Welcome to Couch Time with Cat, your safe place for real conversation and a gentle check-in. Kwvh presents Couch Time with Cat. Hi, I'm Cat, trauma therapist, coach, tedx speaker, best-selling author and your host here on Couch Time with Cat. I've spent over a decade walking alongside people through the real, raw and sacred work of becoming whole again through the real, raw and sacred work of becoming whole again. Catch Time with Cat.
Speaker 1:Mental Wellness with a Friendly Voice is where we have conversations that are equal parts science and soul. This is where we get honest about anxiety, grief, burnout, relationships and the brave everyday work of healing. You don't have to have it all figured out to belong here. Whether you're tuning in right from here in the hill country or listening across the world, I want you to feel seen, supported and reminded that you're not alone. So find your cozy spot, take a deep breath and let's talk about what it means to be human together. Today's conversation is with someone who has built her life around helping people find peace in a world that doesn't slow down.
Speaker 1:Jessica Cherry is a certified sound bath practitioner, a sound alchemist and licensed neuro-linguistic programming coach. She's the founder of Lone Star Sound Baths, where she guides people into deep states of relaxation, emotional release and inner clarity through immersive vibrational sound experiences. Her work blends ancient healing instruments with modern mind-body tools and help people recalibrate not just physically but mentally and spiritually. Her journey into this work wasn't born from a textbook. It started in the middle of her own struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. What began as a personal search for relief became a calling to create spaces where others could experience the same sense of calm and renewal she found. Today, jessica is here to share how sound can be medicine, how language shapes our inner reality and how combining the two can help us shift patterns, regulate our nervous system and connect more deeply with ourselves. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed or just craving a moment to exhale, jessica's story and tools will give you new ways to listen not only to sound but to the messages your own body and mind are sending you. Welcome.
Speaker 2:Jessica, Thank you so much for having me. Cat, Hi friend hey.
Speaker 1:Listener. You guys have to know that Jessica and I know each other. We've known each other for a little bit now and she is just. She is such a bright light.
Speaker 2:Aw yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1:You're just. I'm so glad we met Me too, yeah.
Speaker 2:Me too.
Speaker 1:And something that we have in common is that we're both from the RGB 956. Shout out to the 956. So, jessica, what originally drew you to sound baths?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, that is the loaded question, right? So it was actually a friend. A friend of mine practices Kundalini yoga and I was going through a really tough time in my life. I had just lost my stepdad and grandfather and I was the power of attorney for both and I was the only one, and at that time everybody kind of looked away and was just pushing me into all the loaded questions that you get when you deal with something like that, and I am always and have always been the one that holds it together. But I was cracking rightfully right.
Speaker 2:That's a big responsibility and I was developing panic attacks, I was getting really sick and a friend of mine reached out to me and said you really need help. And I didn't. I knew I did, but there's a point where you're just you know you need help, but the phone calls are still coming in dealing with everything because, like I said, we're from the 956, I was dealing with it here and my family was down there and so I went with her to a sound bath and it was. I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 2:I thought sound bath, I thought I was going to go into like some mini orchestra or something I didn't know anything and I'm glad I went with an open mind, because I laid down and I was supposed to close my eyes but I didn't, and this woman was putting me into a state that I had not given myself the opportunity to do, and she was using all these meditative instruments and I didn't even close my eyes, even though she said your eyes. I was just put into a different world that I just hadn't experienced, because I my nervous system was shot and it was a I believe it was a 45 minute sound bath and when I got out and after the sound bath I physically felt a weight off my shoulders.
Speaker 1:That sounds, so I really want one right now.
Speaker 2:Yes, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders and I remember walking from the room to my car with my friend and I looked at her and I said I want more. When are we going to go again? And she just looked at me. She's like so you liked it? I was like yes, I like it, I want more. And so she has a busy schedule and I have a busy schedule and we weren't able to get that time together and I went on a couple on my own and then I thought I want to buy these instruments and so I went full deep in the you know, the deep end of the pool and I bought a whole entire set, not knowing what to do with it, but I just wanted it in my possession. That's not a small expense, no.
Speaker 1:Those are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're pricey. And my husband was like you're crazy, but that's fine. We've been together 15 years, it's fine. He knows that I do these kinds of things. So I bought the whole entire set. I didn't know what to do and I was like, okay, well, I have the set. I need to learn how long ago was this.
