Imagine total peace and weightlessness. You are in a sensory deprivation pool with body-tempered salt water (35 degrees). The limited sensory impression and high percentage of salt in the water creates the illusion that you are soaring in total peace. Your thoughts are quieted, your body is quickly recovering and you experience an increased ability to let go of stress and an elevated energy level.
Treat yourself by simply indulging in the experience. We are more than glad to help you. You can read about your first Floating experience in our Float-Guide.
The history of Floating
Created more than 70 years ago
Floating was created in the 1950s in the USA by psychiatrist and neurologist Dr. John C. Lilly. He wanted to study the effects of isolating the brain and find answers to unanswered questions about the human mind. The treatment has ever since impacted people and shown a long list of positive results.
A special experience
The unique environment of the Float pod
The special floating environment is not like anything else and should be experienced in person because every session is an individual and unique experience. Floating does not only need to be used by people with mental or physical problems, but it can be used by anyone who wants a better quality of life and self-awareness.
Discover your potential of full focus
Think more clearly
Floating is an opening into a deep meditative state because the reduced sensory input and sense of weightlessness free you from distractions and make it easier to find peace in the mind. Floating removes external influences which allow you to concentrate on your inner peace and balance: your focus. You will not only find that you are getting better at managing stress, but you will also be able to think more clearly.
Improved sleep
Equals 4-8 hours of sleep
You will experience a special and deep relaxation when floating. It washes away tiredness. You can restart your circadian rhythm, remove jet lag and restore your natural energy when you decrease sensory input. This makes Floating ideal for people with changeable weekdays or many travel days.

