      Floatation Tank

      I thought I would post my 2 cents about something, last year I ventured to a spa and had an hours session in a floatation tank and although it sounds morbid because you are essentially in a cocoon type thing for an hour, it's meant to have a lot of benefits in sleeping, they use a type of salt in the water so that you just float on the water and the water is the same temperature as your body so you just feel like your floating! Also from this all your muscles are all relaxed and there is no tension.

      I live in London and the float place I went to is here http://floatworks.com/

      Below is a quote from the site about what benefits it has, give it a go because it's a very unique experience and I enjoyed it and i'm quite fussy


      (QUOTED)
      The Effects of Floating
      Following is a short list of some of the effects, which have been reported by researchers and/or users:

      Promotes total calm & peaceful relaxation; eliminates fatigue and jet lag; improves sleep; alleviates stress (mental and physical); energises, rejuvenates and revitalises.

      Stimulates left/right brain synchronisation; shifts brain waves from Beta to lower frequency Alpha, Theta and even Delta; creates mental clarity, alertness; increases creativity, problem solving; heightens visualisation; deepens meditation; expands awareness, intensifies acuteness of all the senses, accelerates learning.

      Enhances hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis; increases motivation, diminishes depression, anxiety and fear; facilitates freedom from habits, phobias and addictions.

      Improves athletic performance and helps prevent sports injuries, speeds healing process.

      Decreases the production of Cortisol, ACTH, Lactic Acid and Adrenaline; increases production of endorphins; quickens rehabilitation and recovery; relieves pain - arthritis, migraines, injuries etc.; boosts immune function.
      Improves circulation and distribution of oxygen and nutrients; reduces blood pressure, pulse, heart rate and oxygen consumption.

      I've always wondered what it would be like to be in one of those tank things.

      Also, I'm almost positive you can see that lady's nipple on the About Floating page.

      Haha, lucky! I've always wanted to be in one of those. But I've got this slight fear that if I fall asleep and then roll over or something, I'll drown. D=

      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      Yea that would be neat. It reminds me of the Dead Sea I learned about in school where you can just float around on your body.

      I'd like to try one of these sometime. It seems like a handy way to WILD.

      Agreed. I'm curious as to how quickly one could WILD inside the tank.

      Is it sad that the only reason I clicked on the link was because of this?
      EDIT: i believe you are right. I zoomed in, and there is a lump that is behind her arm and which had a brown circle on it. Definitely a breast, me thinks.
      The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim
