A definitive series of talks by two acknowledged masters of consciousness exploration on uses of the flotation tank.
"I slip into the tank and close the door -- shutting off the last I'll know of light and noise. I can't see or hear a thing. It's a bit disconcerting, not knowing if my eyes are open or shut, but as for the unearthly lack of sound, I find I miss life's constant background noises about as much as one might miss a toothache.
Sensory deprivation?
They should call this sensory relief!
Immediately, I feel myself awash in a tropical, silken sea. I'm floating in only ten inches of heated water and I'm able to lie I please without submerging. Centering myself easily, I'm unaware of any walls. The freedom of near weightlessness is what feels best of all, though -- a playfully pleasurable sensation. Now I know why astronauts on TV news reports are always smiling." - Cosmopolitan MsSVig
