At Earth Resonance we believe in medicine from the Earth, not a lab. We are highly selective in what we add to our product line. Besides our famous Natural Psilocybe we have developed a new product called Harmony to support a balanced mood and promote a positive life. The balance of mind, body, and spirit enables you to feel content and at peace with yourself and those around you. Microdosing psilocybin taken for therapeutic purposes can give many benefits. However, the integration phase that follows is crucial for maximizing the benefits of microdosing. To support your integration Cycle, Harmony helps to find balance in your life While there are various methods to promote harmony, the use of supplements can be helpful. The Harmony supplement can be a valuable addition to the integration cycle or when you feel you need to to take care of your emotional well being. Here are five ways in which it can help promote harmony. 1. Reduce Stress LevelsRhodiola rosea has been shown to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates the body's response to stress, thereby reducing symptoms of stress, such as fatigue and exhaustion.(1) 2. Improve Cognitive FunctionAshwagandha's bioactive compounds, such as withanolides, have been shown to have neuroprotective effects and enhance brain function. (2) A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study found that Ashwagandha supplementation significantly improved cognitive function, attention, and information processing speed in healthy individuals. (3) 3. Promote relaxation5-HTP, a precursor to serotonin found in Griffonia Seed, has been shown to promote relaxation and regulate mood. (4) In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 5-HTP supplementation led to a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms. (5) 4. Enhance Sleep QualityAshwagandha's ability to modulate GABA receptors, involved in sleep regulation, is responsible for its sleep-enhancing effects. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that Ashwagandha supplementation improved sleep quality and reduced sleep latency in individuals with insomnia. (6) 5. Boost Energy LevelsRhodiola rosea's ability to increase ATP production in the body, which is the energy currency of cells, is responsible for its energy-boosting effects. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that Rhodiola rosea supplementation significantly improved physical performance and reduced fatigue in individuals with fatigue-related disorders.

The exact cause of CFS is not known, but it is thought to be related to a dysfunction of the immune system. If you're looking for a natural way to reduce fatigue, Turkey tail mushroom may be the answer. 1. Improved energy metabolismTurkey tail has been found to have compounds that support energy metabolism. Studies have shown that Turkey tail can help to improve the mitochondria function, which is responsible for producing energy in the cells. This can help to reduce fatigue and improve overall energy levels. 2. Immune System SupportTurkey tail mushroom is rich in compounds such as beta-glucans, polysaccharides and proteoglycans which have been found to stimulate the production of white blood cells and help to boost the immune system. 3. Anti-inflammatory propertiesTurkey tail has antioxidant properties that can help to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is thought to play a role in the development of CFS, and reducing inflammation can help to reduce the symptoms of CFS. 4. Stress response improvementTurkey tail is also rich in beta-glucans, which can help to improve the body's response to stress. By improving the body's response to stress, turkey tail may help to reduce the symptoms of CFS, such as fatigue and weakness. 5. Protect mitochondria Ergothioneine is an antioxidant that is found in high concentrations in Turkey tail, and it has been found to protect the mitochondria from damage. It acts as a scavenger of free radicals, which can cause damage to the mitochondria, and it has been found to have a protective effect on the mitochondria by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ergothioneine also helps to maintain the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane and can improve the function of the mitochondria, leading to better energy production and reducing fatigue.

Learn moreInterview with CEO Earth Resonance Natasha de Jong
One of the possible benefits you mention on your website is spiritual awakening. Could you expand on that – what can psilocybin do to help people develop a spiritual connection? Psilocybin has shown to induce spiritual experiences and has been used in shamanic healing practices, initiation circles in ancient Greece to ascent and ceremonial rituals by the Aztecs already centuries ago to connect with the divine. How would we define spiritual awakening in the 21st century? The question is what are we waking up from? The illusion that we are separated from eachother and from nature, the illusion that we are competing against eachother and seeing merely with our eyes. This paradigm what we have been taught of random evolution of humanity or god’s force outside of ourselves, starts to become a path of curiosity, of discovery. This path to spiritual awakening is different for everyone, it is a journey. But often starts with the feeling of purpose, the feeling of being born with intent, that we are all connected to eachother, being of service for one another. We are pure conscious creations and have the god force within us. You will notice this connection when you go into nature and appreciate the beauty of how it grows, without us interfering, this force of energy is in us and is all around us, is flowing abundantly. Psilocybin helps to become aware of this and helps to connect you to this feeling. During your microdosing cycle we also recommend to start a meditation practice that calms the mind and fills the soul with the flowing abundance of source energy. A meditation exercise that can be helpful is connecting your energy to the dark void in space, where there is no time, no space and no ‘me’, you start to swiftly lose your identity, which is constructed by the ego. From this space you can create consciously. That opens the gates to spirituality, becoming one, in unity. One of the most deliberate ways to put it is ‘ I am that, I am’, all that is surrounding me. Amen. What about the possible benefits for professional life? Microdosing is famously popular among people in Silicon Valley – how can it help us at work? Do you often feel stuck at work, suffering from procrastination or unable to perform under pressure? Psilocybin has been shown