Somebody who really enjoys it gave me a trial package once and I did a few sessions. You're absolutely right, I mostly had the sensation of floating in water.
In the end I determined this isn't useful for me, but there's probably people who are less sensitive to this kind of sensation.
- pc86 5y agoYou can feel the water but only if you're moving or the temperature isn't controlled well enough between the air and water and you can feel the border.
- tazjin 5y agoThis is what I mean by different people having different sensitivity. I fully believe that this is true for you and many others, but it's not true for me.
- chucksta 5y agoSo you believe you have more acute sense of temperature and pressure? There is an element of meditation involved
- tazjin 5y agoI can definitely notice the water, yes. Even regardless of temperature and pressure, there is no way to make absolutely no movements (unless you're dead, and even then ...) which means the water will be in motion, which is very obviously noticeable on body hair. > There is an element of meditation involved Sure, but this is a different statement - it's more like saying "yes, the sensation is noticeable, but the point is to learn to ignore it" which is different from "there is no sensation".
- chucksta 5y agoMy point is everyone notices that to some degree, unless they're dead like you pointed out. Having an expectation on absolute 0 sensation is unrealistic. The purpose of a deprivation tank in this scenario is to reduce/deny as much sensory input as possible, leaving just mental stimulation, aka mediation.
