Have you done the float tank? I did that once. I did not like that at all. Clostrophobic? No. No, I just was so, I couldn't, I couldn't get into any kind of zone or vibe. I just kept like, I'm laying here in lukewarm water. I'm like, I'm not hearing anything. I was like, no, am I, am I liking this? It's getting a little colder. Oh, it's getting warmer. So I couldn't, I couldn't. Well, that is a real issue. If it's not temperature controlled correctly and you feel cold, it'll fuck up your experience. You really want it in that perfect sweet zone. But when you can get there, it's really all about whether or not you know how to concentrate on breathing. If you can just concentrate on breathing. I've done breath work. Yeah. It's very interesting. It's not a difficult formula that I employ, but I'll tell you guys if you listen, if you also float, when I get in there, I touch the sides to center myself so that I don't bounce against anything and distract myself because I'm floating, you know, and you drift into the wall sometimes. So I wait until the ripples die down because when you climb in, there's going to be like a little bit of rippling. Right. And then when you lay down, once the water gets still, then I let my hands go. And then I just think about breathing and I thought I'm not a wizard at this, right? It goes in and out. I think about, ah, I forgot to call that guy. Oh, I got to send that email. Oh, I got to, I got to book that. I got to put that on my calendar. I keep forgetting. And then if I just stay vigilant and make sure I go, okay, okay, get back on the road. And the bet, the road is thinking only of the breathing only of the in and out and the in and out. I just like visualize air coming in and out of my lungs and just that alone while lying in the tank will put me in a trance. It takes a while, but I can do it quicker because I've done it for years because it's like the tanks and normal thing I get in. I'm like, ah, the most I always think is I should do this more often. That's what I usually think, but I can get into trance by just thinking about the breathing.
