When Catherine Corona was five years old, she walked into the woods and into eternity. No drama. No crisis. Just a curious child on a deer trail who paused long enough to listen. The birds went quiet. The wind softened. And through the canopy of leaves, she looked up — not just at the sky, but into it.

What she saw wasn’t simply stars. It was stars behind stars, in layers, stretching into forever. They shimmered with something ancient. And they sang.

This wasn’t metaphor or mysticism dressed up for a podcast. It was the moment Catherine became attuned to what she later learned to call the sound current — Naad, Nom, the unstruck melody that hums beneath creation. At five years old, she felt it, heard it, and asked the question that would shape the rest of her life: Do I have a song too?

The Quiet Path of No Collapse

In a healing world thick with “I lost everything and found myself” stories, Catherine offers a rare and needed reminder: spiritual depth doesn’t always require disaster. Her path was carved by wonder, not wreckage. Her story doesn’t hinge on addiction or burnout. Instead, it rises from decades of practice. Of simply showing up. Of listening. And of choosing to follow the sound.

She never had to fall apart to awaken. And yet, her life hasn’t been without difficulty. As she gently reveals, she’s lived through abuse, survived cancer more than once, and faced violence with unflinching grace. But she didn’t wait for those things to define her spiritual beginning. They simply deepened the journey she had already chosen. And that makes all the difference.

Chanting in the Clinic, Singing in the Soul

Healers often ask: Can I really bring my practice into “ordinary” life?

Catherine answers by humming through a biopsy. Literally.

Faced with another possible recurrence, she didn’t retreat into fear or into silence. Instead, she began to chant. First alone. Then with the doctor. Then with the technician. What could have been a sterile moment of vulnerability became, as she puts it, a shared field of healing sound.

This is what mastery looks like — not an abstract ritual on a mountaintop, but embodied presence in a clinical room, making music with strangers under fluorescent light.

The Frequency of the Forgotten

In one of the conversation’s most grounding moments, Catherine shares her time working with incarcerated women. She entered prisons not as a saviour, but as someone who had done her own deep work — someone who could sit in silence with the wounded and not flinch.

She didn’t show up with a curriculum. She showed up with presence. With the sound current vibrating quietly within her. And when the women spoke — or didn’t — Catherine didn’t try to fix anything. Sometimes she just stood in loving awareness. Sometimes she hummed. And often, that was enough.

A Body That Sings Back

Throughout the episode, Philipp keeps circling back to the power of sound. Not as metaphor. As medicine.

For Catherine, every organ, every cell has a tone. She could hear cancer before scans detected it — an eerie, jagged frequency that didn’t belong. When the sound returned years later, she recognised it instantly.

She now teaches that healing can begin by tuning into these inner vibrations. That our bodies are not just flesh and data but instruments — tuned or out of tune, resonant or dissonant. The practice, she insists, is available to everyone. You don’t need fancy training. You just need to get quiet enough to hear yourself.

The Sacred Is Not Elsewhere

One of the quiet revolutions in this conversation is the idea that you don’t need to “escape” your life to find spirit. The sacred is not locked in temples or in texts. It’s in your kitchen. In your dog walk. In your inbox. And it’s definitely in your voice.

That’s why Catherine created her daily sound practice — a short, accessible program that helps people return to themselves, again and again. With chant. With affirmation. With a level of simplicity that makes it hard to make excuses.

No Map Needed, But Bring One Anyway

Philipp, ever the philosopher, wonders aloud whether science will one day catch up to Catherine’s sound-based reality. Could physics eventually explain the divine song? Will frequencies become diagnostics?

Catherine smiles at the question. She’s not waiting. But she welcomes the company.

Her sound current is not anti-science. It just doesn’t require validation. If science joins the song, all the better. But the stars were singing long before microscopes were invented — and they’ll keep singing long after we’re done asking why.

Just Listen

For healers, this episode is a gentle trumpet call. Not to act. Not to fix. But to listen. To the hum beneath your thoughts. To the rhythm of your own breath. To the part of you that already knows — and has simply been waiting for you to remember.

The full conversation is available on the @HolisticCircle YouTube channel, and while we’re not here to push, let’s just say: if you’re ready to hear your own soul again, this might be the moment.
