The benefits of floating for the elderly

I’m developed an interest in float tanks, aka sensory deprivation tanks, and I’m currently exploring that interest.

People who follow that path take a vow of non-violence, among other things. The...

Yoda: "These visions you have ..." Anakin: "They are of pain, suffering ... death." ... Yoda: "Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin! The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side." Anakin: "I won't let my visions come true, Master Yoda." Yoda: "Rejoice for those around us who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not.
