A Closer Look at the Floating Wellness Spa Experience
What You Can Expect During the Session
The experience begins at 6111 S All America Way in Tempe, where you’ll meet your guide and prepare to float on paddleboard mats in a serene indoor pool. The 60-minute session is a guided meditation, with your sound healer surrounding you with live sounds from gongs, singing bowls, and flutes. The mixed tones and vibrations are designed to promote a state of deep relaxation—think of it as a gentle journey into your own mind, accompanied by soothing water movements.
The natural flow of water in the pool adds a subtle, mesmerizing motion that enhances the sound therapy, making it easier for many to let go of tension. Whether you close your eyes or gaze softly at the ceiling, the environment encourages a meditative state where your mind can drift freely.
The Soundscape and Instruments
The live sounds are a highlight here. Gongs produce deep, resonant vibrations that vibrate through your body, while crystal singing bowls offer high, shimmering tones that evoke a sense of clarity. Flutes add a breathy, calming element, creating a layered soundscape that shifts and evolves throughout the session. You’ll probably find yourself focusing on the sounds rather than your thoughts, which is exactly the point of this kind of therapy.
The Water and Floating Aspect
Floating on paddleboard mats means you’re weightless, yet comfortable. This position reduces physical strain and helps your muscles relax more easily. Plus, the water’s natural movements induce a gentle sway, making it easier to surrender to the experience. You might find that the water’s coolness grounds your floating, offering a tactile contrast that keeps you present.
