The Art of Balancing Stones
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2019
- The very first time I tried balancing stones was back in 2010. I saw some stone sculptures in a park, when an old, wise man told me that it was a symbol for the balance of nature. I liked that idea, and after that I started making easy stone sculptures. After a while, I started experimenting with balance and I tried to make stone sculptures that had such small balance points so that it almost would look impossible.
I really loved that.
Both because it felt like a challenge, but also because it forced me to get really still and quiet, and focus on one thing only; to find the tiny, tiny balance point.
It more and more turned into some kind of meditation.
I hope this video will inspire you to try it out yourself! :)

I appreciate the lesson within this metaphore.. "when you find your tiny balance point the gravity will be there for you".
Thank you!
After watching this, my daughter and I tried stacking stones and rocks in our own yard. It is a wonderfully mindful and healing activity. Jonna - I found your channel when I was going through a difficult time. It has been a signficant part of my healing journey. Thank you for your stunning videography and messages of hope and love.
I hope your time ahead will be filled with pleasant experiences

But u learn something every time😊
I would try this but I naturally would end up crying out of frustration
😂😂same here
i wouldn’t cry i would just rage and throw the rocks 😂😂😂
Literally
😀😀
I would just blame the rocks
Admit it. She’s living the life we wish we were.
She has the time we wish we had, but moving rocks?, seriously?, she might be autistic or somthing
😂 why?
Easy when you have absolutely no responsibilities to do shit like this. It is impressive, yes, but ultimately unproductive to anyone around them as they get taken care of by their husband without having any children. Then they pretend like they are the ones with profound wisdom
@@bendover9021productivity is overrated.
You could easily practice this and still be productive in other areas of life anyway.
She said it might take an hour. Not 8 hours 6 days a week for 80 years.
Hahaha, you watch a couple of her videos and think you know a lot about her life?
Your channel is a real discovery for me tonight. A woman from my dream - whistling like a bird, balancing stones, swimming in the cold water....You're my inspiration, thank you!
her: balancing rocks isn't impossible
me: don't do that, don't give me hope
I’m sorry I couldn’t give it to you sooner

Why do those balanced stones make me so emotional? They are beautiful.
Because people are meant to be with nature and it's physics....
It's who we are....at the deepest core...
That is why....
Because it’s symbolic of the stillness at the center of everything
I live on an island. Every summer, there's some tourist (or maybe several different groups of people) who builds various kinds of stone sculptures. Animal forms or these pillars of balance.
The sculptures don't last long. Weather, mischievous kids or people who think it's fake topple them. But I am thankful to whoever makes them because I can't. Shaky hands since birth.
Keep doing it, whoever you are! I'm not the only one who likes seeing them! :D

ARAH i would’ve been 400th like but your comment wasn’t funny
I think that's the essence of life teaching patients and impermanence. I was thinking that too when I saw that clip and how much it humbles you atter hours and many times failing. I feel it can really stretch and test your patience and understanding that even if you do balance it. Balance is temporary and the stones can fall at any time without any warning with minimal force. I think it symbolizes inner peace so perfectly.
CraZed who asked?
ARAH thats meee
After this video I went on vacation and balanced stones and while I was doing it a guy pulled over and asked me if I was ok
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Did that really work 👼
Debosmita Deb yes!!! It was very fun too! I stacked 3 stacks about 6 rocks high each! They were smaller than hers though
@@adriennemoco43 aww wow that's a great thing which requires a lot of mobility n concentration..I'll try it too😶🤘🏻
She's living our true purpose. Loving the nature and having fun. 💚💚💚
I can just so much relate to this!!! As a seeker and a yoga practitioner myself, I see that this is just what we do, with our breath, with our bodies,...and in that moment, of perfect balance you experience the magic!, something so beautiful, something that words struggle to capture. And with time and experience, by learning the art and technique, that moment stays and lingers longer with you...
I would have definitely tried this... If mosquitoes did NOT exist.
😂😂
😂😂😂
I agree
lol same
IKRRR 😅😂😂😂
I too balance stones!! I have 3 small kiddos, so mostly in my yard when I need some time alone or peace of mind, but I love it all the same! I'm pretty sure my neighbors think I'm insane!! Out front, in the wee hours of morning, balancing stones.... Glad to see I'm not the only one who gains so much from the simplicity of rocks! But, there is nothing quite like finding a group of rocks that work harmoniously together. Also, what she said about "feeling" it, that is dead on! I try to tell my littles that when they get frustrated with a stack (of course my kiddos want to make a mini pile by their mommas♡), move it slowly and you will "feel" the balance before you see it. I highly recommend to anyone of any age!! It can be balancing, grounding, peaceful, tranquil, meditative, teach patience, be restorative, exuberant, fulfilling, harmonious, create stillness, a way to connect with nature, or sometimes many of these in one sitting, depending on what you need at the time💕
I love this lady, she brings peaceful feelings.

