Float Conference 2013

This last weekend I attended, in the evenings, the annual Float Conference put on by FloatOn, a float center located on Hawthorne in SE Portland (click between the brackets) [floathq.com].   I have been interning with them for the last month or so, learning how to deep clean the tanks, along with filter swapping and other shop maintenance in the hopes to eventually open up a meditation center that has a primary focus on float.

I had to work during the day at my place of employment during the days over the weekend.  That being said, the little amount of time that I was able to attend at the conference was in fact amazing.  I was able to hear a few  lectures that blew my mind, as well as some personal testimonies about individual healing that were equally inspiring. 

The men and women of FloatOn did an amazing job putting together a conference that I hope to attend IN FULL next year!!  Thank you to Ashkahn, Graham, Quinn, Jake, Janine, Tom, Leah, Chris and the few others I have yet to meet along the way that help put this all together.

I was able to meet a few people, locally, nationally, and internationally, along with some little discussion with a couple different medical professors that have invited me to follow up with them on my own experience.  Really cool.   I was also able to touch basis with a couple representatives from Color Glasses regarding my other blog (click between the brackets) [cltexperiment.blogspot.com].

I met some float shop owners from Vancouver, BC and a biofeedback/alternative healing center owner from Florida.  I listened to lectures on anxiety, as it relates to float healing (something I can relate to, both the chaos of and the healing from), biofeedback, theta waves (which was awesome!), float healing away from PTSD, and various lectures/testimonies into the void--where everything is discovered in nothing.

My last float was last Friday and my hope is to accumulate as many floats as possible through this internship and take them all within a short amount of time: 12 floats in a weeks time perhaps?  We'll see.   I am intrigued with the idea to remain in the theta state as much as possible.

 

New Blog...

For those that stumble upon this entry, I'd like to invite you to two different places:

I'll be spending a bit of time dedicate to the new blog, cltexperiment (Color Lense Therapy Experiment), which will be a journaled account of about 12 weeks where I will spend one week at a time wearing a different colored pair of lenses.  There are 10 pairs in total: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua, Blue, Violet, Indigo, Magenta, and Baker-Miller Pink.  Each color has a detailed theory of benefits and I am going to put these lenses to the test and "blog" the journey as I go.  Take care and be well.  May you day be charged with positive attitudes and inspiring people.
