Floatation Therapy Offers New Design For More Relaxation

You might remember the 1980 film "Altered States" where people were first shown in a restricted sensory atmosphere in floatation tanks. What may have seemed weird and futuristic then has come home to rest.

Floataway, a London-based company considered cutting-edge in the floatation business has created a tank for home use that requires no special plumbing and a dual-float tank for the couple who wants to float together.

Floatation therapy tanks have been around since 1964. They evolved after a typical western-minded quest to find a faster way to reach a depth of relaxation which takes years to achieve by classical meditation techniques. By using the natural relaxation response to floating in water, and subtle sensory deprivation, these tanks take your meditative mind from zero to 60, uh, in a relaxing way.
