Long-term meditation is a practice where a person trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness designed to promote relaxation, build internal energy, or develop a desired mental state. It can range from 20 minutes to an indefinite amount of time. A flotation tank is another means of focusing the mind by eliminating all external physical stimuli. In this clip, Tim Ferriss discusses his experience with flotation tanks and his desire to continue experimenting with this form of meditation.
Rhonda: I'm interested to know. You do talk about meditation a lot and being mindful and how that's important for a lot of things and it's been shown to improve learning, memory, things like that. Have you ever tried floatation tanks? Tim: I have. Rhonda: You have? Tim: I have. I've tried flotation tanks. I like floatation tanks. There is a new location, actually, in the city that I have not been to. Rhonda: Reboot Spa or something, I think is . . . Tim: Yeah, Reboot Spa, maybe Float Lab. I'm not sure exactly what the name is. I think it's Reboot. The only location that I had available to me beforehand was a real pain to get to from where I am kind of in the Noe Valley are. As a result, I went a handful of times, but could never make it a regular trek or didn't want to make a regular trek. But I could see using floatation tank for all sorts of different experiments, including potentially incorporating microdosing of various types. But do you use floatation tanks? Rhonda: I'm actually going to try it for the first time next week. So this new floatation tank place reached out to me, I think it's Reboot, and gave me some free passes and I'm like, "You know what? I'll do it. Let's get it a go." So I'm going to go next week. Tim: Cool. Don't shave the day before. Rhonda: Oh, okay. Yeah. Tim: You're basically in the Dead Sea. It's all salt. So you will be really unhappy. Rhonda: I'm excited. Tim: I wouldn't shave for a couple days beforehand.
