漂浮水療 Float Therapy

無重力舒壓
Weightless Stress Relief

上世紀50年代,美國心理學家、醫學博士 John C. Lilly 發明了一種用於「感官剝奪」的設備

這種設備的特點之一是無透光抗噪音,藉此消除視覺和聽覺等等的影響;讓參與者達到更深層次的自我內心對話

1973年,John C. Lilly 教授和他的團隊,與美國NASA合作,引入太空漂浮微重力理念,並聯合美國科學院,大幅改進了原有的設計

通過大量的臨床實驗,他發現這個過程,在緩解人們身心和情感上的壓力有著非常大的作用

在這個瞬息萬變的世界中,我們總是不斷地奔波,追逐著時間的腳步;然而,在漂浮水療的溫柔懷抱中,我們得以放下繁忙,與自己深刻連結。

身體在水中漂浮,彷彿漂流在夢幻的境界,水滴輕輕滑過肌膚,每一滴都像是依偎的吻,溫暖而安心;在那寧靜的環境中,我們的思緒逐漸平靜,如同湖面微風拂過,漾起漣漪,逐漸擴散後,又逐漸回歸內心。

這不僅僅是身體的療癒,更是心靈的洗禮,我們的心靈,總是被各種情緒所困擾,像是風浪不斷的海洋;然而在這片漂浮的領域,我們如同船隻安然停靠,能夠看見情緒的起伏,卻不再受其左右。

靈魂在浮力中展開翅膀,飛翔在無垠的宇宙。我們在這片無重力的領域中,尋找到自由,尋找到內心的聲音。

或許,這正是我們長久以來渴望的,與自己真摯對話的時刻。

當我們漂浮過後,彷彿蛻變了一般,我們的身體得到了放鬆,我們的心靈得到了療癒,我們的靈魂得到了解放。

漂浮水療,不僅僅是一種感官的享受,更是一場關於愛與自我探索的旅程。讓我們在這場靜謐的旅程中,重新找回自己,重新與身心靈合而為一。

In the 1950s, American psychologist and medical doctor John C. Lilly invented a device for “sensory deprivation.”

One of the features of this device is its lack of light and noise, aiming to eliminate the influences of sight and sound. This enables participants to engage in deeper self-dialogue.

In 1973, Professor John C. Lilly and his team collaborated with NASA and the United States National Academy of Sciences to introduce the concept of microgravity floating in space, significantly improving the original design.

Through extensive clinical experiments, he found that this process plays a significant role in alleviating stress on both physical and emotional levels.

In a world constantly changing, we are always chasing after time’s footsteps, constantly on the move. However, within the gentle embrace of Float Therapy, we can let go of our busy lives and deeply connect with ourselves.

As our bodies float in water, it’s as if we’re drifting in a dreamlike realm. Water droplets gently caress our skin, each drop feeling like a tender kiss, warm and comforting. In that tranquil environment, our thoughts gradually calm, like a gentle breeze over a lake’s surface, creating ripples that expand and then return to our inner core.

This is not just physical healing; it’s a baptism for the soul. Our souls are often troubled by various emotions, like an ocean with continuous waves. Yet in this realm of floating, we anchor like a ship, able to observe the ups and downs of emotions without being controlled by them.

Our spirits spread their wings in buoyancy, soaring through the boundless universe. In this weightless realm, we find freedom and our inner voice.

Perhaps this is what we’ve longed for — a moment of sincere dialogue with ourselves.

After floating, we emerge transformed. Our bodies find relaxation, our minds find healing, and our souls find liberation.

Float Therapy isn’t just sensory indulgence; it’s a journey of love and self-exploration. In this tranquil journey, let us rediscover ourselves, reuniting our body, mind, and spirit as one.

漂浮水療 Q&A . Float Therapy FAQs 

A1 :漂浮的前身為NASA用於訓練太空人在地球的無重力裝置,當時科學家也意外發現,漂浮對於身心健康有明顯的幫助;後來隨著時代的演進,才逐漸娛樂化,就成為我們現在所熟知的漂浮(Float Therapy);所以漂浮水療,是透過大量紮實的科學研究後一種有效的放鬆方式。

A2:可以呀,因為漂浮水療的原理,是使用了好幾百公斤的食品級鎂鹽,達到漂浮的效果,水深也僅高約30公分,不諳水性也OK,因為環境很安全。

A3:因為鎂鹽的好處很多,鎂(Magnesium)是人體不可或缺的礦物質之一,但人體無法製造鎂,必需由外界攝取,鎂有助於骨骼與牙齒的正常發育、維持糖類的正常代謝、心臟和肌肉還有神經的正常功能、幫助身體正常代謝。最重要的是,因為鎂是神經傳導的大功臣,可以幫助我們放鬆好入眠。

A4: 因為漂浮所模擬的環境,是類似於在媽媽子宮內的羊水中,身體和外界融合得如此完美和安全,沒有溫差帶來的不適;也因此,光的花園 漂浮水療,水溫是透過自動恆溫系統在調節,符合我們人體舒適的溫度。

