Anyone Tried A Floatation Tank

[Opara]

Hi, I've been reading about these lately after hearing a glowing review on the Joe Rogan podcast.They don't seem to be too well known in the UK, I'm struggling to find a place to test one out.

The benefits seem to be along the lines of meditation such as reducing stress, helping depression as well as offering introspection.I'd be interested to hear any experiences to hear if they're all they cracked up to be.

Thanks

I've seen them. Never tried one. Imagine it would be very relaxing. But if your mind is noisy, it will just give your mind a chance to really go kerazy. So it may work for you but it may not.

Tried one a few times years ago when I lived in Devon. Relaxing and weird at the same time.

I tried one a few years ago now - I loved it. Felt a bit weird at first but I gave into it and my god it was very relaxing. Went back a few times. When I came out I felt all floaty.....I know that sound s a bit girly for a 6ft plus guy ! but I felt good afterwards.

I would recommend it.

Thanks, I've heard of people gaining insight from being inside one, anything like that happen?

Yeah - I would go along with that one. First 15 min or so felt a bit weird but then I just went with it and relaxed. I found it helped me out during a stressful period.

If you want de-stressing try a foot massage. Works wonders.
