First Float Tank Experience – Random Musings

My friend Hadar wrote up his first experience in a floatation tank. I've never seriously considered doing this, but his writeup has me thinking I may want to give it a try.

As for what I was thinking about, with the exception of a few distractions, this was mostly a mindful meditation. I was completely aware of the entire experience, including the breathing and the heart beats, which is the point (as I understand it) of being present. So, I wasn't detached, but I wasn't thinking about the past or the future either, just experiencing the very relaxing present.

As a regular meditator I wonder if this experience may be a delightful meditation experience. However, I’m wary that I would not have as good of a reaction to the complete darkness.
