Mindsip insights from this episode:

Grow your brain in eight weeks with meditation

Research by Dr. Sara Lazar demonstrated that just eight weeks of meditation can increase the density and volume of gray matter in the brain, even for novices.

Utilize psychedelics to unlock self-healing potential

In a MAPS MDMA trial, more people were symptom-free from PTSD at five years than at two months, suggesting the medicine teaches the innate ability to heal oneself over time.

Utilize 444Hz music frequency for sound healing and stress relief

Composer Michael Tyrell created "Wholetones" by resetting the A note to 444Hz, a controversial frequency believed to have sound healing and stress-decreasing properties.

Address preschoolers' antidepressant use amid modern stressors

Preschoolers are reportedly the number one growing demographic for targeted antidepressant use due to modern stressors like school start times and social media exposure.

Differentiate between dopamine-driven and norepinephrine-driven flow states

Individuals experience either dopamine-driven flow states, ignited by fun and euphoria, or norepinephrine-driven flow states, ignited by pressure or a "punch in the face" start.

Visualize pain away with the chalk outline drill

The "chalk outline drill" is a visualization technique where you envision a painful body part in a calming color to disengage feelings of vigilance and pain during exercise.

Use "the world's smallest violin" technique to ground during anxiety

To ground yourself during anxiety, you can use a technique called "the world's smallest violin" by rubbing your thumbnail over the fingerprint ridges of your index finger to force present-moment awareness.

Combine Paraxanthine and Tesofensine for enhanced mental energy

Stacking the caffeine-like molecule Paraxanthine with the peptide Tesofensine can produce a powerful mental energy effect similar to Modafinil without the long-lasting stimulation.

Embrace variation after establishing habits for holistic growth

After establishing a habit, the best routine is to not have a routine, as this variation builds physical, mental, and spiritual capacity.

Utilize helicopter speed music for enhanced focus

The app Brain.fm uses music with unnatural "helicopter speed" frequencies around 13 Hz to strongly entrain the brain into a state of focus, a rate not typically found in music.
