Sensory Deprivation
Anyone ever been in an isolation tank? I did my first float today and it was quite the experience. Eliminating your senses really lets your mind go to some interesting places. Deep consciousness is a truely enlightening experience. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I loved it. Hope to do another float sometime soon 

Re: Sensory Deprivation
Interesting
I spent a half hour or so I am told in a deep dark prison cell once. Devoid of light and only but the faintest sounds from outside were evident. I truly could not see my hand in front of my face. I was able to walk a few steps before bumping into wall
I really can't recall how long as it was a while ago but don't think it was any longer.
I really can't portray the feeling and even though I am yet to experience isolation/floatation tanks I think it is much the same surreal, out of body kind of event.
Question: Did you have any sound available? Some I hear play 'mood music' that must belittle the experience.

Not the same. Sensory deprivation tanks float you in salt water that is the same temperature as your body. No touch, no sight, no sound, no taste, no smell. Nothing.Whiskey 7 wrote:Interesting![]()

Re: Sensory Deprivation
I listen to Joe Rogan's podcast and he keeps bringing up his float tank that he had built in his house. Sounds like some trippy shit, but it's not for me. Weed works just fine.

Re: Sensory Deprivation
Exactly. I'm not sure what Whiskey is describing. Sounds like a repressed childhood memory...mrd wrote:

sounds a lot like dreaming tbh
Re: Sensory Deprivation
Well, Sere, it's a little difficult to explain and express the experience...
Re: Sensory Deprivation
But not impossible. A little more than something u would fine on a promotional printout would be preferable.
Re: Sensory Deprivation
Was it like the Simpsons' episode?

Hmmm, I guess you're right. Sorry about that, I've never been good at elaborating about shit. Terrible storyteller...Tsakali wrote:But not impossible. A little more than something u would fine on a promotional printout would be preferable.
Basically the place I went to had a spa-like atmosphere. They take you into your own private room with your float tank. There's a shower there in the room that they ask that everyone uses to remove any oils or chemicals you might have on you. You then hop in the tank and pull the lid closed, entering into pitch darkness. I eased in like an old man taking a hot bath. You don't want to slosh around too much cause you'll bounce around and hit the side of the tank. Once you get laid down, you immediately start floating effortlessly due to the tremendous amount of Epsom salt in the water. At first I wanted to try to hold my head up, but I quickly realized I just need to relax and let the salt water do its thing. It takes a while to get use to what's going on and I had a hard time not thinking about the tank I was in and what I was feeling, or the lack there of. Once the novelty of the deprivation ends, then your mind is free to start wandering. And mine went to some crazy places. Most of the thoughts are hard to explain, but I was really able to hone in on some real issues and my true thoughts on everything. Pure consciousness is a hell of a drug. Nothing like weed, Transient. Or any other drug I've ever done...

Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
Re: Sensory Deprivation
That's better :thumbup: sounds like something I'd like to give a go. Prolly would feel really weird, since I've adopted some horribly over sensory multitasking Habbits.

LSD is a lot like that too in the right circumstances. Very much like you describe.
Re: Sensory Deprivation
Kracus has taken drugs guys.

Re: Sensory Deprivation
So have I. Do I get a gold star? 

Re: Sensory Deprivation
The difference is that you have actually taken drugs. Kracus is just telling everyone that he has taken drugs.
