BYWATER (WGNO) - Welcome to the Space Sanctuary.

"It’s a float tank. It's got 800 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved into 200 gallons of water," says Space Sanctuary Commander Ryan Ballard.

It's a hyper buoyant, super meditative experience, devoted to relaxation, rejuvenation and conscious exploration.

"I've always had a love for float tanks. I love movies like Altered State and the TV show Fringe where they use the float tank to access an alternate reality," says Ballard.

The floatation tank is completely sealed from light and sound; it's a single person experience unlike any other.

Keep in mind the water and surrounding air is regulated to body temperature, so after a while, you don't really feel much of anything and your mind is left to wander.

"It's you all alone in the womb of the universe by yourself with your thoughts and your heartbeat and your breathing," says Ballard.

Its $50 for an hour, or $60 for a 90-minute float, and the best part, you can book your float time online. It's that easy.

Then all you have to do is show up.

"It's just important to go into it trying to be relaxed. I don't recommend doing it after four cups of coffee," says Ballard.

But he does recommend staying hydrated.

Remember, there's a lot of salt in this sanctuary.
