I&#x27;d like to use it more, but it&#x27;s a little cost prohibitive for me at the moment.<p>The biggest benefit for me is I&#x27;m able to say I&#x27;m going into a big tank of water for an hour so I won&#x27;t be available for your call&#x2F;text&#x2F;yelling&#x2F;whatever. I have problems feeling guilty about self-care, so I need that excuse to put myself first for a bit.<p>I went into my first experience expecting some sort of hallucinatory, transcendental experience. I did some meditation, but it felt forced. So I relaxed. That went almost too well. When I jostled back to full awareness, that&#x27;s when things got interesting.<p>Normally when I back-float in water, I&#x27;m aware of its 2D surface. I need to stay on the surface. Above is impossible, below is bad. In the tank, I could relax because the salinity kept me afloat. I was able to think and move in three dimensions.<p>The tank became this empty space of three dimensional &quot;white&quot; board, albeit pitch black and a little confined so I couldn&#x27;t go too crazy. But I was able to think out loud without looking weird. I could thrash my arms around as I visualized things against a blank canvas. I had a really interesting conversation with myself about web design, branding content, and readability.<p>The closest analog I can think of is movies like The Lawnmower Man where VR was this 3D empty, private space to manipulate with your mind.
