I was a social aid for an autistic man he is non-verbal loves to be read to loves food! I played for him his mouth dropped and he stared. I truly believe the vibrations calmed him and put him at peace. Another experience with autistic children I had was at a school. I played for the children some really enjoyed it some took no notice at all. One child walked up to me grabbed my didj put his mouth to it and simply played it just like that he made the sounds of a didgeridoo. It was amazing! |

I use all sorts of sounds as therapeutic tools working with children with special needs (autism particularly) and the didge seems to be a favourite of most people I work with. Some people become totally relaxed (gamma brain wave style) others feel relief from pain. the didge seems top know what part of the body to go for. When giving healing I can feel invigorated afterward or drained. It is a tool to facilitate exchange of energy and a two way process. |

My uncle was very sick and asked me to play for him. he said he felt better after a few hours and the Featherfoot was no longer able to reach him as the didge was stopping him. I was depressed and learnt how to play since then I no longer get said or upset about life/death I just relax and tell my story to nature and the problems drift away |

Again this was not my intention. However I had just had some painful dental work done and I found that by playing the didj for a half hour or so the pain went away. |

Receiving it briefly made me feel like I 'had lemonade in my aura!'I tried briefly was told my intention to heal could be felt but I needed to be more at ease with my didge - my circular breathing needs work and my didge is very heavy. |

See the above text with the combination of quantum touch. In qt there is next to breathing an roll for sound light/colour and thoughts/moods. So it is not a plane didge-healing but more in which the didge has a part in breathing and sound |

My own experience giving didgeridoo healing is it increases by body temperature like doing a physical workout. I don't experience this physiological change when playing the didgeridoo for meditation or when playing with other instruments like flutes drums or other didgeridoo players. The feedback I get from the people I give healing to is they experience the deep vibration in areas they have had issues with or concerns about or an overall feeling of peacefulness |

The very first experience was at North Fork by Barry and Coral when they played over me. I was completely overwhelmed with emotion and brought to tears from the heart. From this experience I decided that I would incorporate the didge into my spiritual practice and continue to play on others and in groups. Comments from these practices have always been positive and well received by all. Some have told me that they have had the most extraordinary visual and physical experiences of their lives. |
Jesse from Canada |

I would be thankful to experience this. |

I use didgeridoo in various works. It discharges energy concentrations and eliminates entities (soft exorcism). I never use the didj directly towards the body or above the head of the person. The healing with didj that I received was exciting but the person wasn't a healer and the effects were a bit disturbing. But I learned from it and think I do it more appropriately and the necessary respect for the sacred sound and the integrity of the person. |

I went to New Mexico to a sound healing conference. I was having terrible knee problems and when I arrived in NM after being on a plane for several hours I could not walk. One of the women at the conference gave a didge workshop. She cured herself of cancer. I got up on her table and had three didge. playing over me. I WALKED OFF the table! MY body zinged for three days... it was marvelous. Since then I have vowed to learn to play and offer healing to others. I am a Reiki Master and want to add the didge. to my healing practice. |

I have been doing Didj sound healings for 14 yrs many for the coming baby still in womb as well as those wanting chakra attunement. I started doing Didj Sound Healings on my own before I had any idea anyone else was doing it. The idea came to me because I had in 1984 at an outdoor Pagan Gathering been brought a young boy who had eaten up a bag of snickers and was sick. The mother brought him to me (me being the only Massage Therapist at the gathering) asking me to help him. Sitting by him trying to be open to what to do besides massaging his tummy my hand picked up the Shakere (gourd instrument) next to me and placing the round bottom on his tummy (he lying on his back)I "hummed" a low note that resonated with the bowl/shape of the Shakere and sent the vibration into his abdomen. Being "mostly" liquid and "hollow" the sound resonated through his torso. After a few minutes I stopped and the boy got up walked 10 ft and threw up everything. Since I started playing Didj (1995) when I do Didj Sound Healings I use a small (12"head/14" high) drum that my clients hold on their bellies (drum head/skin down) as a Resonator to play the Didj inside of. |

Meho from USA |

I combined the breath work I teach with the vibrational dynamics of a didge. I found that the sound loosened physical energetic blocks and resistance while the breath created a pathway for the unblocked energy to move through me. I've tried to find a didge player who I could work with for strictly healing purposes and have been frustrated. So its time to learn it myself. But that doesn't allow me to work directly with people on their breathing. |

I felt nothing from being the receiver; two people have told me that they felt there was an "energy shift" within them when I played my didge to benefit them. Both commented on a sense of peace and well-being they felt afterward. |

I use this as a regular part of my sound healing practice. People often are totally in awe afterwards - they love the sound and vibration. I will often become very warm during this and can feel the sound coming and changing as it is needed in different areas; I am sensitive to energy and can "feel" the sound interacting with their body. Its a wonderful experience to be able to work with somebody in this way. |

I do various didj healings some straight sound some where the person guides the didj to where they want.

Not to individual humans as such but to the harmony of everything in general. I love playing in the bush and am often amazed at the way the animals respond. Also very occasionally unusual places or land formations almost demand that I sit and when the time is right play. |

Same as with meditation. I tend to "see" the frequencies & vibrations of the Didge as rings waves & zig-zag patterns in different colours. (Almost the consistency of smoke rings). Each of the colours/patterns also has it's own smell and physical sensation (can feel the "movement" in my body) This sometimes leads to twitches floating arms etc. A wonderful experience! |

The most amazing healing I have received with the didgeridoo completely cured my stage fright and I felt light as a feather for two days after. I didn't even feel my 3.5kg didge hanging on my shoulder! In my didgeridoo sound healings I have seen people cry remember past lives relieve headaches tensions fears... People mostly tend to go to rain forests in these sound voyages but many go under water and some into outer space:) |
