How the isolation chamber works and how it effects the brain

[graty99]

this video inspired me to build the tank. Thank you

[SirchBDS]

Oh yea what do u see personally when u hallucinate???

[SirchBDS]

Im really scared of like hacullinations, im scared to see my true self, Like u say ur gonna need to face ur true demons, i dont think im happy with who i am should i go thrugh with this anyway???

[Metatheist]

If i hide his face with my hand, I see the body of a black person, lol

[MiaCries]

Is it similar to taking a bath, except more room to lay out?

[astrialkil]

Nice talk, from a perspective i wouldn't other wise have been exposed to. you tube at its best! Thank you!

[KingOfClay]

The isolation chamber sounds like a recreation of being in a mother's womb. Maybe one's subconscious mind starts remembering the experience and this causes the effect.

[PsychedeliccUniverse]

this sounds amazing i'm going to do it, they have one where I live!!

[lauraine92]

I need to float!! I have had some experience with complete dissociation. I am very interested in this I am outside of Philly and I have heard the eagles have tanks. I want to find a good place local to me that isn't like a spa I want sensory deprivation.



[jgrimmier]

Would you recommend it to someone who is confused/unhappy about what they are doing with their life and where it may be heading?

[BurriedOutBack]

This interview completely influenced me to try this, I've been thinking about doing it for a while but never really seriously considered it.

I plan on going very soon.

[Drivorooski]

I just had my first session at Float Lab yesterday and I totally agree with you. Life changing experience!

[bassplayer703]

What if you have to pee?

[wilkmn]

Man, your nipple is HUGE.

[wiiagent]

Not bad man...

[DizzyDerwish]

AFFECTS the brain, not effects the brain.

[perceptionsevrything]

appreciation=liberation, appreciate the NOW wherever One is and One will receive more to appreciate, soooo happy for you and for your experiences and self discoveries.

[shogunruasknees]

Kratos???



[MultiGazman]

If you were to watch video of say space in motion,Would it help you to astral travel? I have done a bit of lsd and mushies in my time and this sounds like a similar experience is possible! My only regret with the drugs was not having tried a more spiritual experience. So what im getting at i guess is using the tank to amplify, accelerate,expand the possibility of a spiritual time space experience with out the use of drugs as im told you can do it that way but its not the correct way to do it!

[AviatorAndyK]

VERY helpful and interesting, gotta try this.

[TheIndustrialphreak]

Looks like the closest isolation tank is in Dallas Texas.

[TheIndustrialphreak]

Dude your making me Jones for an isolation tank experience.

[MrKirkuleez]

how much is it???

[357raider]

Scary. I take a walk in desert to clear.

[jaybee123100]

just did it for the first time, just want to warn people about the salt getting into your eyes.

[gmaster999]

@jaybee123100 lol great advice - you can tell us everything. you say.  "WATCH FOR SALT"

[Messyhaired]

on short... we need to talk!!!

[exdreamer1999]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. :)

[drummo86]

At around the 5 minute mark you mention how that if you're not completely happy with who you are and what you've become then you're " going to have to face some demons ", nicely put...It just made me think, would you recommend this to someone who's depressed/anxious or could that be a disaster? Only because that was one of the crucial things people always used to say to me about hallucinogens, in that, if you're not happy then it'll be a bad trip. Great video's man very informative!

[Cova260]

@drummo86 alot of the "bad" trips feel bad because you deal with issues that actually have meaning to you. Its the "bad" trips that are the most beneficial to you, and cause you to grow out of unhappiness from the experience.

[50kT]

i completely understand and can relate to all you have said

[787montez]

Thumbs Up For The Cat In The Back . . . Inspiring Video B T W

[DeeHaych1]

i'm jewish, would it still be ok for me to try this?

[lsjohns89]

i reckon this is probably the best way in the 'western' society to reach enlightenment.

[markissuperrad]

you really have a great way of expressing yourself. a great vocabulary

[225adan]

thanks bro i really wana do it also

[SensiRootsBoy]

Your nature is absolute peace. You are not the mind. Silence your mind through concentration and meditation, and you will discover the peace of the Spirit that you are, and have always been, worries, fears, desires, restlessness, nervousness drive peace of mind away.

[cheetah121212]

my biggest question i have for this is, is there anyway that you could end up drowning or something like that?

[tobtob180]

I really wanna go! I live in ventura county so I could drive to venice beach but I don't think any of my friends would want to go- just because most of the people I'm around having reached this level of conscience to understand. Should I go alone? Cause I really want to do it.

