Okay trance suits? Call me a skeptic. Getting back to floating.....
The reason floating in an isolation/floatation/etc tank "works" is because one has their sensory input reduced to an absolute minimum. Light is reduced to near nothing (nill for all intents and purposes), temperature of surroundings is made to equal body temperature, the effects of gravity are minimalized by using bouyancy in water (simulation of zero gravity...closest you can get without a ride into space or on that special jet which gives a few minutes of zero-G), audio is reduced to as close to nothing as possible (although some like to use noise and/or aural beats to drown out the sound of the thumping of the heart and the sound of breathing).
Long story short, floating seems to come as close to sensory reduction to nearly-nill as possible. How does a trance-suit take away the feeling of gravity in a way that floating IN water can do? I'm curious. Because it would seem that without taking away the sensation of gravity (as well as one can), then that particular sensory perception will continue to be perceived, and in the absence of other senses, will have the illusion of being amplified or noticed much more, would it not?
To the person posting the original question, my advice would be to stop searching for some ellusive trance-suit and if you want something to induce out-of-body experiences, astral projection, etc, then look into just owning a waterbed and buy yourself the Robert Monroe audio CD's. Better yet, maybe book yourself for a workshop or two at the Monroe Institute's ranch. That is, before the FDA actually is consistent in pursuing ALL offenders (of their stupid laws) equally under the law and goes after ALL businesses and products which advertize unsubstantiated claims of being able to relieve/treat illness or disease.
The trance suit's being recalled....seems like from the previous post (Centaure) that the FDA *only* recalled that product because of the law (unconstitutional policy, not law if you ask me) because the company was FOOLISH enough to make claims of it treating illness...which puts that company in that category of being a charlatain one. I can see both sides of that argument. If the FDA didn't restrict such outrageous and unsubtantiated claims then we'd be back in the day and age when people sold 'snake oil'. But the opposite side of that coin is now the FDA can mandate that you must jump through THEIR 'hoops' and incur OUTRAGEOUS costs just to bring a homeopathic remedy-to-illness to the people. How long before the FDA begins outlawing floatation tanks or restricting their use and design so that one can't own/operate one even in their own home (legally)? I am afraid to even ask that question online - lest the ever watchful 'big brother' be awakened to it all and see my words here and come swooping down on floatation tanks with all their ignorance and Nazi-like prohibitionist might.
Sorry for the rant, but I think everything has been true and relevant
