It helps me feel more centred within myself which means I don't get stressed out very easily when playing didj often. I think this is because of the focus I put on my breathing whilst playing one of the things I have always loved about the didj is the 'earthy' feeling it gives me |

It makes me feel relaxed and helps me chill out after a stressful day. I'm thinking of perhaps recording a modulating drone for meditation and yoga |

See above. Meditation is physical mental and spiritual and that includes the effects of playing the didj. |

I love how it sounds although I dunno how long I could listen to it - I bet sometimes that sound could get annoying but only when I'm headachy. I like how it sounds like all these different kinds of things... it's alive |

As I said before the sound of the didj calms my mind. Once I learn circular breathing I think I could sit for hours by the river playing. |

It allows you to listen to your mind and I find it helps me sort out issues going on in my life and mind. It's calming and help me to realise what is important to me. |

Again even though I am very new the little bit of playing that I can do really calms me down and nearly puts me into a trance. I have not felt this good in a long time. I cannot wait until I progress and get a quality didgeridoo of my own. |

Calming and focusing effect definitely. It relaxes me. I keep one of my didgeridoos at my office where I will play often at the end of the day to 'clear' my mind of all the clatter and tension. |

After I play the didgeridoo I always feel calmer and more centered. It is a great way for me to relax and let loose of some energy when I have some time. I also get a chance to express creativity in a instrument which I never had a chance to do so before I tried to play the didgeridoo(I haven't been able to play other instruments very well) |

I consider playing didgeridoo a meditative practice as I play I feel a deepening sensation. I think that the combination of actions taking place raises our awareness resulting in brain plasticity evolution. Incorporating rhythmic patterning circular breathing pitch awareness and storytelling all into one activity can result in potent effects. After playing didgeridoo I feel less spacey or static much more grounded and tuned. The drone quality of the didgeridoo is a large factor in its effects. With only one fundamental note to concentrate on choices seem more simple life has more direction....sometimes having all the choices in front of you can limit your freedom... the didgeridoo connects me to source energy at least closer to source then most things I have experienced. Experiencing source energy gives me the confidence to approach what I know is truthful but may seem difficult. |

I feel very calm and centered and connected to the universe when I play. psychics have described beings that they see overshadowing me when I am do sound healing. It is the best thing for pulling off dead energy and psychic debris. One medium told me she saw these beings crawling in and out of the opening eating the dead energy. |

I find that playing - or when I used to play - gives me a release a freedom that playing any musical instrument allows (I also play the guitar). I think that playing a traditional instrument like thus goes even further as it is connecting me to a past way of life something that we - non-aboriginal people - have lost touch with. |

I enjoy it and it relaxes me... I have to be present to play with circular breathing |
