watch out, those things can seriously destroy your mind. expect hallucienations after leaving the floation tank, flashing lights, flashbacks, voices in your head, and loss of sense of reality. |

I just start using one recently; basically these are tanks with water that is heated to body tempature.. and filled with 800lbs of epson salt so that you're body floats right on top. |

Hi TalkingHead, do you have one of these at home? Sounds very interesting, keep us posted with your results. |

Joe Rogan (fear factor) has some interesting videos on his floatation tank. They are often used to enhance psychadelic experiences. Rogan specifically mentions DMT, a compound that may be released naturally by the brain during dreams. There are allegedly European spas that have commercial floatation tanks. Oh, boy do I want. :yumdumdoodledum: |

I eventually hope to get one at home.. but right now I belong to a little known "float club" in Oakland that allows us to use the tank whenever we want schedule permitting. My car just broke down but I should get back there by Tues or Wed. |

Yikes. Sounds dangerous. |

Ever since watching Homer's experience in one of these things on The Simpsons, I've made myself a promise to stay away from them. |

That sounds suspiciously like some sort of torture device. |

From what I understand, the water has 800 pounds of salt so you can float with no effort. Then the water is heated to something like 93.5 degrees which is the temperature of the surface of your skin so your body can't tell the difference between what's above and below water. While you're floating, your ears are under water so you can't hear anything and the tank is pitch black so you can't see anything either. |

not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
