Baoding balls are usually used for exercise and meditation, but are also good when employed for medical reasons. To use them for exercise, place two Baoding balls within your palm then rotate them clockwise and counterclockwise. Gravity will help you keep on controlling the balls. There are many exercises possible. One is trying to not to let the balls touch one another during manipulation, as advanced users do. Such users of Baoding balls can frequently use more than two balls at one time. Manipulating the balls in your hand not only exercises hand muscles, but forearm and shoulder muscles as well.

Alternative Medicine advocates believe that the balls are beneficial for medical reasons when they touch pressure points or acupuncture points found all over the hand. A practitioner of western medicine would find it hard to believe that such balls have health benefits, but it helps to realize that practitioners of Chinese medicine believe that all bodily systems are linked to one another. Chinese medicine advocates believe one should not just treat symptoms but rather should examine the root cause of the symptoms. In connection, Baoding balls could be prescribed by a Chinese doctor with a patient whose internal energy or Qi has stagnated and thus, caused the problems for the patient.


Step 1

Hold two baoding balls in the fingers of one hand. Depending on the size of the balls relative to your hand, one may rest between the bottom two digits of your index and middle fingers, with the other resting between your pinkie and ring fingers.

Step 2

Spin the balls clockwise -- if you’re right-handed -- by pushing one ball into your palm with your index finger and thumb while pushing the other ball toward your middle finger with your pinkie and ring fingers.

Step 3

Spread your pinkie and ring fingers apart and allow the ball in your palm to slide between those two fingers, while simultaneously moving your index finger to the right to permit the other ball to finish sliding between your middle and index fingers.
Step 4

Continue practicing the basic rotation until you can do so smoothly, with the balls making as little noise as possible.
