Try floating. Floating centers are popping up in cities around the world. In a 90-minute floating session you immerse yourself in a tank full of very warm water and about 800 pounds of sea salt—approximating the environment of the Dead Sea—so that you float. It is completely dark and silent around you. You emerge more relaxed and attuned to your environment. It feels like an emotional tune-up. Sensory deprivation does wonders for sparking wondrous thinking.
