A flotation tank, also known as a sensory deprivation tank or isolation tank, is a dark, soundproof tank filled with warm, salty water. People float in the tank to experience sensory deprivation, which can help them relax and meditate.
The environment in the float tank completely isolates the senses and blocks out all distractions including gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound. This leaves you in a deeply relaxed and meditative dream-like state like the state you enter just before you go to sleep.
The water is heated to skin temperature
The water is saturated with Epsom salt, which increases the water's density and buoyancy
The tank is soundproof and dark
What is a flotation tank?
Floating is achieved by adding a high concentration of Epsom salts to the water. Much like in the Dead Sea this raises the density and buoyancy of the water
Epsom salts allow the float tank user to float but also do so much more. Ancient wisdom tells us that Epsom salts are an effective cure-all with benefits including stress relief along with easing aches and pains.
