any of you ever try floating? it is like an isolation chamber with about 6" of salt saturated water at right about body temp. i did it 5 or so years ago and promised myself i would do it again but have not. i am wondering if any one here has tried it with a buzz on. it was a thoroughly relaxing experience by itself. kind of a mind trip without any help from chemicals or herb. i am thinking i need to try it but i freaked out at first when i did it. i was paranoid that i would no be able to get out(claustrophobia much?) but settled down and had the most relaxing introspective journey i had ever had.

That is so interesting old fogey, the delivery dispensary service here that is going out of business is going into that business. I think my older brother has one and is thrilled with it. I want to try it..where can you try them out? Do i have to go visit my brother? I could do that.. be careful of, mrs fogey may lock you in if you don't quit growing the herb.

Hello Rose, old fogey. I like floating. Floating down the river!! I have some tea making. 1/8 cup bat guano high in p, and 1/2 cup worm castings per 3 gallons water. Hopefully will be OK. I'd rather it be too weak than too string.

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning YD, That will be some great tea, and I believe that guano and castings can't burn.. Good for you..

That's a sensory depravation chamber !--Locked in ?-- Nope ! - I'm good !--- Nice warm water bed is good enough for me !-- I've with Dog about floating down the river on an inner tube ! -- With an ice chest stuffed into an extra inner tube !-

 

[mrcane]

Had a salt rub down once to help get rid of toxins....the lady stopped cause my body was freaking out.....
....same thing happens if I go to a good acupuncturist....
No chambers for me please.....

A sensory depravation chamber may not be this best idea for people with P.T.S.D.!-- Free your mind ? -- This mind is not to be trusted unsupervised !---There's memories of things and stuff that need to be controlled !--- What U think Cane doing with that Tai -Chi ? -- Learning control of the mind thru the body ?-- I don't think he is trying to free his mind !--- I'm thinking maybe he just trying to teach his mind to shut up !- Try it sometimes !-- No inner dialog! --Just blankness !-- U can't do it very long !--- That is when a mantra helps !-- A series of words or sounds repeated over and over to quite the mind ! --Teach them some mantras Cane !---

O.F. -- Dis one time I was on my inner over at the beach and I had made it out past the breakers with my cigs a lighter and a joint in my hat !-- Oh! it was nice !-- Floating around on the warm gentle waves --Smoking a Jay !-- Life just didn't get any better !-- I heard a boat off in the distance and turned my tube around with mild curiosity to take a look !---- Big boat was way out there but I could still read what it said on the side !-- Right there in front of God and everybody on the side of the boat were some of the 3 most chilling words I ever read !--It said -- BIG SHARK RESEARCH !-- Can U surf on an inner tube ? --I can !-- Lost my hat ! - My cigs!-- My lighter !-- Don't care !

lol keef. i would **** a brick.

rose - i am not sure where to float near you. it might be cool if you could check out your former delivery service's chamber or your brothers too. it is really, really relaxing once you let go. i was in an ultra mellow state of mind for a couple of days and i am usually an uptight person pretending to be laid back(which is the worse kind of uptight to be)...

i could see it being bad for ptsd, keef. the mind is a scary place sometimes and the sensory deprevation thing got me deeeeeeeeep into my head. that is why i am a bit hesitant to try it buzzed or baked. my mind goes tripping pretty good without feeling like i am floating without any visual stimulation and only the sound of the blood rushing thru you head...

 

[oldfogey8]

just had a pileated woodpecker hopping around the fogey-stead here. pretty cool bird...

 

[oldfogey8]

rose - just type in where can i float in a search engine. looks like there are 5 different locations in wash state. not sure if one would be close...

Keef you are exactly right my friend...This is why I do Tai Chi....I have tried many natural methods, some a little bit to heavy........
I have found a great master and group to practice with. After two years I am really starting to feel it inward....

I actually knew John Lilly. He invented the sensory depravation tank. Back in the 70's, there was a commercial venture to bring floating to the public. Aqua phoria was the name of it. It was pretty trippy, especially when they started using underwater sounds like whales songs.
