What went down.
I arrived there a few minutes before my appointment. The Float Seattle Greenlake location has a warm, quiet feel that you're greeted with as soon as you walk in. I was led to a small room that had the float tank, a bench, and a shower. I followed the instructions given to me closely. The most important being that you have to take a shower and place earplugs in before you float.
This is when I felt myself rushing. I knew I only had an hour and that sense of urgency that I seem to live with was making me rush through this process. Once I realized this, I took a deep breath and slowed myself down.
Before I got into the tank I double checked my earplugs and scratched my nose. You see - you can't let the salt water get into your ears or eyes, so this part is super important.
Then I got in the tank.
It was pitch black. And I didn't know what to do with myself. I started to reexamine my need to do this, did I really? Then I started to hum to myself, then I went from humming to thinking about work, and then about what I needed to do after floating. I quickly realized that my thoughts were just bouncing around distracting me from this experience. So I decided to focus on my breathing. This is where I started to really give myself over to the Float. I moved my arms around and when my mind started going back to overdrive, I refocused on my breathing. Then my time was up. It came up faster than I expected.

I didn't have any epiphanies, I didn't walk away a brand new woman, but I think I finally understood what it meant to be in the moment. Also, the urgency I walked in with was not with me when I walked out. I took that slow pace feeling home with me. I didn't look at my phone, I didn't pull out my computer, I didn't turn on the television. I did put on piano music and made my dinner. I loved it. I loved just being quiet, not worrying about tomorrow, but actually enjoying a Sunday night.
Will I do this again? Definitely. I want that peace, no rush, just be feeling back in my life.
I loved doing it on a Sunday night, but I'm thinking next time I will try a Monday night.
Thank you, Float Seattle for a great experience.
