Have you been to a sound bath or crystal bowl sound healing? It’s sheer bliss and fabulous self-care! That’s what I’m talking about in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast.
Dive into the captivating world of sound healing with my guest, Catherine Barrett, known for her unique sound healing practices. Catherine shares her journey into meditation and the relaxing vibrations she brings to her clients through sound.
Discovering A Healing Path
Catherine’s story begins in 2011 when she found herself grappling with personal challenges, including a difficult divorce. Struggling with insomnia and stress, she stumbled upon Deepak Chopra’s 21-day meditation challenge. This sparked a powerful shift for her.
To help clients have a deeper experience, Catherine began incorporating Tibetan bowls into her meditation sessions. She was very encouraged by the positive responses which was the start of her sound healing.
The Science Behind the Sound
Catherine talked about how sound waves work their magic by literally washing over and through the body. This is due to the body’s high water content – about 70%! Sound waves stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and ultimately relaxing the entire body.
The sound vibrates through the body, offering what Catherine describes as a gentle massage for the lymphatic system. Beyond relaxation, sound also induces a state where creativity and clarity can flourish. Eventhough sessions are relaxing, her corporate sessions have also helped people find unexpected solutions to work problems.
Sound to Calm the Mind
Sound frequencies can slow brainwaves from the hectic beta state to a meditative alpha or even theta state. This transition calms the mind resulting in an mental and emotional unclogging. This can help people reconnect with their true self.
The soothing sounds produce emotional releases in clients, who find themselves laughing, crying, or simply relieved of tension. This non-intrusive method for aligning body energy and releasing emotional blockages, makes it a simple and easy path for healing.
Discover Healing with Essential Oils
Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
Catherine’s toolkit is a harmonious blend of amazing instruments. From crystal bowls tuned to the chakras to the tinkling sounds of the koshi chimes, these instruments resonate with almost everyone. To me they sound like fairies!
Her sessions incorporate a variety of instruments to maintain the meditative engagement. Relaxing and yet listening, the sound guides participants through a remarkable auditory adventure.
Instruments like the ocean drum or rain stick are a great way to wrap up a session. These sounds are grounding and complete a sound bath by recentering and helping participants come back to the body.
The Remarkable Soul Intellifence Method of Healing
Sound as a Healing Tool
Catherine’s dedication to sound as a healing method has created remarkable shifts among her clients. They have experienced releasing muscle tension, emotional epiphanies, or a renewed sense of self. Sound healing has a versatile range of benefits.
Catherine encourages listeners to seek out crystal bowl sound healing experiences locally. Often affordable, these sessions promise an unconventional, yet remarkably relaxing journey into self-care. Sound healing can be an unexpected ally in your journey towards inner peace.
With society having a growing appreciation for sound’s role in wellbeing, Catherine’s approach highlights the benefits and accessibility. She invites everyone to indulge in this ancient, yet cutting-edge form of meditative therapy. There’s little out there as soothing and relaxing as crystal bowl sound healing.
