About me
I'm May Topaz,
Im a Didgeridoo player, therapist , mindfulness instructor and a DJ
This wonderful instrument called the didgeridoo or by its shortcut name "Didg" arrived in my life when I was 12 years old while I was traveling with my family in Australia.
I saw an old Aboriginal man playing the didgeridoo - and I fell in love immediately.
I promised myself that when I grow up I will learn how to play this magical instrument.
Later, I traveled the world for a long time, and about a decade ago the didgeridoo met me again in India, where I started playing.
The didgeridoo taught me and continues to teach me its secrets and the healing qualities inherent in it.
Long before I knew that about the existence of "sound healing", I began to deliver treatments using the frequencies and vibrations of the didgeridoo around the world.
The magnificent power of the instrument's frequencies on the body and mind were the ones that first paved my way to the world of therapy.
For the last five years I have been giving therapy using the unique sounds and frequencies of the didgeridoo.
Holds therapeutic spaces in the field of expanded consciousness, conducts workshops and performing in a wide variety of festivals throughout the country and the world.
The didgeridoo for me is an integral part of my being.
IT is my greatest teacher, my dearest friend, It connects me to the entire creation, to the great mystery of the collective consciousness and to my own being.
for me the didgeridoo is an endless source of ancient information and a vast and powerful medicine.
It is important for me to emphasize that this is a tool that is considered sacred for the indigenous people of Australia (the aboriginals) and I treat it with great respect and with deep gratitude to the wonderful culture that brought it into our lives.
The Didgeridoo
The didgeridoo is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, its origin is from the culture of the indigenous people of Australia - the aboriginals.
The didgeridoo, or in one of its many original names yidaki.
it is a wind instrument , like a hollow wooden pipe.
According to the aboriginal tradition it is made of eucalyptus wood, and the inner space is created by termites. The tree is shaped into a long tube and decorated with natural materials.
His familiar playing technique is called circular breathing (circulation). This is a special technique that allows you to play continuously and without stopping, by breathing through your nose and blowing into the instrument at the same time.
The mystical and powerful sound and frequencies of the didgeridoo have been used for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years for spiritual and ceremonial purposes.
Playing the didgeridoo is the aboriginal's way of reaching a different state of mind, just like in a dream, and that's why they call this state of mind -"Dream Time".
Dreamtime is an integral part of Aboriginal culture.
It is a spiritual and cultural concept deeply rooted in Aboriginal belief systems.
Dream time is "the time before time".
The time when the spirits of the ancestors created the world and everything that exists in it.
The dream time is a time of spiritual and physical renewal, a time when the spirits of the ancestors come to the people to share stories and teachings.
Dream time is an ongoing process and is seen as a living tradition that passes through the generations.
Aboriginal people use the Dreamtime stories to educate, teach values, connect with the land and nature and maintain their cultural identity.
As such, dream stories are an essential part of Aboriginal culture and heritage.
The aboriginals believe that playing the didgeridoo connects them to the dreamtime, ancient energy and ancient knowledge of their ancestors.
As I see it, dream time is not past, present or future. In fact, it is not time at all, dream time is a state of consciousness, and the gateway to it is within each and every one of us.
The quality of the deep sounds of the didgeridoo, and especially its low frequencies, allow us to slow down the brain waves, thus allowing the body to heal itself while in deep relaxation.
A little about brain waves
Brain waves are electrical impulses generated by the neurons in the brain.
all Matter in the universe is made up of electrical vibration and so is our physical body and even every cell and atom in the body. According to the laws of physics, electromagnetic fields are created around any body in which electricity flows. These fields vibrate, and the rate or speed at which they vibrate is called frequency.
Frequency units are measured in Hertz – HZ
For example if a field is beating 100 times per second (100 events per second) - it will be redden as 100 Hz, and so on.
.In modern western society, when we are in a normal state of mind, daily state of consciousness , the brain vibrates mainly vibrates in waves called beta and gamma waves
?Theta? Delta
.Theta waves -(4 to 7.5 Hz) is the frequency of the brain during REM sleep, dream sleep and during deep meditation
.Delta waves- is the lowest frequency (0.5 to 4 Hz) characterized by minimal brain activity and exists in a state of deep sleep without dreams
Alpha waves- (8 to 12 Hz) control moments of quiet thought and states of meditation. Alpha is considered as the "power of now", to be here and in the present of the moment.
.This is the resting state of the brain, like a car at a traffic light
Sound healing
A one-on-one sound healing session allows us to create a more personal space, and focus on the issues that the patient wishes to meet during the treatment.
With the help of the deep vibrations, frequencies and sounds of the didgeridoo and other magical instruments, we will enter together into a deep meditative space, slow down the brain waves and make room for everything that needs to come with love and compassion.
Private sound healing session takes about an hour and a half, in my studio or in your living room.
A couple's sound healing session allows you to embark on a joint journey through the depths of the consciousness and heart.
The couple session gives clarity of mind, thus a clear observation into your relationship, deepening the source of your connection, your love and increasing the sense of euphoria and shared tranquility.
A couple's sound healing session takes about an hour and a half, in my studio or in your living room.
In the sound healing workshop we create a common space together.
A space where we can observe the things that no longer serve us in our lives, and make room for new things to come.
During the workshop we will lie on our backs, relax from the daily worries, tensions and thoughts , and allow the familiar dimension of time and space to fade away. We will dive together into a wonderful meditative journey.
This is a unique time can give us a chance to clearly observe issues that accompany us every day from a different point of view.
A time that allows us to experience different and special sensations of the body, and is able to take us
on a very special journey