Whenever I need I good laugh I can go to any video on TH-cam & go to the comments. Wish I wrote this, too!
Her voice is so calming. I listened to the whole video 3 times, just to be able to listen to her longer.
You are like goddess of nature, like you know all that thousands of years… like you have created all the stones, mountains, wind and now you are here like human and you find all what you have created as goddess…
"If some people think that this is impossible, imagine then, how many more things there is in life, that we still think is impossible"
eXORY 👍
The balancing of objects is well studied and known. The next step is to accomplish the impossible. that, too, has long been known as magic. Both things had so far no special impact except the finding, there is something, somebody can not imagine and this knowledge is very modest. Some things are nice and some things are beautiful, thats it.
Impossible..nah..but useless 10000%
@@kekkekovich1423 many beautiful things in nature are useless in modern society, that is what youngster think, however, it is the opposite, youngsters are not longer able to see beauty (specially from nature) since it is not tie to $, sex, status, etc whatever you call it.

I love this.
Way back in the 80's when I lived in a student house, there were rare nights with no strange things going on.
But all the other nights, anything could happen.
One thing that repeatedly happened, was that party heroes making a last stand often felt they had the responsibility to stack all kinds of things from the floor, to the ceiling. Chairs, porcelain, glasses, wine bottles, potted plants and whatnot.
The early birds responsibility next morning was to carefully dismantle the beautiful but fragile pieces of pillar art made, a bit like a bomb squad.
I remember it as a meditation like experience to construct the pillars, and the impermanence insight when dismantling them, like a sand mandala.
No words can describe how beautiful it is 🌼

“Just go out there find stones and play around with them, have fun”
-Jonna Jinton
Plain Idiot you really butthurt about that😂😭😭
I feel more balanced just listening & watching her do it. Simple repetition of focus on just about anything helps you get there. It's a form of Mantra. I do it with music, walking, riding a bike, gardening, cooking & many other things. What I liked most about her vid was that knowing the balance she achieved would faulter & it was OK. As children we all knew our sand castle would wash away, leaving no trace that we were there, but it didn't stop us from building another.
Brought tears to my eyes. So peaceful. I want this feeling.

Shes balancing stones while i cant even balance a healthy lifestyle
delicious snacc maybe you can start balancing the stones and the harmony and piece will come to you
have a will that's all it takes
@gay short haired tumblr lesbian exactly, its like they're trying to be more comfortable in their miserable life. But if they would just work on their dream day in and day out they would get there.
Wow !
You people respnding to his/her comment (delicious snacc's) are complete condescending pretentious pompous arseholes.
I doubt very much that you yourselves, have no weaknesses and possess the willpower you accuse him/her of not having.
Otherwise you wouldn't feel the need to come on a TH-cam video, scrolling for a specific type of comment under which you can spit out your poison, and this just to poorly try to hide your own insecurities.

It meditation that I unlock any other, not to get frustrated and understanding that we are as permanent as this small frame of time before something or someone upsets it’s balance and destroys it. It helps me and helps me learn my daughter patience and understanding, not to mention spending time w each other without the stresses of the world and tech that consumes a lot of everyone and our lives.
