What is a Didgeridoo:

The didgeridoo is a wind instrument made from hollow wood. In regards of location, a didgeridoo can be made of any kind of wood. As long as the wood structure is suited for hollowing out. There is a legit estimation that around and about 40,000 years the original native australian peoples in northern Australia made their first instruments from fallen eucalyptus branches that had been naturally hollowed out by termites. These instruments are officially called Yirdaki. Other instrument alike but not from the Northern territory carry the name Didgeridoo. It is also known that the mayan people of Central America had a similar instrument made of yucca or agave and today referred to as “la trompeta maya” (the mayan trumpet). Even the Maori provide in there culture heritage an similar instrument, yet its design is more warrior like with an animal/aligator like end carving.

Modern didgeridoos are commonly made from eucalyptus, bamboo, and agave. In theory, any enclosed column of air, such as a PVC pipe can be made into a didgeridoo by blowing through it.

The Yidaki / didgeridoo is both a pitched instrument and a percussion instrument. Each didge has one fundamental tone as well as a series of overtones that can be altered by the lips of the player. The didge can also played rhythmically, serving as both a bass and a time keeping instrument.

Why use a Didgeridoo for Breath Training?

Despite all the beautiful attention Breath work gets these days in our opinion an fundamental part is missing. The abbilty for people, regardless of their status and skills to Truely train Muscle Memory that let you Implement new Breathing patterns in daily life. Merely becoming aware does not make you Experience freedom.

Learning to play Didgeridoo requires the Physical and Mental strengh to Generate Air Pressure. In order to create and Continous tone a player needs to Control the Air Pressure flow of it Inhalation/ Exhalation breating pattern.

To be able to achieve this the player needs attend a Full body and Mental workout. The continuation of the Airpressure Movement deeply Intergrates in the Respiratory Muscular tissue. The muscle use results in new automatic respiratory use of inhaling with open nostrals and exhaling true once mouth.

The airpressure trains the muscles of thorax, tongue, cheeks, upper back, lower back, abdomanals, pelvis etc. The unique soundfrequecies directly co-work with our nervous system and regulation of ones Fight & Flight / Rest & Digest response. The proper use of playing trains a new automatic breathing pattern and lets a person be able to step out of Shallow Breathing that up that caused much respiratory and mental suffering.
