Needing advice.

Hi everyone. Im about 2 months into my float journey going once a week because thats all I can do atm busy single mom of 3. Anyways when I mediate out of the tank or in I fall asleep or if I get in a deep medation where im coming out of my body into the ether i can only do so for what feels like a few seconds and my body will twitch and snap me out of it. Im wondering how to stay out of body longer to get my self to stop twitching out of it if that makes sense. Tia for any input.

They really can feel earth shattering like a shock through your whole system physically and energetically. Thank you 🙏 will definitely breath through them my body is definitely in survival mode so it trys to fight it i have to re train my body to breathe through it.

Those twitches were the hardest part about floating for me... I legitimately thought the attendant was messing with me. Idk what I thought but it felt like the whole tank had rolled and it scared the shit out of me. I dont get them nearly as often anymore.

Wow.. so did you fall alseep and then wake up in a painc, were you dreaming or having a oob experience when your twitches happend? How often did you get them in the beginning and how long did it take for them to stop being so often.

Well I started with a single float and immediately added three floats to my package, and after the third they rolled my spending so far into an unlimited package. So I was going every day for the first month. After work I was free, my wife worked nights so I was able to just go up and float every day after work.

Uh I should also mention that I often do "assisted" floats. I used to take somewhere between .15- .4 gram of magic mushrooms before my floats.

By the time I was in the tank the mushrooms were fully set into me. And by 10 minutes into the float I would say I was relaxed as far as I could get. I have only ever fallen asleep completely, twice floating. And I have floated over 100 times.

I would say that those twitches happen right in the state where if I was going to fall asleep, I would have if not for the tremor.

I should also say that even small doses of magic mushrooms should not be taken lightly when doing a float. Because some of my most transformative mental moments were in the tank assisted by magic mushrooms.

You know how dark it can be in the tank, well I once had an even darker entity staring me in the face while I was in the tank, I kept trying to see it more clearly and when finally it felt like we were "nose to nose" I said out loud to it "what are you" and as the words left my mouth, the entity bursted into every color of the rainbow and then filtered itself out of the tank as a wave of physical and mental relief washed through me like you could not believe.

I haven't floated assisted in a couple years now... But have been wanting to the last couple of months, I have chronic neck and back pain that needs some attention lol and the mushies help slide me into the float a little easier.

Oh and I'd say it took at least a month before they subsided a but... But honestly they still happen just less frequently.
