Catherine Barrett began her meditation journey in 2011 and has been
committed to the practice ever since.
Seven years ago Catherine completed her teacher training in
mindfulness meditation and began sharing her knowledge with
students of all ages and levels of experience. She soon began
incorporating sound bowls into her meditation classes, which lead
her to study sound healing in NY, CT and VT.
Catherine offers private Sound Healing sessions, individual and group
Sound Baths. Catherine also works with fellow meditation teacher Diane
Nickelberg-Barnett at Grounded Meditation Studio in New Canaan.
Additionally, Catherine is a Reiki Master and holds certifications in
teaching Pranayama (breath work) and Tapping (Emotional Freedom
Technique). She has lived most of her life in Connecticut, receiving a
BS in Sociology from Sacred Heart University, she resides in New
Haven County and has a daughter in college.
Sound Baths are an immersive listening experience. A passive form of
meditation whereby the participants are able to focus their minds on
sound with very little effort.
The sounds of crystal and Himalayan bowls, various chimes, gongs,
drums and more create frequencies that enable the brain waves to
slow while inducing a deep therapeutic relaxed state of
consciousness.
The sound waves have been seen to not only cause a change in the
brainwaves but also to penetrate the body creating a relaxation
response as well as providing a slightly detoxifying effect.
The use of sound has been studied for its ability to activate the
parasympathetic nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve
which is connected to the eardrum.
Possible benefits of a Sound Bath include deep relaxation, better
sleep, improved focus and mental clarity, decreased blood pressure
and anxiety.
A Sound Bath is best enjoyed lying down with the eyes closed. A
brief guided meditation is provided at the beginning and end of the
Sound Bath.
