The Samadhi Floatation Tank is chest high and a little larger than a twin sized bed. It contains 10″ of water to which hundreds of pounds of Epsom salts have been added. When you get in and lie on your back, you are pushed to the surface so that you float like a cork, weightless as an astronaut in space. There is a lightweight door that you may leave open.   However, if you wish to get rid of the distractions of noise and light you may simply close the door.

Author Michael Hutchinson in “The Book of Floating” speaks well here: “A new tool has been developed that, like the computer, has the potential not only of bringing about enormous increase in our capabilities as individuals but also of fundamentally changing our way of life as a society.

The buoyancy [inside the tank] counteracts the effects of gravity, giving the floater a sensation of weightlessness. The chamber is pitch-black, silent. In the absence of sensory input, the floater feels detached, free, at peace.  Most floaters report enhanced mental powers. Virtually everyone finds the experience immensely pleasant. And, as one prominent scientist says, the tank provides a method of attaining the deepest rest that we have ever experienced.”
