Just did my second float tonight.
*big sigh of relief*
And as it turns out, Alex Gray has floated in these same tanks, and possibly will be stopping by within the next week or so.

You have no other option than to float. There's about a half ton salt it a tank only slightly bigger than a bath tub.

which makes you floaty.
Look for a video of people floating in the dead sea.

Envious....
I've always wanted to try one.

first words that comes to mind are complete relaxation.
This time when the gently piped in some classical orchestra tunes, my mind being very alert and clear took the cue of "ok, music started, time to hop out" But when it tried to communicate to my muscles, they were so relaxed it took a sec to make anything happen. and then it was as if I weighed twice as much as I do.
If you really had some mental sorting out to do, it would be a great atmosphere.
If you have an injury that is below the skin (obviously salt would hurt like a bitch if you had a cut) it would help ease pain, and maybe let bones/joints settle.
Everyone seems to walk out the door in a complete state of bliss.
This specific place has local tea/water for post float which is great, as well as fun little gadgets/toys to play with to kinda just hang out long enough to be able to drive home lol

I've always kind of hoped that I'd end up in some psychedelic study where they give me hallucinogenic drugs and put me in a tank like that...
That would be sweet!

apparently if you consume something that is sensory enhancing, if you get in a float tank which is sensory deprivation, it sobers you up within 20 minutes.

Imagine that.
I would have thought it would be an experience more along the lines of spiritual psychedelic journeys.

I do not know how exactly to put it into words...probably because you cannot.
But there is something about pure clarity without thought that seems more fruitful than a psychedelic journey.
IMO Lots of people get different experiences with psychedelics. But the main point (again just IMO) is to see exactly who you are with utmost clairty, and to see/feel/know without knowing that EVERYTHING is just as much a part of you as who you really are.

Excellent description of floating:
So, basically you're in an oversized bathtub, that has 10 1/2 inches of water in it. And the water is super-saturated with epsom salts (850 lbs), so you float right on the surface (it's more buoyant than the dead sea).
And all the water is kept at skin temperature, so you can't tell where your body ends and the water begins.
And the rooms are really soundproof, and when you turn off the light on the inside of the tank, there's no light, no sound, so sense of touch, and no gravity on your body. And you just float there.
And it's like a mini-vacation.
-your spine stretches out an inch and a half
-your muscles relax cause they're not fighting gravity
-your brain stops producing as much cortisol (which is our stress hormone, responsible for fight/flight response) and instead starts cranking out dopamine and endorphins. And you get a natural mood high that lasts for about 2 to 3 days afterwards.

So, is the floating done sober, or under the influence of your DOC?

I normally go in sober. Seems to work out the best.
