      <![CDATA[Excellent article, and captures the experience very well. When I first started reading about floating, I knew it was something I absolutely had to try. And once I did, I knew I needed it to be a regular part of my life. Basking in absolute nothingness is a wonderful experience and extremely therapeutic both mentally and physically. Thanks to the volunteer program at Float On, I've been able to float pretty often, and it's helped the stress-level in my life dramatically. Floating is absolutely wonderful.

<br>
This is possibly the most perfect written description of a float experience I've ever read!  Thank you for giving me something to pass along to my friends to supplement my own experience when they ask why I enjoyed it so much.<br>
<br>
Of particular note at Float On: their volunteer program.  For those unable to spend $40-$60 on something so holistically therapeutic and amazing, you can volunteer there to earn floats.  Bartering to heal...novel and brilliant.  I hope their earnings can continue to support this program.<br>
<br>
Thank you again - GREAT ARTICLE!
