Up for grabs in this auction is a set of Baoding Balls made of marble. They are on the smallish side being about 1.75" in diameter. No fancy box here, just a nice set of exercise balls. Use them with hands or feet, these are the perfect size for the novice as well as the more experienced user. The thing that makes these unique is the fact that there are no chimes inside them, and as of the time of this listing, the only set made of stone on eBay. While the chimes of the iron ball do work well to stimulate the chi meridians, the noise may be distracting. Using the stone balls may be more discrete in public places. Also there is a weight difference from the iron balls. I only have a set of 2" iron balls to compare to, and each iron ball of the 2" size weighs in at about 8 oz. The 1.75" Baoding ball weighs about 4 oz. Make of that what you will.
As you become more experienced using these, you may find that there is a much more subtle influence exerted by the stone balls. I have been using these off and on for many years, and the peace and quiet of the stone balls may be reward in and of itself. Another thing I would point out is that if you are sitting, and put them under your feet to use them as a foot massage, the chime may not be such a usable feature.
A certain amount of care should be used when exercising with these little gems. Use them over a carpet or lawn. Try not to use them over concrete or other hard surface because of the danger of breakage should you drop one.
In my opinion, using the quiet stone balls while practicing deep breathing, and or chanting, and while focusing on shutting off the internal dialog has a huge benefit that exceeds the effort expended while using them.
Some of my customers are interested in buying these in bulk. I am not interested in going down that road. What I am finding to be of HUGE interest in selling these Baodings is NOT how many I sell, or how much money I am making, but in all the different ways that I can post these ads.
Thank you so much for your time in looking at these, good luck bidding and did I fail to mention that SHIPPING IS FREE!!!!!!!!
