Floation tanks
Today I had my first taste at flotation. For those who don't know, basically you go into a tank of water, which is heated to body temp and is full of salts, and you float in the dark (or light) for an hour or so. Its really relaxing, though as David said 'sensory deprivation is a form of torture!'
The place I went to was not that nice, it was pretty run down (the inside of the tank needed cleaning and the paint was peeling off), so I had problems relaxing. It was interesting though, the feeling of weightlessness is interesting, not knowing if your eyes are closed or open (its that dark), not knowing if your dead or alive..
But it was interesting. I had two visions, in the second one I was floating down the canals in Venice, it was really nice. The first one I was holding a hollowed out tree and inside it was a 2 ft slater, which changed into a witchetty grub (2ft one) and then a beetle with long legs.. I remember holding the witchetty grub and wondering 'My mind must be really messed up'..
All in all would go again, but might not go there!
