Our minds are constantly on and thinking, it can be difficult to switch off anywhere even in a pod. It’s completely natural for this to occur during your first float. It will take time for your mind to ‘switch off’ and relax that’s why we say floating is cumulative, the more you float the more relaxed and the easier it will be. The best thing you can do is just focus on your breathing to help you relax, take slow deep breaths and notice your belly rise and fall and soon you’ll be able to drift away. And though each float is different and we recommend that you embrace whatever experience you have, just observe your thoughts with detached interest.
