A gentleman floated today for the first time. When he came out, there was a calmness that had washed over him. He couldn’t believe how great he felt. He could finally breathe. He was able to process things and release them.

Here is his testimony.

“I have been trying to describe how it felt in the tank. It felt like all the demons and stress were literally being sucked out of me by the salt water. I was so very skeptical going in after reading all the things about floating and what it can do. I felt lighter after I floated and I felt like I could breathe. I felt happiness for the first time in a long time.

I think that’s why I cried so much. Just letting go of all the stress in the water. It took me a while to be able to stand up and get out of the tank.”

He said if he was a millionaire, he would go to the police department and pay for all of them to go in once a month.

As some of you know, we’ve always given discounts to military, healthcare workers, first responders and police officers. For 4 years, we’ve allowed veterans to float for free on the last Wednesday of every month.

This month, we’d like to extend the offer to our boys in blue. Topeka Police Department

‼️ CALL TO ACTION ‼️
We need YOUR help!
Veteran's Day is right around the corner. As most of you know, this is a huge day for us as we give over 30 services away to local veterans and active service men/women. We do this on top of our monthly giveaways to our military AND we give back to our community every chance we get with donations for schools, sports, and various other local events and non-profits.
The pandemic has been a heavy burden for us, like many others, and we will need a lot of support this year to keep this tradition going. We are hoping to raise $10,000 for our non-profit, Floating Forward, which is dedicated to giving these services away for free to those in need.
We know that seems like a lot but with such a supportive community that we have, we know it is possible!

Take the time for your mental health. You will never regret it.

In our technology-driven world, we are accustomed to being “on” and available 24/7 that we actually need to raise awareness about self-care.

Your heart suddenly races, and you can’t breathe.

You feel dizzy and lightheaded.

And maybe bodily sensations like stomach pains, hot flashes, sweating, shaking, and tingling sensations take over your body.

It can feel like you’re losing control and will go over the edge.

Although it may be hard to believe when the panic sweeps over you, the reality is you are completely safe.

This is why it’s important to know what’s happening in your body when you panic so it doesn’t bluff you.

Then you can take heart everything is OK.

No matter what happens, you have complete control of your body and actions.

All that’s happening is stress hormones, like adrenaline, are causing you to experience some frightening symptoms.

As doctor Harry Barry explains: “The job of your stress system is to keep you safe and alive not to kill you. The symptoms of anxiety are uncomfortable, but they are not dangerous. You have my word as a doctor, this adrenaline rush will not kill you.”

There are simple medical explanations for every single one of your fears.
Heart palpitations…
The shakes…
A churning stomach…
Lightheadedness…

They’re all caused too much adrenaline in your body which causes your body to overreact.

All your symptoms are harmless.
If you’re still not convinced, talk to your doctor.
They’ll give you the reassurance you need to know everything is OK.

Did you know that our programs include a journal with writing prompts? Anyone can write but so many don’t because they feel it has to be perfect. The most important part of journaling is just getting your thoughts out freely.

Would you try it?
