Q: Describe what HydroZen is.
MORAVEC: “HydroZen is sensory deprivation therapy. It consists of 150 gallons of water and almost a half a ton of Epsom salt mixed together in what’s called a float pod. So, when you get into the pod, you actually float on top of the water. You can’t sink. Why would someone do that? Well, the benefit is to deprive your body of outer senses of the world – things like sound, pressure, touch, and temperature. When you’re in the pod, your brain and body have nothing to interpret. Normally, our bodies are interpreting something, whether it’s our clothes, sitting on a chair, or lying in a bed. But when you’re in one of these tanks, you’re body doesn’t sense anything because you’re lying on water. You just relax. It’s just like when people are trying to meditate. They’re trying to get their brain to turn off the outer world. HydroZen speeds you into that mental state.”
