I dont know much about the shamanic aspects of throat singing, but
when I do it for any length of time I get into a very energized trance
state. It is a very enjoyable experience. a few times I have used it
in a practical way, like driving at night, I have gone for hours
totally engaged in throat singing. This is actually my #1 reason for
wanting to go to the conference. The breathwork is incredible too, if
I hadnt already done a lot of it then it would be #1. I think it is
partly the deep repetitive breathing in throat singing that creates
the trance. The vibrations and tones that you feel inside of you are
also a big part.
