You are cordially invited to float weightlessly in outer space without the use of a space suit or even a space ship. You don't even have to leave Planet Earth. This is a good description of what it is like to float in our Samadhi Flotation Tank.What is a Samadhi Flotation Tank?
The tank is the size of a twin bed and stands chest high. It is filled with 10 inches of water and 800 pounds of epsom salt dissolved in it. Because of the high salinity of the solution, your body floats with extreme buoyancy on top of the water. The water is heated to 94 degrees Farhenheit so it feels neither warm nor cold. It is just like floating in your mother’s womb, if you can remember back that far.
There is a lightweight door that can be left open, or the door can be closed to eliminate the distractions of noise and light. The flotation tank effectively eliminates all external stimulation (gravity, light, temperature, and noise).
The simulated zero gravity encountered in the tank, coupled with its external sensory deprivation, produces a deep and profound relaxation. Floating in the warmth and comfort of a Samadhi Flotation Tank, you will discover something very familiar to you…the joy of being yourself, doing nothing.
A short history of the tank.
The first Samadhi isolation tank was developed in 1954 by John C. Lilly, M.D., in the course of brain-mind research at the National Institute of Mental Health.
With the continuing assistance of Dr. Lilly, Glenn and Lee Perry have been manufacturing Samadhi Flotation Tanks since 1972. We all pay deep respect to Dr. John Lilly. He left his body in November 2001.
Some of the Benefits associated with Floating.
Floating greatly reduces and eliminates pain, heals injuries much faster than normal and strengthens the body’s immune system.
Floating improves athletic performance, provides speedy recovery from the stress of peak output and virtually eliminates fatigue and "post race let down".
Floating leaves your mind free to focus and concentrate or even wander freely. Whether you are looking for a new insight into yourself or a solution to a problem, your creative abilities can flower.
Floating stimulates the brain to secrete large amounts of endorphins: painkilling, euphoria creating substances known as the body’s own opiates.
Floating significantly decreases stress and anxiety by lowering the levels of harmful biochemicals directly related to stress.
Floating suspends the dominance of the detail-oriented left hemisphere of the brain, allowing the right hemisphere to operate freely, giving it access to unusual powers of creativity, imagination, visualization and problem solving.

We also provide soap, shampoo and earplugs, unless you want to use your own soap and shampoo. If you wear contact lenses, please bring a case with saline solution and please bring your own towel. If you forget, one will be provided.
Eating:
Do not eat a large meal before your scheduled session.
Shaving:
Do not shave your body before your float session. (face, underarms, legs, etc.)
AFTER YOUR FLOAT
At the end of your float, you will be awakened by soft music from the underwater speakers to let you know your session is over. If possible, take time to relax, drink some water at the studio to allow the experience to sink in. Notice over the next 24 hours how the float tank experience has affected your life.
Our mission statement is "Doing nothing is something worth doing".
Music is played at the end of each float to signal the end of your session. For first time floaters and people who have floated less than five times, it is suggested not to have music played during the float, only to let you know your float time is complete, so you can fully be aware of your experience without distractions. For those experienced, five times or more, you may have music at any time (or not).
