Although it is possible to experience the benefits of floating with just one float, as with any other form of therapy, consistent, repeated treatment is encouraged to maximize the benefits of flotation therapy. Relaxation is a learned art, and for some it takes a couple of sessions just to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, and learn how to “shut off” from the outside world. This is why we suggest that if you are a first-time floater, you float 3 times in fairly close succession, in order to determine if you will benefit from consistent routine of floating. Each individual has their own, unique experience, so results can vary from person to person.
