They say we know more about the far corners of our solar system than we do about the bottom of the ocean. There may be something happening as an incessant barrage of worldly input drowns out the wonderful weirdness waiting for you inside your own head.

This personal sensory deprivation tank creates the conditions for exploring the depths of your own mind by surrounding you with darkness, silence, and forget-that-it’s-there skin-temperature water, plus half a ton of dissolved Epsom salt to create an effortless float. The lightproof, soundproof enclosure strips away the usual sensory clutter while the water lets your body settle into weightlessness. It turns out that peace and quiet can be deliberately engineered, heavily salted, and kept at home. You just need to climb inside and see what’s been waiting underneath all that noise.
