Has anyone here ever done this or maybe, even own one? :)

Fill your bathtub and turn out the lights.

I knew. I would get one of these replies.

I was thinking of building one about a year ago... never really got around to it but cool idea.

You can find a place maybe, in your area to give it a try. :thumbsup

i've heard people talk about it that have done it and do it regularly... based on what i've heard, i would definately do it if i had the chance.

I am thinking about making it happen next week. Hopefully. :thumbsup

I've always wanted to give one a try... gonna have to look for a spa that has one - gotta be one around L.A.

What are they actually used for? It's supposed to be very relaxing? Floating in water in the dark, listening to your own breath, doesn't seem THAT fun for some reason....

Oh boy, there's one about 40 miles from me. I've always wanted to try it. Joe Rogan was raving about it.

Same, but I've never been good at meditation.

I may build one this summer just for fun ... if anyone wants to try i found these plans http://www.brainsturbator.com/pdf/DI...nTank_2006.pdf

I didn't want to disappoint you :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

In an old Hawaii Five-O show McGarrett was put in an isolation tank for a couple of episodes.

Wherever you wanna go's the idea. There are many uses.

I've heard that many peeps hallucinate. It's used a lot of times to to get one's mind to enter a state of waking sleep. It's supposed to make deep states of meditation a lot easier to achieve for whatever purpose you want to meditate.

Put succinctly... I guess it could be said that it's supposed to expand the ability to use your mind as a tool to whatever end you wish.

Either that, or everyone's just tripping. :)

One of the reasons I wanna go is to experience it first-hand, myself.

wasn't there some weird movie in the 80s about that?

Altered States :thumbsup

I want to float.

Same here.
