Wichita Wellness Holiday
Reset and Refresh to Make the Season Bright Sometimes we need a holiday from the holidays. One of the newest trends in travel is the luxury wellness retreat – ideally several days or a week spent in an exotic locale devoted to mental and physical healing, wholeness and clarity. But if you can’t escape to Thailand or Costa Rica just this moment, look no further than your own backyard where a multitude of transporting escapes await. Tell everyone you’re going shopping, then go float in a tank instead, belly up to an oxygen bar or indulge in a Wine Goddess Spa Package. Turn to Dec. 26 on the calendar and book yourself some cryotherapy or an infrared sauna. A quick break to reset and refresh might be just what you need to make it through the most wonderful time of the year.
TankHouse Float & Massage The sleek, minimalist float pod at TankHouse is the perfect antidote to the busyness of the season. Float in zero-gravitation weightlessness and enter an altered state as theta waves bathe your brain pathways. “Recent studies have shown that one hour in a float tank can equal four hours of real-world meditation,” TankHouse says on their website at tankhousefloat. com. Even first-time floaters can enter the theta brain state – usually reserved for practiced meditators – after only 15 or 20 minutes. Physical benefits include heightened sensory awareness, injury recovery, a decrease in adrenal fatigue and an increase in muscle relaxation.
