I guess I didn’t know too much about didgeridoo, and I want to say that I was pleasantly surprised that this instrument is powerful in creating a space for deep meditation. I really appreciated the continuous sound of the instrument and the simple drumming.

I have listened and journeyed with your recordings for over a year and only now found this one. I highly recommend it. Just the right tempo and remarkably steady. I feel the accompanying music would be useful for lower world journeys. Thank you for this and all your work. Good medicine.

I’m still practicing. I like that it was short because sometimes I don’t feel I have the time for the longer ones.

I really love this one! The beats are consistent yet it sounds like a live recording, the tone of the drum was nice and low (but not too low), and it has a call back at the end. Exactly what I was looking for-- thank you!
