Hi ! Thank you for the video ! But where can I find Chinese balls ?

spheres100 commented on 18 Apr 2015

I usually buy them from www(dot)baodingballs(dot)com

Leandro Conti commented on 09 Feb 2015

What size are?

spheres100 commented on 09 Feb 2015

They're 52mm :-)

Tottykidd15 commented on 04 Jan 2015

You do it so well it's mesmerising.. When ever I try to flatten my hand it just simply doesn't work I try to mimic your finger positions and everything 

George Butcher commented on 07 Jan 2015

It does take quite a long while to get to the point of being able to flatten your hand out. Just be patient and keep practicing :-)

Why are you whispering, speak up can't hear a thing girl

Thirsty Peach commented on 04 Dec 2015

+Nestor Gonzalez It's called ASMR, it involves whispering, if you didn't know.

Doing it wrong, suppose to be slowly and never touching, or maybe this is next level and I wasn't notified.

spheres100 commented on 28 Jul 2015

There are no rules, they are just balls. There are advantages to playing with them seperate or together, either slowly or quickly. I find it beneficial to practice both. It all depends on your intention and what you would like to get out of the practice!

Ethan Hunter commented on 07 May 2015

Any one ever get sparks off theirs? I get tiny blue sparks off mine when they collide?

spheres100 commented on 07 May 2015

That's cool!What sort of balls? You should post a vid of it :-)

Michael Rotis commented on 04 Apr 2015

That was pretty fking epic... I've just leant about these balls and am interested. How many hours of practise was that...

spheres100 commented on 06 Jul 2015

Are you talking about four with one on top? Or five without touching? I would be interested in seeing five without touching! Four with one on top isn't too difficult! Five with one on top and six with one in the middle is quite challenging to do smoothly. So far four without touching has taken the longest time to master to a satisfactory level. I'd love to get to baoding China one day to see what people can do there :-)

Yun Qu (Rock) commented on 06 Jul 2015

+spheres100 Great video. I like it. I was born in Baoding; I have seen people spinning 5 balls in 1 hand. They have show there...

spheres100 commented on 11 Apr 2015

It's in the thousands and thousands of hours. I generally carry them wherever I go and have done so for about the last 17 years. It is an amazing practice and I would highly recommend :-)

Michael Lugo commented on 24 May 2012

Thanks! I actually get comments on my patience a lot. I also teach as part of my job. I pride myself on having well rounded skills. I play guitar, know auto mechanics, contact juggle and use computers a lot, so I've always had pride in my hands. This is how I keep them in top condition. Photography was always a pastime, but it does take a lot of patience and perfectionism to line myself up properly for photos. I feel we can do anything if we have daily focus to achieve that goal.

Michael Lugo commented on 23 Jan 2010

@911bambam1 The ones in the video are 45mm. I've got very small hands. I have and can spin everything from 35mm to 3''. $10 is the average price for a set. 35mm is about the size of a golf ball, but you can still do lots of cool things with smaller balls. I can pass 2 pairs around in one hand. I'll be posting a new video of it soon. But for a person with large hands, starting with 45-50mm may be better for you. Good luck with them!

Michael Lugo commented on 11 May 2013

Sorry for the very late response, but I've been practicing with them for almost 15 years left handed and maybe 4 years right handed? I mainly used them to keep my left hand fit for playing guitar. I started righty after developing carpal tunnel in my right wrist, then learned more about their actual use and contact juggling which inspired me to learn patterns and more multi-ball techniques.

Douglas Bosso commented on 21 Feb 2013

Indeed, That's really impressive. How long have you been practicing baoding balls? I started last may after injuring my right wrist lifting weights. I mostly roll them together just to build strength. I play drumset so practicing baoding was a great way to help me get back into practicing drumset.

Patrick Dean commented on 12 Jun 2012

dude im so sorry but when you said "that is how i keep them in top condition" the first thing that popped in my head was you masterbate alot. i m so sorry for saying that i just thought you should know in a nice then a fagot troll say it in a mean way :( and btw i love the vid :)

Michael Lugo commented on 26 Dec 2009

@cuddlefish1000 Hahaha! Thanks! I plan on posting a new video soon. I've been practicing a lot of moves with 4 balls in 1 hand. I recently created something I call "passing pairs" where I move 4 balls around in pairs in one hand.

