I was wondering if anyone had been in a float tank, apparently it is another way to mindfulness, only it is done with sensory deprivation instead.

The person goes into a tank of water which has Epsom salts in it and they float, there is a choice of floating in the dark or leaving the lights on inside the tank.

This is said to stop overactivity on one side of the brain and balance both sides out allowing deep relaxation and the ability to reach parts of the brain that allow for creativity, imagination, self-visualisation and problem solving.

Sensory deprivation helps to let the mind work itself out - only as long as you have it in short periods. It's relaxing, and generally good for improving your meditative skills.

Long periods in sensory deprivation can cause brain damage.

The value of an individual is not numerically assignable. Given the individual's infinite capacity to affect change (for better or for worse), it follows that their value is just as infinite. Logically then, not only are all individuals of equal value, but all possible combinations and groupings of individuals are of equal value, and finally, no matter an individual's past actions, their capacity to affect positive change is not diminished.

The value of the individual is sacrosanct, but actions must be directed in an effort to affect positive change.
