The Eight Extraordinary Meridians Of Chinese Medicine

Revealing The Secrets Of Space & Time: An Energetic Approach

The meanings within the character “qí” (奇) of the qí jīng bā mài 奇经八脉, or “Eight Extraordinary Meridians,” all allude to the inherent depth and vital significance of these primal and elegant physiological, energetic structures.

Any deep practice or study of Chinese Energetic medicine is sorely incomplete without the theory and application of this profound knowledge.

Separate from the 12 primary meridians (though connected), the Eight Extraordinary Meridians can be regarded as the “blueprint” of our intrinsic nature.

With formation beginning as early as conception, these energetic structures are manifestations of cosmological processes and are, literally, the foundations of your very being in the here and now.

How you move through your life, the decisions you make, and the relationships you form, all have their root in the development—and continued health—of your eight extraordinary meridians.

Deeply entwined with your cycles of growth and perceived passage of time, understanding these ancestral marvels is to understand yourself, your potential, and can guide you in actively engaging your personal destiny.  

Expand and deepen your practice by joining us for this two-part live online workshop exploring the unique theory and practical applications of the eight extraordinary meridians. 

Ancestral. Primordial. Marvelous.
