During a float, you step into a quiet, warm, private spa called a float tank and lay back on water in which 1000 lbs of Epsom salts have been dissolved. The water is more dense than the Dead Sea, so you will float right on top—we promise! This means that, after normalizing to the silky water, you will have no tactile input on your skin and no pressure points running along your body. You will be fully supported, and you will expend no physical energy to maintain your position in the water. The water is kept at a constant temperature of around 94.5 degrees, which feels warm at first but soon becomes almost imperceptible. The line between the air and the water becomes blurred. When you choose to turn out the lights, your eyes can rest in a comforting darkness that is the same if you open or close them. External sounds are kept to an absolute minimum through extensive soundproofing throughout The Float Shoppe, earplugs, and the design of the tanks themselves.

26 years in solitary confinement
The longest conclave lasted 33 months. In 1268, before Pope Gregory X was elected residents from Viterbo, north of Rome, tore the roof off the building where to cardinals were staying and only feed them bread and water in hopes make them chose a Pope quickly.
if you had cardinal jorge mario bergoglio of argentina in your pope pool, youve got indulgence money to spare.