[lukaslarson]

@tobtob180 I went with a friend the first time, but lets remember the key word here, Isolation. You don't need anyone there, because once you get there you're alone anyway. Just do it, no excuses, just do it and do it right away. This is like so many of those other experiences that people always say they are going to do and never do. Just go and find out if it's for you. My thoughts anyway. Probably only 10% of the people that tell me they are going actually do.

[tobtob180]

@lukaslarson haha yeah good point and I defiantly am going to do it 100% I was actually just at venice beach but I didn't really know where it was could you tell me what the place is called you went to? Oh yeah and have you got stoned before you go in there cause thats what I was thinking of doing to make it even a more mind blowin experience. thanks for your insights on it

[whole27]

@lukaslarson what is the purpose of the enormous amount of salt in the water? And does it have any negative affects on your skin??

[MyNameIsMickles]

I've been researching this for a while now man and You've completely sold me on doing in. I'm VERY excited about trying it..

[Timmy8200]

lol at the cat in the background

[g31n3z3w5k1]

Awsome video! I have demands I need to face this sounds like what I've been looking for, eh worth a try

[timharris]

I have my 1st appointment scheduled for Float Lab in a couple of days. I'm really hoping for the psychedelic and visual effects. What would you recommend that I do with my mind? Should I aspire to have no thoughts?

Also, have you tried reaching these levels without the tank? That would be fucking sweet if you could trip just by meditating in your room or outside.

[copetedavid]

Love the video, good vibes! thanks for the post!

[pyrotyro]

A+ Video! Finally found a float center near where im at, only a 30 min drive away... going in sunday and I CAN'T WAIT! In high school I used to do alot of meditation/mind/body/spirit stuff... then by the time college was over I had pretty much lost all the hard work I had put into attaining that pure state of consciousness and living in the "now".... and I think the float tank is my way back to that state of mind... anyways, you should definitely keep the vids coming! Thanks again, Tyler :-D

[lukaslarson]

@pyrotyro I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. Subscribe and I'll keep them coming :)

[Jncwarrior]

The place that Im going to float offers music during the session. Do you recommend with or without music?

[lukaslarson]

@Jncwarrior Definitely without for your first time. I've never used music, because I have no interest, but try it if you do. He does offer video and sound options.

[Globalx59]

or you can get a snorkel and float vertically in a pool

[inmypinktutu]

Wonderful explanation on the iso.chamber! Also, rad tattoo.

[weekendbuskin]

Man i want to try this out SOOO Bad!!! They dont have any spas with float tanks here in Honolulu. Great Video though!

[hallal55]

so you just lay down and you float?

[lukaslarson]

@hallal55 That's it. Just try it and see for yourself.

[hallal55]

@lukaslarson yeah i found a place ...2 hours away but im sure itl be worth the drive!!

[bigliftin16]

@lukaslarson do u recommend being sober for this experience? was wondering if being high might intensify it

[lukaslarson]

@bigliftin16 Try it both ways if you're curious. I'd go sober first.

[bigliftin16]

@lukaslarson do u recommend being sober for this experience? was wondering if being high would intensify it

[TheDarthChop]

I was researching isolation tanks and found your vid...

After watching your vid, not only did you answer my questions, but now I'm A MILLION TIMES MORE AMPED TO TRY IT !!!

[PaulYetter]

I would agree that Float Lab has terrific tanks. I live in Florida but used their tanks when in LA. Additionally, I own a tank and will attest that Lukas is right on...the tank was a life changing experience for me as well. We are more than our physical body, and you get to know that other side of yourself while in the tank. The visual and kinesthetic changes you see/feel in the tank --and most importantly, afterwards -- are astounding.

[ImGoingToSlapYou]

Three questions: Does someone have to get you out? Is this leagal*? And is there a certain age you must be?

[ThaRayman]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your point of view on this! I totally get what you are talking about from my own psychedelic experiences. Will most def. try this when I get the chance! Think we have like two of these tanks in Norway.

[downwiththevatican]

Hey Lukas I'm going to try this for the first time this Sunday and was wondering if you recommend a 1 hr session or 2 session.

~Cheers.

[lukaslarson]

@downwiththevatican Stay in as long as you can. Love your screen name by the way. I hope all those monsters molesting children and those pieces of shit who protect them get everything they deserve. 

[downwiththevatican]

@lukaslarson Im hooked. This was a definite worthwhile experience! I was in the tank for an hour and a half and was lost within my own imagination. Well said for those grown men in oxford cloth suits...jajaja

[The1234cadillac]

If that tank makes you feel and think that way. Just imagine how astronaut feels in space

[lukaslarson]

@The1234cadillac Very interesting question. I heard the guy who has spent more time in space than anyone else speak a while back and he spoke of how incredible the isolation feels. He was asked by someone if he would get lonely in space, and he responded that, while being lonely, he would prefer to live in space forever even if he never saw another person again. He said that when you are in space looking down on earth things fall into perspective in a way that he feels is otherwise unattainable.

