What is Floating ?

Restrictive Environmental Stimulation (REST), commonly known as Floatation, is about floating in a 25cm deep pool of salt in a specially designed tank, resembling a large bathtub.  It is constructed from fibreglass and is built so as to minimise outside distractions such as light, sound, tactile sensations and gravity.  A large amount of Epsom salts is added to the water to create optimal, effortless, buoyancy.  The water is warmed to body temperature, 35.5 centigrade.  All these elements help create an atmosphere in which one can achieve a profound feeling of relaxation and well-being.

The Floatation pool, at the Cornmill, is located within a self-contained room, complete with changing facilities, shower cubicle and hair drier.
For the first ten minutes of your float, suitable music is played to help you settle and relax.  This is then turned off to allow you to be in silence.  As you settle in the pool, with earplugs in and, if you wish, the floatation pool lights off, the quietness and the darkness allows your mind to drift into a deep state of relaxation.  Simultaneously, every muscle is allowed to rest and recover taking the pressure and tension from those strained bones and joints.
At the end of your float, the music returns to bring you back to reality.
The shower is used before and after each float.
