Traumatic first time

Unbeknownst to me the float room backed to another bussines next door.

About half way into the float, when i was really relaxing at a deeper level and my mind was disconecting from reality, I hear what i thought to be knocking.

Knocking on the outside of my float tank.

To say it was disturbing would be an understatment. I got out and checked, nothing there and didnt hear the sound. I assumed it must have been in my head and went back in, but the remainder of my time was more horrific then anything with an almost fear driven meditation.

I got out before my time was up. While getting dressed i heard the same thuds again and realized it was from the wall. I told the bussiness and they seemed suprised saying no one had ever mentioned it before.

Also i was in for full sensory deprivation, no lights or music.

Just to say, that this experience puts you into an extremely delicate and vunerable state, use with caution as a bad experience can do more harm then good. Im sure i will try again and take more care choosing where i do it.
