FLOATZONE.CALM
Since the 1950s people have used sensory deprivation
tanks as a way to explore the unconscious mind. Buckminster Fuller did it, as did Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary. And,
now, thanks to FloatZone.Calm the average joe can try it, too.If the idea of sensory deprivation brings to mind images of
secret government tests and bizarre sex rituals, think again. The sensory deprivation tanks at FloatZone are small fiberglass
pods that are designed to eliminate all external sound, sight, smell, taste, touch, and gravity. Inside they are filled
with 15 inches of saltwater heated to the patron's body temperature. Since the salt content of the water is so high that
it is impossible to sink, customers spend their entire time inside the pod floating in a silent, pitch black environment.
Floating proponents claim that time spent inside the pod can help achieve such things as an increase in creativity, a strengthened
immune system, and deep meditative states. For anyone yearning for a mind altering experience, floating can't be beat -
and it's a heck of a lot safer than LSD.
