Sensory Stimulation

The harmonic sounds and vibrations of the didgeridoo can be felt and heard and helps to recharge the brain, stimulate the senses and helps us to feel relaxed and revitalised.

Auditory Stimulation

Dr Alfred Tomatis, a specialist in Otolaryngology discovered that the larynx can only emit sounds that the ear can detect. In other words we can only vocalise the sounds that our ear can hear. This theory became known as the the Tomatis Effect.

He describes the role of the ear is to:

1. Maintain balance so that movement and sensory information can be integrated.

2. Analyse and intepret external sounds and internal vocal sounds so that we can establish auditory and vocal balance.

3. Charge the brain.

Stimulation of the ear to hear a broader range of frequencies may lead to improved hearing, communication, concentration and the expression of self.

Physical Stimulation

The vibrations of the didgeridoo travel effortlessly through the physical body as we are made up of around 70% water which is an excellent conductor of sound. Stimulation of the skin, joints, bones and muscles may improve the range of movement and ease pain and tensions. The body is made up of various organs that all need to work together in harmony much like an orchestra. The didgeridoo may help bring these organs back to a state of harmony and therefore lead to improved health and well-being.

Charge the Brain

Many clients report that they feel recharged but also feel a sense of deep peace as the vibrations of the didgeridoo lowers the brain waves to theta and delta states of frequency which are associated with meditation, deep sleep and trance states.

Didgeridoo Sound Therapy may be of benefit for a broad range of sensory impairments, autistic spectrum, profound and multiple learning disabilities, mental health, stress and related illnesses, physical disabilities and dementia.
