Can you afford to go once a week? If not, perhaps another visit could kickstart meditation? It took me ages to train myself to meditate at a time I was suffering from depression, but it was amazingly calming once I could get my brain to switch off from all that internal chatter for 15 minutes a day. And they say if you meditate a lot, it makes you very happy.

In this case your senses are not deprived. You smell and feel the salt and the water, you hear...well, at first the music, then the water, then your pulse. I have tinnitus so I heard that, but my consciousness of it went away. You can decide if you want to be deprived of sight or not, by turning off the lights.
