Calming - slows the pace of life and reminds me that nature has doesn't move at the frenetic speed that modern living tries to make us do. |

Sometimes soothing-- sometimes unsettling |
Brian DeRoche from USA |
It's an incredable release of stress and energy. I use it quite frequently when I need to relax. It's nearly like going into a trance; I concentrate on my breathing and let teh Didj lead me where it will... |

Playing my didj relaxes me and allows me to think more clearly while I am playing. Usually afterward I have some time with really clear thought and clarity. |

Mother Earth - spiritual resonance - community - healing - we use them at many ceremonies to call the 4 directions and to get everyone centered. |

it gives me a comfortable feeling; I can even physically feel it; it's just nature; so simple but perfect (may be the best thing about it); I admire players who are one with their didge; those who can play by heart. it makes me keen on getting there aswell. it may be a long way but I just can't stop walking. it's the perfect instrument for me because unlike any other it's purely nature. |
Chris Spencer from England |

RELAXING |

Aural vibratory massage |
Damir Kutuzovich from Croatia |
Ok; I'll share my secret with you ... I had a dream: Me sitting on a ground in some high alltitude forrest; seeing a valley down to me and a beautifull SILENCE around me. I play the didj and slowly close my eyes; just to realise that all of my surrounding is becoming one and only one energy. Sound produced by didj slowly changes in timbre as I blow into it and becomes the only source of vibrations around me. Sound comes from all over me and it becomes a connection with everything here and there and everywhere ! I must state that I have this dream offenly when smoke marihuana and relax in nature or room. One friend of mine told me that dreams that comes back have important meaning on someones spiritual life; but I don't know how to connect it or use it to improve my spiritual life. I work in computer-shop here and have daily problems that does not allow me to work on spiritual part of me. I can't go without money; but wish to do and live with less materialism and stress. Didj sound helps me to go there and be there and enoy every moment of it ... |
Daniel Jones from Wales |
peacefull; yet energietic. it me fell something I have never felt before; it's not possible to describe the sensation; you have to hear or play it to understand the sensation. |

Good |
Danl Tetley from England |
It makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! |
Dave Tighe from England |
It can change my mood in seconds and make me think about natural things. It is a great meditation instrument and I would love to be able to play a proper one. |
David Allen from England |
It is intensely calming but very exciting at the same time. When I play the didj I find it almost impossible to think about anything else - which is incredibly pleasing. It allows me to escape from everything I dislike about the modern way of life. |
David Bailey from USA |
I makes a sound like no other instrument I know. It could be called magical or mystical. I really don't know what to call it. I just know " I like it!!" |
David Dryer from USA |
I find the sound extremely relaxing. When listening to others; I find myself in a state not unlike zen. When playing by myself (especially now that I can circular breathe) I lose track of time completely. |

Throughly mind spelling sound; a sound you will never forget! |

It positively mesmerises me; especially a bassy resonant sound. I love playing my 'B' key didges in the bathroom; the sound is simply awesome and I am now considering buying an amplifier to play my didges through. |
Derek Bell from United States |
I love the sound and the rhythm of a didjeridu because I like the ''wildness''. |
Derek Leath from USA |
