Didgeridoo healing

By JAGUAR SPEAKS 

MANY years ago, I read a book about a vision seen by the author during an “in-between” death experience that also involved a hollow piece of wood used by the Australian Aborigines to make healing sounds.  

As I researched, I learnt that this piece of wood was a didgeridoo. So on my visit to Australia (the first in eight years) recently, I determined to acquire an authentic didgeridoo, most likely the oldest musical instrument in the world.  

Cave paintings in Australia show didgeridoos being played in pictographs that date back to 40,000BC. In 2005, where the tourist dollar is so important everywhere and tourists want “authentic” local items, so often we find that “authentic” is made in some other country. Many didgeridoos sold are man-made from bamboo and are not authentic. 

Just as the didgeridoo has to be hollowedon the inside before anything can be done on the outside, so must we complete theinternal healing process if we wish to healourselves.

I found MY Didgeridoo – which now has a name “Jodi” – and made some significant discoveries about healing that I now share with you.  

The didgeridoo starts life as the trunk of a eucalyptus, bloodwood, or ironwood tree. While it is still living, termites eat out the inside of the trunk until it is hollow inside. When the aboriginal is searching for the right tree to make into a didgeridoo, he must check if the termites have fully completed their job.  

If not, the craftsman MUST WAIT. Once the tree is hollow and still living, then and only then can it be cut. The length of the trunk and the position (higher or lower) of the piece cut determines the note that will be sounded. The hollowed trunk is cleaned with water and then the outside is stripped clean.  

At this point, the craftsman paints the clean trunk with natural earth colours and always adds his hand print. The hand represents the presence of man, his work, his achievements, his legacy. It also represents the direction of the creative spirit through the man, as a vessel for the creator’s power. 

Mine also has a drawing of an echidna (ant and termite eater) to honour the animal that sacrifices its life to hollow the trunk of the tree.  

Beeswax is added to the smaller end to form the mouthpiece and the didgeridoo is ready to be played. Man-made instruments are shaped with valves and so on to create the sound as you blow. Not so the didgeridoo. The player creates all the sounds using the mouth, nose, cheeks, voice box and tongue, all simultaneously 

We have often spoken about our healing journey requiring healing from the inside out, yet in reality, we often want instant results and so we resort to man-made drugs that largely do not heal, and possibly temporarily cures.  

Just as the didgeridoo has to be hollowed on the inside before anything can be done on the outside, so must we complete the internal healing process if we wish to heal ourselves. We have to let the spiritual “termites” purify us first. 

The series on Towering Malaysians concluded two weeks ago was about cleaning the inside first.  

My role in writing these articles is to help you in your personal path to enlightenment and I am reminded that the path to enlightenment (transformation) is long and difficult. Our lives in this world are a journey through which we discover our true soul. I do not know each turn on your road, just as you do not know mine. In the end, we must all become our own teacher. 

It is the task of each soul on earth to find its own way, its own truth. Guides in many forms will help and guide us. 

Also while in Australia, I managed to see the movie What the Bleep do we know. It will probably not come to Malaysia but the study guide that accompanies the movie can be downloaded free at www.whatthebleep.com.au/downloads.asp 

What the Bleep do we know is an exploration of the world we live in and the world which we perceive to exist around us. It is a film which defies demographic pigeon-holing, transcending age, race and sex division in its all-consuming appeal.  

The root of the film’s across-the-board appeal may lie in its quest to shed light on the questions, which, as conscious human beings, haunt us all.  

There is something for every seeker of healing and enlightenment in this movie and its study guide.
