Music activates parts of your brain that may not activate any other way it adds clarity and opens your mind for great activity. |

The simple zen of focusing on one's breathing brings me a peace of mind. It allows the breather and player to realise his/her true power over their own existence in the moment. the activity of the didj forces the player to think in the moment keeping a clarity and control over our "involuntary responses" |

I find playing even the infrequently that I'm able to do very relaxing and often felt like an active mental cleansing process. |

Once again I'm new to this but it helps in meditation. I'm sure I will gain more insight as I go along. |

It is always a confidence booster to learn a new instrument and always a humbling thought when your playing something from nature that people have been playing for such a long period of time. |

It's an achievement I thought I'd never accomplish. People told me that females can't play the didge but I have been able to. My husband has been a huge help teaching me the strategies of circular breathing. |

It helped me to get into the meditation much deeper than I used to meditate before starting to play didge. Regarding meditation it opened my other senses much stronger like usage of the third eye as well as seeing the auras of the people etc. |
