Energy orbs are a great practice to help you get a feel for energy, which will provide a great foundation for all magickal workings, healing, etc. Plus, it's a lot of fun!
I've read about this exercise is many books, I've practiced it as a part of a coven, and it was even taught as a part of my Reiki Master training. It is a common exercise, but that is because it is so effective.
This exercise will help you to really feel, build, control and manipulate energy, which will strengthen your magickal workings. In fact, you can just use energy orbs as magickal working; I'll explain below how you can charge them with your intent and use them, as this alone can be very beneficial.

The best way to start is to first rub your hands together; give them a good rub, feel the energy building. What we are producing is what is scientifically known as kinetic energy, but energy is energy.
Now, pull your hands apart slowly, until they are a short distance from each other. You should still be able to feel the energy between your hands, buzzing away.
Now play with it! Move your hands further apart and feel it thin, push them together and feel the energy condense. Twist and twirl it around, have fun with it! When I was a part of a coven we would do this and pass the orbs to one another - you can really feel the energy as you pass it from one person to the other.
You can also focus on making this energy orb grow by adding more energy to it. You can do this by focusing on pushing some of your own energy out from your power centre, down your arms, through your hands and into the ball. Or, focus on drawing some of the energy from around you into your body, and then into your orb. How big can you make it?
With practice, you won't even need to rub your hands together first. As a part of the Reiki Masters course I studied, we first visualise a light springing from our hand, going straight into just pushing the energy through your body into your hand, or gathering the energy from your environment and into your hand. You can then create your orb from this.
Once you have mastered your orb, you can infuse it with any intent you want; love, healing, confidence, etc. You can then transfer this wherever you want. If you a charging a talisman for protection, you might want to fill the orb with your intent (protection) and then absorb the orb into the talisman. If you are creating one for self-love, you can infuse it with your intent (love), and then absorb the orb into your heart by gentle pushing it into your body where you heart is located, and visualing the energy flowing to your heart chakra. If you are using it to heal another, you can 'push' the orb into them. If are doing distance healing, throw the orb and visualise it travelling to where they are and entering their body, spreading to wherever they need healing.
Raising energy is a fundamental part of working magick, and energy orbs are a simple, fun and effective way of practicing. So have fun with it
