I had my session in an isolation tank this morning. It was nice.
I'll note first that I much prefer an isolation *tank* to an isolation *room*. The first time I floated, it was in a high-tech room. It was nice, but there's something to be said about the tank providing a cocoon around you.
I arrived there a little prior to my appointment. The lady gave me the lowdown. The tank was in a private room that I could lock. You don't need to bring anything with you.
1. I showered.
2. Then I remembered that I should have put the earplugs they provided prior to showering. After you're wet, it is a bit of a challenge to get them out of the package. Everything slips. I still managed to put them in.
3. I got into the tank and closed the door behind me.
4. I settled into the water.
5. One hour later (or so), a chime rang.
6. I got out of the tank. Took out my earplugs.
7. I showered again. You need to make sure to get all the nooks and crannies, otherwise you're going to find salt where you did not rinse properly. I notice now that my ears are salty. :surprised_pikachu:
They played "meditative" music for the first half of my session, and the 2nd half was silent.
The water is saturated with Epsom salt so that you are naturally buoyant.
I did not turn into a primate or a protoplasm. (*cough* Altered States *cough*). It was a nice experience. I'll probably go back to the same location at some point.
Depending on your specific #autistic traits, you may also enjoy this, just like I did.

An isolation tank mishap.
(Ngl, Altered States was one of my favorite movies as a kid.)
