TWO OF A KIND
A MEDITATION ON FRIENDSHIP
By Tim Moloney

JOSEPH CYRUS and JUAN CARLOS MAZORRA are out to literally change your minds. The friends and business
partners, longtime practitioners of meditation, have taken it to the next level with their soon-to-open Healing
Waters Float Spa.
“It wasn’t that we decided to partner through mere rational or mental
means, this was destiny, and the recognition that our souls have a mission,
and by working together we may help people to cultivate mental stillness
and raise their overall quality of life,” says Cyrus, who was born in Tehran
and came to Houston with his family when he was five.
“I have been meditating daily for the last five years and I learned that
floatation is a phenomenal tool for meditation, expanding your
consciousness and healing the body, mind and soul on the deepest levels,”
he adds. “We traveled across Europe to research floatation and wanted to
create the most tranquil, luxurious and eco-friendly atmosphere for one to
gain the most blissful experience for our community.”

They think the floatation concept is perfect for high-energy Houston
