I went through a deep, deep, DEEP youtube hole to get here. You know what video I started on? The don't stop me now music video. Over the past 7 hours, I started at don't stop me now, and went deeper and deeper until I came to, realizing that I was watching a video about playing the jaw harp. The worst part is that I was pretty much in a trance-like state. I was watching, and clicking new videos, and liking, but basically sleepwalking. I basically woke up watching this video, except I wasn't asleep. I've had enough internet for today.

Instruments like the Jaw Harp and the Cuica were so prevalent in the music for cartoons and games when I was a kid, but I never knew what they were called or how they worked. I legitimately thought that the cuica was a vocal sample, up until I heard someone say "That monkey yell sound you always hear in tropical music for games, that's a drum" It's really fascinating to learn about all this stuff, I'd love to learn how to play both of em

While I cannot comment on that at the moment, I would add that there are many ways to help to immerse yourself in the experience. The one you stated is perfectly reasonable. If I was to add any advice I would say use your method, but also be kind and empathetic to all life surrounding you. Walk and play amongst the trees. Go to your garden and touch and talk to the plants. Rescue and relocate insects. All of these things before your harp meditation will help to deepen the experience. Play with your eyes closed. Surrender to the harp and abandon all ego. These are a few things that will, “immerse,” you in the experience, or sometimes called, “altering your state.” I am also fond of getting up and dancing while playing the harp for meditation, (not while on camera, lol). Anyways continue to do practices to immerse yourself. You never know how far down the rabbit hole goes. If you happen upon a hole in your travels follow it down a bit. Last piece of advice, if you are down to get weird, check out the book, “The Way of the Shaman,” by Micheal Harner, a famous anthropologist. Many of the things in this book and the exercises translate directly over to the jaw harp. I am about halfway through it and am loving the book and exercises. Enjoy. 😉