A5:不會,因為溶液的鹽分濃度很高,皮膚和溶液的鹽份濃度接近於相同,鎂鹽作為調節劑並抑制水在皮膚中飽和,因此水不會進入皮膚的細胞而起皺紋。

A6:剛好相反,因為鎂鹽基本上並非海鹽(它是硫酸鎂而不是氯化鈉),對皮膚沒有干燥的效果,但卻能軟化角質層,從而滋潤肌膚;所以漂浮完就算沒有擦乳液,皮膚也還是很滑嫩。

A7:看情況,因為市面上有各種不同的漂浮設備,有些在空間上無法起身站立,一張眼就看到設備的天花板離自己非常近,寬度和長度也只有單人床的尺寸,有些人確實會因為空間不足而產生心理壓力感到壓迫。

光的花園的漂浮空間,加寬到雙人床的尺寸,身體被浮力輕輕的支撐而自然放鬆;成年人在裡面起身站直也碰不到天花板,漂浮起來很寬敞舒適。

A8:除了上述提到「鎂鹽」對身體的實際好處,漂浮也可以用來提升專注力和靈感來源,因為是近無重力狀態,潛意識的活躍度會增強,我們可以更有覺察,讓情緒回復平靜;腦波也會進入接近睡眠狀態,1小時的漂浮相當於4-8小時睡眠帶來的休息效果,真的非常有效率;若您有運動的習慣,漂浮更可以舒緩因運動所帶來的肌肉酸痛等症狀。

A9:建議是每7-14天漂浮一次,來維持較佳狀態(因為人體就像是手機電池,如果常常耗電到很低的時候才充電,起伏落差很大,長期下來真的有害身心健康)。

A10:比那個更高等級唷;因為每一次的使用,都會再經過兩道高規格的過濾系統(過濾掉細微至1/4 頭髮直徑大小的物質),再加上臭氧殺菌和紫外線消毒,並且定期抽檢水質,確保水質無菌及清潔。

A1: Floating originated from NASA’s use of zero-gravity devices to train astronauts, and scientists unexpectedly discovered its significant benefits for mental and physical health. Over time, it evolved into the entertainment-focused practice we know today as Float Therapy. It is an effective relaxation method backed by solid scientific research.

A2: Absolutely. The principle of Float Therapy here in the Garden of Light Wellness involves using hundreds of kilograms of food-grade Epsom salt, creating the floating effect. The water depth is only about 30 centimeters, so even if you’re not a swimmer, it’s okay since the environment is safe.

A3: Epsom salt has many benefits. Magnesium, one of its components, is an essential mineral for our bodies. It supports normal bone and teeth development, maintains regular carbohydrate metabolism, heart and muscle function, and assists with nerve function and metabolism. Most importantly, it aids relaxation and sleep by playing a vital role in nerve transmission.

A4: Floating recreates an environment similar to being in the amniotic fluid in a mother’s womb—your body and the surroundings seamlessly merge. There’s no discomfort from temperature differences. Garden of Light Wellness’ Float Therapy maintains the water temperature through an automatic temperature system to ensure a comfortable experience.

A5: No, it won’t. The high concentration of salt in the solution prevents the skin from wrinkling as it keeps the salt concentration on your skin similar to that in the solution. Magnesium sulfate acts as a regulator and prevents water saturation in the skin cells, so wrinkles won’t form.

A6: Quite the opposite! Epsom salt, which isn’t sea salt (it’s magnesium sulfate, not sodium chloride), doesn’t have a drying effect on the skin. It actually softens the outer layer of skin, leaving it moisturized. Even if you don’t apply lotion afterward, your skin will still feel smooth and tender.

A7: It depends. There are various types of float devices available around the world, and some have limited space where you can’t stand upright. If the ceiling seems too close or the width and length are comparable to a single bed’s size, some people might feel pressured due to the confined space.

Garden of Light Wellness’ Float Therapy offers a much larger space, equivalent to a double bed’s dimensions. Your body is gently supported by buoyancy, ensuring a comfortable and spacious experience.

A8: Besides the tangible benefits of “Epsom salt” mentioned earlier, floating can enhance focus and be a source of inspiration. The near-zero-gravity state boosts subconscious activity, increasing awareness, restoring calm emotions, and your brain waves shift closer to a sleep state. An hour of floating is like receiving 4-8 hours of restful sleep—extremely efficient. If you exercise regularly, floating can also alleviate symptoms like muscle soreness.
 

A9: It’s recommended to float every 7-14 days to maintain optimal condition (similar to how our bodies are like batteries—you don’t want to run them too low before recharging, as it can harm both your mental and physical health in the long run).

A10: It’s actually at a higher level. Every use goes through two high-quality filtration systems, filtering particles as small as 1/4 of a hair’s diameter. Ozone disinfection and ultraviolet light sterilization are employed, and regular water quality checks ensure a clean and sterile water environment.
