The Eight Extraordinary Channels or meridians are a series of pathways in the body categorized in the study of traditional Chinese medicine. The eight extraordinary meridians are also of pivotal importance in the study of Chi Kung, Tai chi chuan and Chinese alchemy. [1] These eight extra meridians are different to the standard twelve organ meridians in that they are considered to be storage vessels or reservoirs of energy and are not associated directly with the Zang Fu or internal organs. These channels were first systematically referred to in the "Spiritual Axis" chapters 17, 21 and 62, the "Classic of Difficulties" chapters 27, 28 and 29 and the "Study of the 8 Extraordinary vessels" (Qi Jing Ba Mai Kao) by Li Shi Zhen 1578 The eight extraordinary vessels are: Directing Vessel (Ren mai) Governing Vessel (Du Mai) Penetrating Vessel (Chong Mai) Girdle Vessel (Dai Mai) Yin linking vessel (Yin Wei Mai) Yang linking vessel (Yang Wei Mai) Yin Heel Vessel (Yin Qiao Mai) Yang Heel Vessel (Yang Qiao Mai) [2]

Chinese scholars started compliling texts in medical theory around 100 B.C.E. [1] [2] Through empiricism, and carefull observation they developed a point of view quite dissimilar to the 'causation' thinking of the European rennesance, which is the world view heritage of "the West.". In delineating Eight Extraordinary Channel healing perspectives, these Chinese scholors saw the world as
Fractalness is scaling self simiarity.:
- Social examples:
- Harmony at home => harmony in the town => harmony in the state => harmony in the country
- Physical world examples:
- The structure of Romanesco Brocolli and Van Koch Snowflakes
This is Yin/Yang balance or imbalance (Yin/Yang it'self) Two forms of yin/yang cycling were seen to also exist:
- Grace full or catastrophic transition between Yin and Yang
- Example: the transition between day and night.
- Things becoming extremely Yang, until they flip suddenly into Yin, this is sometimes dangerous
The healing perspectives and techniques of eight extraordinary vessels therapy are underpinned by pattern recognition, engendered these ways of seeing the world.
A german physician Samuel Hanneman called morbific influences the lot of negative influences in the human struggle for
- Nutrition
- Shelter
- Recovery from physical injury
- Warding off infection
- Manifesting Self and flourishing
- Assure one's personal liberty [4]
A fundamental and complimentary view of each human in the world is from Daniel Nevel... [5]
There is a continuum of harmony vs disturbance of Yin and Yang and the flow of Qi as they manifest in the body's fundamental energetic functions. Namely:
- protection from harmful influences
- assimilation of potentially beneficial influences
- incorporation or discharge
- storage and distribution of those influences that are usefull to flourished manifestation of Self
Each of these energetic functions is the domain a different extraordinary channel and is seen to occur at a specific level of 'deepness' within the individual
for an evolutionary system, continuing development is needed just in order to maintain its fitness relative to the systems it is co-evolving with http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/redqueen.html