Abram Malcom commented on 23 Jan 2010

hey man i just purchased these balls but there alot small it was in alittle box that said zen balls and it was 10$ did i waste my money cuz there really hard trying to move them cuz i have huge hands and there so little....

Michael Lugo commented on 16 Aug 2013

Exactly. Start slow by just rotating them. As you get better and your hands become stronger, you will be able to do more at one time and different patterns. I have a couple getting started videos, too.

Michael Lugo commented on 18 Oct 2009

Absolutely. I've been using therapy balls for 10 years. They take quite a while to master, but so does any skill. Anyone can do this with enough practice.

Michael Lugo commented on 28 Feb 2012

@ballskin21 There's no music in this video. The balls have chimes in them. Is that what you're talking about?

ballskin21 commented on 02 Mar 2012

@Thisnomyp i know dude what im getting at is the chimes sound like balinese music

Meridian balls - Chinese balls, how to roll them #1

User Comments

Piotr Piotrowicz commented on 02 Dec 2015

late commented but I find with two balls it's tricky to get a nice smooth, consistant roll, I find it extremely meditative though to try and let them 'roll themselves' so to speak, you still use your muscles to aid the process, but aiming for the minimal interference/movement, and when you get that nice, perfect balanced roll you 100% know it based on feeling alone, the more intent you put into actually getting it right, the more conscious effort you put in, the harder it seems to be, kinda just have to let it flow,

T3chl3ss commented on 09 Dec 2008

Thank for the comment. I understand what you are saying and I would like you to consider an other thought about this. When I see someone frenetically trying to move the balls without touching each other I always advice them to roll the balls in a manner that causes the least strain on other muscles. Since the idea of the balls is to decrease stress. One should not use them in a manner which actually causes stress. So that is why I do not like that rule much. It is a nice thing to work towards.

TheCureZone . commented on 09 Mar 2013

These bao djan t'shou balls go back as far as the Sung Dynasty. It was said that these balls, imparted magic that gave a person wonderful physical powers and great strength. Sages would rotate these balls in their hands as they walked or meditated. If you want to increase yang energy, rotate them quickly in a clockwise direction. If you need to cool the body down, rotate the in a counter clockwise direction. Only 1 ball should be metal/magnetic. Place under feet to stimulate kidney meridians.

T3chl3ss commented on 30 Aug 2008

That is not much more then an interesting variation to rolling the Baoding balls. If you can do this without them making a sound please show us and explain how you do it. Stating "the balls aren't supposed to make a sound" is a bit short sighted. A lot of people find the sound soothing. It is the same as stating "the balls aren't supposed to touch", thats also an interesting variation. Anyone using the Baoding balls should simply do whatever feels good and then try to perfect every movement.

T3chl3ss commented on 30 Aug 2008

That is an interesting question. It is my belief that this is not true because I have dropped my Baoding balls a lot and have not experienced an increase in bad luck :) - Also keep in mind that rolling the balls around improves your health and for that matter your luck ;-) By the way... dropping Baoding balls, on a hard surface (like concrete) can damage them, but aside from that I think dropping them now and again is hard to avoid when you practice a lot.

MooTaters commented on 02 Sep 2010

@suspekt29 I started out the same way, but i took a few days of hard practice to get it to work. Starting out I spun them touching only and tried to get counterclockwise with both hands, then started working on not touching and counterclockwise not touching. Actually to be honest, my right hand took forever to teach counterclockwise not touching, while my left hand was almost able to do it perfectly after a while. It all just takes practice.

T3chl3ss commented on 25 Aug 2009

It really is no problem if you use your thumb, however if you would like to practice and improve the smoothness of your movement to eventually make them roll without touching I would recommend a different kind of ball. Golf balls for example are excellent to practice with (movie #7 (alternatives #2)). They have a typical diameter of 45 mm and are very light.

T3chl3ss commented on 25 Aug 2009

I do not think you need smaller balls although if you are going for a different set and would like regular steel baoding balls you could choose to take a slightly smaller size. This would be because you could not handle the 45 mm size. It is simply a good idea to have different size and weights for your balls. This will enable you to learn faster.

