Floating, Meditation, and Mindfulness: Adding Tools to your Mental Tool-belt
Floating removes you from the outside world and gives your mind the freedom to wander wherever it wants to go. When you float, you don’t have anything you need to do.
There’s nothing you need to work on.
You have a space where you can lie down, removed from the pressure of thinking, discussing, or participating in anything at all. It’s an environment that exists almost completely opposite our current plugged-in, sensory-driven way of life.
In a float tank, you have the opportunity to be more mindful than pretty much any other environment in the world.

Floating: My journey
I stumbled into floating during a super stressful period at work in the winter of 2019. I fell into a new role, with more responsibility and little training. Even though I chose it, it was still overwhelming. Since COVID-9 hit I have not set foot in Float Seattle — this small safe space for me to bring all of who I am. A place of acceptance.

How do I process all the themes, the hurt, the pain, mostly of others, but from my own oblivion, too, especially right now and without access to the space that holds me?
