Samadhi Eco Tank Nothing relieves deep stress and tension like floating in the "weightless" dark silence of super-buoyant temperature-regulated water. "Floaters" often speak reverentially of how their experiences in the tank have profoundly increased their overall sense of well-being. Some 20 years ago Samadhi created a prototype float tank utilizing a less expensive technology - heavy duty cardboard - but at the same time cardboard was still too much of a novelty to expect the world of artists and designers (who have in recent years turned cardboard into a high-fashion industry). But now the everyday virtues of this material have become more obvious, and Samadhi has introduced a new generation cardboard shelled tank - the Samadhi Eco Tank. It is easily portable, environment-friendly and, of course, much less expensive to manufacture - resulting in a cost thousands less than conventional tanks! But how do these tanks hold up? Very well for personal use. Many of the original Samadhi prototypes are sill in use. The Samadhi Eco Tank is fully plastic lines with double walled sides and a tri-wall base. It's fashionable, durable, portable, and works great. Pump, filter, water heater and air heater come standard. Speakers can be added for $160, and an ozonator of UV for $650.

Relaxing in a large tank filled with ten inches of water in which 800 pounds of Epsom Salts have been dissolved is an experience that can never be forgotten. By simply restricting the influx of normal stimulation through the sensory paths we create a craving, a hunger for those same perceptions. Most people at this point become wonderfully sensitive to, and aware of what can only be described as the "non-environment".

The awareness center known as the brain, in addition to all its other functions, is also a very complicated REDUCTION mechanism. Throughout its evolutionary path it has permitted only a certain limited frequencies to penetrate to the awareness - precisely those that are needed for the survival of the human race. By judicious reduction of even these narrow sensory nutrients, (such as light, sound, touch, temperature, gravity, etc.) we begin to activate those areas of our brain involved with the higher faculties: those related to the evolution of higher (some say "Cosmic") consciousness.

It stands to reason that when survival is no longer a primary requirement and an energy drain, our real reasons for being on the planet make themselves known. These reasons are as unique as the individuals themselves and are explored, slowly and carefully at first, after the first number of floats, which deal with ordinary survival issues. Like a giant and powerful dynamo whose source of energy is little by little leaking - the logical, analytical, mathematical, statistical, scientific, mechanistic and calculating parts of the brain slows its activity down to a mere trickle - making room for, and encouraging the "higher reasons" and functions of life such as creativity, cooperation, reproduction, holism, peace, and perfection.

As fleeting moments of given Original Design become more and more commonplace, great changes occur in one's perspective. Many individuals report that after 6 to 8 floatation sessions they are no longer afraid of death. For others major priorities adjust to fit in closer alignment with their own given original design. But whatever truths you experience, the physiological by products are always the same: less pain, lower blood pressure, reduction of distress levels - and a much higher capacity to cope with the addiction to different modes of survival to which we are all subject.
