Sensory Deprivation Tanks - A View From The Void
In this presentation we will review the history of floating, from its invention by neuroscientist Dr. John C. Lilly in 1954 to the modern state of the floatation tank, the emergence of the thriving industry now growing around the practice, and the possible impacts it can have on individuals and society as a whole.
We will take a look at the science and benefits of this profoundly effective tool. Specifically we will examine its effect on human physiology, brain chemistry, and treatment of ailments like chronic pain, high blood pressure, stress related illnesses, PTSD, and depression.
We will also discuss floating and the exploration of altered states of consciousness, its impact on dreaming, OBE’s, creativity, spirituality and expansion of awareness. We will learn how floating, when adopted as a regular practice, can be an extremely valuable and positive antidote to our busy, over stimulated lifestyles.
It seems counter intuitive that something so simple can be so profound. Yet, thousands of people around the world turn to floatation every day for health, happiness, and consciousness evolution. Join us for an enlightening discussion and “A View From The Void”.
