A sensory deprivation tank is a unique way to alter your senses and affect your consciousness.
The concept has been around for the past few decades, but they are becoming more mainstream as more have tried the product and attested to the positive benefits.
Here’s how it works:
It is filled with salt water that is at body temperature, causing the user to “weightlessly float” in the tank. The tank is sound proof and light-less. Basically, all your senses are muted for you to be left only with your thoughts.
Usually, you lay in the tank for up to an hour and enjoy the experience.
Users report being in a dream-like state, peacefulness, calmness, as well as the ability to think and focus more deeply.
We don’t realize just how much of our personal experience occurs through our three most palpable senses: sight, sound, and touch.
When we’re in a state where those senses are muted, we can listen to our other senses. Smell and taste become heightened, but our sixth sense, our consciousness, becomes heightened as well.
If you haven’t tried one of these tanks before, you’re in for a unique experience.
