I had a coupon from sweet friends Jesi and Kim so I scheduled my first float experience today! I have been to Quantum Wellness before so I wasn’t shocked by the gorgeous high end decor. The gal took me to the room and gave the instructions. She pushed the button to lift the lid from the tank and had to push it several times. I didn’t think much of it.
She left the room and I took the required shower including washing your hair and no conditioner. Then I just got in and turned off the light and shut the lid. I could still see a line of light around the edge and could hear some faint voices in the other room so I wasn’t freaked out. The water was just the right temp and the salts made it soft. I floated so that about one 4th of me stuck out of the water. It felt wonderful. My head was on a pillow. I think next time I’ll use the earplugs and skip the pillow. If there is a next time.
I’ve done lots of meditation so I did a body scan and got super relaxed. About 20 minutes in, I started coughing and needed to sit up and get more air. I pushed the button to raise the door and nothing happened. I pushed it 3 times then started to panic. I was able to raise the door about an inch and got the air I needed so I gave up. It was harder to relax after that for sure. I kept praying the door would open by itself like it’s supposed to at the end.
It did.
Overall I thought it was a relaxing experience but not as super cool as I’d hoped. I’ll have to research the benefits a bit more before I spend that kind of cash. It’s like a massage. I’m convinced they are excellent for you but so expensive!
