With
tubular float or two inflatable rubber rings under your knees, and
a travel pillow under the back of your neck, immerse yourself in
the water of heated pool (at 34° C or 93.2° F). Remain floating
like this. Relax, breathe, meditate, listen to yourself, daydream,
sleep. It's great. After 45 minutes, you fall into a deep state
of relaxation, almost equal to the one reached with the 5 person
massage. If you want, someone can gently drag you through the water,
in a zigzag pattern, in order to loosen up your spinal cord. They
can pull you by the ankles or by the armpits. Or else they can embrace
you and, with their hands around your back, follow the spontaneous
movement of your breathing. Wonderful. The ultimate, however, is
a 5 person massage while you float with your cushions. Stratospheric.
YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT ANYTHING.
Technically, the great power of warm water lies in the relaxation
that it induces and in the stimulation of all the receptors of the
skin (so that the rational brain, flooded with stimuli, tends to
switch itself off). This method was invented by Gunter Freude in
order to cure himself of an arthritis which forced him into a wheel
chair for many months of the year when he was just over twenty years
old.
