The day prior, I’d done 90mins, awake and aware I was awake for most of it, I’d play with the buoyancy, try to do happy baby and flip over, I was busy thinking, let’s just say that. Thinking for 90mins, my body felt great but my mind didn’t get a rest. I’ve figured out a few things by now, almost like my before bed routine. On this day I got my things in order, closed the lid, and turned the light off. Very faintly I could hear the strum of music, I was aware of a rhythm. I tried to make out what was playing but drifted off into inner space, unaware that I had. Unaware of anything really, or everything, I’m still not sure. I was just, there, just present. Then, what felt a moment later, I was surprised how well I could hear the end of session music play from the pod in the room next to mine, before I realized, an hour had passed. I immediately sat up, as though I had a mission, rinsed off and got out of there. I moved too quickly, I didn’t give myself a chance to enjoy the experience, I got on with my day. I didn’t continue to just exist. I started doing, I started doing a lot, and I felt that effort chip away at the powerful, effortless being that I innately am. You live you learn, as they say, so I’m looking forward to today’s float. I know now that my after float rituals are just as important as my before float rituals. Wake up slowly, take my time, float, breathe, stretch. Meditation has become a higher priority for me, in three floats. The pod has helped me dive deeper into a meditative state and shown me what I could experience independently if I were to only give myself the opportunity. I’m learning a lot here, hope you are too!
