Floating while pregnant is beneficial for a number of reasons. The Epsom salt alone is good for you and your belly. Soaking in Epsom salts increases the amount of magnesium concentrations in your blood. This is a mineral needed for the aid in building and repairing tissues in your body. It also helps to regulate your blood sugar levels as well as helping to control cholesterol. Regulating the blood sugar could help with maintaining (or giving into) your cravings. The Epsom salt in a sensory deprivation tank also helps with detoxing and it has anti-inflammatory properties for all the mommies to be with swollen feet (and other body parts). Floating can release your muscle aches and pains by taking the weight off of your body. Your body becomes weightless when you float and the magnesium that is absorbed by your skin interfere with pain receptors in your brain and act as an anti-inflammatory pain reliever. Magnesium also helps to improve serotonin levels, which helps to control your emotion and mood. People with higher levels of serotonin in their system feel more relaxed and happier. Serotonin also plays a part in sleeping which is one of the reasons why floating can help to improve your sleep.
Floating is also where you can rest. Even when you're sleeping you're still dealing with light, sound, and gravity. In the tank there is none of that. It will put your brain in probably the deepest state of rest it has ever had. When you rest is when you heal, floating frees space up so your body can do the healing on its own, quicker and more efficient.
Floating is also a sacred space for you and baby. It's time alone you are giving yourself permission for. This is time alone you will not have for awhile once baby comes. Not only is it time alone but it's time alone with your baby in your belly. Time that you will cherish and look back on. It is a space where you can hear your baby's heart beat without an ultra sound. A place for you to get in touch with yourself and your baby. Sacred space. A sacred space where you are producing bonding chemicals for both you and the baby.
Book a float and let go for you and baby.
