I'd like to use it more, but it's a little cost prohibitive for me at the moment. The biggest benefit for me is I'm able to say I'm going into a big tank of water for an hour so I won't be available for your call/text/yelling/whatever. I have problems feeling guilty about self-care, so I need that excuse to put myself first for a bit. I went into my first experience expecting some sort of hallucinatory, transcendental experience. I did some meditation, but it felt forced. So I relaxed. That went almost too well. When I jostled back to full awareness, that's when things got interesting. Normally when I back-float in water, I'm aware of its 2D surface. I need to stay on the surface. Above is impossible, below is bad. In the tank, I could relax because the salinity kept me afloat. I was able to think and move in three dimensions. The tank became this empty space of three dimensional "white" board, albeit pitch black and a little confined so I couldn't go too crazy. But I was able to think out loud without looking weird. I could thrash my arms around as I visualized things against a blank canvas. I had a really interesting conversation with myself about web design, branding content, and readability. The closest analog I can think of is movies like The Lawnmower Man where VR was this 3D empty, private space to manipulate with your mind.
