To finish up on my attraction to floatation. In college I wrote a paper on Hypnosis. I did a lot of research on a guy named Edgar Cayce. His stories were fascinating to me at the time. He would go into a self-induced sleep and then talk about a persons past lives, health, business dealings, etc, etc. He was a pyschic of sorts. I wanted that ability, as ridiculous as it sounds now. So since then I have read all kinds of self help, meditation and philosophy. I have an English degree with a Philosophy minor. Most of my philosophy classes were about religion. I learned then that all religious people believe that they believe in the correct one. Understanding this lead me to think about how there is some truth to all of them. Most importantly that there is a God or Universal Mind that is all of us.
So in conclusion, I have researched many forms of meditation and positive thinking and the combination of the two. Back in the mid 90's my friend floated and explained how wonderful it was. At the time I was a poor college kid so I only did it a couple of times. It always struck me as an awesome tool. After I got a job and started making money I searched for places to float. There are no place to float in my area so I decided to get my own. So here I am now. An unwavering faith and belief in the Universe is what I am looking to attain through my floatation sessions. I catch glimpses of the feeling of absolute calm and peace. Much more now than I ever have before. Is it wrong to pursue perfection? "You are what you think about all day long." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Interesting because the Edgar Cayce association for research and enlightenment (A.R.E) is right down the road from us in Virginia Beach and they come down to float regularly. They used to have a float tank some 20-30 years ago but no longer. You might like to visit them when your here to float, they have a very nice visitors center and always have something unique going on.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know where I can buy such great ammounts of epson salt? I would like to built my own Float Tank ! All that is missing is the Epson salt i guess.. Is it cheap? If not are there any other substitutes?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand, I need 460kg of epson salt and 500 kg of water... That is a lot!.. What about after you are finished?! How many times can u re-use it? or CANT YOU? Does any filtering take place? Is the water heating constant or it gets cooler and cooler as time passes by and you are in ! Please respond :) Thank you
