Other than perhaps keeping me from snoring I don't know if the didj has any positive health effects. |

Your breath is the most important thing in your life. Your whole life depends on it. Learning to control it to play the didge teaches you to understand your body better. |

Very stimulating to be played on (my feet at the base of the didj that someone else played). I felt tickled laughing; resonance travelled throughout my body making me feel so alive (too bad it was in a room full of stuffy people). |

I would think that the ability to hold a long breath to blow longer would make your lungs more healthy if you do not smoke (as I do not smoke). |

My husband made me a PVC didj after I had surgery and was having difficulty regaining the use of my lungs. The didj was a great motivation for getting me to breath and to extend my lung capacity. It also had a wonderful calming effect. |

Didj is excellent for one's self especially when reciprocal breathing & meditating for periods over a few minutes... also didj healing is exceptionally potent & useful you have the person stand or seat in a meditative lotus position with their back straight and breathe slowly then you start at their base chakra (root) and slowly work your way up through their chakras to the crown and back down as much as you/they can stand... it helps get stagnant energies moving again by stimulating vibrations that ceased in dead cells to begin the dance of life anew again... |
