"I am into sports and have pushed myself beyond my limits so often that I have experienced injuries. Floating is an amazing rehab component to me as it helps me recover both physically and mentally. When I am in the tank, I can allow myself to experience all feelings that come to me without fear because I am embraced by warm water. Feeling all emotions is an important part of my healing process.
