The 8 extraordinary channels

The energy system is reflected in the anatomy (bones, muscles, dermis…).

3 basic levels about the Extraordinary Channels are to be considered:

  1. a) the Extraordinary Channels as such, with their constituent points
  2. b) the master points of the Extraordinary Channels
  3. c) the cephalic control points of the Extraordinary Channels which are points from GB 1 to GB 9 (currently GB 13).

These 3 levels appear on the hand (photo 1):

  1. a) the thumb column is in resonance with the Extraordinary Channels and their constituent points. The control is done through a transversal interrogation at the bone level
  2. b) the 8 inter-phalangeal joints of the fingers are in resonance with the 8 master points. The control is done through a transverse interrogation at the bone level
  3. c) the head and base of the last 4 metacarpals (i.e. the metacarpophalangeal and carpo-metacarpal joints of the fingers) are in resonance with the cephalic control points (photo 2). The control is done through a vertical interrogation at the bone level.

Let us take the example of Chong Mai:

– for the Mx Vx level, a transverse interrogation of the head of the first metacarpal bone

– for the master point level (i.e. SP 4), a transverse interrogation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger

– for the cephalic control point level (i.e. GB 5), a vertical interrogation of the base of the second metacarpal bone).

To “read” the Extraordinary Channels on the hand we have to use the right “laser”. This laser is the transverse and the vertical interrogations; for the Extraordinary Channels it is done at the bone level. This palpation method is described on our site and in previous publications on this page.

The three levels of the Chong Mai on the hand

  • for the Ex.Ch. level, a crosswise horizontal interrogation of the 1st metacarpal head (picture 1).

  • for the master point level, i.e., SP 4 point, a crosswise horizontal interrogation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger (picture 2)

  • for the cephalic control point level, i.e., GB 5 point, a vertical interrogation of the M2 base (picture 3).

The palpation of the thumb column and finger joints informs the therapist about possible on this page.

disturbances of the Extraordinary Channels in the 3 levels. It also allows the therapist to assess the effectiveness of corrections once they have been made.

These 3 basic levels are completed by a superior level: the TEETH which concern the depth of the being.

The teeth are in relation to the organs and viscera but also to the 8 Extraordinary Channels which are themselves in resonance with the endocrine glands.

The decoding is as follows:

(the teeth are numbered according to the international nomenclature)

– tooth 1: Du Mai – epiphysis

– tooth 2: Yang Qiao Mai – pituitary gland

– tooth 3: Dai Mai – endocrine pancreas
