Stimulate acupressure points. Rolling both light-weight balls around in your hand, either clockwise or counterclockwise, stimulates the acupressure points in your hand and fingers. It also stimulates the wrist points, as the muscles expand and contract rhythmically.
Reduce tension. Just as breathing in and out regularly is calming, so is the regular movement of rolling the balls in your hand. Also, because your fingers, hand, wrist and arm are all connected, relaxation will even spread as far as your shoulders. Many people store stress and tension in their neck and shoulders, and using the Exercising Relaxing Balls is a simple way to reduce that tension and its negative effects on your body and mind.
Balance energy. Using balls like these to relax dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Also known as Baoding Iron
Balls, they were used to improve blood and energy circulation throughout the body. Stimulating the acupressure points described above unblocks the channels of vital energy in your body, known as jingluo. With the energy flowing properly, you can live more peacefully and harmoniously in both mind and body.
Promote health. Along with balanced energy, unblocked energy channels promote better health. Jingluo is vital energy, which is the basic foundation of all living things. A healthy system of jingluo strengthens your internal organs, insures that your nervous and circulatory systems are functioning properly, and improves your overall health.
Relax the mind. The designs on the Exercising Relaxing Balls available from Unique Feng Shui Shop are beautiful and calming. Looking at them calms and centers the mind, and meditating on them briefly reduces stress as well. In addition, an iron bit inside each ball produces a chime that is soft and soothing, yet solid at the same time.
Exercising Relaxing Balls sell for $10.75 from Unique Feng Shui Shop. However, a similar, less expensive product with the same benefits are Chime Eggs. These are made by Latin Percussion and are silver in color. The eggs are great for all ages, including children, and cost $5.00 per pair of eggs. This is the cheapest price I've found, from www.grothmusic.com.
Whether you choose Exercising Relaxing Balls or Chime Eggs, you'll see many benefits from using these simple and fun stress-reduction tools.
