Big opportunity for making your own floatation company.
Can't be too expensive to have a ceramics factory create new moulds. Maybe $20k in moulds, and after that you're selling at crazy margins.
I’ll try skipping my morning coffee and hope I don’t get a caffeine withdrawal headache.
Don't shave before hand. Your face will burn the entire time. Any cuts on the body, pain!
The experience was very relaxing and it put me in a great mood.
I was impressed that a float spa could bring in that many new customers in Eastern North Carolina.
Ok.. I bought a floating tank.. what next?
I think Joe Rogan vids and his podcasts where her rants and raves about them.
I died in one of my dreams once. I felt this exact same way. So accurate to the way I felt in the dream. I wonder if I nearly died in my sleep. It's the most peaceful feeling I've experienced by light years. My family and I was hit by a car and my body floated above the scene looking down at my crying family and being in a state of absolute bliss. No worry, no stress, no care, no sadness, no guilt, nothing. Just pure happiness beyond anything I've felt. I'm going to find the episode you're talking about now...He then describes her near death experience as being on the operating table but "floating" from her body and how everything in her life was relieved and gone, like no more worries and no more caring or loss (I'm paraphrasing).

Speaking of Joe Rogan and floating, has anyone seen his youtube/podcast where he talks with that comedian (his name escapes me) they start off about dogs and putting them down (euthanasia) ...very touching, sincerely.
Then and more importantly for this thread, the comic/person being interviewed talks about a heart attack or heart hospital visit while facing a high probability of death situation procedure and also reflects on talking to his mother who had an actual near death experience.
He then describes her near death experience as being on the operating table but "floating" from her body and how everything in her life was relieved and gone, like no more worries and no more caring or loss (I'm paraphrasing).
But the "floating" thing which I have never done (in near death or in a tank) rang an interesting cross over to death and reading what others describe here and wondering if death/floating has some similar references of relief from feeling, relief from thinking, relief from worrying, etc. and a total relief of life as we know it here on earth.
Going in a couple of hours for my third float (my previous two were several weeks ago - I don't have access to a float tank where I live) and it will be my longest float so far (the first one was 60 minutes and the second one 90, this one is two hours).
I'm really looking forward to it.
It made me realize how great of a business it can be: for the right person, once they try it once, they'll do it regularly. All you have to do is get enough people to try it, and then it should provide consistent income as long as you offer great service.
Granted, this won't work everywhere and it's probably a major pain in the a$$ to set it up (particularly the sanitation part), but as far as offline businesses go, I think it has a lot of potential (especially when you turn it into a franchise in a region that doesn't have many float centers yet).
The idea of EGO is not a new concept. Originally came from eastern religions such as Taoism and Buddhism.@ChrisV and I mentioned some of Ekhardt Tolle's work which is the idea that our REAL SELF is suffocated by what's called the EGO.
That's not the EGO in terms of "my car is better than yours" but the EGO in terms of our thought patterns; our thoughts about the past, the future, opinions, the whole mishmash of neurological farts that drown out our authentic spiritual self. The spiritual self is an OBSERVER to our thoughts, as if our brain was an entity on its own.
I believe these TOOLS...
DMT...
Shrooms...
Float Tanks...
Meditation...
Auyahasca...
Are all TOOLS to help you strip away the EGO, albeit temporarily, so you can see LIFE as a HUMAN without the EGO dominating control.
For anyone who has gotten value out of these "ego stripping" tools, I recommend reading Tolle's work. Even an agnostic (or atheist) might get some value out of them. He doesn't endorse any particular religion but more so is of the thought that all the religions are attempts at teaching the same thing, in different ways -- how the EGO (our brain patterns) are killing our spiritual selves.
This is why religions are good in their intent, but not in their execution. Humans are ruled by the EGO and not their BEING. What the human EGO touches becomes corrupted or distorted.
