I have thought from time to time about an ad on the internet for flotation companies. You get into warm salt water, in a private pod, close the hatch and float for an hour. Uninterrupted,alone and quiet....quietly suspended. The ads say that an hour of this is like 8 full hours of sleep. I was able to book an appointment for that afternoon.
It was a strange feeling because I am not all that good at simply relaxing these days....I was wishing I could read a book,(not possible), feared being bored and on and on.. I finally was able to really let go with some meditative breathing. I actually did fall asleep.
After finishing my hour, I felt great and full of energy. About an hour and a half later, I was so tired that I thought my bones had turned to jelly. I was good for nuthin! I did sleep well but awoke on Sunday completely lazy and unable to do a thing other than nap and lay around. I remembered this happened when I had a hot stone massage months ago. I thought at the time that I was just too relaxed and I didn't like it. I mean I need that adrenaline to get things done. There is a value of tension...isn't that what used to make clocks run?
