The meridian system (simplified Chinese: 经络; traditional Chinese: 經絡; pinyin: jīngluò, also called channel network) is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) about a path through which the life-energy known as "qi" flows.
Meridian therapy is a traditional Chinese medical practice that's based on restoring optimal energy flow throughout the 12 meridians in your body. Those meridians act as a kind of energy highway within your body. ... Meridian therapy restores your energy flow using gentle and natural hands-on acupressure methods.

Eight extraordinary meridians
The eight extraordinary meridians are of pivotal importance in the study of Qigong, T'ai chi ch'uan and Chinese alchemy. These eight extra meridians differ from 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, i.e. internal organs. These channels were first systematically referred to in the "Spiritual Axis"
The eight extraordinary vessels are (奇經八脈; qí jīng bā mài):[7]
1. Conception Vessel (Ren Mai) - 任脈; rèn mài
2. Governing Vessel (Du Mai) - 督脈; dū mài
3. Penetrating Vessel (Chong Mai) - 衝脈; chōng mài
4. Girdle Vessel (Dai Mai) - 帶脈; dài mài
5. Yin linking vessel (Yin Wei Mai) - 陰維脈; yīn wéi mài
6. Yang linking vessel (Yang Wei Mai) - 陽維脈; yáng wéi mài
7. Yin Heel Vessel (Yin Qiao Mai) - 陰蹻脈; yīn qiāo mài
8. Yang Heel Vessel (Yang Qiao Mai) - 陽蹻脈; yáng qiāo mài
