Sensory Deprivation Tank Simulation, Isolation Tank, Float Tank

Sensory deprivation tanks, also known as isolation tanks or float tanks, are lightproof and soundproof tanks filled with water that's saturated with magnesium sulfate. Sensory deprivation tanks are designed to cut off nearly all external stimuli, leading to deep relaxation and a unique sensory experience. Without regular sensory input, the brain sometimes creates its own, which can lead to hallucinations. These can be visual, auditory, or tactile.

I've created this sensory deprivation tank simulation in order to try to replicate this experience for people who don't have the access to one nearby, or are unable to cover the expenses to use it. Buying your own can be costly (typically between $2000 and $30000), and each session costs $30 to $150 on average. I wanted to try to give people a glimpse of what it could be like, but mimicking something like this is very difficult to do accurately. I also wanted to experiment, and try new video production techniques to improve my skills.

Without the usual external stimuli, the mind begins to drift, similar to the moments right before sleep. One of the most immediate and noticeable effects is profound relaxation. It can help decrease cortisol levels, the body's primary stress hormone. Some people report improved clarity of thought or breakthroughs in personal or professional challenges. In the absence of external distractions, one can have profound insights, reflections, and even moments of epiphany. For people interested in meditation and mindfulness, this can be a game-changer.

To get the most out of this video, you should attempt to reduce stimulation to your other senses and reduce the likelihood of distractions as much as possible.

Sight: Turn off the lights, or wear an eye mask.

Touch: Get comfortable! Whether that's sitting in a comfortable position or ideally lying down.

Hearing: Turn off anything nearby that emits a sound. Headphones are recommended, but not required.

Smell: Ensure there are no smells that could distract you or light your favorite incense or candle.

Breathing: Deep breath in, hold it, and release. Steady, controlled breathing until you find your rhythm.

Taste: Hydrate yourself with water. This will reduce any stimulation to your tastebuds through dilution.

These suggestions are optional but recommended. However, if you can do all of these things, it will improve your experience. Enjoy! 🙏
