Good Afternoon,

I have been looking into different ruler and taiji ball exercises to assist with different aspects of my practice. For those with experience, what is a good solo introduction to the work?

My current goal is to become proficient holding the tools in the center of the palms and circling in vertical and horizontal planes, eventually hoping to work into a figure eight pattern.

What would be some pitfalls to watch out for? I imagine being aware not to over-extend so the postural alignment is maintained and utilizing the breath in the similar inhale/expand exhale/contract pattern.

Tips or recommendations from experienced users of these tools would be appreciated.

Thank you,
