This is something that interests me, not only because of the meditation aspect but to also strengthen my hands. I would choose a set without the chimes though.

I hope that they are helping your husband. I remember you said he suffers from anxiety, too. Maybe if I buy a set my husband will try them, and if he likes them I will buy him a larger set since his hands are much larger than mine. He needs something to relax him.

Thanks for sharing this Mari

My hands can work the balls from inner to outer "pinky and ring finger" to thumb.
But I have difficulty starting with the thumb.

The littlest ones he has are ONE inch in diameter -- like a big marble I suppose.
They are the ones that fit my hand the best.
Perhaps the goal is to at some point try the larger ones.
but I try not to add more "goals" to my to do list.
