Playing the didj is like getting a massage u get very relaxed if you concentrate on what you are doing. The breathing and the sound create a very good state of mind. |

Just overall feeling of calm. I have two meditation didges and combined with regular meditation feel their effect may get stronger as time goes by. |

Learning to circular breathe and the addition of vocal noises and cheek pumping as well as an in-the-works attempt at beat boxing have strengthened my lungs and really helped me cut down and almost quit smoking cigarettes! |

One thing I haven't figured out is that it causes swelling of my lips after I play for a bit which eventually means that I have to stop playing. I will stick with it though and am sure my lips will get used to the vibration eventually. [OUR COMMENT: yes eventually your lips will get used to it and stop swelling or at least you can play for much longer before they do] |

1) Peaceful feeling the low freq. sound produces. 2) Increased oxygenation 3) Increased calmness meditation from 'feeling' the didge. 4) Better sleep - my apnea has decreased since I started playing. |

I have very severe sleep apnea and would love to learn to play the didj so I can lengthen my life for my children and grandchildren. And one day I would love to visit Australia especially the aborigines and learn of their culture. |

I am very much into the healing effect of sound and rhythm and from personal experience would say that there is certainly both a physical and spiritual healing that can take place given a conducive environment and willing listener. |

Wow! I frequently play didj when I'm stressed angry etc and it always brings me to a state of tranquility and connection to the divine. By stress bp are reduced and I am more relaxed. I know that didj has a profound effect on the body's chakras. I often give didj baths where I play didj up and down peoples' chakras and they claim to be energized from the experience. Playing didj can cure sleep apnea. I am an asthmatic. I wonder if didj has positively affected my asthma. I rarely exhibit symptoms anymore. |

Circulating blood(pressure) liberating all ways need for breathing (nose throat etc) breathing with diaphragm thus good for the muscles liberating the mind massaging all organs by the vibration of the lips |

It is meditative so it has a positive effect also supposedly didgeridoo playing eliminates snoring/sleep apnea both bothersome things that cause sleeping to not be as relaxed as it could be. |
| Taylor White from USA |

Playing and hearing the vibrations of the Didj brings me to a place of complete inner peace 99% of the time. Concentrating/tuning in to the frequency quickly brings me to a altered spiritual state and is great for meditation and the healing work that I do. I feel as if it brings out the 'animal' inside of us all. |

I love the sound of the didj. If I had one I would learn to play it. I know it would have a positive affect. I would play it in our church. |

Leaves my breathing deeper and easier after playing. Mentally I feel much clearer and during playing the didj I can reach an ecstatic state of mind. |
