I Tried Floating in a Sensory Deprivation Tank | You Glow Girl

Take your relaxing evening bath to the next level with float therapy (also known as sensory deprivation). You'll feel weightless floating in a pod with body-temperature water filled with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts, removing all outside distractions. Not only is it soothing, but float therapy is said to decrease muscle inflammation, soreness, and ease your stress and anxiety. Allowing your brain to slow down to the theta state (when you're hovering between being awake and asleep) can help bolster creativity while relaxing and refreshing your body. Professional athletes like Steph Curry have been known to try float therapy to help with recovery and boost athletic performance. Check out our first hand experience at Pause Float Studio above!

Thanks for watching! What should we try next? Let us know in the comments!

[@keithshowell6688]

My first experience was as if I was an astronaut drifting into "the sea of forgetfulness" and serenity. I prayed for peace and healing and gave thanks for still being alive during these troubling times around the world. I think it is even a better and easier method of meditation and quieting the mind. Thanks, POPSUGAR!

I went to one of these places last week and as a first timer let me tell you it was fn awesome ! I floated in the buff with the pod closed and the lights off. There was musical sounds which I wanted to shut off, but I couldn’t find the button and it wasn’t taking away from the experience so whatever. I fell asleep for I don’t know how long, but the entire session was 60 mins. Afterwards I was thirsty as all get out, but SUPER relaxed. That relaxation lasted the rest of the day and into the night when I slept like a baby. The vibe wore off the next day sadly - when I had to work a 12 hour shift loaded with cranky, overworked staff and entitled patients. But at least it worked, even for a short while. Definitely going back. A+++

[@ryanhoughton843]

I've done two sessions now fallen asleep twice very relaxing highly recommended

[@merian_d]

I floated once before, and I ended up meeting a deceased family member in a purple galaxy. It was wild! This video made me want to float again, so I made an appointment for tomorrow. So excited! 😁

[@gloriaelder8095]

My daughter and I are going for her birthday, she treating me and I am looking forward to it. Happy 34th Robin C.

[@zheniasannikov5804]

I tried! It's awesome!

[@TransparentMediaTruth]

To get the "full" experience being in your bday suit is recommended > some prefer adding earplugs ...not so much for me > but find floating to be incredibly beneficial on many levels

[@annies6566]

I've always wanted to try this.

Candace really enjoyed it, you should give it a go!

I have claustrophobia to and I might fall asleep In one of these I’m good sus do you ❤️.

[@Raydancin15]

I'd love to see you guys try a Reiki treatment or a Reiki Hair treatment

[@ps.feelgood]

That's a great idea!

[@returntonature9861]

Had reiki today. Got the strangest sensations in my head, like buzzing pins and needles when she wad working in that area.

[@saucecastillo460]

I floated for the 2nd time this week & it was very reminiscent of how people who've had NDEs, describe it on reddit. Not a white light & good times with dead homies, but the darkest black you could imagine & an absence of anything (body, thought, consciousness, etc), but they say it is beyond peaceful & they don't want to leave. I've never had an NDE, but based on the descriptions that most of the people on reddit give, it sounds remarkably similar to the float experience.

[@axellmao197]

if you fall sleep how do they wake you up?

[@waalex11]

Doesn't a massage sauna kinda work the same?...

[@AwakenThyself]

If you have anxiety, adhd, depression, ptsd etc - you NEED to prepare yourself for how your mind will flip balls as it will be terrified. It will be 100 % pitch black and NO light so your mind can play tricks. You have to go in with a very strong mind.... be very very very aware of this and you'll rock it!! xoxoxo ive done hundreds

[@davidmartin4605]

We all float down here!

[@LemonGrab-qf6xj]

It looks nice but I'm afraid of hallucinations I've had really bad hallucinations in the past but I'm kinda afraid to do it

[@paulbradley1983]

Do it!

[@randomgraham4302]

You will conquer your fears in the tank trust me. It's changed my life for the better.. my longest session was 2 1/2 to 3 hours and it did wonders for me!!

[@andreabenicky1879]

I never hallucinate..try it and see for yself hun

[@TheBagFumbler]

Stop being a pussy nothing can hurt you! man up and stop being afraid living your life in fear will have you missing out...

Songs great.

[@wonyoungstansincepd4889]

She should have tried it without her camera.

[@bg357wg]

What do you mean? Didn’t she do most of it without her camera?

[@jaghond448]

I wonder what kind of benefits this would have on people recovering from opiate withdrawal

[@sarahmurrell5317]

I bet it would be very helpful on your legs. It probably depends on what day of withdrawal.. you know that first day and your really cold sweaty and freezing but pouring sweat. So I wouldn't wanna get in it that day probably. But God I bet it would help your legs

[@diana_fit_nl]

Love this video! I tried floating and made a video about it on my channel 😊

[@jellybeansi]

I'm wondering if you can get sleep paralysis while in these. That would be awesome. It's fun to enter SP then a lucid dream.

[@chrisg3737]

What If u fall asleep

[@cherylknutson4241]

How much per hour

[@brianjones6500]

"I just don't want to see any dead people" - I didn't ///my float was ... you'd have to float to understand what a float is first. I will float again =]

Me over here just looking this up so I can be like El from stranger things- (don't ask. My family's psychic and I wanna see if I can find my friend)

[@brianjones6500]

Rose Tea?!? I didn't get any Rose Tea.

[@ChristophProbst]

I did this and was zen for a bit. Then I was kind of bored. I ended up opening the pod, getting my phone, and playing on my phone in the warm water until my time was up.

There’s no way you can roll over

[@huyked]

Even if you roll over, the very high concentration of salt will irritate your eyes and nose and that would wake you up, so I hear.

I guess they didn’t publish my comment but the first thing the girl focused on was her anxieties and how scary it was going to be for her people really have bad anxiety’s with any medication for it and you focused right in on that this is supposed to relax you and take all your anxieties away I hope by the end of the video it did do that for you and you can explain to us how wonderful the experience was rather than focusing on the anxiety of it all

[@victor3431]

Right. Complete placebo

When people bring cameras and bs in to do this it’s completely pointless and I don’t believe they experienced anything but trying to get footage for KZbin

[@lorraincassesso1611]

Honestly why do you have to talk about your anxieties yeah these people that really have severe anxiety is about things they’re supposed to go in there to relax yeah you’re focusing on your anxieties and you telling everybody you’re right about it I hope by the end of this video your anxieties have gone away and you can focus on how wonderful and relaxing the experience was and took all your anxieties away

This is NOT a SDC. This is a bathtub with a lid and some epsom salt. Sorry but you cant get SDC Experience with the LED that's in there. It defeats the whole purpose. Wow. Pause indeed.

[@Window4503]

She turned it off for an hour... most tanks have a light that can be turned on or off.

[@jamesg7520]

In your quest to smugly correct people, I T , consider this: "The term, 'Sensory Deprivation,' is totally inaccurate in the first place. Sensory deprivation implies that you remove all sensations. Well, the only way you can remove all sensations is to sever the afferent nerves."-- Dr. Suedfeld Dr. Peter Suedfeld is one of the seminal researchers in floatation tanks and REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), a more updated and accurate definition. The LED argument you make assumes she kept it on during her entire float, and would only be one of other similar appeals. Another would be that she's wearing a bathing suit, which also provides sensory input on the skin. Wow. Pause indeed.
