Messagedidnot practice it so following is a speculation but if looking for non mechanical devices a low pitch sounds (like on ron diana cd or some tibetan chants) might be closer approximation than shaking the trees
moving the body to move the chi but humming the body to move the ching
you seem sure that stagnation issues are malevolent and not surfacing issues. this in relation to low temperature celebacy.
however you did once write on the rolling balls:
1.
rugby balls (american football ball)
comparison to chi roller:
-softer than the chi massage roller (wooden pole did seem harsh)
-larger contact area than the chi massage roller (thus in one roll/position one does not hinge only on vertabrae, but whole lateral line, which seems more appropriate as the whole area (back front and middle tissue) is being worked)
comparison to large small balls:
-hybrid: combines benefits of small and large balls, as in one plane its diameter is of small ball range, other plane the curve line is from large ball
posibble use to increase comfort control:
-using it laying on soft matress with optional cushion head support)
-using it in semi deflated form
-with cushions to stop, control the movement inside a 'safe' range of movement, it can be ok as a negative lower back stretch
2.
large joga balls
good for working space
(alternative is a chair with back support removed)
but offers little heat resistance
thus in prolonged seating a cooling effect
which is not necessarily healthy
solution is use of e.g. three layers of towel rugs to cover the top side of the ball
this creates new problem of the balls increased inclination of ball to roll away from designated space when standing up
but that is a healthy problem
