A great article written by Anna Maxted as she shares how she felt when she tried Floatation therapy in London.
For a moment, I feel like an astronaut, tumbling through outer space. It’s warm and dark, and I’m floating weightless, adrift in the universe. The image in my head, as I swirl in the black nothingness, is of Sandra Bullock in the film Gravity, turning head over heels, through infinity.
Actually, I’m buoyed up in a tiny shallow pool of very salty water at Floatworks in South London.
Developed in the Fifties by a neuroscientist to investigate how sensory deprivation affects consciousness, the flotation tank has been a niche trend among New-Agers for decades. Now, however, it’s been updated for the 21st century, with an A-list following that includes Elle Macpherson, and actress Naomie Harris.
