appreciate your comments! (not that we mind the above discourse) - but you are totally right that we are doing VERY different things from the intense breathwork (e.g. rebirthings, Gof, etc) you noted. A big reason we created Chorus was beca

I love that you are digging even deeper on the problem! We say it is to “reduce stress”, but that is because that’s a simplified catchall that many people can relate to. You are totally right that stress a symptom. The real underlying cause

That's totally fair. The music style in this early stage is geared at people who enjoy this kind of popular music. In the future we will be expanding to have different styles of music as well. But certainly, we aren't trying to re
