Can I give more than 5 stars??? My float therapy experience was beyond what I imagined. I have raved about this to my family and friends and I want to share my experience. First, I was greeted by the employee with the kindest welcome and walk through of what to expect. He gave me some details on how to customize my experience and some expert tips on how to enjoy the float. He recommended putting in the earplugs before taking a rinse. This helped seal my ears before any moisture could get in. Expert tip.
I had been told by a few people the first 10 or so minutes were needed to get acquainted with the experience. Fully be prepared for your mind to be blown and give yourself a little grace as you adjust to the complete relaxation. I chose to use the neck support which helped me let go of the idea I needed to support my neck (it was all mental). After I got used to the weightlessness of the tank I enjoyed stretching out and allowing all tension to leave my back. I honestly took a little snooze while I was in there I was so relaxed.
I've told my friends and family my favorite part was the ability to completely shut off. I love a nice, relaxing massage but I struggle to turn off my thoughts. This was meditative, I was present in the moment and walking away I was very energized from the experience. I am really thankful for the safe space to try something new. It was amazing and I would...
   Read moreWow! I have wanted to try this for a long time. I was initially worried about cleanliness & claustrophobia, but as soon as I arrived I was no longer concerned. It was a very clean and inviting space. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly. First, there is a comfy, calm meditation area to use. The room with the tank is warm and has its own shower with plenty of towels and other amenities. You really donât need to bring anything! You have the option to turn on a small light in the tank, or propping the door open with a towel, but I opted to have it closed with no light, and I used the ear plugs to get the full feeling of dark, calm & quiet. It was amazing. The water is so soft and relaxing. At first I kept wondering how long Iâd been in there, but then realized I should just relax and enjoy, and the music would come on when it was time to get out. I actually fell asleep for a bit. I was so incredibly relaxed afterward. I actually felt lighter. A bit tired, and thirsty, and hungry, but very content. I definitely recommend Float Central in Bend. It was a wonderful experience. Canât wait to...
   Read moreRight as you enter the building you can feel the aura of relaxation. Aloe plants, a humidifier, nautical and organic decorum invite you into the spa-like atmosphere. The owner invited me to take off my shoes and he gave me a run-down of the procedure, and let me know that there's a meditation room available if I need some time to digest before I go back into the world. You get your own room to undress and shower, and enter the chamber at your own pace. There's a light inside that you can turn off when you're ready to be immersed in the darkness. I found the experience to be a time-bending deep meditation, and when I emerged back into the world, it was very opening and relaxing. I went about the rest of the day feeling calm, happy, and in control. I definitely hope to do this again soon, and recommend that anyone who is in Bend on a "Treat Yourself" day, to add this to their list of...
