What is floating?

Floating literally means floating. But what exactly does floating entail as a wellness treatment?

During a float session, you lie in a specially designed floatroom filled with warm water and a large amount of dissolved Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulphate. The high salt concentration allows the water to support your body naturally.

You do not need to be able to swim, and you do not have to make any effort to stay afloat.

The water is approximately the same temperature as your skin. After a while, it can feel as though the boundary between your body and the water is beginning to disappear.

There is really only one thing you need to do:

Nothing.

And that is precisely what many people find both surprisingly difficult and wonderfully relaxing.
