Well a biased standpoint I'm sure it would be calming and also help improve upper respiratory functions maybe even help with high blood pressure problems... But what do I know. I’m still very new to this. |

Playing the didgeridoo changes everything mentally and physical for me it is a meditation and a deep healing journey at the same time. |

It is incredibly relaxing and allows me to completely be in the didge playing. there are very few activities that get me so relaxed so easily. I have tried meditation before but it wasn't easy. With the didj I just flow into it. |

Helps me to relax mentally harmonizing my inner mind freeing my mind of random thoughts. Also helps with my sleep apnoea and breath a lot easier. |

Lately using didj recordings for part of my meditation. Very relaxing & pleasurable. I like that it seems to make no demands on listener - IT JUST IS. Eager to play myself! (I have sleep apnoea and am appalled by the breath distortion caused by CPAP. Didj playing in contrast seems like a healthy activity that could be beneficial in many ways. I know my breathing is weak & throat & pharyngeal muscles could use exercise. Didj seems ideal for me in a number of ways.) |

I can't play very well but I find the music very soothing calming and relaxing. The deep vibration is good for mind and body (and soul I would think). |

I know just how moving the sounds of a didge can be. It brings my mind to a state of complete relaxation. |

Other than the frustration of wanting to circular breathe I find playing my didge pipes is relaxing. I am able to switch off and forget the days hassles and often now it is the last thing I do before going to bed most nights. |

Increase breathing as well as the strengthening of the airways & tract. I find it rather meditating with the drone rhythm and again emphasis on the breath. |

I'm not a doctor but have been told -and tell anyone who didn't ask- it helps to cure snoring. There's a hospital in the Dutch city of Nijmegen that uses didges for that purpose. |

Recently I played for 1 5 hours straight the longest I ever played. (I've just started being serious to really learn how to play the didge.) During the playing I felt really good! I was at peace and was just enjoying the fact that the sound filled up the room and myself as if everything was in sync:) When I stopped playing for the day... (mainly because I didn't want to annoy the neighbours in the evening hours) It was just WOW. Can't remember I ever felt so good! A grin on my face I was totally relaxed! Then I wanted to continue playing but yeah the neighbours haha! Since that moment I am less stressed and more positive in general.:) |

When my daughter was in the belly I used to play to her. When she was born and would have a sad time then I would play the didj to her and instantly she would calm down. I was like home to her and still is. |

In times of depression that didj helps. Take a moment to focus one just 1 thing. I think the breathing helps you feel better too. |
