Stasis Float Notes - June 2024
"If there is time to reflect, slowing down is likely to be a good idea."
~ Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Laureate
Last Call for Our Promotion!
Greetings Float Fam,
Glenn here from Stasis Float Center, just dropping in on the newsletter to give a big “thank you” to all of our new and current members for enjoying their floats and salt sessions during our promotion. Seeing new faces discover how impactful floatation therapy is, as part of a regular wellness routine, has been a wonderful experience…and our existing members have enjoyed a ton of bonus floats and salts, which is fantastic! We are incredibly excited to host floatation therapy in Syracuse and to provide relief from the stresses of our crazy world.
As we enter the final month of our relaunch celebration, I encourage anyone who has been considering joining to take advantage of our current promotions. All new members receive a free bonus float upon sign-up, and all members can earn additional bonus floats for every three member floats used during the promotional period. Plus, members enjoy complimentary salt sessions when you're in for your member-float!
I'm excited to announce that, as a special bonus, all active members will be able to retain the complimentary salt sessions on the day of their member floats even after the promotion ends, as a bit of a founder's perk! It's our way of saying thank you for being with us during this special occasion.
Warmest regards and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Glenn Runyan
Owner, Stasis Float Center 🌊💙
Thinking: Fast & Slow
Despite what we think, we seldom look at evidence or use logic to make everyday decisions. Simply put, no one has the mental capacity to take in, analyze, and draw conclusions from all the information in our environment.
Intuition—“fast thinking”—allows us to move through the day by acting efficiently in familiar situations.
By contrast, “slow thinking”—using logic, weighing evidence, and thinking rationally—require time and effort, so we avoid these things as much as possible.
However, when we act in a rapid, automatic, and unconscious fashion we make decisions based on things like our habits, desires, and emotions in the moment. We rarely examine the biases that underpin our decisions.
This creates problems. We favor how things are when change might be better. We ignore evidence that contradicts our beliefs. We stereotype. We throw good money after bad….
These theories were examined by the Nobel-prize winning economist Daniel Kahneman. As Dr. Kahneman suggests, slower thinking helps us recognize and correct our errors. We can make better choices and come to better conclusions. Want to learn more? Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555

Hope Floats!
We’re proud of the health benefits that float-research has revealed, but we also think it’s important that the medical profession take the next step.
What would that look like? We envision a time when doctors and medical professionals can actually prescribe floating for anxiety and specific bodily pains!
To this end, your very own Stasis Float Center is participating in a fundraising drive for The Float Research Collective.

You totally deserve it.
Meet the Staff!
Melissa!
Have you met her yet? Our NEWEST staff floatationist is Melissa.
Melissa loves adventure, especially riding on her Harley! She enjoys boating and spending time at her camp on the water, and, like so many of us, tattoos are a way she expresses "her story."
Melissa enjoys homeopathic health including floating, the salt room, and yoga, and plans to someday become a yoga instructor. She looks forward to getting to know you all when you come in to float or relax in the salt room.
Welcome to the team, Melissa!
