Some of the people who participated in the experiment wanted to experience the healing properties of it. It's interesting what this kind of thing can do to your body and mind. Others were afraid of going completely crazy. These chambers are meant to take people deep into themselves and let them drown in thoughts. Participants went to the chamber for about two hours and two hours later, they emerged from it like newborns. After some initial anxiety that is normal, it seems that the people all learned to be present with the experience and just let it happen. People rarely do that these days. Check out this video and see the experiment:

So, what did we learn? That we let life just happen to ourselves way to rarely. Who are you when there's no one to talk to, no phone to look at, no screen, no keyboard, no book? Who are you when you're facing just yourself? You can try to find that out even without a chamber!
