Cloud 9 Float Spa

Description

Cloud 9 Float Spa is the first European style floatation center in the Vancouver area and it is our mission to provide a high quality floatation experiences designed to relax, rehabilitate, enhance performance, and expand the mind.
Cloud 9 offers a relaxing, holistic experience the second you walk through the front door. Guests can float in a room or a tank (personal preference) both luxurious private suites include changing area, towels, toiletries, access to a shower and everything else that you may need. The floatation rooms house a private float tub that is 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 8 feet high allowing deep and comfortable relaxation for even the largest athletes. The option of floating in a tank is given if that is preferred, which is 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 6 feet high allowing for a much different floating experience compared to the tub. Our float tub and tank are both filled with ten inches of water and saturated with 1000 pounds of Epsom salt. Epsom salt is a healing form of salt and has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions and to pull toxins from the body. The high density of Epsom salt causes one to float effortlessly and weightlessly in the water like in the Dead Sea, allowing you to reach a state of complete physical and mental relaxation quite quickly. The temperature of the water is at a constant 93.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the body’s normal skin temperature, creating a feeling of oneness with the water. Often, individuals will peacefully fall asleep while floating due to the decrease of external stimulus and stress on the body and mind. When the room is in operation mode, it’s devoid of all light; earplugs are to be used to remove all external sound even though they are already underwater. All of these conditions together free a person from all external stimuli including sense of touch, pressure, friction, skin sensation, sounds, and lights. The rooms are fully ventilated and the solution is sterilized after each use with concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide and a Ozonator filtration system. One hour floating is the equivalent to four hours of deep sleep. Although many individuals choose to float in complete darkness and silence, the option of lighting and relaxing music is also available and at complete control of the floater. Audiotapes can be used for specific hypnotic suggestion or accelerated learning; they are played under the water, which proves to be very effective personal growth tool. For first time floaters, it is common to have an overload of thoughts in the mind and tension in the body for the first few minutes of the float session. As you continue to relax and breathe deeply, realizing that no effort is needed to stay afloat, your mind will begin to quiet and your body will begin to release its tension. This is when the real benefits of floating take place. First time floaters remark feeling happier, healthier, more positive, confident, as well as an increase in sensory awareness for several days after floating. While a single float is beneficial, those that float more frequently and as an overall part of their wellness program find increasing health benefits that are sustained over time. It also becomes more common to have experiences of profound well being and consciousness expansion similar to those associated with the long term results of meditation. After your float you are encouraged to relax in our lounge, enjoy a cup of herbal tea or some spring water before you leave Cloud 9 and return back into the real world.
