A Float Pod, also called an Sensory deprevation  tank, is used for restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST). It is a dark, soundproof tank that is filled with a foot or less of  water condensed with Epsom salts.

The water in a float pod is heated to skin temperature and  saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), providing buoyancy so you float.

You enter the tank and are cut off from all outside stimulation, including sound, sight, and gravity. As you float weightless in the silence and darkness, the brain enters into a deeply relaxed state.
