How Stepping Into A Sensory Deprivation Tank Made Me Look At All My Thoughts
I had the chance to finally go to a Sensory Deprivation Tank while I was in Oregon. My experience is nothing like I have heard about in documentaries or from Joe Rogan lol. I have heard you have to do it multiple times to get the full effects. Just going to share my process through it, but to get your own experience I definitely suggest checking it out.
I thought I was going to be hallucinating, maybe seeing images, not feeling my body or in a sense my body evaporating. I thought maybe it would be like a mild dose of a shrooms trip. Nope not me one bit.
My session was 90 minutes in complete darkness lying in a tank full of water and 900 pounds of Epson salt, so I was floating the entire time. I get in and I'm basically meditating for the first 30 minutes. My mind was very restless. I couldn't get my thoughts quiet, which didn't feel normal to me. I had on going thoughts of the same exact thing on repeat over and over again. My head started to hurt, I felt like I was receiving a headache.
40 minutes in to my session and I wanted to get out. I felt a tension in my neck and a muscle build up where it seemed all my thoughts had been going throughout my life. I started visualizing healing energy going into my neck and I was visually wiping clean the back of my neck with my eyes in a way where all the pain was. I gradually started feeling the pain be lifted off of me.
My thoughts had still been on going on one thought on a constant loop. A feeling of Love. A love that I hadn't been giving myself. This little girl inside myself was sharing with me that I need to get back in touch with my heart and to give myself this love. I started hearing my heartbeat for the first time in the tub. My mind went blank. just Boom Boom for the next 15 mins. It was a sense of being alive, how out of touch I had been with that aliveness inside my chest.
Once I started bringing my awareness to the aliveness that I was, is when the thoughts came swarming back in my head. I felt like a hammer or a screwdriver was being rammed inside my skull and pressure was being applied. My mind is very active is the message I was receiving. I got out of the tub and took a 30 second shower so I could cleanse off those thoughts and then I got back in for the remaining 20 minutes and sorta fell asleep listening to my heart beat.
After my session is when my loopy/high effects hit. I was eating and all of sudden this gush of laughter and energy came through me for about 5-10 minutes. Uncontrollable. Couldn't really stop it. It felt amazing. I felt like a fuzzy energy ball and my abs started to hurt because of how much I was laughing.
It wasn't my cup of tea, but I definitely hear some incredible experiences about it, so I still would recommend it if you have not had your journey with the tank. :)
