The Flotation experience


I can still vividly recall my younger self staring into darkest of nights, asking myself how it would feel like to drift aimlessly into space, to float under zero gravity. I'm not sure if you too had similar thoughts, but i can assure you that i did, and after going for a flotation session; i now have a rough gauge on how it might feel like. 


I did my flotation session at the Palm Avenue Float Club, whereby every "floater" gets an assigned room containing a flotation pod and shower corner. Each pod contains a shocking 500 kilos worth of dissolved Epsom salt. It's hard to describe the texture of the water inside but I would describe it as slimy yet smooth at the same time.


The secret is to enter without any expectations. To enter with a blank state of mind because the moment you set an expectation, your mind will start to question your senses and feelings; preventing it from going into total relaxation.


During the float you feel light like a feather, as though you're drifting into nothingness. It feels weird, not because you're floating but because you aren't drowning.


Upon completion you feel blank. It feels as if you've hit a reset button, your mind refreshed and revitalized. The full effects only come in 2-3 hours later. Different people gets different results, no flotation is ever the same. This is because every single factor plays a part in the outcome of your float; from the amount of sleep you received the night before to the type of activities done on that day and even your state of mind during the session.

  Overall I'd really recommend it, you don't have to sign up for a package, just go for single session and decide from then.
