Good morning, everyone, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to this week's weekly energy boost.

My name is Elie Sheva, and I have the pleasure this morning of being joined by someone whose work I have admired, I think, since 2019

and the opportunity to do, to cover the topic of music as part of one spiritual journey.

When I saw that opportunity, I reached out to Murray and magically the universe conspired to make it happen in a pretty remarkable way.

So today I'm joined by Murray Hidoree, who is a musician and tech pioneer and just a generally amazing person with an amazing story and background. So I'll let him introduce

himself in a moment. But the real reason we're here with Murray today is because every week on

the weekly energy boost, we provide our listeners with the most powerful and practical tools

to navigate the coming seven days. We do that by pulling from teachings and tools from the wisdom of Kabbalah,

and inevitably those time-relevant, time-sensitive teachings end up being applicable any day of the week,

any week of the year. And there is a certain calling we have this week to listen to the universe. And we talk about that a lot on weekly

energy boost. It's not a new concept if you've been listening for any period of time. But there

is a specific attention put to the power of music and to the enhancement that music can provide to our prayers, to our

meditations, and to our overall well-being. And I had to jump on the opportunity to highlight

that this week, not to let another year pass by before we get that opportunity. And for that reason,

Murray is here with us. So first of all,

thank you, Marie, for joining us and making it work so seamlessly. Great to be here at each other.

Would you take a minute and let people know why it's so powerful to have you here today to talk

about this with me? Oh, well, thank you for that. You know, I'm always exploring. I'm always looking to kind of open an inquiry deeper into the nature of the universe, into

the nature of the human condition, our own consciousness, and how that relates to a larger

notion of consciousness.

And for me, as a pianist, as an artist, as a musician, I do that through music.

And that's the language that I conduct that inquiry in that conversation. And so that's, I think, what we'll be talking about today.
