RECOMMENDATION // FLOTATION THERAPY

EXCERPT // Floating Naked in the Dark
It was intensely relaxing, and since the only thing I could hear was my own breath, it was way easier to concentrate on it than when I try to meditate in my living room. I may even have fallen asleep at one point, as the time passed quickly for me.
Foley’s take? “It’s difficult to know what to make of this after just one go, which is sometimes the case with practices or tools designed to help a person calm their mind or experience a shift in consciousness. On the one hand, it didn’t feel like anything more than what it was: floating in a vat of water in darkness and silence. On the other hand, floating in a vat of water in darkness and silence does seem to be a special sort of thing.”
