Joe Rogan – Floatation Tank Evangelist or Bad Punchline?

3:57 pm

One of the unique ways that comedian and TV personality Joe Rogan has made a name for himself is by being an outspoken proponent of floatation tanks. 

Most Americans today have no concept of what floating is or what it offers, so when a celebrity like Joe Rogan talks about it, a huge number of people’s initial perceptions are formed by this first impression. I think the following video does a decent job of framing floatation in a positive light, even if it is colored by the old Altered States stereotype.

Be that as it may, some people hold the view that any attention is good attention. I discovered floatation in 1999 in a small classified ad and tried it out of curiosity. Little did I know that it would change my life on multiple levels. My point is that all it takes is a small nudge, so I commend Joe Rogan for using his celebrity status to promote this life-changing tool.

I have wanted a floatation tank since 2004 or 2005 when I discovered them on the Internet. I can’t afford one of my own and there are no floatation tanks to rent in my area that I know of, and I have spent time searching for them.

I signed up for Joe’s mailing list, so hopefully the floatation tank sweepstakes is still open, because I sure would like to win one!

Thanks for your comment on my old blog, because it led me here where I discovered this nice video. I’ll be back to read more. :)

I am a masters level social worker and I do drug and alcohol counseling, our approach to counseling is a holistic one and we often will use acupuncture and/or massage therapy in conjunction with counseling I believe that this would be an awesome addition to that Holistic approach