T3chl3ss commented on 25 Aug 2009

Thank you for your questions. I think rubber balls should be fine and an interesting variation to the metal Baoding balls. However if you would like to learn how to rotate them without touching each other I would recommend you practise with balls that have a smooth surface. That was you can follow the steps as described in my movies no. 3 to 5.

grassynole07 commented on 11 Oct 2012

For people like myself with somewhat smaller hands try flattening your palm as soon as you nudge the ball with you thumb in a somwhat pulsing movement, this helps roll the ball outwards further out to your fingers and also provides some momentum for the second ball if you have difficulty moving the ball from pinky to thumb

T3chl3ss commented on 21 Mar 2010

@GregIrwin2008 The hollow balls can easily be found online. It is however hard to find good ones. You want to make sure you get steel ones instead of brass with a chrome finish. I have not yet found a shop to have solid steel spheres. Most shops do not mention the composite used and you're left guessing.

T3chl3ss commented on 27 Aug 2009

My favorite size/weight is 50 mm (300 g.) As a guideline you could take the width of your palm and take half of that for the diameter for the balls. I have to stress though this is a guideline a 60 mm hand palm can also baod two 45 mm balls it would recommend practice with a smaller size.

T3chl3ss commented on 12 Apr 2010

That is no problem, although I could advice practicing to roll them without ever coming a part. Check out movies #3 to #5 in my channel. If you feel the balls you are using are to big for your hands check if you can get your hands on smaller ones. That can be very helpful.

T3chl3ss commented on 01 Aug 2010

@suspekt29 Everyone has a favorable way of spinning them around. With a little practice I am sure you can also learn to spin them the other way around. Check out movies 3, 4 and 5 it should give you an idea of how you can build up to it. Good luck!

T3chl3ss commented on 16 Apr 2012

I would say yes. For practice I would advise using balls about half the width of your palm. And then when you master a pattern/movement try it with bigger ones and progress gradually. I think mixing the sizes/weight up is a good thing.

The 1.5" magnet is extremly strong and needs to be handle with extreme care. Be careful when and if trying this yourself. Do not put this magnet near anything metal or near a computer or cell phone and this magnet could break a finger if you are holding it and it comes into contact with metal. I have this setup and I know about this. I have a 1.5" metal sphere and let it contact the magnet and I could not get them apart by pulling on them. I had to force a plastic piece between them. Be careful.

Michael Lugo commented on 25 Jun 2012

I've been using Chinese Therapy balls for about 14 years and can spin them quite fast without them touching. I can also spin up to 6 at a time in one hand. I have a few videos here on youtube. I've never seen anyone use a magnetic ball with a copper ball, though. I'd really like to know how it feels. The copper obviously is not attracted to the magnet, but what about weight? Are they close enough in weight to not notice? I'd like to buy one buy the magnet is quite expensive. Is it worth it?

Miguel Saeet Ramirez commented on 08 Mar 2015

The Chinese Balls Have Thousand of Years and And Only They Know Why They Did That Way Who Knows what They have inside??? I Used To Think That They Make some electromagnetic field But Ki is a enrgy without Occidental Explanation We Only Know It Exist Because we see Its effects And Only We Who Practiced Some Healing Art Or Martial Arts The Rest Of the World No 

spheres100 commented on 29 May 2015

I've been playing with regular baoding balls for many years. I have 2 sets of these copper/magnet combination. I rarely use them. They do have a strong effect, but the energy feels really heavy and I almost feel a little nauseous. Do you have any idea why? Or had any similar feedback? Would be interested in your opinion if you have any ideas. Thanks

Keithava commented on 02 Mar 2012

Found what I was looking for but the magnetic sphere has a 58lb pull. Powerful is an understatement..You don't want to wear a watch when you use this setup or be within two feet of your computer. The magnet is over 50 dollars with shipping. But it should be worth it as I use magnetic therapy..Thanks for the video on this.

Where do you get this setup? This is a good idea. As for healing what would be a good set to get? Natural stone or what.

Chi flow and energy is universal; your argument only comes from an ignorant and racist perspective.