Good to know
The many advantages of floating
- Reduce stress, anxiety and depression
- Longs for personal development
- Possibility of changing a habit
- Pain relief for the body
- Improving health
- Faster recovery and rehabilitation
- The great effect epsom salt has on the body
- General well-being
Multiple studies show that floating has a positive effect on stress, anxiety and depression by quickly and effectively reducing biochemicals that directly affect these conditions.
The fight or flight response is deactivated, adrenaline production is blocked, and anti-stress hormones are released.
In addition, the production of adrenaline and cortisol is inhibited.
Due to these hormonal advantages, floating can also be the key to recovery from depression.
The deep rest you obtain by floating washes the fatigue away, and one float can feel just as recreating as a full night’s sleep.
Several users report significantly better sleep patterns after having tried regular floating.
A floating session can have the same effect as 4-8 hours of sleep.
By limiting the sensory input, you give your senses a whole new form of inner peace that can help restart your daily rhythm or remove jet lag. This makes floating especially good for people working shifts, night shifts or who travel a lot.
Floating in an environment with limited sensory input isolates the brain and it switches from beta to theta brain waves, which is the condition we experience in REM sleep and deep meditation.
Theta waves have 3 superior advantages:
- Super-learning
The brain absorbes information faster and the memory is boosted. - Increased creativity
Being in a state with low frequencies mainly stimulates the right hemisphere – the creative part of the brain. - Increased visualization
Especially for professional athletes before competitions and speakers before speeches.
Floating is an opening to deeper meditation.
The reduced sensory input and the weightlessness remove distractions, your mind can relax, and you can reach deeper meditative states.
The ancient technique to direct focus inwards is very effective against stress, anxiety and much more.
Many find it hard to sit down and block out thoughts, but floating can remove those influences and make it easier for you to concentrate on you and your inner peace and balance.
The calm float environment gives you the opportunity to change unwanted behaviors and be your best self.
Through regular floating you can take a break from external stimulants so you can react from an authentic place.
The float tank can have the same function as traditional hypnosis, only via self-hypnosis.
You can dive into your subconscious and change your daily patterns. Floating has been especially helpful for people who want to lose weight or quit smoking.
Studies show that floating stimulates the brain to release endorphins in the hypophysis. Endorphins are the body’s own pain-relieving chemical, which blocks pain and stimulates joy and ecstasy.
In the weightless environment, muscles and joints are relieved, the blood flow increases, and this all has a healing effect. Especially people with chronic pains from arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain, etc., experience relief with floating therapy.
Also people with migraine have experienced relief in the float pod due to the beneficial salt mineral, magnesium sulphate.
Floating has a general positive effect on your health:
It increases blood circulation and lowers blood pressure as well as the amount of stress hormones in the body.
This has a positive effect on your immune system, digestive system and the endocrine system, which is responsible for communication between the body’s hormones and important organs.
Floating breaks down lactic acid, and no matter what type of sport you practice, you will bounce back quicker.
Rehabilitation and recovery are shortened and you can start doing what you love sooner.
Increased blood circulation aids the transport of oxygen and nutrients in the body.
Furthermore, muscles and joints relax and blood supply to strained and damaged areas increases, reduces inflammation and helps repair muscle tissue faster.
Floating is also proven to have an effect on broken bones and sprained joints and thus speeds up rehabilitation.
Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, plays an important role in the body’s metabolism, including interaction with hundreds of different enzymes.
The magnesium also plays an important role in transfer of nerve impulses to muscles and the heart, which makes them contract.
It reduces migraine, improves sleep quality.
To top off the experience, one hour in the salty bath makes your skin and hair soft.
Floating can help you to disconnect and optimize your energy in everyday life.
You will feel motivated and energized after your float.
It’s great to feel good, and you don’t have to be sick or injured to spoil yourself.
Feel free to bring a friend if you want to share the experience with someone you love.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Flere undersøgelser iblandt nuværende brugere af floatcentre, som lider af klaustrofobi, viser at 90% af dem ikke får denne følelse, når de har lagt sig til rette i tanken.
Dette skyldes bl.a., at det ligger i menneskets natur automatisk at slappe af, når vi befinder os i et roligt, stille og afslappende miljø, hvilket tanken afspejler.
Det er vigtigt at understrege, at du er i fuld kontrol over dine omgivelser, når du befinder dig i tanken.
Tankens størrelse gør, at du ikke føler dig indelukket, og der er også friskluftsindtag.
Du kan evt. prøve med låget åben eller have lyset tændt, hvis du tænker, det bliver for klaustrofobisk.
Filtret rengør helt ned på nano-niveau og fjerner partikler, der er 100 gange mindre end et hår.
Saltet i tanken er også naturligt desinficerende, som neutraliserer eventuelle bakterier.
Brugerne skal desuden altid gå i bad inden og efter en floatsession.
Floattanke har været i brug i mere end 60 år, og der er stadig ikke fundet et tilfælde, hvor en bruger er blevet syg af at opholde sig i tanken
Du kan trygt og sikkert falde i søvn i tanken.
Grunden til, at folk tror, at det er farligt at falde i søvn, er, frygten for, at man ruller om på siden.
Saltindholdet gør, at du vil flyde, så du skal ikke være bange for at lade din krop slappe helt af under din session.
For os er floating ikke en engangsforestilling, ligesom oplevelsen aldrig bliver fuldstændig fuldendt.
Der er adskillige videnskabelige undersøgelser, der viser, at floating har en akkumulerende effekt på kroppen.
Hvis du floater af en bestemt årsag som f.eks. smertelindring, kræver det som regel ikke mere end ét eller to forsøg på at opnå den ønskede effekt.
Under en floatsession vil du opleve, at al den vægt, som dit kommende barn har tilført din krop, automatisk vil forsvinde i den vægtløse tilstand. Dette er utroligt lindrende og har en behagelig effekt for gravide kvinder, som ellers oplever et stort fysisk pres på kroppen.
Der er også mange beretninger om, at gravide kvinder har opnået en meget intim forbindelse med barnet i maven under en floatsession.
Vi anbefaler selvfølgelig, at du snakker med din læge og jordemoder, inden du booker en tid.
Vi anbefaler også, at du ikke barberer eller vokser dig lige inden, da saltet i så fald vil svie.
Ved at spise et let måltid 60-90 minutter inden din tid, slipper du for, at din mave skaber distraktioner, mens du floater.
Ligeledes anbefaler vi, at du ikke drikker for meget inden – så undgår du følelsen af at have brug for at komme på toilettet.
Vi anbefaler også, at du læser vores indlæg ”Før dit første float”, så du er godt forberedt.
Ligeledes folk med smitsomme sygdomme.
Vi anbefaler heller ikke, at du floater, hvis du lider af en sygdom, der giver anfald som f.eks. epilepsi.
Ligeledes anbefaler vi heller ikke, at du bruger floattanken, hvis du ikke selvstændigt selv kan komme i og op uden assistance.
Hvis du har floatet hos os før, skal du huske at medbringe dine ørepropper, som du fik udleveret første gang.
Ellers skal du som udgangspunkt ikke medbringe noget.
Men vi vil anbefale, hvis du har langt hår, at du så medbringer elastik og egen hårbørste.
Hvis du benytter kontaktlinser, vil det være bedst, at du medbringer noget at lægge dem i, så der ikke kommer saltvand på dem.
Ellers skal du bare medbringe dig selv, og vi står for resten.
Vores badeprodukter er organiske og allergivenlige.
Du er selvfølgelig altid velkommen til at medbringe dine egne produkter.
Det er selvfølgelig helt op til dig selv, men badetøj og elastikker presser mod kroppen og kan distrahere din oplevelse under dit float.
Husk, at hver floatrum har en dør, der kan låses indefra.
Det er helt op til dig, om du vil blive tiden ud, og du har altid mulighed for at forlade tanken før tid, da du selv har den fulde kontrol over situationen. Så løfter du bare låget og stiger ud.
Din hud bløder ikke op, som du normalt vil opleve.
Epsomsaltet er tværtimod fordelagtig for din hud, hvilket du også straks vil mærke efterfølgende
De typiske oplevelser er en fornemmelse af total ro og afslapning samt dyb koncentration og kreativ tænkning.
Oplevelsen er dog helt din egen, og vi vil rigtig gerne høre om den, når du er færdig.
Mange oplever deres post-float som en meget rolig og afstressende følelse.
Du er derfor meget velkommen til at sætte dig i vores chill-out-lounge og nyde oplevelsen efterfølgende.

- Du tager et bad både før og efter dit float
- Vi har øget afstanden mellem starttider, så ingen overlapper hinanden
At holde Float Studio rent og sikkert er vores første prioritet.

Desuden har The CDC (Center for Disease of Control) udtalt:
“There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs.
Proper operation, maintenance and disinfection of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.″
“COVID-19 is not spread in water, such as float water.”
