The Most Optimized Song for Stress Relief, Focus, Mood Boost, and Instant Flow-State, 528Hz Pomodoro

Save this Track! “What if someone created the most optimized song for decreased stress, increased focus, improved mood, and instant flow-state for any and all creative, deep work you have to do today?” At Grownlearn, I am excited to share a revolutionary 25-minute track designed to help you unlock peak productivity and creativity. Created by James Beshara, blending sound, science, and wellness, this track is crafted around the transformative power of 528 Hertz—the “Love Frequency.” Here's how James describes his journey: “Hey, hey there. I'm James, the creator-founder of a few different things, one of which is a little energy drink called Magic Mind that you may have come across that gets you dialed in for flow state. Eight hours of just dialed-in, your to-do list just melts away. I'm also a musician here in Los Angeles.” James's passion for sound therapy grew from research into 528 Hertz: “The research around music at 528 Hertz, as that has become more and more clear in the last few years, that it can decrease stress, increase focus, flow, improve mood—all within minutes of exposure—I started to make music only around this frequency.” The track is also timed to align with the Pomodoro Technique, a proven productivity method involving 25-minute focused work intervals followed by short breaks: “I am releasing a song that is, dare I say, 25 minutes long, because of the Pomodoro. A method of productivity, where you set a timer for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and then another 25-minute block. I always wanted music that was timed for 25 minutes, instead of just setting a timer or having to have a timer on your desk.” This unique sound experience blends 528 Hz frequencies with rhythmic elements that naturally sync with your breathing, creating a calming, uplifting, and focused environment: “I wanted to share it with as many folks that might find this interesting. Sound frequencies... In fact, Einstein himself said that the therapy of the future will be frequency-based. You have PEMF mats, you have red light therapy, and I think 528 Hertz sound therapy is going to be massive in the future.” This 25-minute track is ready to accompany you through your deep work sessions, creative projects, or daily to-do lists.

https://bit.ly/Go_BelowtheLine Dr. John Vervaeke is an associate professor at the University of Toronto, where he teaches courses on thinking, reasoning, problem solving, and cognitive development. He also frequently teaches a course on neuroscientific cognitive scientific theories of consciousness. In addition to his work in cognitive science, Vervaeke is also interested in bridging the gap between spirituality and science. He has created several video series on these topics, including Awakening from the Meaning Crisis and To Awakening from the Meaning Crisis Round Two. Awakening from the Meaning Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncd6q9uIEdw&list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ&ab_channel=JohnVervaeke "The mind is between you and the world in a fundamental way. And that you shouldn't think of your mind just as between your brain and the world. But the way in which your brain is in your body is fundamentally relevant to the way in which your brain connects to the world. And you have to understand your mind as the intersection of those two connectivities, how you are connected to your body and how you're connected to the world. And that's where the mind actually is." John Vervaeke, PhD believes that the mind is not just between the brain and the world, but also between the brain and the body. He says that the mind is a dynamic, self-organizing process that is constantly adapting to its environment. He also believes that the separation of cognition and emotion is a false dichotomy, and that both are deeply interwoven. Finally, he believes that the mind is perpetually susceptible to self-deception, and that wisdom is the ability to overcome this self-deception. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The mind is not just in the brain – it is also between the brain and the body, and between the individual and the world. 2. Emotions and cognition are deeply intertwined, and neither can be understood in isolation from the other. 3. Most of our knowing is non-propositional – it is knowing how to do something, rather than knowing that something is true. 4. A rapid fire summary of some of the greatest philosophical minds of the last 2500 years including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Buddha, Jesus Christ, St. Augustine, Plotinus, Henry Corbin, Carl Jung, and more.

James Beshara, an angel investor and the founder of Tilt, a crowdfunding company acquired by Airbnb in 2017, used to drink seven. cups. of. coffee. a. day—a habit that landed him in the ER with a racing heartbeat of over 170 beats per minute for three weeks straight. That turning point in James's life led him down a rabbit hole of research on coffee, caffeine and alternative ways to boost productivity and heal, a search that included plant medicine. In this Taboo Tuesday, James talks to Dr. Emily about his first experience with psychedelics, and the effect it still has on him today. Staying emotionally fit takes work and repetition. That's why the Emotionally Fit podcast with psychologist Dr. Emily Anhalt delivers short, actionable Emotional Push-Ups every Monday and Thursday to help you build a better practice of mental health, and surprising, funny, and shocking conversations on Taboo Tuesdays - because the things we're most hesitant to talk about are also the most normal.

They're non-toxic. You can take them once and still see effects a year later, five years later, versus something like Prozac that you would need to take every day.”   (15:29) - Trying psychedelics - “I was just like, ‘I'm getting on a river. I don't even care where it goes.' The intention was let's freaking explore, go off the deep end and see what's out there again.”  (18:41) - James's first experience with ayahuasca - “Like someone was giving me permission to just be awestruck by everything.” (22:33) - Creating new neural pathways with psychedelics - “The entire experience was, ‘You're going to learn to let go and go into the fear. And right on the other side of the fears is bliss. That is where heaven is, is right on the other side of what you're afraid of.'” (25:43) - Psychedelics aren't a silver bullet fix - “I think what the world really needs is to be empowered to do the long game work. And to know that you didn't come to your pain easily, you're not going to come away from it easily.”

For profitable, large businesses, a downturn can be great for recruiting and retaining talent as there is a flight to safety and security. For small businesses that have focused maniacally on profitability from day one, a downturn in the market is also managed relatively well. This is in contrast to technology startups that often have to spend years building the product before they can monetize or spend the first few chapters of the company's life focusing on growth over revenue maximization. This means that in an economic downturn, these startups/teams/founders are the most vulnerable to shifting markets, especially those that are dependent on outside capital. This episode is the resource for how to manage one's own psychology, as well as the psychology of the team around them when building and leading a business like this. In the episode, I outline tactics like getting comfortable with the worst case scenario (in order to maximize the chances of the best case scenario), as well as outlining the five guidelines for managing and optimizing your psychology in the midst of circumstances that often present a “fog of war” type of scenario for most leaders. In short, I put this together for you to avoid that scenario. The guidelines have more details within the episode, but they are here below as well for you to reference: 1. Assess and set *proper expectations* for yourself and the team. 2. Find and orient towards a *higher ideal*. 3. Manage your *mental wealth*. 4. Question everything, *especially your own assumptions* going into this new environment. 5. Find your *community of truth*. Please let me know what I may have missed in the comments and share this with any creator that may be going through the extremely intense situation of feeling like the walls are closing in on them. And if you are a creator in this scenario, please reach out to me on Twitter or Instagram if there's a way I can help. https://twitter.com/jamesbeshara https://www.instagram.com/jamesjbeshara https://bit.ly/Go_BelowtheLine You can also always hit the show hotline and leave a question or comment for the show at 424-272-6640 // James questions directly at askbelowtheline@gmail.com // or follow us on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/gobelowtheline Support Our Sponsors ?
