Dr. John Lilly’s experiments in sensory isolation tanks started in 1954. Lilly created an environment which totally isolated an individual from external stimulation. From here, he studied the origin of consciousness and its relation to the brain.
We are incredibly excited to be bringing the first and only flotation tank to the Phoenix East Valley Area. Vibetality will begin offering 1 hour floatation sessions starting in early October to Chandler Gilbert and Mesa residents.
Dr. John Lilly states, "Once one's mind is freed from the physical environment by this technique, one has the whole range of the human mind available to one's imagination; one's thinking capacity is at a maximum One has available parts of the nervous system (cerebellum for example) that are normally not available for programming by self under ordinary circumstances. By means of the tank one is automatically given an expanded province of one's mind in one's brain."
Float tanks sometimes called isolation tanks have a wide array of uses, research has found that sensory reduction can result in incredibly beneficial states of relaxation, deep expanded healing, boosts in creativity, meditation, problem solving, learning, sports performance conditioning, and self-awareness.
In fact even NASA has used flotation tanks. Almost all the stimulation that ordinarily occupies our brain is suspended, including compensating for gravity. Dr. Lilly found that gravitational force on the body coupled with noise, light, and temperature variance, etc., utilized approximately 90% of the neural activity in the brain. Without these distractions you are free to unleash your brain's full potential.
So the real question is "What is it like to float?"
#1 The water is the same temperature as your skin, so you don't feel it.
#2 The flotation tank is large and not claustrophobic
#3 The flotation tank is 100% light proof, so you'll have no visual stimulation.
#4 The saline solution will make you totally buoyant in the roughly 12 inches of water in the tank, you'll be freed from the pull of gravity.
Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) research has found that profoundly deep relaxation and improved thinking are achieved when outside stimuli are reduced. If there ever was a place in which to relax, to set aside the cares of ordinary life and take pleasure in the extraordinary, this is it! Absolute quiet. Total (friendly) darkness. Soft. Warm. Serene. You float, buoyant and peacefully still, in a body-temperature silky liquid. This is privacy. This is you and the water. Period. Your mind is free to explore, to pursue its own thoughts without distraction, to create. You restore your body and mind in the peaceful environment of The Oasis Relaxation System. You emerge renewed, deeply relaxed and refreshed.
