Meditative increased my breathing and lung health. Activating using my true Voice I never snored or had sleep apnea but I'm sure it would help if I did:-) Energizing relieves stress uplifting. Connecting to nature. Strengthening abdominal digestive health. Mental clarity brings joy / fun / childlike innocence and expression when playing vocal animal sounds especially!:-) |

I cant attest as I am only a new beginner but I believe it would help with breathing techniques and lung capacity not to mention the psychological effects from learning a new skill and mastering an instrument. |

I like the sound of the instrument and the possibility of it helping me with my sleep apnea is a definite bonus. |

Playing has a calming effect where you can allow your mind to simply flit from one thing to another. I suppose it's a sort of meditation although I'm not into that in its strictest meaning. |

After playing for awhile and circular breathing I feel relaxed and my lungs feel nice and exercised. |
Joshua from USA |

Increase lung capacity. Controlled breathing to assist in maximum oxygen intake/carbon exhaust. All music or controlled sounds regardless of the singular feeling promote an overall feeling of satisfaction which in turn reduces stress and tension (provided you like the sounds). |
