      They state that the patient maintains an upright posture and focuses on their breathing (usually). The patient regards thoughts and lets them pass by once they are addressed. But it's not a one process thing. It can be practiced in many ways

      Using help from others goes away from practicing mindfulness and becoming self aware. It's a little ironic that sources saying to not take help from others are others themselves, and people reading the article are taking direct help from others

      Always be yourself, but yourself should be a person that's respectful of others. Mean people should realize that they might be disrespectful to others.

      I feel like people are always seeking advice from outside sources about how to make their life better. They should just stop and think about themselves and they will get much further. People commonly need that push.

The Zen of floating - The Week - 0 views

  • The saturation of Epsom salts in the water made me unnaturally buoyant — my face, stomach, and knees an archipelago of islands amid the tub's ocean.
    • Brian Walsh
       
      So you go from bored, to anxiety, to peace?
  • For a tank newbie like me, the more intriguing aspects of floating include 1) its possibly imagined, Lilly-esque potential to reveal hidden layers of consciousness within, and 2) its proven capacity to chill people out. Suedfeld happily acknowledges point two. "Anything related to psychological stress," he says, "whether it's chronic tension headaches, insomnia, things with no known physical cause…after several floats, they really seem to improve."
