Ranging from deep sleep to intense mental activity, we experience various states of consciousness everyday. This continuum of consciousness correlates with electrical activity in the brain; the frequency of brainwaves can be measured in cycles per second (Hz) with an electroencephalogram (EEG). These brainwave states are categorized as the following:
Beta: 12-30 Hz. Normal waking state in adults. Active thinking and planning. This is where the ego resides.
Alpha: 7-12 Hz. Reflective, relaxed state usually with closed eyes. A day dream state.
Theta: 4-7 Hz. Deep meditative state. A place of creativity and envelopment in the present. A dream state associated with REM sleep.
Delta: 0.5-4 Hz. Deep sleep. A place of regeneration and healing.
By simultaneously combining the sounds of two didgeridoos, we can induce a desired state of consciousness. For example, if AJ plays a didgeridoo in the key of Bb (fundamental frequency of 58 Hz) and Tyler plays a didgeridoo in the key of C (65 Hz), the difference between the frequencies is manifested as a subtle pulsing (in this case 7 Hz). The dominant brainwave state will sync with this pulsation in a frequency-following response known as brainwave entrainment.
Didge Project is a didgeridoo awareness movement started by AJ Block and Tyler Sussman. The didgeridoo is an incredible instrument that can be used in music, meditation and healing. Didge Project’s goal is to bring a didgeridoo into every household and to facilitate happiness and harmony on planet earth.
