Rejuvenation

WHAT IS FLOATING?
A floating session is a luxurious escape from the constant stress of life's daily pressures. Here, at the Health Integration Center you can leave the daily noise and counfusion behind, and, perhaps for the first time in your life, experience total relaxation and deep healing in your private, peacefull space. An extremely powerful tool for improving health - the floatation spa therapy has been found to consistently provide great relief from mental and physical stress, fatigue, chronic pain and various forms of arthritis. All the auto-immune conditions with emotional variables have been shown to improve significantly with floating therapy as well as ADD & ADHD. Virtually every person who has integrated floating into their lifestyle has benefited from one or more of the following health benefits: lowered blood pressure, improved sleep, concentration and focus, creativity and less anxiety, depression and pain. Floatation sessions have also aided in producing positive behaviour changes such as losing weight, quiting smoking and other addictions, obsessions and compulsions.

EXPERIENCE WEIGHTLESSNESS:
Doctors have observed that maintaining the body erect against the force of gravity creates stress on the spine and joints and maybe part of the cause of arthritis and other uncomfortable, painful conditions. By allowing the body to float this stress is temporarily alleviated, allowing muscles and joints to relax and heal faster. No training, preparation or skill is required. You cannot sink. Anyone, regardless of body type will float like a cork, effortlessly, on top of the heated Epsom salt water solution.

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE:
By relaxing the analytical, mathematical, detailed side of our mind, floating induces whole-brain information thinking where we can become more creative, holistic and expressive. In the float environment our ability to absorb information and achieve desired goals is greatly enhanced through visualization and positive thinking. Athletic coordination and performance is also improved thru greater stamina, speed, strength and quicker recovery time from intense workouts. Flotation spa therapy is recommend by sports trainers and martial artists all over the world and is used as a high-tech training tool by musicians, professional trainers and athletes. Muscle Memory Programming is highly improved by watching training videos after floating.

REJUVENATION:
Based upon the therapuetic powers of the mineral-rich dead sea, the Epsom salts used in flotation spa therapy draw toxins to the surface of the skin - giving your body a powerful systemic detoxification. Mineral spa therapy, before or after the Far-Infra-Red (FIR) sauna, helps to strenghthen the defense system, trigger the release of endorphins and reduce the level of harmful biochemicals in your systems. Floaters speak of seeing things anew and describe the world as fresh, glowing, intensified and much more vivid. One becomes stronger, healther and happier.

THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY:
A survey of family physicians found that more than half of those surveyed regurlarly use and prescribe some form of alternative therapy or have tried it themselves. The American Medical Association recently suggested that its members "become better informed regarding the practices and techniques of alternative or unconventional medicine". Medical research includes numerous studies on the healthful benefits of floating.

YOUR FIRST FLOAT
As you enter your secluded mineral spa your body is gently craddled by the warm salt water. You are instantly weightless, floating peacefully and effortlessly on your back. Enjoying the freedom from light, noise and gravity your body relaxes and releases the tension it has been holding. After several floats your mind stops its constant chattering and brain-wave activity is reduced, resulting in a deep state of mental and physical relaxation. You're now in a stress-free world of limitless potential, unaware of time and space. The noisy left brain slows like a giant generator whose plug has been pulled and the playful right side of the brain soars with pleasure. Your healing has begun. While floating motionless feel what goes on inside your body-mind and spirit. In this loving, accepting and supportive atmosphere you are free to think, be or feel whatever you wish. You become what you think - fast. An hour passes like several minutes as if awakening from a deep sleep or therapuetic massage. You are now renewed, relaxed and come out glowing and radiant. Your skin is toned, more elastic and refreshed. Your mind clear and alert. Tonight you will sleep deeply and comfortably and a feeling of noticable well-being, will stay with you for days to come. No swimwear is permitted.

OUR SPA FACILITY
Over 60 years of research and engineering has gone into the design of mineral spas. Our therapeutic environment is safe, helpful and fun. We are part of an alliance of facilities around the world who have chosen the salt spring mineral environment as a healing tool. It is a luxurious arranged spa, easy to use, complete with private shower, dressing area and all amenities for your comfort and enjoyment. Our spa is completely sanitary; purified before and after every visit with a powerful swimming pool filter, an ozone generator and ultra violet lights. Of particular interest is the newly designed size of the spa. It is a custom design big enough for two people and is opened by a sliding door. It has a high ceiling, fresh air vents and controlled light and music capability. This state of the art design lends one the feeling of spaciousness and comfort. Before one enters the spa there will be a short video to orient you (and your significant other?) to the possibilites of floating. Our pleasure is in the serving.
