Meditation in general starts with breathing control. Playing didgeridoo does exactly that. therefore... |
| Andrew Fister from USA |
Yes |
Essentially - it is like a cleansing of the body and mind. I always feel renewed and invigorated afterwards. |
| Ariane from Canada |
Yes |
A bath meditation session... AMAZING! |
| Brandon Barnard from USA |
Yes |
I believe that the didge is a positive vehicle for release and has helped me to deal with issues that I otherwise would not have consciously dealt with. If I need to let something go or want to feel peaceful then I just play the didj. It has been very effective for me in maintaining personal balance and clarity. |
| Brennan from USA |
Yes |
A feeling of an astral presence and a continuation of comfort and wholeness when finished then I pretend to walk on the earths toun gue before it swallows me and I become one with all beings of life |
| Brett Macfarlane from Canada |
Yes |
Being a spiritual medium I rely on visions and communication from the other side for my business. I find the didgeridoo allows me to ground and receive my own visions for my life when I am away from clients. |
| Brian from USA |
Yes |
I have always found the sound of the didgeridoo to be relaxing |
| Bryan from USA |
Yes |
Wonderful stress relief--if the day has gone badly it's a tie between didgeridoo and NAtive American flute for best way to cool down and relax |
| Cary from USA |
Yes |
Peaceful and harmonious |
| Cheryl from USA |
No |
I would like to try it when I become more proficient. |

Best sound journey and healing instrument in my bag of tools |
| Collin Jones from USA |
Yes |
I own a few different albums produced by various Didgeridoo players which I enjoy playing in order to relax my thoughts before I go to sleep. The music is always able to lull me into a peaceful state of rest before I do doze off. |

Yes |
The clarity of my inner vision is better. I 'see' pictures with my mind not like imagination though. When I close my eyes there is not black rather there are 'movies' of intricate designs geometries and sometimes life events. This is not like imagining because I have no idea what will come next and my thought is not ahead of it or making commentary. This is also not drug-induced in any way as I prefer not to allow drugs into my experience ever. I personally don't like the didgeridoo's association with a certain 'chemical subculture' if you will. I think the instrument has a power of its own that will manifest without ingesting any external 'help'. |

I've been really stressed and tense-and ever since I heard the didgeridoo I've been looking up artists that use it and been falling asleep to it. I love it |
| David from USA |
Yes |
I use it to meditate almost everyday. it calms me and brings peace and harmony to my soul |
| Douglas Hannay from New Zealand |
Yes |
Relaxation & trance |
| Drew from USA |
Yes |
Prior to trying this I read that the vibrations from the didj are supposed to be an aid to letting go of tension; the tension itself is vibrated out of you while you drone. I focused on this notion and tried to mentally see stressors falling away from my body. |
| Eric from USA |
Yes |
I play my didj when I need to relax and not think about anything other than the sound I make. |
| Eugene from Canada |
No |
I have not used it for this purpose but as stated above the experience is often very similar. I would like to explore this subject further in the future. |
| Gary Lockwood from USA |
Yes |
The drone takes me deeper every time |
| Graeme Hudson from USA |
Yes |
As above the longer I play it the more lost I get in the feeling of playing it - incredible warmth and relaxation and it always takes me back to my childhood home in central NSW. |
| James Miller from USA |
Yes |
Seems to put my in a visional trace and I could see things like I was there but never was. hard to explain. |
| James Miller from USA |
Yes |
Would get rid of all worries and depressions. wished I had one now but I can't afford the shipping sadly |
| Jared from Australia |
Yes |
Relax at home...calm myself..get in touch with nature and inner self |
| Jeff from USA |
Yes |
Playing almost always leads to meditation for me. The vibration of the didj reverberates in my chakras and I end up putting it down and falling right into meditation. |
| Jennifer from USA |
Yes |
When making basic drones and just relaxing your whole body it creates a sense of well being. You become the didgeridoo you become the drone. It's extremely relaxing after a long day of work. I love coming home taking a hot shower and sitting in my hallway wooden chimes combined with my didge is one of the most beautiful sounds I can imagine. |

| Jerry from USA |

It is a hypnotic instrument. after playing for a while I felt at peace. its real easy to re-program yourself when playing a didge |
| Jessica from USA |
No |
I've never used it. But if I could find a CD with it I'm sure it would be a stellar experience. |

