Where to Float

Michael Hutchison wrote a definitive book about all the studies done concerning floating. The book was called "The Book of Floating". He addressed sleep studies, brain wave states where floaters were compared to Tibetan Lamas. It seems that for every year a Zen Monk or Tibetan Lama meditates, their brain can produce one minute of "Theta"  (the mystical Brain Wave that normal people only produce for a split second when falling asleep and then again when waking .... it's considered a euphoric brain state) Brain wave while meditating.

With this premise a Monk who has been meditating for 20 years can produce up to twenty minutes of Theta brain wave while in Meditation. Michael says however, that these are the only people in the world who are able to produce theta like this   EXCEPT !!! Floaters, ha ha. Yes Michael's book says that floating studies revealed that floaters with no meditation experience easily produced twenty minutes of THETA durring a one hour floating session.

There are many other stories, studies, anecdotes and revealing facts regarding FAQ and paranoia about drowning, sanitation, constructing a tank, and claustrophobia, etc. Please check out this 30 year old book to find out more about float tanks. Cheers.
