a database storing at least a plurality of songs that meet a set of qualification criteria, the set of qualification criteria including: a major key and an absence of lyrics;

at least one processing device in data communication with the database; and

at least one computer readable storage device storing data instructions which, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the media server to: acquire a heart rate;

select a song from the plurality of songs, wherein the song has a first tempo and wherein the first tempo is based on the heart rate;

initiate playback of the song;

initiate playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency during the playback of the song; and

over a period of time during the playback of the song, change the binaural beat to a second frequency.

17. The media server of claim 16, wherein the instructions further cause the media server to: (1) (5)