Speaker 2:That was almost three years ago. And so I found a company that well, a school. And so I found a company that was a school and I went and I said I got the, I got the instruments or I got the bowls. I started with the bowls and I enrolled and I became certified and I was just trying to heal myself and at that time I knew that sound baths were giving me an outlet of a space and a time where I could let go.
Speaker 1:So it sounds like the impact it had on your mental wellness was. It gave you a big sense of relief.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And did it decrease your anxiety? Did it decrease? What did it help remove? How did the relief show in your life?
Speaker 2:So the immediate change was the after right. So taking the time for myself and going down this journey of listening to these sounds it's played in a meditative state gave me the opportunity to relax my mind and to leave my phone on silent and to experience something that you don't really, or I didn't really, get to experience on the daily right. Who goes to sound baths every single day? I don't even do that and I have all the instruments now, but it gave me a space to relax, to unwind, to let my mind kind of drift. That gave me a space to heal.
Speaker 1:You were saying that they had an impact on your overall healing. So attending these sound baths, and then you decided I'm going to go all in.
Speaker 2:Yes, in true Jessica style, in true Jessica.
Speaker 1:Cherry fashion.
Speaker 2:Yes, I dove in the deep end, bought the sound bowls a whole octave, so I bought eight bowls. I didn't do one bowl, I went all in, got eight bowls, didn't know what I was doing, found a school and dove right in.
Speaker 1:It sounds like something inside of you was like go toward this.
Speaker 2:Totally, totally, 100%. Because I found a moment where I wasn't going crazy. I found help and a time in my life where I really needed it and I didn't have anywhere else to turn. And it seemed so simple attend a sound bath, right, and I didn't know what I was really truly attending, but it was so peaceful and it gave my mind a chance to turn off and I was instantly hooked.
Speaker 1:I would love to go to one of your sound baths.
Speaker 2:I know I have a ton of instruments. I have a rabbit hole of instruments now.
Speaker 1:I've been to one or two and I just leave so relaxed. It's really a hard. It's hard to describe how relaxed somebody can feel.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've been to others and, of course, I've facilitated my own, and the best way I can describe my feeling is I feel lighter. I feel like my mind had a chance to reset. I feel like there was a lot of commotion and there has been a lot of commotion in my mind dealing with things and just after that you know the death and family and all that, just life and it's good to kind of pause, reset your brain and your body.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then continue on and for me it was that why not just go to sound baths? Why? I just keep going. Why did you decide to become a certified sound bath practitioner?
Speaker 2:Because I wanted the power.
Speaker 1:I love that. That kind of gave me goosebumps. Tell me more about that.
Speaker 2:So I wanted the power to be able to do that for myself, but also to give it to other people myself, but also to give it to other people. I wanted that. I wanted to say I found something. I have a network. Let's do this. I know you've been burned out or you've been stressed out or crazy, or you feel like life is just too much, because it can be, and I know what to do. I can give this to you, what we can share space and time together, and I can make you feel the way I felt.
Speaker 1:And that's why I bought the bowls.
Speaker 2:And now I have a whole bunch more than just bowls.
Speaker 1:But what else? What else? What's a rabbit hole of instruments? What does that mean?
Speaker 2:So the rabbit hole was once you are involved in community where there's other sound bath practitioners. You see their instruments, you hear it, and I come from a musical background, so my do yes.
Speaker 1:What is it?
Speaker 2:well, I'm a ex-band nerd back in the day and then I'm married. Yeah, wait, what did you play in band I?
Speaker 1:played the flute. Oh, I played snare drum oh, you did.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:I played snare drum and then I was drum major. Oh my god, I also wanted the power I was.
Speaker 2:I was the flag girl, like the color guard. Yes, the color guard. I missed that word, but yeah, I was the color guard with the, with the whole flags, and my husband is an ex-band director no, that's, amazing, yes, so so behind and he went to school for music and all that so behind the scenes of Lone Star Soundbass. I'm married to a ex-band director and it's all coming together yes.
