Didgeridoo, breathwork, and the art of breatwork.
A powerful tool to reconnect with yourself through body, mind, and soul.
Through 24 years of didgeridoo playing, performing, teaching, crafting, and selling, I have met many people on this path. The main questions I often get asked are how I first encountered this instrument and how it became so deeply involved in my life.
This instrument has great teaching potential if you are interested in understanding yourself as an organism and how you function. First of all, this instrument originates from various Indigenous tribes in the northern part of Australia.
It is a wind instrument that is played with your breath. This breath is taken in by our entire respiratory system, involving the organs that are directly connected to this process: lungs, diaphragm, vocal cords, tongue, jaw, cheeks, and lips — all of which are directly involved — along with many muscles and tissues that function within your breathing system.
I see myself and everything that lives as an extremely evolved species. The way creation has designed us is beyond incredible. Our body, organs, and cells represent the pinnacle of evolutionary design.
The didgeridoo, or one of its original names, Yidaki, is meant to be played with your body. It is a different approach compared to all other instruments, as the didgeridoo needs to be played with your entire respiratory system. The body becomes the instrument, pulsing and vibrating through very complex, parallel-functioning muscles, organs, and tissues.
This instrument holds timeless wisdom for us. Aside from the cultural and spiritual significance for the traditional and original owners down under, this instrument comes with a manual that teaches us how to use the body as a complex instrument in symbiosis with a seemingly simple instrument like the didgeridoo.
What a wonderful tool to vibrate yourself into the ether and give people an earthly sense of self.
Playing didgeridoo is breathwork from another level!
