The Rainbow Connection: Guiding and Enhancing Chromotherapy

Customization: That’s the theme that winds through every aspect of a True REST floating experience. Each True REST Float Pod is developed with the understanding that no two sessions are exactly the same. The lighting installed in each pod is no exception – users can individualize each float by basking in a preferred colored light, or cycling through a calming rainbow of options without interrupting the session. Particularly for followers of chromotherapy, personal control can be vital to maximize their practice. But for every chromotherapy practitioner, many more spa-goers walk […]

Curing Restless Mind Syndrome: Tips & Tricks to Quiet Anxious Thoughts

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags:

We all face those weeks from time to time, and last week was one of them for me. With a move, a holiday, and several looming deadlines, I felt the stress of a mile-long to-do list in my mind, my body, and my spirit. I decided to book a session at True REST later in the week, expecting a float would purge both my stressed energy and my tense shoulders. I settled into my pod with the manic spirit of a woman who had been spent a week running on […]

Give Yourself A REST: The Benefits of Float Therapy for Parents

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags:

When was the last time you worked through lunch? Missed a workout? Skipped your weekly bubble bath? We often add time for ourselves on the to-do list, but somehow those tasks are still left without a check mark at the end of the day. When the surprises of daily life pop up, me-time tends to take a backseat. Some may view mental health breaks as unnecessarily indulgent or selfish – even when they’re vital to meet the needs of demanding careers, hectic family schedules, and active social lives. So how […]

Eat Right, Exercise, Float: How Float Therapy Aids in All Levels of Self Care

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags:

“Self care” has recently become modern society’s newest buzzword du jour. A quick web search for the term begets over 31 million results with articles that cover everything from managing chronic medical conditions, to finding work-life balance, to putting anxious minds at ease with encouraging quotes. Generally speaking, the agreed upon definition of self care is any deliberate, self-controlled action taken to benefit one’s own health or well-being. In an increasingly competitive society that operates around the clock, it’s no wonder so many of us are searching for ways to […]

Choose to Feel Great in 2016…

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags: float therapy, floating, flotation, relaxation, sensory deprivation, true rest

Here we are, at the end of January, 2016—if you’re like many of us, you may have made resolutions—maybe you’ve kept them, or maybe you’ve slipped up (what are you, human?!) What does it mean to resolve, anyways? According to Webster, when we resolve we make a “firm determination” to do something. In other words, we make a real decision—we cut off other alternatives, and in doing so, truly choose. The resolutions we ring in with the new year come in all shapes, colors and sizes—from working out, […]

Making the Time for Ourselves in the Midst of Life.

As a team member of True REST, I especially have no reason to miss my weekly float. But, still there come times where I realize its been several weeks since I entered into the salt-filled oasis of a Float Pod. Its disconcerting, I’m fully aware of how much I love to float—and not just for the experience itself, but for the effects it has on me in the week to follow—mentally, physically and emotionally. I wonder why I so easily skip over spending time doing something I know I value–for […]

Floating Away Anxiety at True REST.

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags: anxiety, float pod, float spa, float tank, float therapy, floating, healing, REST, stress, true rest

When I first began floating, I didn’t have any benefit in mind. I just wanted to experience for myself the “weird” sounding therapy—I wasn’t even aware of the range of offerings it might have for me. My anxiety and panic attacks were just a part of my reality that I had gotten used to—mild panics and mental breakdowns were just another part of the day. It would unfold as so: *queue situation I perceive as awkward*—my face flushes, heart pounds, breathing constricts, thoughts race—subsequent fight or flight unfolds (I usually […]

A Recipe for Feeling Great.

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags: #whywefloat, float pod, float spa, float tank, flotation, relaxation, sensory deprivation, stress, true rest

True REST is The Science of Feeling Great—most of us could probably agree that “Great” is something we want to feel, but what does it mean—and how do floats take us there? Consider that feeling great might not be about addition. Entertain the idea that it may be a subtraction game. I find great comfort in that: “Phew, I don’t need to gain anything, just release what’s weighing me down. “ Floating, after all, doesn’t give you anything—rather, it allows you to take away—stimulus, gravity, tension, stress, […]

A True REST Soft Opening Experience!

By: True REST Float Spa | Tags:

Before a new True REST Float Spa opens to the public, there’s a week of soft launch for working the kinks out and training the staff. This “friends and family” float time gives us valuable feedback on how we can improve from people who care enough to offer it. I floated last Friday as part of the soft launch of the new Scottsdale spa. For this visit, the team was doing a simulation of what the float experience would be for a first-time floater. The first-time experience is incredibly important, […]
