Heavy workloads, long hours, hectic schedules and overstimulation leave us feeling stressed and depleted. Floatation is the antidote to the chaos of modern life, enabling total relaxation of the mind, body and nervous system.

At our meditation centre Perth; state-of-the-art floatation tanks and the comfortable feeling they provide enable you to truly unplug and disconnect; blocking out all visual, audio, and tactile distractions. Floating is the ideal opportunity to practice meditation and mindfulness. Buoyancy created by the Epsom salts allow you to float effortlessly, allowing the spine to decompress, while your body benefits from the healing properties of magnesium from within the calming salts.

SALT is open daily from 9am until late (closing times may vary*).

*Please note that bookings are essential for late evening sessions.

Several well-known news & health mediums have reported on the positive mental and physical benefits that floatation has on our lives. Here are a few notable links:

How Floatation Therapy Can Help You Achieve Total Relaxation

Modern life is very busy, and the stresses can seem overwhelming! Between the pressure of long working hours, work overload, demanding schedules and a constant connection to the world outside yourself – sometimes we just need a moment to PAUSE ourselves.

Imagine if you could get your mind, body and nervous system entirely in sync. What would that feel like? Total relaxation is possible with SALT floatation therapy. This revolutionary treatment is the remedy you never knew you needed, AND you get to experience it right here in Perth! Floatation therapy has actually been practiced for over 50 years, yet it is still widely un-recognized. Only until recently Perth-based Surgeons, Physio-therapists, Chiropractors, Psychiatrists and specialist Sleep Doctors have been referring their patients directly to SALT and sleep therapy Perth.

 

SALT is a state-of-the-art floatation centre with facilities that enable you to ‘regroup’ your entire physical & mental being in a calm environment. Our floatation tanks are designed to create positive isolation, helping you unplug from the bustling world around you. All visual, audio and physical stimuli are blocked out to limit sensory input during your float session. Think of our float tanks as “white noise” machine for your entire body & mind.

When you float, your body rests effortlessly in super-saturated ‘pure magnesium sulphate’ (Epsom salts). With the 36°C ambient temperature inside the float pod or Spa (air & water), your skin is unable to distinguish between the two: you feel as though you are un-attached from your physical body without gravity or pressure points. Your spine de-compresses and through the process of osmosis your skin absorbs magnesium (which acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and calmative).

Some of the benefits of regular floatation include:

Relief of Physical Pain

Numerous academic studies have shown that floating in magnesium-rich water improves the flow of blood throughout the body, decreasing muscular pain. People suffering from muscle pain as a result of physical activity or rooted in stress stand to benefit greatly from spending time in a floatation pods due to the simple effects of magnesium being absorbed through the skin. Also, when floating your body is at ‘perfect equilibrium’ which allows all muscles, joints and vertebrae to re-align into their natural position! And we all know that manageable physical pain makes for an improved quality of life!

Enhanced Athletic Performance

Muscle stiffness from physical activity can be reduced through floatation therapy. The gravity-defying exercise in near-weightlessness releases lactic acid from the muscles faster, meaning you’ll always be on top form. The sensory deprivation aspect of the tanks also improves focus levels (due to decreased sensory input from external stimuli), which can enhance physical preparation & performance.

A Creative Boost

Meditation during floatation sessions increases mental clarity, even with basic breathing techniques. A Music and Medicine study found that musicians showed increased technical fluency after 4 weeks of float sessions. The exceptional jazz improvisations performed afterwards made a clear case for enhanced creativity.

As you can see, at SALT there’s something to “float your boat” – no matter who you are or what you do. Take the chance to experience a refreshed YOU with more calm, clear body & mind. Book an appointment that will change your life today!

An Ideal, Serene Meditation Experience

Meditation has been a highly effective practice for hundreds upon hundreds of years, helping people re-align and centre themselves, calm their minds, and find balance both inward and out. The need for a quiet environment free from distraction is pivotal to successfully reaching a state of calm needed to meditate. Unfortunately, our busy living environments rarely allow us the opportunity to truly maximise the effectiveness of a meditative state, especially for those still learning how to reach a state where they can truly calm and quiet their minds. Visiting a float centre’s float tanks immediately and effectively cuts out all the distraction, sights and sounds of the world, allowing you to glide into a deeply relaxed state in a very short period of time. If you’re already practising meditation, we encourage you to give float therapy a try and discover how much more enhanced and effective your meditation becomes. For beginners, float therapy is also excellent, as it automatically creates a meditative state in users without them even needing to try.

 

The removal of all external stimuli creates an environment where mindfulness is achieved optimally, allowing you to either focus heavily on an idea you’ve been wanting to work on or solve a problem that has been frustrating you for some time. With no distractions around you, you’ll also become acutely aware of the state of your body and all its processes – a sensory perception known as enteroception. This is an incredible sense to further develop as you will come to understand your body better, identify and target individuals organs like your heart or lungs, and dedicate focused attention to how you’re breathing and functioning. With sufficient training, you will be able to regulate your pulse, heart rate, breathing and other physical functions on a conscious level, even when you’re going about your normal daily life. We invite you to discover how mindfulness and meditation can positively transform your mind and body, with the help of a salt float spa.
