1. A portable isolation module for reducing ordinary levels of stimulation comprising:
- an inflatable enclosure of sufficient size to accommodate at least one adult;
inflatable containing means at the base of said inflatable enclosure containing a pool of a high density liquid of sufficient size for supporting at least one adult in a state of floatation;
said inflatable containing means including an inflatable bottom portion supporting said liquid on a cushion of contained gas for minimizing the transmission of external stimuli of an acoustic nature into said liquid;
air supply means coupled to said inflatable enclosure for supplying fresh air to the interior of said enclosure; and
temperature control means coupled to said inflatable containing means for maintaining the temperature of said high density liquid near normal body temperature.
