Our ultra-informed guest today is my good friend, Max Casa, The Shamonic Sensei. He's an accomplished lifetime martial artist, performance coach, and medicine man – and today we soak up the divine wisdom and healing power of float tank technology (while soaking our feet in the process).

We go over the three main pillars of benefit: anti-gravity, sensory deprivation, and magnesium absorption – float tank ingredients, the practice’s complex history and politics, the positive impact it has on the brain, and so much more in this one

And by the way, if you like me, are keen on getting a float tank of your very own in your home or perhaps your wellness center, here's what you do – visit lukestorey.com/maxvitality and use code LUKESTOREY for 10% off salts or $2,500 off a tank.

But Max didn’t stop there! After sharing this soak, there were good vibes to be shared all around.

Vitality Floats is offering an additional $10 off for the first 15 buyers of Vitality Salts after this episode drops. You can access this special by using the code FIRSTFIFTEEN at checkout. They’re also offering up an additional $500 off all float tank purchases, valid for the next fourteen days, only. Just mention that Luke sent you (until February 7th).

With all that on the table, you have (even I have) no excuse to not make this incredible practice part of our more regular health and wellness routines. Let’s get soaked, people.
