Sensory Exploration
A sensory deprivation routine involves reducing or eliminating stimulation to one or more of the senses, such as sound or light. This can be done by using a sensory deprivation tank, earplugs, or an eye mask. Sensory deprivation can help to promote relaxation, improve focus, and reduce stress.
