                        Playing has a calming effect where you can allow your mind to simply flit from one thing to another. I suppose it's a sort of meditation although I'm not into that in its strictest meaning. |

                        It has a positive effect | 
                        After playing for awhile and circular breathing I feel relaxed and my lungs feel nice and exercised. |

                        It has a very positive effect | 
                        Increase lung capacity. Controlled breathing to assist in maximum oxygen intake/carbon exhaust. All music or controlled sounds regardless of the singular feeling promote an overall feeling of satisfaction which in turn reduces stress and tension (provided you like the sounds). |

                        It has a positive effect | 
                        The circular breathing technique can lessen the severity of the symptoms of sleep apnea and other breathing problems. Also playing the didge has a personal euphoria. it relaxes me and gives me a pleasant attitude and mood. |

                        I hear it is wonderful for the physical health as well as mental health. I find it hypnotic and relaxing. |
