Sensory Deprivation Floatation Tank

Has anyone experienced this type of thing? I’m tempted to give it a go to see if I can elicit some interesting hallucinations. Any advice?

Don't watch altered states before going in lol.. On a serious note I tried it once, VERY relaxing. I would say I got a bit of sleep paralysis (or close too it).
I have insomnia sometimes, so id say im not the typical sensory deprivation client.

During my PhD research I worked out what was specifically responsible for sleep paralysis!

Yes, I've been multiple times (maybe 10 or more?), everyone has different experiences really. It is incredibly relaxing and have had many deep meditative and insightful experiences (no hallucinations but flashing colourful light points everywhere in some). Some sessions have been not as relaxing and the mind really churned through all its stuff haha, but it's well worth giving it a go. I'm not sure if it completely nullifies all the main senses as there's still a little bit of body feel as you float, but it's close to it.

Sounds an interesting experience that I should try. I’ll book a slot for 12th November and report back.

I’m excited for my floatation/sensory deprivation tomorrow! A light breakfast, no caffeine and a 90minute drive to Glastonbury. Afterwards I might take a walk up the Tor to Saint Michael’s chapel (he supposedly protects one in battle, so it’s apt for a martial arts person).
