This is by far the most common question we get about sensory deprivation.
And here’s the truth most people don’t expect 👇
You are never trapped.
✔️ The pod is fully under your control
✔️ You can keep the door slightly open
✔️ You can float with the lid open the entire time
✔️ The lights can stay on or off..your choice
✔️ You can get out at any moment
✔️ You can have spa music playing
For many people who think they’re claustrophobic, floating actually becomes the first place their nervous system truly relaxes.
Why?
Because there’s no pressure. No performance. No stimulation. No expectations.
Your body finally gets the signal that it’s safe to let go.
And if at any point it doesn’t feel right, that’s okay. You’re in charge the entire experience.
Sensory deprivation isn’t about being enclosed. It’s about creating enough quiet for your mind and body to reset.
✨ Calm doesn’t come from forcing stillness. It comes from feeling safe enough to rest.
If claustrophobia has been holding you back, this might be gentler than you think. 💭
