Float Hub Recover from strenuous exercise. Heal injuries. Reduce and eliminate pain. Improve sleep. Diminish anxiety and live a happier fuller life. What is floating?

FloatHub utilizes i-sopod flotation tanks to create an entirely you-centered environment free from external distractions, allowing your body to refocus its energy from processing the incessant, daily bombardment of sensory information into healing: increasing creativity, overcoming mental blocks, and arriving at homeostasis. Practitioners experience reduced stress levels; stronger muscles, joints,

and cells; enhanced brain activity; and overall increased well-being. Practitioners additionally use flotation to improve sleep quality and manage depression symptoms without the harmful and lasting side-effects associated with traditional medication. Athletes who incorporate flotation in their training regimes report playing their “A games” more frequently as the mind and body is rejuvenated after strenuous exertion. Through proper diet, exercise, and regular flotation, one can become truly limitless. Floating in a flotation tank restricts external, environmental stimulation – the combined effects of gravity, temperature, touch, sight, and sound on the muscles, nervous system, sense organs, and brain. Unless you are an astronaut, this is the only situation you will encounter where your body is free from the harmful forces of gravity. Every single muscle in the body is allowed to totally relax, with ear plugs in, and, if you wish, the tank’s interior lights off, the quietness and the darkness allow the mind to drift into the deepest state of relaxation possible. With 90% of central nervous system activity typically allocated to processing this bombardment of sensory information, the float tank may be the only time a person gets the chance to refocus one's energy toward healing, increasing creativity, overcoming mental blocks, and regaining homeostasis, ultimately leading to reduced stress, improved muscle, joint, and cell performance, and enhanced brain activity.

"John Lilly saw the float tank as having two major uses. One is for individuals for whom the external world is the only reality, and for whom the internal world of imagery and fantasy is perceived as something unreal. If the individual is satisfied and content in this mode, the flotation tank can be used as a place to consider one's problems and work out solutions with minimum distraction. For another group of people, the distinction between external circumstances and internal processes is not so clear cut. They perceive both sets of phenomena as partaking of the quality of realness. These people may be interested in self-analysis, meditation, transcendental experiences, and altered states of consciousness. For them, the isolation environment is useful because it minimizes interactions with the external reality and allows the internal domain to be more fully explored. The picture above is not meant to imply that any of the 3 should be categorized in any particular group and not the other, they are just arguably the 3 most influential figures in spreading the word about float tanks in general."

Most scientists don't include personal stories in their research reports, but for John Lilly, personal experiences and science experiments were the same thing. His ears, eyes, mouth, and nose were calibrated probes. His mind was the unbiased observer, the ideal model for dispassionate inquiry. Knowl...