Speaker 2:So when I bought the gong, he was like, oh, I'm gonna show you how to play God. I'm like, back off, this is my instrument, thank you. Or when I was doing, when I was learning the, the bowls, it was more from a spiritual standpoint of you know, going to school for that and what, what bowls heal what chakra. And he was like no, this is an octave scale that you don't want to play a, b and a c together. So I marry both of those sides to make sure that, yes, I'm healing you, I'm giving you what you need, but also it's melodic and there's less dissonance and I'm not going to play two bowls or two instruments that clash. You know, like when you get on the piano and let's say like there's a five-year-old kid and they just go conk and it's horrible, right, it'll give you a headache if you're there for an hour. So I make sure that with me it's a melodic standpoint and it sounds beautiful.
Speaker 1:So it sounds like a lot of harmony.
Speaker 2:Yes, and that's what I've been to sound baths before, where I do leave with a headache and I'm like I don't want that. I don't want to give people headaches, that's not what they're there for.
Speaker 1:So I make sure that on my end it's, it's melodic, it's peaceful, it sounds good because it is a sound bath right, and it sounds like you had that musicality living inside of you and you already had maybe a touch point for what good sound can do yeah.
Speaker 2:So like I have a clarinet at home, we have flutes at home, we have um well like a steel tongue drum at home, we have a trumpet at home, we have all these band instruments, we have guitars, so we are a home that plays music just for fun. And so when I did this sound bath business, you know everybody's looking at me like how do you do sound baths? You're over here with business, but they don't know that side of me.
Speaker 1:It's a natural evolution for you.
Speaker 2:Yes, and it's something that a lot of people don't know.
Speaker 1:No, you become a certified practitioner and then you create Lone Star Soundbaths.
Speaker 2:Yes, this was after playing for my husband, who was critiquing me on a musical standpoint, playing for my mentor, playing for close friends and playing for myself. And then they were like why don't you take this on the road, so to speak? Right, why don't you do this? And so I thought you know what? Yeah, I'll do it, why not?
Speaker 1:And so I created it, yep.
Speaker 2:How has it evolved over time? How has the business evolved over time? Well, for me personally, I'm not afraid to play in front of people where before I was afraid and I playing right now. I play in kyle and I play in austin. Um, sometimes I play in wimberley and I also do private sound baths. That's where it has evolved, as I wasn't offering private sound baths.
Speaker 1:Now I do offer private sound baths who would buy a private sound bath or contract you like, who would be interested in that?
Speaker 2:Anybody who needs space, just the way I needed space. They're stressed out, they want to lay down and relax and take a break for themselves and find peace through music, because music in itself is really strong. I mean, you can go to a Metallica concert, for, let's say, for example, metallica. You're going to feel pumped up, are you? You are, or you have a headache, I don't know, it depends. Or if you have any other you go to, like the Wimberley live music, you want to feel festive, right, you'll do that Same thing with this area, this meditative music this sound, it'll put you in a state that you want.
Speaker 1:So yeah, it's when you do private sound baths. Is it for one person at a time? A group of friends at a time? It could be both.
Speaker 2:It could be both Okay.
Speaker 1:That feels like so many possibilities.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:That's great. So let's say, a new person is walk them through. So they're thinking about going to sound bath. Walk them through. What happens? I mean bath. Do you take off your clothes? What's happening? Is there water involved? What's happening? You park in a parking lot, and then what? Park in a parking lot.
Speaker 2:You will take out your yoga mat or blanket and or if you can't lay down, you let them know beforehand and you'll get a comfortable spot. So the goal is to root yourself for the time together. So you most people bring a yoga mat. They lay down. If they want to bring eyewear. Some people, you know, some people like to close their eyes or they don't want their eyes closed. It's all depends. But you find your comfortable spot. I will guide you through a kind of quick meditation just to root you, to center you, to ground you, to take that last little wiggle around and settle into the space for our time together. And then I will start playing instruments and so I will use a. Usually in the beginning it is the set of eight bowls and I tibetan bowls. So I have quartz bowls, I have tibetan bowls beautiful I have two harps wow I have the gong I have chimes.
Speaker 1:I feel like you need a roadie to help you unpack and pack it all I'm, but it hasn't always been that way.
Speaker 2:It's a learning process. But yeah, I love the harps. So there's a crystal harp and then there's like a reverie harp, which is one that lays on my lap, and then I play it. I also have a Native American flute. I love Native American flutes. I have a lot of instruments.
