It's very relaxing puts me in a zone where it's all I am focused on. I don't play much anymore because the PVC doesn't lend the greatest sound. |

I use it as a means of meditation to clear my mind. It also helped me quit smoking cigarettes. Every time I had the urge to smoke I'd pick up my didge. |

I can sleep in a way I didn't remember was possible! My sleep is very deep... and I have lots of dreams! Even if I always forget them I know I dreamed and I feel very refreshed after sleeping. And today I just realized that I can control my breathing while running so I can run longer without running out of air! |

Strengthens respiratory system. Channels positive energy. Spreads good vibes to all. Deep breathing and fast rhythms flood the body with oxygen which enhances all aspects of health. Expands lung capacity so breathing on everyday basis is deeper and more relaxed. Raises overall vibration of my being because it causes much focus and joy in my life. Physical vibrations of the didge help release negative conditions and energies especially in the head respiratory system and upper torso where the physical vibration seeps in from the playing. |

I deal with pretty intense headaches and I often listen to didgeridoo music to sort out the pain and balance the energy. I expect it will continue to help as I learn to play it more. |

I spend my day playing the double bass and I had some problem with my back...looking for the right base-drone key didj I grew my control of breathing that's useful for playing a bowed instrument too increased the concentration while studying. Further more playing didj in open spaces is such a mystic experience! |

Well from what I know it helps with snoring. Also when I get to play it for extended periods of time (especially going out to scenic places well of the beaten track) It makes me feel more energetic happy and at peace with myself. |

The didj brings my body and breathing into balance. Also my sinuses will open up and I can breath deeper. It is also very meditative and that helps me calm down from the stress from the week. The didj is also very good to play when you are sad especially when someone you love has passed away. |

I love it and it makes me happy. Even though I can't play well or circular breath I love what I can do and I know as I progress I will enjoy it more and more. Didgeridoo music in general makes me very happy. I believe ones health is directly tied into your emotions if you find something that creates happiness joy and love you will be healthier and resonate good feelings from your being. |

As mentioned earlier in this survey I was involved in a head on collision which resulted in part in me sustaining several broken ribs and a torn diaphragm (stomach pushed through into my chest cavity). After 1 month in a coma and a total of a 3 month+ stay in the hospital I began learning to play the didgeridoo immediately after my release. I attribute my practice and playing of my didgeridoo to the rapid restoration of the strength and capacity in my breathing. Not to mention the reduction in my snoring which has improved the restful sleep obtained by both my wife and I. |
