FAQs

  • Ascound stands for Ascend with Sound. Sound rises. Leverage its power to levitate to higher frequencies and ascend your state of being.

  • ASCOUND was founded by Brandon Rohling and Monika Barnett, as a perfect union of each of their unique skills and experience. Learn more about our founders HERE.

  • ASCOUND audio products are structured like a game, with different levels of progressive audio. ASCOUND is based on the concept of human life as a game. We’re here to learn, grow, and play! The soul’s lessons are real, but there’s no need to take it all so seriously.

    “Doing the work” has gained mainstream popularity, but it’s also easy to become stuck in the struggle—with no idea how to move past it. There is a place of bliss, vibrancy, and flow available to us beyond “the work.” ASCOUND Audio was created to practice feeling what it’s like to live in that place.

    It’s time to make the process as energetic as listening to your favorite song and as fun as a game. It’s from this energy that you become more comfortable living at a higher frequency than living in the struggle. When we began to perceive our personal ascension journeys this way, that’s when the long-awaited shift occurred.

  • There are three levels to the ASCOUND game, each corresponding to a chakra level.

    LEVEL I SYNC - Heart Chakra

    LEVEL II EXPRESS - Throat Chakra

    LEVEL III UNITE - Third Eye Chakra

    This is simply a framework to help guide you.

  • ASCOUND does not require you to begin at LEVEL I.

    You are free to purchase audio tracks from any level. Start at the level that calls to you most now.

Circadian Audio FAQs

  • A Circadian Audio is a 5-minute audio recording specially designed to listen to during certain times of the day, in alignment with the natural circadian rhythm.

    Consider it a hybrid audio—part meditation, part affirmation, part song. All good vibrations.

    There are four Circadian Audios, each corresponding to a specific time of day—Sunrise, Noon, Sunset and Night. Each are spoken with a male or female voice, allowing you to select a voice that resonates with you closely.

    To experience optimal results, listen to your audio outside in nature (or even on your patio) near the designated time every day.

  • Circadian Audios are 5 minutes in length.

    Five minutes is all you need to feel into the energy of the moment, without drifting off or losing focus.

    If you listen to all four throughout the day, you’ve totaled 20 minutes of inner reflection and inspiration!

  • Taking time to tune into yourself consistently each day cultivates enhanced mindfulness, leading to growth in all areas of your life.

    When you listen outside in the fresh air, you’re also syncing your biological circadian rhythm, which has been shown to increase mood, focus, alertness, and improve sleep.

    Dr. Andrew Huberman details the benefits of syncing your circadian rhythm on The Huberman Lab podcast. Listen for more information on the scientific research behind syncing your circadian rhythm.

  • For best results, we recommend listening outside. No need to make an entire wildlife excursion out of it. Just get outside any way you can!

    Our favorite way to listen is while taking the dog for a quick walk around the block. You could also listen in your favorite spot on the patio.

    Even opening the blinds or window and gazing out is a “good enough” place to start. But hey, if you can’t make it outside for 5 minutes, maybe start by looking at what’s preventing you from doing that.

  • When you listen to all four audios, you accumulate 20 minutes of introspection throughout the course of a day. When repeated daily, that’s the formula to raising your frequency.

    You’ll notice the quickest results by listening to all four, but the secret to success is consistency.

    If you can only commit to 5 minutes once a day, start with that. Build the routine first. Let your enthusiasm fuel you to incorporate additional audios as you go.

Custom Audio FAQs

  • A Custom Audio is a personalized 5-minute audio recording, custom-designed with your voice as the guide!

    It gives you the freedom to incorporate your own message—quotes, mantras, affirmations, whatever you’re moving through right now.

    We enhance your raw audio recording and create a fully-produced audio experience unlike anything you’ve heard before. It’s most similar to a guided meditation, but we consider it a hybrid—part meditation, part affirmation, part song.

  • Yes! We recommend using your phone’s audio recording feature for a quick and easy recording experience.

    Hold your phone near your mouth at a distance as if you’re on speaker phone.

  • Try to keep your voice recording around 2-3 minutes in length.

    Our Music Producer has found that 2 minutes of audio recording flows the best. Two minutes allows for moments to feel into the words that were spoken in harmony with the energy of the music.

  • Custom Audios are 5 minutes in length.

    We find that 5 minutes is all you need to feel into the energy of the moment, without drifting off or losing focus.

  • This is your Custom Audio—the message should feel resonant with the lessons you’re being shown in life right now.

    If you don’t feel fully clear, we recommend the following exercise prior to recording:

    • Meditation to clear the mind (at least 5 minutes)

    • Stream-of-consciousness style journaling or speaking exercise.

    • Read through the journaling or listen back to the recording to distill the most prominent and clear messages.

    • Write the final messages in a note on your phone. Read from this note during your voice recording.

  • Once you purchase the Custom Audio, you'll receive a confirmation email with further instructions and tips on best practices for recording.

  • When recording your audio, please consider the following:

    Record in a quiet space. This not only helps minimize background noise, but also creates a container to feel comfortable and confident as you speak.

    Hold your phone near your mouth, or use headphones and speak into the speaker.

    Speak clearly. Keep it authentic and true to you. You’re the one listening to this, so you’ll want it to feel like YOU!
