Last night’s Kitty Cat Sound Bath at Cat Zen Cafe in St. Charles was truly one of the sweetest sessions yet. 🐾✨
Every time I come to play, I move slowly and mindfully. Only a small handful of cats live at the café full-time, the rest are new little souls waiting for their forever homes. So before anyone even arrives, I gently play each instrument to make sure the tones feel safe and soothing in their house. Their nervous systems come first.
But last night… oh my goodness. 💛🐈
This was the friendliest, most curious, most active group of cats yet. They explored while I was setting up. They climbed into the crystal singing bowls. They nestled inside the carrier bags. Tiny paws reached up to bat at the wind chimes as if they were playing right alongside me. It was pure magic.
And the humans? A completely different vibe, too.
Over 90% of the group was brand new, new to sound healing and new to the cat cafe. For the first time in a long time, most people chose to sit upright, staying fully present and interactive with the cats while I created soft music in the background. It felt playful, conscious, and beautifully attuned.
There is something so special when people choose to remain aware and engaged during a sound session. Gently connecting with the animals, exchanging curiosity and affection in real time.
And I also think it’s just as beautiful when someone chooses to lie down, close their eyes, and surrender completely… and the cats inevitably come curling up beside them or on top of them. That is the beauty of the friendly beast. You truly never know what they’re going to do but you can be sure they will find as much love as they can for you. 🐱💕
Moments like these stop me in my tracks and truly take my breath away. It is shared Joy in motion.
Holding small, private concerts for both people and animals is something I never would have imagined for myself as a child. And yet here I am! Doing it, loving it, and witnessing the beauty that unfolds each time.
I am deeply grateful for this life and the spaces that welcome me into them. 🎶✨
I’ll be back at Cat Zen Cafe in late spring. I visit quarterly and am so excited to see which whiskered musicians join us next time.
