Moment of (floating) zen, Biz travel

I was so inspired by Jaime’s float adventure that I looked online to see if there were any float places in Arizona. Believe it or not, there is a new “float spa” about 3 miles from me! I went on Saturday for my first float and have one booked for next week. I loved it. I had always wanted to try a sensory deprivation tank. Of course, now they’re called flotation therapy pods, but whatevs.

Here’s a picture from their website.

How could you go wrong with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts, right? Throw in darkness and silence, and you’ve got a perfect environment. The only other thing I wish they had (“Oxygen bar,” you’re thinking, right? “They should have an oxygen bar!” Well, they do. In a darkened room with a huge round fish tank.) — so the other thing they should have is an EEG machine so you can check out your brain waves afterwards. I felt like I shifted into theta in about 30 seconds.

Up early for practice this morning, then off to DC for the week. Heading to an executive compensation conference, then an advisory board meeting at our DC office. Gonna be long hours and very early mornings, so it’ll be hotel practices only. At least I’ll be treated to some nice humidity.

The Cop is taking a couple of days off to dog-sit. Daisy is too young to spend a whole work shift in her crate, so he’ll be hanging out with Waylon and “Little Pig” (her nickname since she snorts as she bustles about the house and yard).

    how cool you got to try that tank. i imagine you can do Zen meditation in there really well. maybe i should find out if they have them here. i have not seem them advertised, and this is a place with many spas.

  2. Looks like you could get a tan from the floating pod too! ha ha!!

    The only thing I would want to add is being able to have a bag of chips and a ginger ale while I floated.

  3. Thanks for the link! Just catching up on blog reading now (while procrastinating at work), how did I miss this?! The floating pod in your neighbourhood looks like a little rave party’s going on inside!

    Liz – I’m imagining you with sunnies on while you munch away in the tank. HAHAHA!