Speaker 1:So somebody walks in, they lay down, yes, they lay down, they get rooted.
Speaker 2:They get rooted, they get a guided meditation.
Speaker 1:And they're starting to listen to the quartz bowls or the Tibetan bowls. Yes, At this point. How long does the sound bath last?
Speaker 2:It'll usually last about 50 minutes for the actual sound, and about five minutes before and five minutes after will be a guided meditation, one to put you in the state and one to slowly take you out of the state.
Speaker 1:Do you ever notice that people or yourself? I guess if you've experienced this, you're restless. You're like maybe 10 minutes in and you're still thinking of I got to get the grocery, my foot itches, why is? That person breathing hard next to me.
Speaker 2:And some people fall asleep.
Speaker 1:Oh, they do. Yes, does that defeat the purpose or do you still get the benefit If that?
Speaker 2:is what your body needs, then I say just go for it. Unless you are snoring and you are disrupting the person next to you, then in my group sound baths I do say it's okay to wake up the person next to you just because snoring loud does create disruption yeah it happens yeah, I bet other bodily things happen too. They do. I don't hear it you just smell it.
Speaker 1:So do you ever so do you see people restless and not wanting to get into? Not, maybe not wanting to, but having trouble really transitioning to that more relaxed state wanting to, but having trouble really transitioning to that more relaxed state.
Speaker 2:Yes, I absolutely do, but I have learned to let them be how they want to be. In that time, for example, I had a woman who didn't lay down. She wanted to sit, and so I mean, this was in a group session, so there was about 40 other people there, so I don't stop, I play. And at the end of the session she comes up to me and she thanks me for the session. She said it was beautiful and she said I had my eyes closed. I was just listening to the sounds and I had a vision of my dog that had passed and it was so beautiful I needed that, thank you. And so I learned then that however they come and however they are is how they need to be. It's not my business how they want to receive it. I will say you know, the best part is lay down or find a comfortable spot. If you don't want to lay down, that's fine. But I kind of learned to let the people be and let them receive.
Speaker 1:How't want to lay down.
Speaker 2:That's fine, but I kind of learned to let the people be and let them receive how they want to receive, because I was thinking that she was restless and she wasn't there present fully, but she was.
Speaker 1:Right. So if we have a preconceived notion of how somebody should receive a sound bath or what it should look like, Exactly. We may really be inhibiting the person's experience. Yes, so you just give them their autonomy and then you make your peace with it as a practitioner.
Speaker 2:Yes, exactly, and it gives me more peace to focus on the music or the sounds and I let them be how they want to be.
Speaker 1:Which is a perfect metaphor. Listener for how to live your life. Yes, do your best and focus on what you're good at and what you can control and what you're there to offer.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And then give the dignity and respect to the other person to let them receive it or push it away or fumble around with it. Yes, you offer and you give it from a good place, a good intention, a good heart. Yes, and then they can do what they will with it.
Speaker 2:I've had people I mean I've been doing this for a couple of years now I've had people that comes to my mind that there was this one gentleman that did not want to relax and instead he was videoing me. I'm like, okay, that kind of meets the purpose.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Yes, so he was taking several pictures and videos and I'm like, I just want you to relax, but okay, if you would rather watch it later or upload it, then that's okay.
Speaker 1:He was definitely having some resistance.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Right, that's like we are watching resistance Everybody around you is melting into the floor and you're videoing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're videoing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, what a metaphor though.
Speaker 2:Totally.
Speaker 1:You could tell oh, he's having resistance to this whole relaxation thing.
Speaker 2:Yes, when he's the only one in a whole room with their everybody's, you know, relaxing and in their own, within their own body. And yeah, he was just with his phone like recording me playing the chimes and okay making his own youtube video.
Speaker 1:What kinds of physical, emotional or spiritual benefits do people typically share with you?
Speaker 2:a lot of it is. After they come to me, they're first interested in the way the instruments sound. I always get what was that instrument that you played? I had purple visions and I'm like I don't know. You tell me what did it sound like, because I mean, I'm not in their mind. So there's visions. People will also fall asleep. That's really common. I'll at least have in a group sound bath. I'll have one person fall asleep. It's really normal.
