ReachMin sound sample — plays as loop until stopped or going to another page on this tab. (Or play it on a new tab.)
You may enjoy a sound sample loop, such as the one of the tonality of the month, as sound mantra for contemplation or meditation, for upliftment, focusing, or simply for relaxation and regeneration as soothing background sound. Further, you could hum or chant along, for example using HU or another mantra, and tune yourself to the fundamental.

Silence.
Able to hear.
Who's there?
Who are you?
Is that you?
-
Paths cross.
Come and go.
Stay a while?
How long?
Welcome!
Or good bye?
Your choice!
And mine.
In the flow.
Come and go.
Paths cross.
-
You know me.
I know you.
You and I.
Here now.
Able to see.
A sweet face.
Eyes and heart.
Look and listen.
A blank page.
White light.
Happy sound.
Of silence.
In love.

Silence in love — sunlight weaving waves in heaven — Grächwil — November 2020
What wonderful freedom to wake in the morning and decide where to go and what to do! And then actually do it. It’s in the doing and being that all blossoms — and in going out into the world(s). Meet dear ones, and let others go where they may. Thus, paths cross, folks meet and split again. Naturally. Most all tend to inflate themselves in one way or another. Invariably bubbles burst sooner or later. At first it may be considered a disaster of sorts, then hopefully recognized a blessing.

Tonalibus in English, German, French, and Italian —
The Tonalibus website is now available also in French and Italian, besides German and the original English. It appears by default in the language of your system settings or your geographic region. You can manually set the language on the bottom left of the screen by selecting the small American, Swiss, French or Italian flag.
It took a lot of fine-tuning to have these languages reasonably well aligned. Actually it was surprising how inconsistent and often inaccurate automatic translation engines still are. One of the supposedly best of them provided the initial translations of the Tonalibus website and continues to dynamically translate elements on this site. Therefore, the previous warning remains in full force: When in doubt about a statement on this website, please refer to the original English version.
Individual sound mantras, exploration courses, and mini-concert sessions
We have formalized the first several steps of individual sound mantra creation. These steps are now available on password-protected Tonalibus website pages to those requesting a sound mantra.
A custom-tailored Tonalibus exploration course series is starting. Its language is Swiss-German. The first of the three-sessions presents a condensed introduction to some key Tonalibus concepts. The second session focuses on determining the personal, fundamental sound and individual tonalities. And the third session is dedicated to practical work with tonality applications and improvisations.
After a short break, due to the current pandemic, open mini-concert sessions resume in December with only half of the few seats in the studio available. Mini-concert session program samples are now accessible on the Tonalibus website in PDF format.
Fidibus shop offerings of Tonalibus continue to develop as they come into more practical use.

LET'S CELEBRATE!Celebrate the way it is,
That we are here now.
Together so much can be.
Let go of where we were,
And what will be then.
Tomorrow is another day.
Now is the moment,
Together we can share.
How far can we go?
Limits are to be broken,
For freedom and love.
Doors are to be opened,
Flickers to be steadied.
Nurture the light,
And it will expand,
Illuminate all around,
Most of all the heart,
Your heart and mine.
That's what we have,
And celebrate we are,
Together in this moment,
However close or far.
Reach across the divide,
For our hearts embrace.
Sing a song of love,
Happiness and joy.
I missed you and love.
Let's celebrate now!
