sensory depravation tanks

here is what i posted on the coachella board .... dont know if you are interested or care ... cr****

ok maybe this should go under general thoughts or whatever that thread is ... dani will make it all good lol ... so have you ever done sensory depravation tanks ... it's pretty cool ... lets see if there is any interest and ill post what i did ... cr****

so, I don't know, maybe it was trying to be cool like Altered States or maybe I am just weird lol ... my ex (great gal, I have such good taste in women lol.. check out tygerlady, a true lady) anyway so my ex bought me a 10 pack, sort of like the tanning packs to go and float ... it was downtown Denver ... I walked into the place .... she says, "do you just want to float , or do you want to learn things?" strange question if you think about it ... so they offered where you could watch a video, and learn things ... if all of our senses were muted, the ones that were heightened, should be just that, heightened ... so you could watch golf, skiing, things like that ...repetitive things, if you learned the basic technique, should be easier., ... made sense to me cr****


having lived on the north shore (Hawaii) I was a pretty good surfer ... I thought I could take that skill and use it for snow boarding and I would be ok ... not .. they are so different ... so I thought, ok I will watch a snow board video ( remember this is like 1980 a quote from a review of the movie .."imaginings of internal hallucination become external" that's pretty heavy stuff, but maybe it is just using information, .. cr****

its hard to describe what it feels like, because, it feels like nothing .... the temperature of the water, is body temperture, so you don't feel any temperature, .... the water has like 300 pounds of salt in it so you don't float IN the water, you float ON the water .. your head will go down in the water, over your ears, which is good because it filters out more sound .. you cant hear anything ... unless you want .. you can do the videos, you can have music, but I figure , if you are doing depravation, well do that ... so it goes, it was fun and interesting ... looking at it through thru the window pane of life, it was "somewhat different" but that is another story .. cr****

one thing that bugged me when I did a float, I am a major clock watcher ... someone can ask me what time it is, and without looking, I am usually within 15 min ... so the first couple of times, I just lay there, and the 60 minutes seemed like 10 minutes, no kidding ... what I devised though, if you lay in the tank, and touch your feet to the end of the tank, there is a space of about 12 inches from the top of your head, to the top of the tank... well when you get in, all you have to do is just gently touch your feet to the end, and it took about 15 minutes to float to the head of the tank ... then when your head touches, you start to float to the other end, and it always took about 15 minutes .... that is how slow life moves in a tank ... now if you are on wp or purple barrels, well that is part of the rest of the story .. cr**** I never did turn into a monster or pure energy darn .....
