Special or extraordinary channels are very important in internal cultivation. These channels start filling with qi only when the 12 main meridians are already full, and their act as energy storage pools. If the energy in the normal meridians decreases, then energy from the extraordinary meridians is redirected in order to balance the lack. Their practical storage capacity can greatly increase, however it takes a master in order to facilitate qualitative leaps. Unlocking these channels can produce miraculous healing effects:
