In today's fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquility and inner peace can be a challenge. That's where sensory deprivation floating, also known as float therapy, comes in. At Halcyon Floats, we understand that you may have questions about this unique and transformative experience. To provide clarity and insight, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about sensory deprivation floating.


1. What is Sensory Deprivation Floating?

  • Sensory deprivation floating involves immersing yourself in a buoyant saltwater solution within a specially designed tank or pod. The experience removes external sensory input, allowing you to float effortlessly in a peaceful and weightless environment.

2. Is It Claustrophobic Inside the Float Tank?

  • Not at all. Float tanks are designed to provide ample space and a sense of openness. You have complete control over the experience, including the option to leave the tank's lid open if you prefer more ventilation.

3. Will I Float Easily?

  • Yes, absolutely. The buoyancy of the saltwater solution makes floating effortless. You'll effortlessly remain at the surface, free from the need to tread water.
