Float Lebanon

joints. The relaxing effects of freely floating allows for a meditative state conducive for exploring deeper levels of consciousness. This deep state of relaxation is reduces stress, promotes clearer thinking, stimulates creativity and enhances learning. Although the effects of a single float may be powerful and long lasting, if you establish a routine, the effects can become cumulative. The body/mind quickly adapts to the unique tank environment, so in subsequent floats you go deeper, faster, experiencing enhanced benefits. Without having to work at it, one learns to release physical and mental tension and to establish that balanced state in one's life. We encourage subsequent visits to fully realize the benefits. Please note that the float tank is NOT Handicap Accessible. If you have any questions please call and discuss with us before scheduling an appointment. How should I prepare for my float visit? A: We recommend to eat very lightly to avoid being hungry yet not too full. Limit drinking beverages since this could interrupt your float time. Avoid caffeinated beverages which would interfere with relaxation. How much time should I allow for the float session? A: Our float sessions are for 60 or 90 minute sessions which is your time in the float tank itself. Every client must shower for a good five minutes before entering the tank and will shower after to remove salt. We allow an additional 30 minutes for your private use of the attached bathroom for this reason. New float clients need to arrive 20 minutes before first float for intake registration and orientation. Q: What do I bring? A: Just yourself! We provide all that you need to float - toiletries for the shower before and after, towels, earplugs and CD music. You can bring personal toiletries to use after floating and CD music if you wish. Q: Don't I need a swimsuit? A: No. The tank room is private. The swimsuit would not only be restrictive for you but also may bring contaminants into the tank so we do not allow swimsuits. Q: How is the tank cleaned and maintained? A: The tank is cleaned after every floatation session by pumping the water through a filter, which removes any particles. At the same time, an ozonator is running which creates ozone, an oxidizer that destroys water contaminants as effectively as chlorine or other disinfectants. at the end of the day, we use a food grade hydrogen peroxide, which acts like chlorine without chemical residue, to further sterilize the tank. Additionally, Epsom salt is a natural cleanser that kills bacteria. Q: Can I float if I have a small cut? A: Small cuts and scrapes may sting for a moment when entering the water, but that should quickly subside. If you have a large cut or scrape, then we recommend you wait until it's healed before floating. Since abraded skin can be salt sensitive, we recommend not shaving the day of your float. Q: Will I be enclosed in the tank? A: Yes, the tank is a closed, comfortable environment where you are totally in charge of coming and going. The door to the tank easily opens with a one-finger push. You can choose to float with lights on or off. Air is constantly circulating through a vent near the top. Since you are more above the water, keeping the door closed maintains a warmer environment for floating. Can I have a massage with a float? We whole-heartedly recommend floating before a massage. The relaxing float experience aided by the epsom salts, helps release muscle tension, allowing for a deeper, more effective massage. Especially good for the muscle-bound or extra tight tissue. We do not allow floating after the massage since the massage oils used can persist and cause a problem in the tank filter. Q: How many float tanks do you have? Can more than 1 person float at a time? A: We have 1 tank and so only 1 person can float at a time. Only 1 person can fit in the tank comfortably. Float appointments may be scheduled back to back. Q: When should I NOT float? A: Please do not use the float tank if you:
Have an infectious disease including cold or flu
Have an open skin area such as cuts, burns, rashes or hemorrhoids
Have a history of ear problems or balance conditions
Suffer from seizures or have had a recent concussion
Experience flatulence or incontinence
Have had psychotic episodes and are not under medical care
Are under the influence of an intoxicating substance
Are menstruating
Are using a hair/body product that cannot be completely washed off and may alter tank water. Note that the tank water may fade recently dyed hair
Clients with limited mobility/physical disabilities may not be able to use the tank and should access the situation beforehand. A person needs to be able to get into and out of the tank by themselves without assistance, for safety reasons. Q: What if I still have questions? A: Please call us to ask!
