Floatation File: The Isolation tank
t-bo - 9/16/2006 Q: What happens when you enter into an environment where you can lie down in an 800 pounds epsom salt solution; The water is set at skin temperature (35 degrees Celsius), and you float, for how ever long you need, in complete silence and darkness? A: At first, you feel that the gravitational pressure of your body is reduced to a minimum. You are floating without any use of effort, techniques, or beliefs. Your skin temperature begins to habituate to the water and you sense your body melting. You lose the sense of where your body begins and where the water starts. In complete darkness and silence, with your body dissolving, you begin the process of letting go... In this space, you can doze off, sleep, mediate, or problem solve without any distractions. The rest of the experience is left to your imagination and creativity. The floatation files are my personal documentation of the history and benefits of floating. From personal experiences to the scientific research that demonstrate the benefits of floating. The isolation tank is a revolutionary tool into self-knowledge. It is the meditative cave of the old hermit made into a restful and safe environment. Interested? Intrigued? From the experienced to the novice, there is a lot more to come. |
