Creativity and convergence

If humanity defines itself by anything, it is by our capacities to think critically and to adapt through our creative abilities. Although the critical thinking part gets a lot of attention, creativity is at the core of our being and is one of the main driving forces of productivity. Unfortunately, society values this productive output […]

“No” Time: It Could be the Missing Key to Your Success

By Kalyn Wolf At Cloud Nine Flotation, many businessmen are regular clients.

Improve Thyself: Betterment by Buoyancy

For a Better Time Together, Spend Time Alone

“What? Sorry, can you say that again – I was distracted.”             This is a phrase that’s all-too-commonly uttered these days.

Meditation

In many ways, our culture has fostered an unhealthy relationship with time spent alone. Even the words that we use to describe alone time are often steeped in some kind of negative connotation.

Fight, Flight or Float

You’ve probably heard of our fight or flight response – when we’re presented with stressful or threatening situations (like being chased by a hippopotamus), our body’s autonomic nervous system responds by preparing for action.
