The 28-Day Nervous System Reset

Bonus Meditation: The Purple Lantern — The First Question

Is courage the absence of fear? Or is courage something that becomes possible when we learn to experience fear differently?

In this special bonus episode of The 28-Day Nervous System Reset, we introduce The Purple Lantern, a new immersive meditation series exploring the intersection of science fiction, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and the human experience of consciousness.

Inspired by the psychological and philosophical themes of DC's Lanterns, this first meditation invites you into a mysterious world of light, shadow, inherited beliefs, and difficult choices. Through an encounter between a Witness and a Teacher, we explore what happens when fear meets awareness—and how compassion and conscious choice can illuminate possibilities we couldn't see before.

Like the 28-Day Nervous System Reset, this experience combines guided storytelling with an atmospheric soundscape featuring 6 Hz theta binaural beats, designed to support relaxation, reflection, and immersive listening. Headphones are recommended.

The Purple Lantern is also becoming its own standalone podcast, featuring an expanding collection of original, story-driven meditations that use science-fiction mythology as a doorway into self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal transformation.

The 28-Day Nervous System Reset is a 6 Hz theta binaural meditation series telling the evolutionary story of the human nervous system—from the first molecules of early Earth to present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and greater choice in what happens next. Headphones are recommended for the binaural experience.

In A Tale of Two Dows, Glenn responds to a message from his father through a story about family, Taoism, a childhood cactus patch, and what he has learned about the nervous system since launching the 28-Day Nervous System Reset. It’s an invitation to notice thoughts, feelings, and inherited patterns with a little more curiosity—and perhaps discover a little more choice in what happens next.

Inspired by a listener’s email, this guided meditation explores what happens when we allow ourselves to fully receive a moment of peace, pleasure, and safety. Settle into the feeling of a blissful day at the beach and practice teaching your nervous system that this moment is safe to enjoy.

Love can become frightening when connection starts to feel tied to urgency, reassurance, or losing contact with yourself. This guided meditation explores anxious attachment through the nervous system, helping you recognize Red Zone activation, return toward Blue Zone safety, and practice staying connected to your own values while loving someone else.

Grief can move through the nervous system in many forms: tears, agitation, numbness, longing, exhaustion, and moments of unexpected connection. This guided binaural meditation uses the Polyvagal Roadmap of Emotions to help you make room for grief without demanding that it disappear.

In this third episode of Bathing with God Revisited, Glenn turns to Chapter 2, “A World of Pure Imagination,” examining how our sensory systems shape a highly restricted view of the world alongside neuroscientist David Eagleman’s concept of the umwelt and cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman’s interface theory of perception. Now a licensed therapist in Arizona, Glenn revisits the book as a way of tracing the intellectual, spiritual, and psychological path that eventually led him into the therapy profession.

The episode explores the limits of biological perception, how different organisms inhabit entirely different sensory realities, and the provocative claim that our brains trade literal truth for evolutionary survival, while also asking what these ideas might offer therapeutically. For listeners, the conversation invites reflection on cognitive humility, the distinction between our subjective models and objective reality, and how we can use intentional imagination to expand our psychological horizons and loosen the grip of rigid, defensive narratives.

This episode is presented as a theta binaural meditation. Headphones are required to experience the full binaural effect.

What happens when imagination becomes a doorway into a different way of seeing yourself?

In this episode of The 28-Day Nervous System Reset podcast, Quad—Glenn’s imaginary companion from the original Bathing with God—reaches out to Solivia, a newly imagined expression of one person’s deeper values, self-trust, compassion, courage, boundaries, and presence.

What begins as a playful conversation between two “imaginary” beings becomes an exploration of something very human: the stories our minds create, the intelligence of the nervous system, the fear that pulls us away from the present, and the possibility that the person we are trying so hard to become may already be present underneath the noise.

This is an experiment in imagination, perspective, and listening inward—not to find a perfect or authoritative Higher Self, but to become curious about what new choices might become available when we give another part of ourselves a voice.

In this second episode of Bathing with God Revisited, Glenn turns to Chapter 1, “Rub a Dub Dub, What’s That Voice in My Tub?”, examining its initial speculations on consciousness and subatomic energy alongside the work of journalist Steve Volk and physicist David Tong's insights on quantum field theory. Now a licensed therapist in Arizona, Glenn revisits the book as a way of tracing the intellectual, spiritual, and psychological path that eventually led him into the therapy profession.

The episode explores the limits of human perception, the nature of inner dialogue, and the speculative intersections of quantum physics and consciousness, while also asking what these ideas might offer therapeutically. For listeners, the conversation invites reflection on cognitive flexibility, how we relate to our own internal voices, and how we tolerate existential uncertainty in a world that extends far beyond our biological senses.

In this opening episode of Bathing with God Revisited, Glenn returns to the original introduction of Bathing with God, written in 2020, and compares its ideas with Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God. Now a licensed therapist in Arizona, Glenn revisits the book in 2026 as a way of tracing the intellectual, spiritual, and psychological path that eventually led him into the therapy profession.

The episode explores evolving ideas about God, consciousness, atheism, belief, and intelligence beyond traditional religious frameworks, while also asking what these ideas might offer therapeutically. For listeners, the conversation invites reflection on inherited beliefs, personal meaning, uncertainty, and the stories we use to make sense of ourselves and the world.

Does expressing anger always help—or can repeatedly rehearsing it sometimes keep the nervous system activated? This guided meditation explores the difference between awareness, healthy expression, rumination, and emotional escalation while practicing ways to acknowledge anger without feeding the fire.
