In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Murray Hidary about MindTravel and taking music beyond entertainment. Buckle up, because today we not only talk to Murray about music for meditation and healing, but we actually get to have a live MindTravel experience here. Understanding more about neuroplasticity in order to prevent and deal with stress is key in the MindTravel philosophy. Murray shares how he found meditation, his connection to music and how the combination ripples into all areas of a healthy lifestyle. Stay tuned to learn more about our MindTravel and find a place to relax and come traveling with us!

Through music, the language of emotion, MindTravel creator and composer Murray Hidary seeks to open the heart to healing and transformation with his evocative, live-piano compositions. Recently, the music of MindTravel has also served to bring awareness and a call to action on issues like social justice and climate change. Hidary has brought MindTravel to iconic theaters and spectacular outdoor venues in over 100 cities the world over. From the deserts of the Middle East to the first-ever piano concert on the continent of Antarctica, Murray seeks to bridge gaps in understanding through the universal language of music. Murray is also an entrepreneur and tech pioneer and in the early days of the Internet co-founded and built companies including EarthWeb, Dice Inc, Vista Research and eBillity. Today, he is focused on the human experience and, through MindTravel, helps people better connect with themselves and one another.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Ellie Laks about lessons you can learn from a cow (and chicken) and Cow Hug Therapy. It was amazing to hear that cows partake in many self-care rituals. We found it so interesting to hear about the connection she had with animals from a young age. That led us into exploring the intuition children have and how that changes into adulthood. We explored the state of the world’s ecosystem and what we can do to make this world healthier for future generations.

Ellie Laks is the Founder of The Gentle Barn Foundation, a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals and heals people with the same stories of abuse and neglect. She is a powerful speaker, celebrated animal welfare advocate, humane educator, animal communicator, and the author of “My Gentle Barn: Creating a sanctuary where animals heal and children learn to hope” and has her new book coming out soon, Cow Hug Therapy. Ellie founded The Gentle Barn in 1999. She invented her own “Gentle Healing” method that allows old, sick, injured, and terrified animals to fully recover. Ellie is the creator of cow hug therapy and has hosted hundreds of thousands of people who have come to The Gentle Barn seeking hope.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Steve Carver all about the bounce lifestyle. We bought our kids a mini trampoline when we went into lockdown a few years ago to keep them active, but little did we know how beneficial they are for the body and that we should have been bouncing on them ourselves. If running or jumping is too hard on your joints or you just want to be overall healthy, you have got to listen to this show. It’s so interesting to hear all the ways people are bouncing into better health.

Steve Carver, with over 30 years of experience as a personal trainer and a profound passion for fitness, especially trampoline fitness.
