Hällö,
if you are interested in playing an instrument and feeling it's sound at the same time in your body, I suggest to find somebody or someplace with a gong. The bigger the gong, the better the effect. Than stand or sit down in front of it and play. In and slightly off the center are the singing tones, toward the edge are the 'wuuush' sounds. On some spots you might find both.
Gongs are great tools to experience oneself, since they nicely reflect ones action as sound. Strike quietly, and the gong will answer quietly. Hit it really hard, and a huge wave of sound will blast back at you. (That's why I suggest using a big gong).
If your didge and the gong seem to be more or less in tune, play your didge while stricking the gong following your feeling. Soon you will be journeying through inner spaces!
For the self-explorers I would like to suggest the 'fearmeter' method:
Play a gong while slowly increasing the volume and feel-observe your inner 'stress-levels'. If you feel fear, panic or other emotional stress, you can choose to lower the volume, to keep it or to increase it. If you have the opportunity, try this regulary, it is a great experience.
Namasté
PS: Good gongs, especially the bigger ones, are rather expensive, but they are also amazing instruments, that require neither musical knowledge, nor playing techniques. Just like a didge.
