I want a deprivation chamber

Whoa racist!

I fail to see how acknowledging Alcatraz is a Muslim and that his faith requires discipline is racist. If going 30 days not consuming any food or water from surnise to sunset isn't a definition of personal discipline I don't know what is. I've gone five days without consuming any calories I can't go more than an hour without drinking water. Three and I'm parched as hell.

From your posts you seem like the type that could use a few hours of floating in silence and darkness, might chill out that temper of yours.

Lol @ you taking that so serious.

And no, I will pass on the bullshit therapeutic meditation whateverit'scalled. I can deal with life the way a normal adult can. Shit happens, I don't need hours of silence to keep me from freaking out.

like MM said, these were big in the late 60's early 70's, pretty much everywhere, then they went by the wayside. I never used one myself, but knew people who did, some really thought it was cool, others just couldn't get into the whole thing....

Eh, that's one of my problems on this board, I honestly can't tell when people are kidding if they don't give a clue with an emoticon or a J/K or something.

And your second paragraph pretty much sums up what I ran across in teaching newbs to meditate. Until you've experienced being in control of your thoughts versus the other way around there's kind of no way to explain the value. One of the benefits is it turns the volume down on day to day stressors. It can literally chill out the near constant state of fight or flight many people exist in our society, reducing anxiety and cortisol levels. That's a medically proven fact.

Sounds interesting.

I heard the sound chambers where they test high end speakers drives people mad. There's video out there of people sitting in it and they are designed to be so sound isolating and silent that you hear the inner working of your body and it just creeps people out since we don't hear it in our day to day.

Still I'll try anything once.

That may be true and probably beneficial to many people who can't cope with day to day life

But honestly I have zero stress in my life. My wife and I make good money with zero debt, have an amazing daughter, live in a nice home on plenty of property, and are pretty much in control of every aspect of our lives.

I'm right where I need to be. Playing in the floor with Alli is plenty relaxation for me
