Floatation tanks are devices

which allow us to experience an environment of almost zero external stimulation.

The tank (there are several varieties, Wellspring Floatation uses a Samahdi Classic) is a

plastic enclosure about 4 feet wide, by 4 feet high by 8 feet long which houses a pool of

water about 10 inches deep. The density of the water is increased by dissolving 800 lb. of

Epsom salt into it allowing anyone to float motionless on the surface.

The temperature of the water is controlled to equal that of our skin thus the floater will

quickly lose the awareness of where the body ends and the external environment begins.

With the door to the tank closed there is no light. The only sound is that of one’s own

heart beat, breath and digestive system. The mind is relieved from the duties of processing superfluous information. At this point the floating experience becomes impossible to describe.

Just as each person’s conscious reality is unique to him or herself, so is each experience with floatation. Some people use this time for lucid dreaming. Others use it to bring a profoundly deeper experience to a meditative practice. Musicians and athletes use floatation to enhance their performance. Whatever the experience is during the float, the truly amazing result from floating is the effect it has on our lives afterward.
