“Sound Healing is a profound and powerful experience of sound and vibration, which combines live music, pure natural sound, ancient mantras, and soulful vocals. For thousands of years, sound has been utilized in various cultures as a tool for the body, mind, and soul of a person to trigger harmony and healing. “You can lie comfortably on mats on the floor or sit on a chair/meditation cushion while slowing down your breathing. By doing this, you prepare yourself to get in a meditative state of stillness and become the receiver of sounds. You receive powerful mantras, sound medicine melodies, and other songs accompanied by sacred instruments in order to move in a place of complete relaxation and peace. “The benefits of sound healing are, among others, stress reduction, deep relaxation, improved sleep, better concentration, and a stronger immune system. Sound healing beneficially affects all cells in your body.” — Announcement of an evening with Punnu Singh Wasu and Ulrico on October 15 at the Kientalerhof, Switzerland — Catherine Göldlin

August 2022 Spiritualibus blog update
In recent months it was possible to add comments to new posts on the Spiritualibus Blog. However as of now this capability is no longer available. It was turned off because there were more comments from unidentifiable sources and potential hackers coming in than usable contributions.
“Perhaps you have had this experience. You or a loved one is struggling with pain, depression, fear, sleeplessness, or loss of will. Then someone steps in to say, ‘Let me be with you, just as you are.’ The offer is to share space and music with another without words, judgment or objective to change or modify the other, and without expectation of praise or reward. Many times, music accompanies the sacred liminal space between now and what is to come. This is the role of the therapeutic musician.
“The certified therapeutic musician is a highly trained professional whose objective is to provide intentional music at the bedside and other settings to work together with the other’s mood, body rhythms, culture, and musical preferences to provide comfort care. The anecdotal as well as documented evidence of the benefits of therapeutic music are extensive. Among other valuable results, therapeutic music has been shown to move heart rate, blood pressure, and respirations to more optimal levels and to ease anxiety and reduce pain. This musical support is accomplished at a very low cost and without negative side effects.”
This July 2022 Tonalibus update highlights some website changes. It announces the new main menu language selection and links to the Tonalibus / Ulrico pages on some major global music platforms. First though, it presents the latest playlist and sound sample additions. And it concludes with a spiritual reminder quote and a an fascinating 8-second video clip.

July 2022 Tonalibus update on menu options and translations
The page Contact of this website is now accessible as the last secondary menu option under About.
Under Start you now find links to the Tonalibus / Ulrico pages on some major music platforms.
The language selection option for English, German, French, or Italian is now a main menu option.
The Tonalibus website currently experiences isolated translation problems. In English all works well. But in German, French, and Italian some links that target a specific place in the body of a page land on the top of the target page instead of the desired location on that page. This happens e.g. with the link Blog Posts by Month, a secondary main menu option under Spiritualibus Blog, with some links as loop with recent sound samples, or with some tonality subgroup menu links like for Pentatonalities. The provider of the currently used translation engine is busy working on resolving this.
An old spiritual reminder quote as July 2022 update
“I have no special message to give but to remind you of the teaching of Maharaj Sawan Singh Ji, which he impressed on us all through his life and which constitutes the essence of the teachings of the saints of all times. What is their mission in this world? Saints are men of God, who come here on a mission of mercy to lead the suffering humanity back to the feet of God. That is their only mission in life. They come not to divide but to unite and are above the narrow distinctions of caste and creed. They do not wish to create new sects or castes, though when they pass away, their followers lose sight of their real teachings and take to various types of ritualism and narrow down the teachings, meant for the whole humanity, to particular sects and schools. This gives rise to castes or creeds and even bigotry and fanaticism; but there are no such differences in saints.
“Saints of all ages and countries have the same message to give, the same truth to teach. They tell us that the soul is a spark of the divine flame, but its light here is dimmed by mind and maya. They teach us how to pierce these veils and get united again to our source or origin.”
Message to overseas disciples in 1957 from Maharaj Charan Singh

One, two, three… in harmony and music
“Lao-Tzu, around 600 B.C.E., wrote, ‘One has produced Two, Two has produced Three.’ A commentator explains, ‘These words mean that One has been divided into Yin, the female principle, and Yang, the male principle. These two have joined, and out of their junction has come a third, Harmony. The spirit of Harmony, as it condenses, produces all beings.'”
“Indeed, Pythagoras, who lived in Greece around the same time that Lao-Tzu lived in China, thought that tripling was the only acceptable harmonic principle; consequently, the harmonic system generated by compounding fifths and reducing octaves is called Pythagorean.”
“G lives between C and D … It is a light that goes on inside.”
— Harmonic Experience, W. A. Mathieu, pp. 34-36
