Floating

So I did something new and different today. I went floating! I was a  bit skeptic and hesitant about it but I've been wanting to try it for a while. When a livingsocial deal came up for a floating session I jumped on it and today I redeemed my voucher. I went into the room and inside there is a big coffin shaped tank with a big door that you supposed to close behind you. Inside are very salty water that makes you float. It is also the same temp as your body I took a shower and went into the tank. I was a bit afraid to close the big door but I did and laid down in complete darkness. It's kinda like getting rid of your physical being and all you have left is your mind. It takes some time to "let yourself go" I had to sit up a few times and crank the door open and run outside to wash my eyes from the salt water. It burns so bad if it gets in your eyes! After some time I decided to go in and totally sink into the experience. I laid down again in complete darkness and isolation and I literally stopped feeling my body. I couldn't feel anything, I felt like I am adrift at sea in complete darkness. It felt like I am in space. I completely lost track of time and my physical being. At this point when I got completely relaxed the music started and I knew my time was up. It went so quickly! The quickest 90 minutes of my life!
It felt SO good to be isolated from everything and away from all the problems and daily hassles. I've been told that the experience gets better the more you do it. I am feeling so relaxed, the tension in my body is completely gone and I am very relaxed and sleepy. I think I'll go again soon. I felt like an embryo inside the womb. It was so hard to get out. When I got back to awareness my body felt so heavy. When I got out The sun was so bright and the outside world was weird! It was such a nice distraction from everything!
