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 :hug:

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.
