The collection of melodic and primordial sounds experienced on the Didgeridoo Meditation CD has enhanced my practice immensely. Energy and sound have become powerful components of my treatment as a psychologist. The level of mind-body attunement assisted with the sounds of breath, didgeridoo, and Tibetan singing bowls provided on this CD have helped both children and adults in my practice to become more relaxed and balanced in their lives. The soothing, ancient harmonies touch the earth's rhythms in ourselves. Helping others to create a sense of well-being and harmony while reducing stress and mental chaos has come full circle from the ancient past to my current practice.

How it works

When your brain processes two different frequencies simultaneously — say, 100 Hz and 95 Hz — the difference between the frequencies is also manifested as sound, in this case a very low pulse at 5 Hz. By simultaneously combining the sounds of two didgeridoos, we can produce and control these low pulses. And the brain itself produces electrical activity in waves, which correspond to different states of mind. So with two didgeridoos, we can produce a sustained pulse at, say, 4-7 Hz, which mimics the brain’s own theta rhythm — a very deep meditative state.

Through a customized set of didgeridoos that we designed specifically for this album, we are able to take the listener on an Odyssey through consciousness, accessing a continuum of brainwave states, from the most active beta state to the deepest delta state.

Brainwave states have been categorized into the following categories:
