How it works: Into a more tricked-out meditation experience? Baron recommends checking out your local "float clinic." Float clinics are trendy, spa-like locations containing "float tanks" or "isolation tanks," which are sound-proof, lightless tanks filled with skin temperature water. The water is filled with Epsom salt, which allows you to float effortlessly on top of it, like a cloud.
You float within your tank for 60 to 120 minutes for a deeply relaxing experience. (We get that this sounds a little claustrophobic, but floaters swear by it.)
This method was first used in the '50s by neuroscientist John C. Lilly to test the effects of sensory deprivation. Now, Baron says that more and more of these float tanks are popping up all over the country, introducing people who wouldn't otherwise meditate to a swankier form of the practice.
