We can recognize MinReach, also known as harmonic minor, in the melody of the \u201c<\/mark>Guggisberg-Lied<\/mark><\/a>\u201d or \u201cs\u2019Vreneli ab em Guggisberg\u201d. This is one of the most haunting and well-known Swiss folklore songs. It stirred up so much emotion that historically it was forbidden by the death penalty in Bernese regiments in the foreign legion. It tended to cause Swiss soldiers to desert and go home. <\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You may enjoy a sound sample or tonality loop as sound mantra for <\/mark>contemplation<\/mark><\/a> or <\/mark>meditation<\/mark><\/a>. 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 do so using a spiritually charged syllable like <\/mark>HU<\/mark><\/a><\/em> or <\/mark>\u014c\u1e41 \/ Aum<\/mark><\/em><\/a> \u0950,<\/mark> or another mantra syllable that suits you.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
