In my study of Traditional Chinese Medicine channels can become blocked when vibration occurs such as when you are playing these channels become cleared and stay open everything responds to vibration in some way and I feel better when I play; ) |

I had surgery on my inner ears and right now cannot play the didj because the vibrations cause dizziness. I hope to resume when my ears are healed. |

I use it to meditate and in the facilitation of Shamanic Sound Healings |
| Brandon from USA |

Like any meditative practice playing has a positive effect. I think by letting go of the ego (a requirement for entering a transcendental state) the body and mind are allowed to deeply rest and heal!and playing didj facilitates that down to a molecular level. |

Saved my life and I want to give back. After the surgery my respiratory system is my weakest point and it tends to trigger non-stop my endocrinian adrenal system (fight or flight) which caused exhaustion over time. I *have* to play and practice yoga daily otherwise I'm a goner. |

We will see. As I said above I discovered this as a small N study on treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea. We'll see how badly I snore after I've practiced circular breathing for a while and what my quality of sleep is |

I can't say that MY playing has any effect because I'm lucky when I make one sound but I do know that the sound of a didj has a healing effect on people. The breathing exercise is similar to meditation. |

I try to play when I am either depressed or feel sick. When I am sad I don't meditate. I like to meditate every day. Playing the didj gets me to do it subconsciously. I always feel lighter on my feet and more relaxed afterwards |

I've done a lot of reading on the health effects of didgeridoo. It can strengthen muscles necessary for breathing reducing sleep apnea and snoring in tests done on participants in the UK. It is also great for meditation (I bought a CD of sweeping didgeridoo music for meditation) relieving stress etc. |
