These little things are a nifty piece of gear to have, even if you have no physical needs that would require them.

The balls have baffles in them, and these make a nice sound as they rotate and move. While making the sounds, there are small vibrations on your hand as the balls move.

A point of note, is that you should start using them over a soft surface, such as a cushion or your sofa. It is common to lose one and have it fall when you first learn to use them. Dropping them on hard surfaces can damage them.

Also, contrary to advice given sometimes, you should not shake them, as this can also damage the baffles inside.

Start with two at the same time, and after some time, you can increase them to three or even four, (with one sitting on top of the bottom three).

These balls really work, and after a few minutes, your hands and body will feel very relaxed. I was very surprised with the results, to be honest. They are also great for developing your hand skills in manipulating them without the "clank" of balls hitting together.

I use these balls before and after I practice. I have trigger finger in both index fingers and the pain and symtons have diminished. Now I can play my guitar much longer without my hands going numb. Using these balls have helped me continue playing the guitar which has been part of my life for over thirty years. Thank you.

My grandma had gotten a couple in her trip to China and brought home over 10 boxes o.O No idea how she carried them, but very useful after a long typing session or any other time. Really helps after constant typing or writing.

I bought this for my uncle who says this is the only thing that helps him with his arthritic hands.

I searched high and low for the right pair of 'healthy' stress balls and when I saw these, I knew they would be perfect! I loved them and so does my wife. The balls are amazing and the holding case is just beautiful. The are great for use or decoration. I'm very happy with this purchase and hope to make more in the future.

Having read the various reviews on these healthy balls, I decided to give them a try, which seemed reasonable for the Amazon ratings and the price. The ideas of stress relief, of skill building / dexterity, and of pain reduction for working / busy hands appealed to me too because I do a lot of typing and other specific handiwork such as learning to wood carve and needle felt. (I have eclectic interests! LOL ) Additionally, being a huge fan of mythology, of world cultures, of Eastern ideas, and of art, I loved the inspiring phoenix and dragon designs.

I received the healthy balls today, and I was most impressed! They arrived in an elegant storage box. Each ball, smooth and heavy, was as much as a piece of art as a functioning product for relaxation. A little direction booklet, "Iron Ball Direction," was included. It contained text in both Chinese and English, which was a most interesting experience! The statement from this booklet that captured my attention immediately was this: "Of a pair of balls, one sounds high and one low." Of course, that fact just begged to be tested! :) I love the subtle, complementary bell-like sounds that balls make as I carefully rotate them in my hand, and when I move them, I can feel the sounds' vibrations passing from the metal balls into my hand. This vibration does have a calming affect and offers the meditator something to focus on during his / her meditation session.

These healthy balls are worth getting if you want to treat your hands to gentle, but effective exercises, and I look forward to relaxing with them each day.

Note: if you have small hands, these balls might be a handful, especially if your a a beginner to this type of therapy. Small-handed people might prefer to begin with smaller balls such as those in the Running Press Zen Meditation Balls mini kit, which is available on Amazon.

I ordered these as a part of a gift. Ups somehow messed up and marked my order as "undeliverable". I wrote an email to the store and got a reply within minutes. The representative stayed in contact with me until the very end. She had to resend me the order, and even after I received my purchase, she gave me a call to make sure I got everything I needed. I was extremely satisfied with my purchase and pleasantly surprised at the extent of customer service that I received.

I used to work as a massage therapist so my hands would get really tired. This is a great way to both revive hands and get them warmed up in the first place. Really helps if you're a typist also. I am doing desk work now and leave them on my desk for when I get fatigued or need a little break. Have been using them for years and they work well for me.

These are a really great gift for anybody. I got this to help with a nerve issue in my left arm, it has helped to relieve a lot of the issues I have been having with my arm. These will help you to control every point of your hand. I can't stress enough that these are a great product.

Thanks,

These meditation balls are lovely. They are of good weight and the design on them is very nice. I would definitely recommend them.
