Before you begin your journey into deep space, be sure to read over these tips to get the most out of your experience. To ensure you are prepared for your first float, be sure to read through this section as well as the FAQs below.
Avoid Caffeine
While it is not mandatory to avoid caffeine before you float, we strongly recommend it. Caffeine can make it more difficult for you to relax your mind and let go. The caveat is, if you are using flotation for creativity or visualization, a little caffeine can be beneficial.
Eat a Light Meal
It is best to follow the middle way with food and drink prior to floating. Eat a light meal or a snack about an hour before your appointment, and don't drink too much liquid. You may also want to avoid overly spicy foods since you will be horizontal while floating.
Come in Relaxed
You may be stepping down from a busy mind to a deeply relaxed state of mind, and it is best to do this gradually. Doing some relaxation exercises before you float will greatly improve your experience in the tank. Some breath work or yoga may help with this transition.
Silence Your Phone
This is your chance to be completely without distractions. We do require that all electronics are silenced within the doors of Theta and if you need to take a call, we ask that you step outside or visit the washroom.
Ask Your Doctor
If you have a pacemaker, epilepsy, eczema, or if you have any other medical conditions and are unsure if floating is right for you, ask your doctor what is best.
Let Go
It's important to remember that this is your experience, and that there is no wrong way to float, except face down, that’s no good. Explore the infinite possibilities of your mind, watch your thoughts as they float by and let them go!