to reduce the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex which is connected to the entire function of the brain, the CEO of the brain and is even responsible the identity of self. By this reduction of blood flow, other parts of the brain have to ability to connect in new ways, which creates new neural pathways. This helps to support neural plasticity, also called neurogenesis. This shows to support new ways of thinking, new insights and perspectives. Problem-solution becomes a less rigid way of thinking and helps you to enter a flow state of creative thinking, no worries about the future, but finding possibilities and opportunities. Especially it helps in the construction of new levels of self-awareness. How? Scientists are still finding out. But we believe that even small amounts can give you this simple benefit which is a harmonious state in the brain, that creates an open heart to create. What can be the possible negative effects of microdosing? I saw one review on your site mentioning some increased anxiety from one customer. Negative effects can occur when the expectations don’t meet the perceived experience. That is why the preparation is always very important. In our Ebook we have an intention setting exercise which helps our clients to write down which areas in their life needs focused attention and helps them to start with the right intentions, becoming aware of the blockages that might be there as well. Once you become aware of them, it becomes easy to resolve it with care and love. Also we educate our clients of the process. The first two weeks can be really tough and emotional. But when entering the third and fourth week, the recalibration phase begins, which is where the body and mind starts to become balanced. If our clients experience anxiety or a fear response this means that there is often unresolved trauma that’s trying to find it’s way out of the body, old coping mechanisms to protect you from pain and often is a fight, flight, freeze or fawn response. The microdosing cycle helps you to become aware of the pattern. This happens mostly when you become triggered by something someone said or even your own thoughts can cause this fear response. If you have experienced anxiety in your passed, we recommend to start the microdosing cycle with one of our coaches, specialized in trauma, plant medicine and behavior therapy. They can help heal and help you with the right toolbox to relieve these excessive emotions from your system. What kind of support do you give people who have that kind of negative reaction? Education, preparation, integration and evaluation, is what we are aiming for. That is why our customer care team is well trained to recommend and give tips and tricks when our clients experience a negative reaction. We do not often hear complaints, but when we do these complaints occur when the client was not prepared or did not follow our Protocol. We are currently working on our online platform, an e-learning community where it becomes much easier to follow our course and prepare for the cycle. What role do you hope that substances such as psilocybin can play in the future of society? We are currently developing different kind of protocols to help people overcome addiction, past trauma and mental health issues.

Learn moreHow to upgrade your brain with Psilocybin
The Upgrade Changing your life requires a new way of thinking, a new state of mind. This is not a quick fix, but a commitment which starts with acknowledging that your life is not going the way you want, stuck in the past or fearful for the future, you need redirection. How are we able to make a change and transform our lives? This starts with the way we think, the way we feel and the way we act as a consequence. Our brains develop in different stages. When we are a baby in the belly till our 7th year as a child we develop our subconscious mind, the area that makes you breathe, manage your body and emotions, your beliefs, your automatic responses (fight and flight), your habits your heartrate and the ability to listen to your feelings. This represents 95% of our brain activity and is running our programmed way of thinking. How does this develop? A child is born with a standard set of instinctual behavior, but in the age of 0-8 the child is in a state of constant hypnosis (vibrational frequency: theta brain waves), a state of imagination and develops a library of identifications and associations. This is programmed by our parents, culture, people, environment. These identifications and associations lead is linked to emotions and become a downloaded program which runs automatically. This is how the subconscious mind is formed and becomes an automatic program. Why is this important? The conscious mind which only represents 5% of our brain activity and is where you reason, make decisions and where your willpower is stored. The subconscious mind gives the direction, is always in a state of awareness, love and wants to memorize every event, the conscious mind follows and is not able to access the subconscious directly. This is how our reality is being shaped. By changing our subconscious beliefs we are able to change our reality. This is not as easy as we think, why? The older we get the more we run our automatic program which is saved on our subconscious brain, which is developed when we are 0-4, finished with saving till we are 7, fired and wired when we are 26 and completed when we are 36. After we turn 36 it becomes more difficult to create a chance, create new habits or break limited beliefs. Although we are completely programmed as a consequence of our environment and the way we process information, the brain has the ability to adapt and evolve. This is called neuroplasticity. The brain is very flexible as long as you train it with new information. But if we do not think new thoughts every day we stay stuck in our neural pathway. We have appr. 86.000 thoughts every day, which we replicate the next day. 98% chance of thinking the same things over and over again everyday. Which means there is 2% left for a new program, for a new way thinking, which will lead to a new set of emotions and actions. With that in mind, we have to hack the system for a quicker upgrade, because it takes a long time if we are only changing 2% every day. This is not as simple as just thinking a new thought, it is how it is installed. Positive thinking is not enough, it's about a new state of being. This does not happen in our conscious brain but happens in our subconscious brain. Recalling and repeating information keeps this information also installed and becomes a memory, this happens even quicker when