The tonality of the month of August 2022 is HexaBluNa or HexaLolo, a Blu(e) hexatonality. Its first name, HexaBluNa, indicates that this is a hexatonality based on the first few Na(tural) harmonics with the addition of the Blu(esy) minor third and quart in the lower tetachord. Its second name is HexaLolo. This indicates that the lower tetrachord is the lowest possible or Lolo version of Reach. And the upper tetrachord contains just the minor seventh. A distinguishing feature of this tonality is the presence of two consecutive half tone steps. They juxtapose and allow this tonality to blend the contrasting common notions of minor and major side by side unified as one.

You may enjoy a sound sample or tonality loop as sound mantra for contemplation or meditation. This can help with upliftment, purification, and focusing. Or it could simply be used as soothing background sound for relaxation and regeneration. If you care to hum, chant, or sing along, you could use a spiritually charged syllable like HU or Ōṃ / Aum ॐ, or another mantra syllable that suits you.
