First sensory deprivation float of 2026 today! I am amazed at how loud silence can be..the most important lesson learned in my one hour float; the tension our bodies hold reverberates at an extremely high volume. The tension held in the jaw, the tightly clenched stomach, the flexed glutes. All of this holding overrides the quiet, steady rhythm of the heartbeat. It overrides the calm. The tension takes our softness and replaces it with a constant vibration leaving our bodies and our nervous systems on high alert without the ability to come down. The silent killer.
The key take away? We can't always feel the tension, sometimes we need to get deeply silent in order to hear the havoc we are holding on to.
The goal for the following year is to practice the softening. To practice the letting go. We don't aim for perfection, we aim for awareness friends.
Thoughts from the tank.
