Sometimes, no amount of yoga, chanting and gong bathing can still a whirring mind. Believe us, we’ve tried…
Many of us are put off by words like meditation and mindfulness. But you don’t have to be a member of some Indian mystery club to learn the art of being still.
Whether you do it floating in water or inside an inflatable chromotherapy pod, here’s 5 alternative ways to calm an overstimulated mind…
The Floatworks
What: Float inside a pod filled with Epsom salt water and drift into a deep, meditative state. Floatation therapy is shown to have a significant impact on mood enhancement by decreasing the production of cortisol, ACTH, lactic acid and adrenaline. It’s also great for athletes recovering from an injury.
Length of treatment: 60 minutes
Where: Floatworks, 17b St George Wharf, Vauxhall, SW8 2LE
Price: £50

NuCalm
What: It may feel like you’re going to the dentist… but instead of having your mouth prised open, you’re handed headphones playing classical music, a topical cream and micro-current stimulation patches to counteract beta brainwaves associated with adrenaline. Be lulled into a deep mediative state. It feels a little like taking a valium – but is completely drug free.
Length of treatment: 60 minutes
Where: The London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry, 93 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4RL
Price: £75.00

Experience a euphoric intensity lying down that many people would dance all night long to achieve. The aim is to get there by breath and beats alone.
Length of treatment: 3 hours (13:30 – 16:30)
Where: Indaba Yoga, 18 Hayes Place, Marylebone, London NW1 6UA (Room: Cirrus)
