Floatation
Theres a place in auckland, mt eden, that is opening up this month.

Has anyone experienced floatation, and did it evoke images, sounds or anything of the like?

Float culture opened up this weekend in auckland. Expensive, costs $120. But listening to joe rogan, I am super curious.

Please sound out, if your tried floatation. Or if you are going to float culture and giving it a go.

Maybe I should start a float Drael and his friend fund, and take collections. I want drug free ego loss!

Some time ago I read John C Lilly, a psychonaut like Shulgin, (but not so heavily into drugs) on sensory deprivation, via the flotation tank. Check out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...71.HldpYoPvN5Q

It uses a concentrated solution of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) which needs to be maintained by an accurate thermostat between an extremely narrow temperature range, around 96 degrees Fahrenheit, or the user feels as though they are freezing, or boiling. Pitch blackness, and as quiet and vibration free as possible.

Hallucinations occur after a while of floating without any physical sensations, quite possibly because the mind is creating input to replace that which is lacking from the environment, like dreaming while still awake and aware.

Apparently a proportion of users lose voluntary control of bladder and bowel functions temporarily, after some hours inside, so some commercial operators require special suits to be worn.

A friend tried to talk me into going halves in one, but the cost was prohibitive then, although if you could access bulk MgSO4 cheapish ...

Others have tried salt, (like floating in the Dead Sea) with varying degrees of success; any tiny cuts or sores sting, though.

One of my friends bought a tank about a year ago for something like $10,000 and it has been sitting in his car port the whole time because he has no where to set it up. We were thinking about starting up a business with it eventually

You inspired me, I just got back from floating. It was lovely. I had visions of what my float tank enclosure is going to look like.

A cob house dome carved with the flower of life on the outside and the inside.

Im wondering how the cob would fare with such a humid environment inside it.

Anyone have experience with cob house construction?
