🩻Give yer spine some space!🩻

Did you know? Being in a state of neutral traction allows your vertebrae to expand and decompress. This neutral traction shuts down pain signals sent to the brain, providing significant relief for chronic back and neck pain. 😌🧠

Pain relief without the pharmaceuticals one of the many benefits to having a regular float practice.🚫💊🎉

See you soon 🫶👋

Float Ambassador Friday 🛟

This weeks blog is on the topic of drawing cards as part of your float practice. 🔮 Ursula Mogensen has done a lovely job of helping you figure out how you can do that if you’re intrigued you’re gonna want to read this one!

“The great thing about a personal practice is that if it works for you and doesn’t harm others, you’re doing it just right! You can draw cards before your float, after your float; you can draw one, two, three, or more - whatever you feel like. You can draw from a single deck, or multiple. You can treat it like reading your horoscope in the paper, or take notes or photos to save the card meanings for later contemplation. Whatever “floats” your boat!”………..

….If something kept floating up to my conscious mind during my float, I’ll ask a deck or two about it. If I’m just feeling chill and blissed out, I simply ask for a message to take with me into the remainder of my week. You can take this practice as seriously or as casually as you like - I recommend treating it like just another data point and gathering more information from other sources to verify it. Use your intuition, look at the pictures on the cards and see how they make you feel, consult the little book that comes in the box - all are valid ways to interpret what you draw……” To read this whole blog and see some visual photo references head on over to our TFC blog page.

We love you Ursula and can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done as a TFC Float Ambassador over the last 2 years. 💛💚🧡❤️

After floating all your senses are heightened. Sights, scents and sounds may feel a bit more enhanced than you noticed before. This is because all your senses were resting during your time in the tank. 🤗

We always suggest you get a bite to eat and spend some time in the good ol’ outdoors post float if your life allows it. ☁️ ☀️ 🌺 🌳 🌈

This week’s blog is coming from Tanyse Beckett and it is so incredibly informative 😮‍💨🥹🧡

“……I have learned how much sensory information I carry:

Understanding myself as a neurodivergent baddie has also helped me make sense of many experiences throughout my life. Floating has given me a physical understanding of just how much sensory information my nervous system is processing at any given time.
It is easy to underestimate the cumulative effect of constantly being on (I say this while I write this blog from my phone at 3:30am) The notifications, constant conversations, a million items on the to do list and just as many tabs open in my brain as my computer, the high expectations both of a demanding career and possibly more so the ones I put on myself along with the constant transitions simply become a part of everyday life. I feel others likely can relate, but it’s become a societal norm to be so accustomed to over-functioning through overstimulation that we barely recognize it.
The absence of input in a float tank creates a contrast that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. My body does not have to filter the environment. It can just be. Be still.
That contrast has helped me notice my limits earlier. I am becoming better at recognizing when I need less noise, less urgency, to take on less and to be okay with not operating my human self like I’m some robot geared to produce more.

I have learned that being still and feeling peaceful are not the same thing.

Sometimes a float feels deeply restorative. Sometimes my mind becomes creative and expansive. Sometimes I lose track of where my body ends and the water begins. It can feel like catching on a month of ideas with clarity or a week’s worth of restorative sleep.
The tank does not always give me an escape from my priorities, responsibilities or emotions when life gets tough Often, it gives me just enough quiet to finally hear them and make sense of them……” to continue reading head to the TFC Blog page or follow the link in our story ! 🔗🛟

Thank you so much for this special piece Tanyse we love love love YOU! 🌻🌸🌼

Aloha m’buddies!

Lots of folks (read: at least a person a day) have been asking how construction has been since our last post in June and if there have been any resolutions. We haven’t been able to provide much of an update as not much had changed. We had two false starts in July where we were told that the noisy activities were done, only to have it start up again after the construction team realized they had forgotten an area. This pattern has continued for the past 2.5 months into last week.

It’s been crickets from the city and the contractor’s insurance company. I don’t expect that there will be any conversation, let alone compensation. We have had a positive relationship with the construction team down the street who have been able to provide us with updates of their activities as well. Fortunately, we have not been nearly as impacted by their activities and they hope to be completed by the end of September.

I do want to share what we have done from our end to weather the storm. I want you to know that we want TFC to be here forever and will do what we can to be here for YOU. I share these things because there’s always a lot of behind the scenes sacrifices that happen:

🔨 A teammate was laid off; another one needed to leave and we chose not to re-hire anyone to keep overhead down. Jenelle and myself sailed the high seas of floating by ourselves this summer!
🔨 We shortened our operating hours.
🔨 I reduced my pay and even skipped a pay while increasing the number of working hours.
🔨 Kept operating costs down by making no unnecessary purchases, fixing what we can with what we have on hand. I’m basically a plumber now :)

We thank everyone who has checked in to see how they can help. We’ve been shown A LOT of love these last few months and believe in the goodness of community.

XOXO
Lindsay

TL;DR: The best time to float is evenings and weekends. The rock-breaking down the street should be done by the end of September and is barely affecting us. We will make a big announcement when we know for sure that your floats will be noise-free.

Happy Float Ambassador Friday 🛟❣️

This week we have some good ol’ float advice from our pal Paul MacKay 📚

“…..While floating may not be for everyone, it’s usually pretty easy to allay whichever fear or stressor is standing in the way of someone giving it a try. One of the great things about floating is that your time at The Floatation Centre can absolutely be anything you want it to be, so if there’s an aspect of floating that makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to do it!……

……..Even now I sometimes need to remind myself that I can make a float whatever I want it to be, and yours can be whatever you want it to be too. I once played Boards of Canada on my AirPods and floated on my stomach the entire time so that it felt like I was skydiving weightlessly for an hour into the endlessly dark expanding nothingness of the universe to a soundtrack of Scottish electronic music, and you know what? Nobody stopped me! A singular 10/10 experience.” 🪂🎶

To read the entire blog and debunk some float fears head on over to our TFC Blog page or follow the link in our stories. 🔗

Thanks so much for sharing your iconic experience with us all Paul we frigging love you! 😄🫶
