So one of the many benefits of floating is that you … float. 😎 The water is heavily salted which enables the body to not sink. It takes pressure off the body. (Trust me I know about aches and pains). And for me the reboot resets the monkeys chattering in my brain. Just for a minute. All external stimuli disappears. It might not happen during the first float. It might take the body more time to stop reacting against the absence of input. I think you would like it.

Thank you for sharing. The section on Noise/Sound fasting had me remembering that I need to get back into a float tank/sensory deprivation tank. The absence of sound and light is fantastic. I once read somewhere that it is like "rebooting your brain."

I haven't tried sensory deprivation. At my age I wonder if the cacophony of aches and pains collected over the years might make that a less than pleasurable experience. But I'm intrigued about the re-entry. A reboot into what? I've lived a life of Linux, not Windows.
