It gives you this really cool, optimal space to have a conversation with yourself and that you normally wouldn't either take the time or be willing to go that deep.
Imagine being suspended in twelve inches of water, with half a ton of salt, at a temperature just right to match your skin. No sound, no light—just you and your thoughts. Does that sound like heaven or something out of a sci-fi movie? In this episode of 'The Shift Show', hosts Zac Erickson and the ShiftGrit team sit down with Matthew Smith and Jamie Phillips, founders of Modern Gravity, to explore the intriguing world of floating.
These experts share the journey of how floating has evolved from a niche practice to a mainstream mindfulness technique, especially popular among athletes for its physical recovery benefits. But it’s not just about the body; floating offers a unique space for deep introspection and self-awareness. Much like meditation or yoga, it provides a safe environment to confront your stressors, fears, and limiting beliefs.
Smith and Phillips delve into the science behind floating, recounting fascinating studies and personal stories from their Edmonton center that showcase its mental and emotional benefits. You’ll also hear firsthand about Zac’s own floating experience—spoiler alert: it’s both weird and wonderful. Whether you’re curious about new relaxation techniques or seeking ways to enhance your mental well-being, this episode offers plenty of food for thought. So why not take the plunge and see what floating can do for you?
