NOTE

Floating Ness

The process of auditing in Scientology aims for the achievement of a 'floating needle', indicating the resolution of both mind and body. Getting a floating needle is considered a gamified feeling achieved by recalling happy thoughts through various training drills. Every auditing session must culminate in a floating needle, verified by a third party. While some find auditing helpful and addictive, others may find it rigorous and invasive, requiring one to be open and willing to divulge personal information.
