• Float Therapy - There are other ways of attaining altered states without drugs. My experiences include meditation and floating. Both allow relaxation and stress relief. In the past year I have had several float sessions. Each was different. Three were incredibly helpful in my recovery from whiplash after a car accident. The headaches stopped and pain decreased in my neck, shoulders and back.
  I began floating to experience a deeper state of meditation and that does work for me. If you are interested and in the Kansas City area, Floating KC runs various specials and offers a discount for a first time session. Mention this blog. There is a current Christmas offer. 12/17.
  What is floating? Floating KC Suggest trying a minimum of two or more sessions. The first session is an adjustment to the new conditions. It is easier to relax after that initial introduction. And the zero gravity massage chair, prior to the float, is fantastic.
