It makes me simply elated I've dreamed of going to australia since childhood I have always envied and respected the aboriginal culture as well as deeply admired the landscapes whenever I'm sad or feeling down about not being able to go playing the didj makes me feel as though I'm sitting on the dusty red earth and feeling the animals and earth speaking to me |

I feel happier and more uplifted when I play. It depends on the rhythm as to how it affects my mind but generally after playing for an extended time my mind becomes relaxed and calm. Some rhythms may invoke more peaceful or meditative feelings whereas some may invoke more upbeat or even intense driving energies but still it is a relaxed and focused mind. |

When I play my didge for any more than 10 minutes at a time I feel almost elated. I become relaxed and focus only on what I'm doing with my mouth almost like meditation. It feels like the didge becomes an extension of my voice. |
