In this special meditation episode, Glenn Ostlund invites you into a deep, sensory exploration of consciousness, inspired by Lights On by Annaka Harris. What if your ability to hear—right now, these very words—is the end result of a long, intimate chain of living transformations? What if each one of those transformations is a kind of felt experience—not by you, but by the microscopic, responsive parts of you that make hearing possible?
Using the metaphor of a fireman’s bucket brigade, Glenn guides you through the journey of a single sound wave as it’s passed from molecule to membrane, from ancient bone to fluid spiral, from hair cell to brainstem, all the way to the thalamus—the gatekeeper of meaning—and beyond. It’s a meditation on what it feels like to be the parts of you that listen before you’re even aware of it.
Layered with binaural beats and structured brainwave entrainment, this 60-minute guided meditation is part of Glenn’s Lights In project—an experiential, meditative response to the philosophical and scientific questions posed in Lights On. It’s designed to slow you down, soothe your nervous system, and open up space for curiosity and wonder about the nature of felt experience and the mystery of consciousness itself.
So take a breath… and listen.
Because this is what the thalamus whispers to you…
every time you hear something that matters.
