Welcome to the whole view. I'm Stacy Toth of Real Everything. I'm here each week to dive deeper into how we can fight

happiness and health inside and out through self-love, body positivity, and discovering new ways to be our best selves.

This week we have a bonus show and I'm excited to introduce you to Murray Hittery

who is a multidisciplinary artist with global recognition as a musician, ever pushing the boundaries and guided by a strong desire to help people find their purpose.

Marie is now focused on his musical experience, mind travel,

turning it across the globe. And spoiler alert, you're going to get a little

experience later on in the show. Mind travel brings together Marie's questions, contemporary classical music,

visual art, theoretical physics, and wisdom tradition like meditation. At its core, mind travel creates the space and permission to feel, connect, and explore.

And I love a little bit from your website, Marie, you talk about how music can radically improve our clarity, our ability to

reflect and relax, and that music can be a teacher.

And one of the things that I'm really like to focus on in the show is coming from a science mindset.

And so, listen, as I do just want to remind you that while sometimes things like meditation can feel a little

woo it is incredibly backed by science as beneficial for our health and wellness the

more we can relax the better our health is overall and so I will put a couple of links in the show notes for you specific to

Music as being a beneficial way to relax, shown in multitude of studies to reduce cortisol and help our heart

rate and all of those kinds of things.

If the intention is to relax, obviously if you're going to the club and dancing,

you're going to have a different kind of reaction to that music.

But Murray, I'm excited that you're here today

to talk a little bit about this and to also share your work and

your experiences. Can you tell listeners a little bit about yourself and maybe I

always like to ask something personal, something fun that we wouldn't necessarily know about you.
