The Bacta Tank of Sound: Healing by Immersion
Written and narrated by Glenn Ostlund
What if sound could become your sanctuary?
In this immersive and intimate episode, Glenn Ostlund introduces a powerful new creative project: Control-ALT-Create—a podcast that blends neuroscience, story, sound healing, and therapeutic insight into a guided, felt-sense experience of healing and transformation.
Episode 894 of Infants on Thrones features the premiere episode from this new series: The Bacta Tank of Sound. Inspired by the glowing Star Wars recovery chamber, this episode explores how binaural beats, hypnotic language, and rhythmic storytelling can act as a kind of auditory flotation tank—calming the nervous system, softening the mind, and helping the body remember what it feels like to be safe.
You’ll learn how trauma speaks in rhythm rather than words, how the brain’s predictive coding and plasticity respond to sound, and how a meditative audio field can become a quiet revolution in self-care.
Glenn is excited to announce that Control-ALT-Create is now live—and he’ll be dual-publishing episodes both here on Infants on Thrones and on the new podcast feed. Why? Because there are so many fascinating ideas still to explore, and this layered format of sound, story, and science opens up entirely new possibilities for growth, healing, and creative expression.
So grab your headphones, settle in, and float—just for a little while—in your very own bacta tank of sound.
🎧 Control-ALT-Create is available now on all major podcast platforms.
🔊 Headphones strongly recommended for the full effect.
