Multimedia |
|
All Pathfinder control units (AutoPilot,
TankMaster,
Standard)
can accommodate multi-media input during float sessions. The AutoPilot
runs the multimedia
control station automatically. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
|
Start of session |
| |
|
At the start of session, relaxing music,
video images, or guided meditations / progressive relaxation exercises
can accelerate and deepen the relaxation
response associated with floating. |
| |
·
|
It takes between 10 to 20 minutes for
the floatation REST environment to induce the relaxation
response, and for the floater to adjust from the sensory overload
of the external world to the
tranquility of the floatation chamber. |
| |
·
|
First-time floaters, in particular, may find this
transition difficult. Faced with a new experience, they may be slightly
nervous, excited, curious, and over-analytical - all at the same
time. |
| |
·
|
For first-time floaters, a 20-30 minute video presentation
at the start of session is often the best method of occupying their
senses while the relaxation
response is given time to spread through their bodies. |
| |
·
|
Even experienced floaters may find it hard to switch-off
"mental chatter" in the early stages of a float session;
many "purists" are surprised to discover the efficacy
of video-hypnosis or guided meditations. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
|
Mid-session |
| |
|
At the mid-point of a session, when brainwave
activity is in the potent theta
levels, learning or motivational training materials can have a profound
impact. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
|
End of session |
| |
|
At the end-of-session, the purpose of the music is to rouse the
floater from deep relaxation, and signal that the float session
is over.
Experienced floaters often prefer to spend most of the float
session in complete silence.
|
| |
·
|
At all times, the floater has fingertip control over Pathfinder's
audio and video systems. |
| |
·
|
The AutoPilot
and TankMaster
systems incorporate audio over-ride circuitry to ensure that end-of-session
music comes in at full volume. |
| |
·
|
The Standard
control unit also incorporates a visual signal to alert the supervisor
that the audio has been turned off. Full audio volume can be restored
bv the supervisor at the press of a button. |
| |
|

|
