Podcasts about flotation therapy

Plant Medicine ceremonies... Vision Quests... sensory deprivation float tanks... sound pretty far out?? For Andrew Ginn - Freelance Producer, Author and co-owner of Float Seattle - these are very real practices that inform a holistic lifestyle centered in healing.    The life of a Freelance concert and events Producer is a physically rigorous one. The life of a business owner can be mentally stressful in many various ways. Andrew has developed a holistic approach to living that not only helps him deal with and recover from these challenges, but also empowers him as a guide for countless others on their own pathways to healing.    In this episode of Artist Mental Health Stories, Andrew shares how working with plant medicines can help us go internal and heal trauma, daily life practices that introduce more balance, and how Floating can help with things like stress and anxiety, physical recovery, sleep, body perception, and mental acuity. His practice of free-journaling daily without ever reading a word has been a source of self discovery, leading him to author his first book, Solution Seekers - sort of a how-to for building a skill set by leaning into your curiosities.    Co-presented by 4Culture, Coping 101's Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are many healthy ways to find balance.

If you’ve never experienced floating before, or have no idea what that is, or you are a regular to a float spa, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. I recently went down to Baltimore for the weekend and experienced the Red Lotus Float Spa for myself, meeting Marie Bittinger, the co-owner. We had chatted after my float and I later invited her to share her story here in this interview. Marie started manifesting Red Lotus Float Spa in January of 2018 and has been running the operations with the help of her husband and three part-time employees since opening in November of 2019. Her mission is to create a safe atmosphere that nurtures mindful reflection, curiosity, playfulness, and healing.Floating is a form of sensory deprivation. And, while that may sound scary on the surface, the reduction of our external senses, allows the mind and body to focus on itself, creating what some describe to be a “euphoric” experience or sensory enhancement. Flotation Therapy provides an array of benefits depending on your wellness goals. Whether you are looking to detox, recover or meditate, floating can be an important component in balancing your health. Links to articles and videos about benefits of floating: CBS This Morning - How sensory deprivation and floating impacts the brainBBC News - Clinical Floatation In this interview we discuss: What floating is, how it works, and the benefits it brings How Marie took this idea from conception to reality The importance of knowing your “Why” for businessWhen to launch a new business and what’s involved before “opening” Opening a business right before COVID-19Business and personal mindset for being an entrepreneur Learn More about Marie on her website.

71 percent of the planet’s covered by ocean. It holds the most life, the most diversity, and it’s the source of life. Join us this week as we talk to Dr. Wallace “J” Nichols and explore Blue Mind.  In this episode, he shares the cognitive, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual benefits of how being near, in, or on water can change your brain state and be a powerful wellness tool.   * * *   About Dr. Wallace “J” Nichols Wallace “J.” Nichols, called “Keeper of the Sea” by GQ Magazine and “a visionary” by Outside Magazine, featured in Time, PBS, and many other media outlets He is an entrepreneurial scientist, movement maker, voracious idea explorer, New York Times best-selling author, international speaker, loving Dad, and strategic advisor and collaborator. He created the phenomenon Blue Mind, a powerful new universal story of water and a movement of global proportions.   Blue Mind Health Documentary Blue Mind Health is the amazing free documentary series created to share how you can get energized, create more joy in your life and revitalize your health with Blue Mind. You can watch it here at http://organixx18.mybluemind.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=215&tid=podcast-20190522   What is Blue Mind? Mildly-meditative, kind of relaxed state we move into when we’re near, in, on, or under water, or when we’re thinking about those things. There’s science backing up how water shifts our mental state, our emotional state, how it calms us and centers us, how it connects us to each other in the best possible ways, and even boosts creativity.   Maintaining the Blue Mind State Prioritize your water time. Prioritize your down time. Understand what your body needs to restore May be sleep May be a long soaking bath May be a mindful shower May be a float spa - a sensory deprivation tank May be a weekend retreat to the lake, ocean, river, or mountains   What is Red Mind? Our normal base state in modern society; you’re wired, you’re dialed in, you’re over-connected, you’re striving towards goals. While necessary if it’s all you have you will burn out. It affects our sleep, it affects our performance, it affects our relationships, it affects our physical wellbeing, and our emotional wellbeing.   What is Grey Mind? When you’ve hit burn out stage by living only in Red Mind constantly. It’s just the burnt out, indifferent, numbed-out, disconnected, don’t care much about anything anymore state, mildly depressed, or even severely depressed. And we’ve all been there, too, where you’re just spent. And that may last an afternoon, it may last days, weeks, months, and even years. It’s the chronic social and psychological stress that just eats you up, that never goes away.   Relieving the Grey Mind State Exercise Diet Supplements Social interactions Experiencing the beauty of nature, being out, being in awe and wonder, out on the water, out on the mountain, and moving your body outside.   J’s 3 Big Takeaways Emotional health is the basis of sustainability. Have a health value equation - when we UNDERvalue anything or anyone bad things happen. Idea of common knowledge - something moves from private knowledge, or shared knowledge, into the realm of common knowledge, that we all know.   Ocean Health Impacts Human Health 71 percent of the planet’s covered by ocean. It holds the most life, the most diversity, and it’s the source of life. Various aspects of the problems, whether it’s overfishing, or plastic pollution, warming oceans Ecologically, it’s obviously very important. An educational perspective, whether it’s metaphors, ocean metaphors, or just learning about the ocean science, there’s just educational component. The oceans are a big source of emotional health in humans. That stress that water removes, that affects every single cell in our body, every single thing we do, our creativity, our relationships, our wellness, everything, how we interact with everybody, and how we interact with everything is affected by that stress reduction     Deeper Dive Resources   Blue Mind - The Documentary http://organixx18.mybluemind.hop.clickbank.net/?pid=215&tid=podcast-20190522   HASHTAG: Find More on Social Media #BlueMind   Dr. Wallace “J” Nichols Website https://www.patreon.com/wallacejnichols   BOOK: Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do https://amzn.to/2LrlU0e   BOOK: Blue Mind: How Water Makes You Happier, More Connected and Better at What You Do https://amzn.to/2PQWBTJ   Quality of Life with Flotation Therapy for a Person Diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, Atypical Autism, PTSD, Anxiety and Depression https://file.scirp.org/pdf/OJMP_2013070515551414.pdf   Benefits of nature: what we are learning about why people respond to nature. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17435348   See The Wild (Travel Options) https://seethewild.org/   Evaluation of the Effect of Preoperative Natural Water Fountain Melody on Teenagers’ Behavior- Preliminary Study http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.sociology.20120204.04.html   Climatotherapy at the Dead Sea: an effective treatment modality for atopic dermatitis with significant positive impact on quality of life. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22653123   The impact of blue space on human health and well-being - Salutogenetic health effects of inland surface waters: a review. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21665536     More green space is linked to less stress in deprived communities: Evidence from salivary cortisol patterns https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169204611003665   Natural Scene Statistics Account for the Representation of Scene Categories in Human Visual Cortex https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627313005503   Efficacy of Warm Showers on Labor Pain and Birth Experiences During the First Labor Stage https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1552-6909.2012.01424.x   Favorite green, waterside and urban environments, restorative experiences and perceived health in Finland. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20176589