[MrRyans777]

@lukaslarson Do you hang out with Joe Rogan?

[pojo205]

@The1234cadillac

that isn't how it works. you don't feel and think that way just because it feels like you're floating with zero gravity. It shuts off all your sensors, visual, hearing, feel. So then the brain isn't really processing anything. But you're awake so it must process something, that's where the psychedelic comes in. I always thought of it this way, it's a dream that's taking place while you're awake. Because when you sleep, you essentially shut off your sensors

[trench311]

Great video thank you for the info. I found out about this from Joe Rogan videos The whole thing makes alot of sense to me. Ive been working on my own path to truth after a very tragic year. Out of all that I realized I was lost. So along with therapy,meditation,massage,now yoga Im feeling something and this seems a natural next step. Keep the videos coming. Trench

[carlossean1726]

going deep into your own thoughts can be very mind blowing...i plan on doing it tonight

[poolboyinla]

Now I think I will try it.

[Jink5]

Lukas, thank you so much for sharing your information about your flotation tank experience. I appreciate your heads-up on the demon question subject at 4:53. This is one of my concern regarding the flotation tank's effect on the pineal gland of our brain. I want to experience the flotation tank regardless of what I may face there that's been hunting me for long. I believe based on my information on this subject & other scientific + spiritual senses, that the flotation tank will help me.

[Kushmanx420]

Hey Lukas.. Your video really put the floatation tank experience into perspective. Ive just learned about it and I'm going for my first session next week. I know what you mean about wanting to share it with everyone I'm already doing that lol. Thanks bro, all the best!

[MrLemmy2000]

Dude I'm stoned what did you do to yourself?

[codeblue25]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on floating. I've been waiting for a place that offers it to open up in my area, and one finally did. I must say, for a guy who looks so intimidating, you seem to be a really nice guy. Very cool.

[lukaslarson]

@codeblue25 Never judge a book by its cover. My appearance and my preference in art do not define me as a person. Thanks for watching. I've got more vids on the way. Be sure to subscribe.

[rgct1972]

I have wanted to try this since I saw Altered States in 1980 when I was 8!!!

I will someday,nice vid man thanks for sharing.

[ganlum1973]

Hi Lukas, just want to echo what other people have already said really, that's a real nice video and thanks for sharing that.

I've not yet tried the flotation experience but I'm already hooked without trying it! After reading some stuff by Eckhart Tolle and seeing some of Benjamin Smythes stuff (check him out on Youtube) I feel this experience is the next one in my evolution.....

[sammy98989]

The separation of mind as a means to objectivity. What an interesting idea, I've always assumed the premise of having others participate for objectivity to be possible.

[vietprodigy91]

ive just bought a hour session, i smoke weed. should i go in their high?

or is that not a good thing? thanks!

[lukaslarson]

@vietprodigy91 I would say that most people I know who smoke weed, smoke before going in there. I would recommend experiencing it with a clear head your first time. After you experience it, try it stoned. It's really up to you, and I don't smoke weed, so I can't speak for the effects of using the chamber high, but I'd try it both ways. Remember that your first session may be less than perfect. It's a new sensation that you will have to adjust and get used to. Enjoy the experience,

Lukas

[peacekelsey]

You're a very happy sweet soul! Thanks for sharing your story! Much love and light to you dear brother! <3

[lukaslarson]

@peacekelsey Thank you very much.

[q1q1q1q1qw2]

really really in-sighting, thank you so much Lukas.

hope we meet someday.

[lukaslarson]

@q1q1q1q1qw2 I'd love to. I'm always happy to meet great people with open minds.

[clayufcmusicfan]

I cant wait to buy one in the next 4 to 5 years, hopefully you buy one,one of these days man.

[clayufcmusicfan]

Instead of people saying,"im getting a hot tub for my birthday and its just going to be the ultimate relaxer". Now i hope to god in the next 4 to 5 years to hear "yea im getting a Flotation Tank next month man,its time for me to evolve,you?" "yea man i cant wait to get mine next year". I believe there should be a Floating shop everywhere your at.

[lukaslarson]

@clayufcmusicfan I couldn't agree more. More people need to try this and realize just how amazing the effects are. If you do this once or twice a week your life could be so much better and more productive and healthy.

[chadtrutt]

Thanks for sharing!

[lukaslarson]

@chadtrutt I'm happy to
