The Best of True REST: A mini series

In the 7 years I’ve been regularly floating, I’ve had an incredibly vast spectrum of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual experiences while in the pod. Although I rarely fall asleep during a session, how deeply I am able to relax depends on how much I allow myself to relax. When I look back at the full range of the experiences I’ve had, there are a few, very specific floats that still stick out in my memory. They have that extra sprinkle of magic that we use in the phrase, the […]

Calming the Monkey Mind: Mantra, Visualization and Floating

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

How many of you have been in the middle of a float and found it nearly impossible to turn off the whirlwind of thoughts in your head? It’s a very common experience and I know I’m not the only one who has found myself lying there wondering, “Why can’t I turn this monkey mind off?” A racing mind can be frustrating and extremely distracting from the essence of why we come to float in the first place: to practice slowing down and relaxing into the moment. The mind is a […]

Float to Freedom: Why Consistency Matters

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

By now I’m guessing we probably don’t need to convince you that floating has some serious benefits to your overall health and well being. It’s been known to help reduce pain and inflammation, decrease stress and anxiety, along with a laundry list of other things like promoting inner peace, deepening your meditation practice and helping you achieve more rest and relaxation. Maybe you book a float every once in a while as a little treat in your self-care routine and maybe you’ve started notice some of those health benefits, but […]

Tips and Tricks to Float During Pregnancy

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

As a woman, one of the biggest life changing events that can happen to you is getting pregnant. It affects your physical, mental and emotional state unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

Here at True REST, we hope to help alleviate as much of these symptoms as possible, so […]

Float Therapy for Fibromyalgia, “A Miracle”

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that affects the muscles, joints, and soft tissue. It’s very painful and affects just about every aspect of daily living. Our clients with fibromyalgia state that they’ve often tried just about every therapy and alternative solution they’ve come across before finding floating. Some are reluctant to think that simply floating for one hour would have any impact on their symptoms at all; however, we’ve seen life-changing instances of pain relief and healing. To put it lightly, we’ve seen miracles happen in front of our eyes. […]

One Breath: A Short Story on Floating and Anxiety

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

When I was 18, I had my first panic attack. I had experienced anxiety before but never anything that came close to a panic attack, let alone one that would completely take over my physical body. I’ll never forget the day when it happened—how my joints locked up, how I completely lost my vision and how I could feel my chest tightening so much that my heartbeat was pulsating up into my temples. This was something I never thought I’d ever have to experience in my life, but I did—and […]

How Often Should I Float?

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

What do we want? Better health! When do we want it? NOW! I don’t know about you but I’ve committed to my health this year in more ways than I ever have before. I’m getting up regularly with the sun, keeping my body hydrated, making healthy food choices, staying consistent with my movement practice and frequently floating.

It’s a Float Date

By: Alexandra Sirocky | Tags:

Our yearly calendars are jam packed with a whole variety of excuses to come together and celebrate but only one holiday is laser focused on that four little word called love. Valentine’s day has become a standard hallmark holiday with the very basic (and gladly accepted) gifts like flowers, chocolates and a prix fixe dinner date for two at that fancy restaurant you’ve both been eyeing. Why not try something different this year instead of doing the same old routine? Ditch the gifts that are “things” and instead, gift the […]
