shower and one lands again on the planet earth.The actual Floating takes place in a tank, meanwhile Spa hotels and thermal baths offer this experience in a pool too, either in the saltwater or on a floating pad.
