After visiting Australia I consider it the home I was meant to be born in. For this reason playing a didj when I can brings me back to the land I love so much even though I can't actually visit Australia anytime soon. |

It brings me instantly to a very meditative state of mind. Also the resonation of my face and skull massages the mental body as it is stimulating all the upper chakras in multiple ways. |

Listening to the didge certain has a good effect on my mind and moods. It is an excellent treatment for depression. I imagine playing would be even better. |

It could relax me since any kind of music has that effect on me. |

Calming or exciting depending on how I'm playing. I don't meditate well but when playing the Didge the focus on breathing and the drone itself are conducive to meditative states. |

I know listening has a calming effect. I imagine the same will occur with playing. I play other instruments and they have that effect. |

It relaxes me up to a point near meditation. I was once with a group of people in which we had the fortune to have an indigenous Mamo (a very wise person in the Arhuac) and his apprentice with us! We started to play the drums with didgeridoos and overtone/throat singing and after a time we all felt bonded mentally we were in a state of spiritual unity...I was certainly much more "lucid" or spiritually aware than what I normally am in a daily basis. It was wonderful! |

The sustained tonals combined with the deep breathing functions as a supercharged meditation for me and fills me with loads of endorphins. |

I have entered full trance states similar to meditating four hours on end often including vivid imagery after playing the didgeridoo for less than 20 minutes. From 30 minutes onwards I can become completely disconnected with nothing but the vibration of the didgeridoo being in existence. Afterwards I have much better concentration and can finish difficult tasks faster because of higher focus. |

Well it helps me to quieten down and to relax. It has a great power on my mind. If I get angry I can play didjeridoo to relax. |

Oh above... but also it makes me feel very present as I time travel a bit in my thoughts I've tried learning guitar and some other instruments but it is still me and a guitar but myself and didgeridoo seem to unite in a different way and it is very responsive |

When playing the rest of the world fades away. You can drop into the drone and the didgeridoo becomes and extension of the bodies energy. |
