Extreme feeling of peace and state of non-thought... sometimes when play long periods of time achieve some alternate state of consciousness... visualization of aura energies inside an outside my body... the feeling of being absorbed up... simply the most beautiful thing I have experienced... deep meditation... it's like a continuous om" the best of all is that people around (nearby) experiment similar feelings... cannot explain how good it is at all!!" |

The discipline required to play the didj as well as the meditative states reached by playing the instrument may catalyze a sort of evolution of the mind. |

Playing the didj is a very relaxing experience that helps calm my mind and eventually clears it. When my session is done there is a smile on my face and whomever happened to have been listening. Dare I say you can enter a trance like state at times. |

Nice and calming. Health benefits from a calm mind really are dependent on the user. For me it is a superb way to kill 45 minutes and feel superb at the end of it: meditative really. |

Listening to didge relaxes me. There is a couple Per and Eileen who play on the Pearl Street Mall who have a rig with soundproof headphones and funnels attached to the headphones that they play into. It's the most relaxing sound. And after talking with them a bunch it seems like it has great effects when you play it. They enter a trance like state and really feed off of each others sounds. (They duet which isn't traditional at all) |
