I did a sensory deprivation pod today (float therapy). It was weird. First time I ever did it. One of the things that happened was the vision of my and WW relationship from the very start to where we are now. The day we met, things in between, when we got married (crystal clear like I was right there) watching her walk down the aisle, our kids being born, our whole life. Vividly right in front of me. :(

I'm curious about what your expectations were before hand. Were you given info about what to expect? Did it put you into a dream like state?

Reject the rejector. Do not reject yourself.

I had no expectations going in. It was really cool except that part. It was super relaxing. I don't think I hit the dream like state. It was my first time doing anything like that including meditation so it may take some practice. I would do it again though.

I wanted to do that but was afraid that I'd be trapped in there and have to go pee.

Ntv,
No, it doesn’t lock. And most have lights you can turn on if you want/need and a call button to intercom with the staff. I’ve known people who left the pod open because they were claustrophobic. Not quite sensory deprivation at that point, but they seemed to like it and get something out of it.

would love to do that but i'm like NTV - even if i went 5 minutes before going in there i can guarantee i'd need to pee at some point my brain is like that...which then got me wondering how many people pee in it anyway.....and that's now put me off the whole thing...

Ntv,
No sensations (touch, sight, sound, even gravity), except for your fart. Your fart would be the only thing in your world.

And Dost,
I’m happy to hear that you tried it and enjoyed most of it. I float a couple of times a year and almost every time is a unique experience.
I got into Rinzai Zen and Vipassana meditation a couple of months after DDay, and it has really helped my find “peace of mind”, in a way that I never thought possible.
I’m mostly a lurker, but i’ve followed your posts and rooted for you since you landed here.
