I’ve Been Practicing Stone Balancing For 10 Years, It’s The Best Kind Of Meditation For Me (50 New Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I've enjoyed practicing balancing stones for 10 years now and here is a compilation of my best moments. All the stones in these pictures are balanced, strictly without the aid of adhesive, pins, or computer manipulation. "Nature’s glue" and my patience sustain them in these seemingly impossible positions. They remain in place through the natural force of gravity and friction. Before I leave the place, I make them fall so I leave no trace behind.

If you haven't noticed, my stones were already featured on Bored Panda once, you can find it here. I also love doing land art, and drawing, among other cool stuff, so check out my pages linked below, I'm sure you'll find something for you. Enjoy!

Stone balancing (also known as stacking) is both an art, discipline, and a hobby. There are a few different techniques and styles of balancing. There's Stacking, which is just stacking rocks on top of each other. Classical balance, where each rock is balanced inline. Counter-balance, where the balance depends on the upper rocks which weigh down on the lower ones. Arch is when rocks form a structure that spans through space. And last, but definitely not least, is freestyle, which combines a few of the aforementioned techniques.

MOTIF “Creation for creation-itself.” The subject is not WHAT I create, but more THAT I create. Curiosity is leading me through the art of living. I’m always trying something new to gain new experiences, new knowledge. I surrender myself to the current inspiration which definitely takes me to the place and moment where I have to create. I am glad that I can share my creations with you and bring some zen, love and happiness into your home. Miha

This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

They're beautiful to look at, but it needs to be noted that rock stacking is banned in most if not all national parks worldwide due to its negative environmental impact, and that volunteers in those parks have to break up hundreds of cairns because rock stacking is becoming a popular social media trend. (In Australia, disturbing wildlife habitat also carries a penalty of over $8000.) This isn't something that should be encouraged. He's not 'leaving no trace behind': if he has moved a rock that covered a burrow, for example, then the damage to the ecosystem has been done before he starts stacking. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/11868706
