There may not be many perks of working at the AoR, but in December I definitely received one! The Editors of Reflexions had been offered a free float at Floatworks - but as Viv and Polly live quite a distance from central London, they offered it to me! Especially useful as the centre is only a few minutes walk from where I live. Floatworks has nine floatation pods full of body temperature water with 700lbs of Epsom salts dissolved in the 170 gallons of water - which results in an incredibly buoyant 10 inches of water. This concentration has the effect of allowing your body to float seemingly without the force of gravity, thus allowing every muscle in the body to relax. It's an amazing hour of sensory deprivation as you float in the silence and dark - although you can keep the pod open or the light on if you wish, and it is extremely relaxing. The effects afterwards were a bit like post Reflexology, with a detox effect and achy muscles coupled with that mysterious feeling of complete calm. Definitely worth a try. Tracy Smith - R&D Officer