there is a specific emotion involved. That is how you create a very sharp memory about something, someone or a specific event. The way we memorized does not go back to the event itself. How the brain is saving this memory is by repeating the memory the first, second, third, fourth time you remember it. We are not reliving the memory, but we are recalling the memory the last time we remembered it. So every time we go over a specific memory we are installing it deeper and deeper. If trauma is released, this means that the recalling of the memory is not bringing back the same emotion, but is reinstalled with a new emotional blueprint. Now how do we do that? By accessing our subconscious brain, installing a new way of thinking and creating an emotion that is giving you the feeling of love, joy or gratitude. Why? This is how you make a new memory, teaching the brain that the love of the feeling is attached to the words or image you are visualizing. This is how we can make new associations, identifications and upgrade the system. With microdosing psilocybin we are able to access a new state of the brain, which then are able to create new neural pathways. Thinking new thoughts becomes much quicker. There is more space. It opens your brain and in this way you can create change, change the way you think, creates changes in the way you feel much quicker. How to create change throughout the day: How to access your subconscious brain? Only when we are in a relaxed state. In between the subconscious and conscious is the analytical brain, our filter which protects us. This is where the input filters what goes into the subconscious and what not. If we bypass the analytical brain, we are able to access the subconscious brain directly and can become aware of our program of limited beliefs and blockages which we unconsciously run, which protects us, but can also sabotage us. That is why sometimes some situations in your life keep occurring over and over again. This happens during your microdosing cycle very easily. The gateway to your subconscious brain happens the first thing in the morning 15 minutes after you wake up and right before you fall asleep. This is the window of change. Start asking ‘auto inquisition questions’, or ‘lofty questions’, empowering questions. Become aware of how often you use the word ‘not’ or ‘don’t’ and try to avoid it, this does not exist in the language of the subconscious. Try to smile without a specific reason, this signals to the brain that it is happy and turns it into a relaxed state automatically during the day. Relaxing the body is where your new creation begins with. When our body is in a state of stress, the field of energyaround your body is constrained, we are in a high beta brainwave state, we are in a state of survival. In this way we only think about one thing: ME. Chemically this is called (nor) adrenaline and in biology it’s called ‘fight or flight mechanism’ in neuroscience it is called ‘high beta brainwaves’. This is what most people experience when they drink their first cup of coffee in the morning. What is important to know is that in a state of survival we react based on stress, external reflections will be perceived as a threat. Everyone around you can be a potential enemy and the ‘I’ needs to survive. This drives us into a behavior of egocentrism, greed and low levels of awareness, purpose and perception of constant desire, never feeling satisfied. This creates a loop of continuous chasing, whether this is money, sex, food or even feelings of low self-esteem and negativity, victimizing your life or blaming others from your pain. This can become an addiction and the brain is constantly looking for the same feedback. That is why in this state – high beta brainwaves - we can never create change. So the first step is relaxing the brain and the body, accessing a wave, a frequency called coherence between the brain and the heart. If these signal the same waves, they can create a rapid change in your energy field, sensing, experiencing and feeling a more coherent atmosphere around you, not feeling scared, depressed or mood related instability. Thank your body, put your hand on your heart and breath in, now when breathing out feel the release of tension In the body and release all thought. Most of the time, you will smile after doing this. This only takes 20 seconds of your time and sets you up for a total different way of response. The brain cannot make a distinction of what happened in the past or what you are visualizing. This is how you can trick your brain into thinking somethinghas already happened. By practicing mental visioning or meditation you are able to create new neural pathways which help you to create exactly what you would like to experience. Belief is one of the most powerful functions of the brain. If there is no thought standing in the way of you and your faith, you are already there. That is why believing in yourself is the first step of aligning to your intention. If you notice there are some thoughts that pop up which do not serve your manifestation, write them down and feel what could have created this specific thought, what can happen and release it with an emotion of love. Learning how to communicate with our subconscious brain is key into creating a new life. The Reticular Activation System, a bundle of nerves in the brainstem helps us to filter information and helps us focus. The RAS is the system which helps you to find reflections in your reality.RAS connects the subconscious part of our brain with the conscious part of our brain. It is all about the way we communicate. If we consciously look for things in our reality, RAS filters and seeks information in your environment and will consciously give you the same reflection of your belief. That is why belief is so important, words like I hope this.. or I will.. and I don’t like.. are not the language of RAS or your subconscious. It leaves room for doubt and the RAS is not able to reflect back what you are looking for. Searching for things in our reality, like ‘I have the. ‘ ‘I am’ and ‘I thank…’ feeling that you are already experiencing it. This takes away the doubt and it activates the RAS. It helps you to start filtering out those pieces that can help you with that intention and so the conscious mind brings that into your subconscious mind. But even better is to turn this around. Start to implement a new way thinking by accessing the subconscious brain directly, right thing in the morning or before you fall asleep. Your next day will be filled with exactly that what you feed it. Resonate with love and make your day amazing! Microdose and upgrade your brain
