Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?
ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 5 days agoThanks for sharing! That’s cool. I wonder why specifically in the tank?
Maybe I should reword it that similar experiences in meditation can be had naturally, whenever and for as long as one wishes.
That said, I haven’t experienced either. Float tank was fun though.

I think probably because there’s no sensory input and I’m just there floating in the darkness with only my breathing and heartbeat. It’s not like the whole time I’m in the tank I’m tripping, but I have had some psychedelic adjacent experiences. Not so much the visual and auditory hallucinations, but rather the psychedelic thoughts. Pondering the nature of my existence, fleeting moments of feeling cosmic and eternal, that sorta thing.
I wouldn’t recommend psychedelics to everyone but I’m glad I’ve dabbled. Those in a stable mental state would probably have a worthwhile experience eating some shrooms and sitting down in the woods.
