- Sure, I have some info. Anything in particular?
-
- First of all, why are you interested in floating? Much of the
- same states can be induced with the ganzfield effect of sensory
- deprivation - cheap and easily.
-
- For creating the ganzfield "blank-out effect", cut two ping-pong
- balls in half and cellophane the halves (sans logo) over your eyes.
- Lie under a red light source and keep your eyes open. Soon your
- visual center will go black even though your eyes are open and
- receiving info... This is a well documented effect of visual
- sensory deprivation. Expanded states of awareness ensue. You can
- also add audio ganzfield by listening to white noise in headphones.
- White noise can be taped between radio stations.
