| - Have you seen the movie "Minority Report"? I felt like one of the precogs that were floating in the water, except I didn't get the previsualized visions that the psychics in the movie received. Instead, I had a rejuvenating and relaxing experience. I first heard of floatation tanks from one of my co-workers after I had mentioned that I practice meditation. I was intrigued and was more than ready for inner-space travel, so I booked myself a floatation. On my first time, it took a while for me to get adapted to floating on the salt water. I had a hard time concentrating, and even got an itch on my face. They tell you not to move, but I ended up scratching myself and got salt water in my eye. Not good! However, there's a water spray bottle inside the tank just in case this happens. I've heard that the first time is the most difficult and that the benefits get better with each session. So I decided to book myself another one.
My second session in the tank, it took almost no time to get still both physically and mentally. Once I started slipping deeper and deeper into a peaceful relaxation, I became unaware of time, and I experienced an almost spiritual and mental detox. Being inside this sensory deprivation tank was a nice break from social media and everyday distractions. Being inside it forced me to confront the highs and lows of what happened to me in the past few years and channel positive energy toward what's to come. I felt euphoric, and meditative by being perfectly still.
I'm going for my third float next week, and I intend to experience more positive results. I've heard that the benefits get better with each session.
