Okay, so I read everyone else's reviews, and apparently I had a different experience. So, here we go.
I'll begin by saying that I certainly didn't feel "zen." However, please take this review with a grain of salt ;) for a few reasons:
1. This was my first floating experience.
2. Apparently, every float is different. Or so I've heard.
3. I am not a chill girl. I am not one of those girls who just "goes with the flow." I am an obsessively updated calendar kinda girl. I am a rushing-from-point-A-to-point-B-my-shoulders-are-always-tense kinda girl. Letting go is really, really hard for me.
I was terrified at first. For probably the first 5-10 minutes (it's hard to tell time when you're in there). From the moment I turned off the lights, I remember thinking to myself, "What the actual hell have you gotten yourself into?" After a few (hundred) deep breaths, I was (mostly) able to relax.
I didn't fall asleep or fall into some transcendence. But I did feel playful. I had fun. I twisted my body like a snake and splashed around. I hummed "What Child Is This" because that was the first song that came to mind. You know that scene in the Jungle Book when Baloo and Mowgli float down the river? That's what it felt like. Maybe this is my version of serenity, and if so, I would certainly do it again.
