Awareness

Why do we lose ourselves in our thoughts, unaware the present moment?

Being aware is continuous practice through meditation and reminding to bring ourselves back to the present moment. 

First be aware of your lingering thought by breathing deep in and out slowly and adjust your eyes by looking out far focusing on an object.  Look around your surroundings and recognize your place within. 

 

 

Isolation tank deprivation

The first tank was designed in 1954 by John C. Lilly, an American physician and neuroscientist. He designed the tank to study the origins of consciousness by cutting off all external stimuli.

His research took a controversial turn in the 1960s. That’s when he began experimenting with sensory deprivation while under the effects of LSD, a hallucinogenic, and ketamine, a fast-acting anesthetic that is known for its ability to sedate and create a trance-like state.

In the 1970s, commercial float tanks were created and began being studied for possible health benefits.

 

Cryotherapy Chamber

Between -100°C (-148F) and -160°C (-256F) for 3 minutes
 
When your brain sensors sense the extreme cold, it causes blood to flow to the torso to insulate and protect all the vital body organs. Once you step out of the chamber, a lot of oxygenated blood starts to rush to the body organs which help with the healing process.
