Blissful Float Spa

Our team is dedicated to providing the best experience to our clients. Floatation is a free floating of the body on the water surface in floating tanks filled with water and Epsom salt, providing adequate buoyancy. The buoyancy created effectively removes the effects of gravity on the body, and brings the individual close to an experience of total weightlessness. Unless you are an astronaut, this is the only situation you will encounter where your body is free from the harmful forces of gravity. A huge amount of brain-power is used every second in order to deal with the strain that gravity places on one’s body but now floating weightlessly your body is perfectly supported by a cushion of silky body
temperature liquid. The body temperature of the water means that once you are settled in the tank, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact with the water and those that aren’t. The body drifts in conditions of complete sensory isolation from external stimuli. Sounds, images, touch, the force of gravity disappear... Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (which together account for 90% of normal neuro-muscular activity), you conserve and redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy. The ultra-deep relaxation of floating “resets” the body’s hormonal and metabolic balance, accelerating recovery from the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise. With no commands needing to be sent out, the logical side of the brain is rendered redundant, and its activity slows down until it synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the individual in a dreamlike state, akin to the thoughts experienced just before you go to sleep. In this state, the brain releases vast amounts of endorphins. While the state of relaxation may be deep and profound, the individual’s brain stays dreamily alert. The brain gradually shifts from its usual waking beta state to generate deep alpha, theta or even delta waves, the state-of-mind that Buddhist monks try to reach through hours of meditation and years of training. You can achieve this in a matter of minutes just by lying back into the silky warm sea of bliss that is the floatation experience! Don't be misled by the word 'salt': there is big difference between the salt you season your food and the Epson Salt. In fact, they're totally different mineral compounds. Epsom salt is a mineral compound of magnesium and MgSO4 sulphate. It was first discovered in England in the 17th century during a drought. A local cowherd had stopped with his cattle on Epsom common at a pool of water that the cows were refusing to drink from. The water had mostly evaporated, leaving behind a salt that was extremely bitter in taste. Epsom became a popular destination with visitors with a range of health conditions swigging pints of Epsomite dissolved in water. Scientists eventually found Epsom salt to have a whole range of health benefits. Thanks to the main ingredient, magnesium, it reduces inflammation, flashes out toxins, improve skin, reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, improves the use of oxygen in cells, reduces the risk of vascular diseases, has a positive effect on the immune system, joint pain and muscle cramps and regulates the action of over 300 enzymes. In turn, sulphates facilitate the cellular absorption of nutrients, stimulate the digestive functions of the pancreas, help detoxify the body and alleviate headaches and migraines. Studies have shown that magnesium and sulphate are easily absorbed through the skin, so an Epsom salt bath is the perfect way to enrich your body with these two ingredients.

Blissful Float Spa, located in the heart of Kingston Upon Thames, offers a luxury experience of floating in specious tanks filled with Epsom Salts / magnesium sulphate, infrared sauna, massage chair and dry-hydrotherapy.

While Epsom Salts provide magnesium absorption and anti-inflammatory propoeries, the zero gravity effect works wonders for decompressing the spine, releasing pain, tension and pressure from joints, muscles and nerves. It gives powerfull relief from bad back, muscles tension, fibromyalgia, arthritis, sciatica, and any chronic pain. It almost feels like you have no body!

The lack of sensory input enables a deep meditative state, which effectively regulates your nervous system, switches off "fight or flight mode" and provides a powerful stress, anxiety and insomnia relief.

Infrared Sauna is a perfect tool for muscles recovery, heart health, blood circulation, detox, metabolism, immunity and skin health.

Our massage chair with leg and arm compression is great for a quick relief of back pain and sore, swollen legs & tension release.

Dry-hydrotherapy massage bed offers a powerful massage using pulsating water jets (like in a hot tub but you don't get wet).

This concept highlights the importance of stepping back from our busy lives to allow our minds and bodies the space to reset and reflect. In our fast-paced world, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, stressors, and constant distractions. This can lead to mental clutter, anxiety, and a lack of clarity about our priorities and goals.

When we take a pause—whether through meditation, mindfulness, or simply spending time in silence—we create the opportunity to reassess our thoughts and feelings. This quiet time can help us gain insight into our lives, enabling us to see things more clearly, prioritize what truly matters, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our experiences.

Floatation therapy is an excellent way to facilitate this process. By immersing yourself in a float tank, you are removed from the external stimuli of the world—no light, no sound, and no distractions. This environment encourages deep relaxation and allows your mind to enter a meditative state. As the body floats effortlessly in warm, buoyant water, tension dissipates, and stress melts away.

In this state of tranquillit, many find that they can better explore their thoughts and emotions without the usual noise of everyday life. It becomes easier to confront unresolved issues, contemplate life decisions, and access a sense of inner peace. The weightlessness of floating allows for a unique freedom, both physically and mentally, helping you to recognize the importance of self-care and reflection.

Furthermore, the physiological benefits of floatation therapy—such as reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, and lowered blood pressure—contribute to an overall sense of well-being. This physical relaxation can lead to clearer thinking and a more positive outlook, reinforcing the idea that taking time to do nothing is not only beneficial but essential for our mental and emotional health.