Alone in the mountain against the rocks was probably the most beautiful sound I've ever made... |
| Joey from USA |
Yes |
After continuously playing the didgeridoo to meditate I feel really relaxed and solemn. I feel connected with the earth. |
| John Brady from United Kingdom |
Yes |
As I become more experienced I can begin to feel the vibration rather than the rhythm. I can turn away from needing to concentrate on what I am doing and experience how the vibrations are affecting my inner mind allowing me to create images and thoughts that have nothing to do with the "real world". I can allow my inner mind to travel its own journey without the contamination of the conscious mind. |
| John Heusler from USA |
Yes |
I use it for healing the soul |
| Jon from USA |

It transcends mere words. |

| Kenneth Brown from USA |

Just like playing for long periods of time it is easier for me to meditate when playing a simple beat using vocalizations and the air in my cheeks in pattern. |
| Kevin from USA |
Yes |
It is a very calming sensation when you successfully play the instrument |
| Kristina from Finland |

I have listened during meditation and it is one of must powerful experiences of enlarging consciousness |

The sound that the didj I've played on sounded like my "ohms". A nice clear deep vibration pleasing to the ears mind and soul. |

Last night being my first experience... I was able to feel pressure in the back of the head pineal gland area. Teacher who was teaching the spiritual meditative use along with technique said I was tapping into activating brain wave changes. |

I actually play the didgeridoo for a Reiki class taught by my friend's Mom who is a licensed therapist. Most people say they enjoy the session a lot more when live didgeridoo is playing. |

The didgeridoo music that I have meditated to is very relaxing and keeps you grounded while still allowing you to experience a nice trance; for me it has always put me more in synchronization with my thoughts |

I have listened to Michael Harner's Shamanic didgeridoo cd |
| Michael from USA |

It is a fairly powerful breathwork. However it goes beyond that for me and clears my mind enabling be to better concentrate and to be more creative when I return to normal tasks. |
| Michael Ivester from USA |
Yes |
I either play my own didgeridoo or listen to didgeridoo music for meditation. I listen to didgeridoo music when I do yoga. |

Just learning to play properly I have not obtained full control of my breathing yet but use the recordings in meditative practice on a regular basis |
| Nicolas from Chile |
Yes |
I feel my mind calm and my breathing harmonica like sound of the didgeridoo. On occasions when I'm in that state I feel I am in harmony with nature and I do harmonic sounds of animals without losing the state of peace |

| Peter Huber from Germany |
Yes |
Great lovely. Don't want to miss it |
| Randal Wilson from USA |
Yes |
Just like om the notes and overtones of the didge have the ability to center yourself and allow you to control your breath which leads to a steady heart beat and improved lung capacity. |
| Randy Schuster from Canada |
Yes |
See above lol I didn't see this question. I also love the focus and dedication it takes. its a very rewarding instrument |
| Rene Schippers from Netherlands |
Yes |
It is very strong.. The drone sound and then the melody upon the sound. The bas sound is in my experience the sound that God produces throughout my life |
| Richard from USA |
Yes |
Anytime I play it I always go to that special place of peace |
| Rodney Romano from USA |

The vibrations make me feel happy and relaxed and the sound is soothing. I feel healthier after meditating with a didgeridoo a few times a week. |

I listen to many many meditation CD's with didj. I love the drone noise and it really helps me center and almost "drift away." |
| Tyler Bond from USA |
No |
The only reason I have not used my didj for meditation is because I don't feel the one I currently have matches me as a person. I would like to acquire one that I naturally sync with after which I think I could meditate much more easily with it. |

It's like a spiritual trip in which you can heal personal wounds and at the same time connect your center with the "pacha mama" (madre tierra) and nature |