Speaker 2:I've had also people that have these mental experiences where they're thinking and they're not thinking about the grocery list, because that goes away after about 10 minutes. They start really having time to think through things that they're going through themselves and then the sounds end up being the background. But they get clarity in a moment that you don't get when you're worried about the groceries or worried about dinner or the bills or the job. You get that clarity and so a lot of times I have people that will say thank you, because that gave me the space to go inward where I wouldn't. I would just kind of live at the surface or live on repeat or live on my, whatever it is that they're going through. But it gives them a space to go through that. On an internal, level.
Speaker 1:Have you ever heard of a physical, like a client who comes or who visits you, or have you ever experienced? Okay, this really gave me the space to think about something. And so then, maybe an underlying condition healed. Underlying condition healed Like, let's say, pain in their body, or like I'm thinking of a friend and she has recurring migraines, so something like a sound bath can that help a chronic condition?
Speaker 2:They say that it can. I try to not touch on that as much because I don't want to say I'm a healer, because I don't know what's going on with you right, and to make that assumption that I can heal is, I don't think, fair to either party. So I say I'm a sound bath practitioner, I will give you a space where you can take time for yourself and then what you do with that time, how you want to honor yourself, is on you.
Speaker 1:That's really wise. Yes, I really love that. That's a continuation on what we said earlier. Like you offer it with a good intention and from a good place and they can do with it what are we? We can do with it what we will.
Speaker 2:Yes, and there's a rabbit hole. They say that cells hear sounds and you can go down that where they have sound baths in hospitals and they offer sound therapy or sound healing. And I don't want to personally say I'm a healer, I just want to say I'm giving. Let's have a space together where you can reset yourself and honor yourself through some really great meditative music.
Speaker 1:What does certification look like? What was that process for you?
Speaker 2:So there's a really big debate in the sound bath community of being certified versus not being certified, and is it worth it or is it not worth it? Right, because who looks for the award or the certification on your wall? I decided to do certification because I wanted the inside knowledge of you know 1000s of years or hundreds of years, and I wanted that knowledge of where is the root in this and and how has it benefited people. And of course, you can google search that. But I wanted it. I wanted a more formal way to go, so I'm a forever student.
Speaker 1:I'm always looking to get degrees you and I have that in common.
Speaker 2:Yes, I love so, of course, for me it was natural to want to. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it, in my eyes, the correct way, and I want to get all the knowledge that I can, and not Google knowledge. I wanted to have somebody teach me, so that's why I got certification and for me it was beneficial to me because I have that background now and nobody can take that knowledge and education away from me so for me it was great months of courses, years, weeks.
Speaker 1:What does it look like?
Speaker 2:totally self-paced. The one that I took was so totally self-paced, um, but there's all kinds of schools and you can go paste, you can go not paste. You can do once a week, it's oh really there's a lot of them out there. Mine was self-paced.
Speaker 1:Okay, or you can choose not to and just ding the bowls and yeah, listen, if that's your jam, go for it yeah I I'm like jessica I really enjoy structure, yes, and I really enjoy learning from somebody who really has a good foundation. Yep in it. Your tagline says you're a facilitator and sound alchemist.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:What does that mindset bring to your work?
Speaker 2:Being a facilitator and alchemist, I really want to focus on having a variety of sound. I feel like I'm a one-woman band, so I don't want to just come up with bowls. For me personally, playing bowls for 45 minutes or an hour is too much on my brain, so I want to incorporate different sounds. So that's why I bring the harp and the chimes and then sometimes, on a longer sound breath, I'll bring in music like an actual like two minute, three minute song, just to break up the brain and kind of reset yourself. Then I'll come back with a gong or it'll. I like variations of melodic tunes.
Speaker 2:And so that's what I incorporate, so that's what that means for me.
Speaker 1:Sound alchemist.
Speaker 2:That sounds so fancy. I know it feels fancy when you say it.
Speaker 1:Jessica, what do you hope the listener will take away from this conversation?
Speaker 2:I hope that if they have not been to a sound bath, no matter who it is, that they go, because it really helps your mind, and the mind is so powerful on your body, right? So if your mind is constantly stressed out, you don't perform your daily life as well, and I think when you reset yourself, not only do you feel it, but everybody around you around you feels it, like your family, friends, co workers, like your whole life right. And so what I would want the listener to know is this type of practice is out there, and so don't be closed minded, open yourself up, try it out, and I hope you like it.
