With the circular breathing it has given me peace to sleep soundly and I just love the sound of a drone. |

I find it peaceful and meditative and it also gives me a great sense of satisfaction that I am able to play a musical instrument as if it involved notes and keys I would be lost. There is also something special about taking something natural to the earth such as a termite hollowed tree and with very little modification make a kind of music which allows a very special connection back to the earth. It is like a bridge. |

It's very relaxing when just droning but it can also be energizing when using vocals with accompanied dancing. |

It puts me in a trance when I play the didj. A world that no one can touch but me. And it is very positive. Some time so positive that it can be emotional. |

Can breathe much more "Freely " like being much less congested and more focused with using the nose. |

I have never played one. I will say just listening to one brings me a sense of peace and purpose almost like I've been lost but now I've been found. I would absolutely love to learn how to play not just for me but also for my four children too. |

I have sinus problems which prevent me from using circular breathing but I can do all the sounds. It's done wonders for my lung capacity and I enjoy a calming meditative effect from playing. I like to play on my back porch with a pot of mint tea. |

I hear it helps with sleep apnoea which I have and I am a singer and would welcome the workout for my lungs. I also have an idea that playing it could be very helpful in lessening stress. |

Physically: keeps sinuses clear breathe deeper & overall sense of well being. Mentally: excellent meditation tool for stopping the random loop "monkey mind" and allowing clean slate for reprogramming mind & energy fields. |

Playing the didgeridoo allows one to understand the resonance of their own body as amplified through the instrument. It is a way to feel one's core with their ears. |