In essence, floatation therapy provides a sanctuary for introspection, allowing us to step away from the chaos of life and gain a fresh perspective on our circumstances, ultimately leading to greater clarity and tranquility

We regularly have artists, directors, or video producers coming for a float and then sitting in a relaxation room writing down their thoughts in their notebooks. A lot of people can benefit from this practice.

You may be looking for new ideas for your social media content or struggling with essey for school. You may also discover some new ideas and solutions for your problems or release some deeply suppressed emotions that resurfaced during your float, and you would like to continue to process them by journaling your thoughts and feelings.

In any case, writing down your thoughts immediately after a float session can be beneficial for several reasons:

1. Capturing your thoughts while they're fresh helps ensure you don’t forget insights or feelings that may fade quickly.

2. Documenting your reflections, creative breakthroughs, or unique insights that you experienced during a float can lead to new ideas or solutions to problems.

3. Emotional processing - writing your feelings down allows for better processing and understanding of these feelings, which can be therapeutic.

4. Tracking Progress - keeping a journal of your float sessions can help you track changes in your thoughts, feelings, or overall well-being over time, allowing you to see patterns and growth.

So take a notebook with you, use any notebook app on your phone, or ask us for a piece of paper whenever you have something to write after your float!

Chronic exposure to narcissistic abuse can lead your nervous system to remain in a constant state of fight-or-flight or survival mode. This often results in heightened anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and sensitivity to the energies of others. Your survival instinct is working to protect you from emotional attacks by the narcissist, making you feel as though you must walk on eggshells around them.

Floating will regulate your amygdala and lower cortisol levels, allowing you to shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into a calmer state. With regular floating sessions, you can relearn how to feel safe, calm, and at ease again.

Furthermore, the quiet and introspective nature of floating provides an opportunity to process your emotions and experiences. This is especially important if you are recovering from trauma, as it encourages self-reflection and emotional healing.

In addition, floating enhances mental clarity and focus, helping you gain perspective on your experiences and develop effective coping strategies for dealing with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse.

The meditative state achieved during floating promotes greater self-awareness, empowering you to recognize patterns of behaviour, set boundaries, and make healthier choices moving forward. Practising mindfulness while floating can help you detach from negative thought patterns and feelings associated with your past experiences.

Moreover, floating can alleviate physical tension and pain, often exacerbated by the stress and anxiety associated with abusive relationships. This physical relief contributes to your overall well-being.

By dedicating time to self-care through floating, you reinforce your sense of self-worth and prioritize your own needs, which is crucial in the recovery process from narcissistic abuse.

In summary, floating is a valuable tool for healing, offering a sanctuary for relaxation, reflection, and personal growth for you and anyone who has faced the challenges of narcissistic abuse.

Our standard float sessions start with 10min of music, followed by 45min of silence and 5min of music at the end of the session.

Silence is the key aspect of floatation therapy, which aims to reduce external stimuli like light, sound, and touch. This sensory deprivation helps the mind to detach from the outside world and enter a state of deep relaxation, similar to meditation. As you float weightless in the silence and darkness, you allow your nervous system to reset. It's like detox for your brain. It may feel unatural, boring, or unsettling at first, and it takes a couple of sessions to get used to it, but once you do get used to it, the experience is truly rewarding. Usually floaters who struggle with the silence the most, are the ones who are the most addicted from the constant bombardment of external stimuli, and they benefit the most from silent float, once they get used to it.

Embracing silence during float sessions can significantly enhance the experience. You can fully immerse yourself in the calming environment, and it encourages mindfulness and self-awareness. You can focus on your thoughts and feelings without the noise of the outside world, leading to valuable insights and personal growth. The absence of sound can help reduce stress levels. You disconnect from your daily worries and experience a profound sense of peace. Silence provides an opportunity for introspection. You can use this time to reflect on their lives, goals, and aspirations, leading to clarity and motivation.

Therefore, we wholeheartedly encourage all floaters to see silence as a gift—a time to nurture their minds and bodies, which can unlock a deeper level of relaxation and rejuvenation. Especially that they pay a significant amount of money to experience it!

Saying that, we totally understand if you are not interested in the mental aspect of floating, and you float just for pain relief or other physical reasons rather than relaxation or meditation. In this case, ask for the music throughout the whole session when you come for your next appointment, and we will happily put it for you.

Meditation offers a variety of benefits:
1. Increased emotional intelligence, by improving self-awareness and emotional regulation.
2. Improved relationships by promoting empathy and reducing reactivity.
3. Greater resilience, by developing resilience against stress and adversity, helping individuals to cope better with challenges and setbacks, building skills to manage stress, and reducing negative thoughts.
4. Decreased impulsivity, by encouraging a pause between stimulus and response.
5. Reduction of age related cognitive decline by promoting brain health and neuroplasticity.
6. Better sleep quality by alleviating anxiety and racing thoughts and lowering resting heart rate.

Unfortunately, meditation can be difficult at first, not only mentally but also physically. Taking the traditional meditation position, the aches and cramps that arise in the body become a source of pain and discomfort, which leads to mental distraction. Some religions may be even against performing yoga poses.

While floating, you don't need to make any poses! Additionally, buoyancy of the water and healing effects of Epsom Salt eases physical tension and pain, which can be distracting during meditation.

Floating done in a sensory deprivation tank can significantly enhance meditation practice. It basically does the work for you by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, releasing Theta waves, reducing distractions, increasing awareness, and improving focus.
