何谓正脉

What is Barun Maek

Anyone  can remember at least one instance where the answer to a difficult question was surprisingly easy. In these cases, most of the incorrect answers occur because the questioner’s basic intention is not grasped during problem solving because he or she is obsessed with solving the question.

If you only study the technical part of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements system completed by ancient Chinese Taoists by realizing the physical phenomena within the three realms, and could not understand the basis of their mind, the angle of problem perception and the direction of development will change.

For example, at a meeting, an acquaintance told me that her ankles and calves have continued to hurt. The spot was a meridian, which showed the state of Water Energy, which is the energy of water among the Five Elements. The acquaintance was quick to gather information, passionate about everything, and sensitive to the speed of work, so she sprinted. In the Five Elements, her fire, which is the energy of fire, was strong. The energy of the water evaporates if the energy of the fire is too strong. As the Water Energy related to the essence of life evaporates, it was noticeable that not only the pain of the Water meridians, but also her gray hair had increased and wrinkles have formed rapidly in the last 1-2 years.

Using the method of taking a foot bath in warm salt water by technically using the Yin-Yang Five elements only for substance expression will lower her energy and replenish her Water Energy to improve her pain, but if she does not reflect on her personality, she can create the imbalance that damages her Water Energy even more later.

In other words, what is important here is the perception that the creator is mercifully signaling through the human body to take care of our lack of spirit. The starting point and direction of development of problem perception change depending on whether it is possible to detect that a signal has been sent from ankle and calf pain associated with the Water Energy, to calmly look back on yourself, step back, and restore your wisdom that flows turning like water.

If you don’t take care of your mind and spirit, even if the problem is improved in the short term, it may cause bigger potential problems. The direction of development is also biased in this way if the Yin-Yang and Five-Element system is only used technically.

Barun Maek is a system that checks the ‘right pulse’ in one’s body, a life phenomenon, as an energy wave that recognizes various phenomena that the creator sends to the human body, which is a special being in the universe, to look at oneself and one’s surroundings.

If we follow that perspective, the human body and mind are controlled together as a unity, disease is regarded as a process of looking back on one’s life, and moderation is the starting point of practice. Each person sits and concentrates to find the imbalance of the Yin-Yang Five Elements in his or her pulse, and by substituting the six factors that affect health, such as breathing, warmth, regimen, exercise, environmental, and moral standards, one looks back on his or her life according to finding the lack of energy from one’s pulse.

It is also in line with traditional wisdom of life, such as diet culture including “Shaen Sheik; raw grains powder,” which people who wanted to find the fundamental principles of the universe through meditation and practice from the Shilla Dynasty in Korea a thousand years ago used as a means to purify their bodies, control their desires and save time, clothing culture that kept them warm by wearing many layers of innerwear, sitting on the floor neatly to be calm, the healing power of music that served as a role of medicine when there was no medicine, and the lifestyle of looking back on one’s “Virtues of life” when health problem was occured or the surrounding situation was rough.

In the ‘Barun Maek Research’, by analyzing traditional wisdom according to ‘Yin-Yang and Five Elements’, ‘Health’ has been recognized as a major window to understand and look into the manifestations of ancient physics, philosophy, and virtue 

Therefore, the Barunmaek Research Society has been developing for about 20 years by applying the wisdom of ancient Yin-Yang Five Elements to health-related aspects of human life, including diet habit, clothing culture, human relations, family relations, occupations and professions, with researchers who have become healthy through the application of the ancient Chinese science Yin-Yang Five Elements system understood by Barunmaek.

The Barun Maek Research, which began in 2007 at the Barun Maek and Health Society in Korea, is recognized for its value in cultural preservation in the United States and continues as the Barun Maek Search Society, which was registered as an international non-profit cultural preservation corporation in 2021.

In order to share and develop the wisdom of the ancient Yin and Yang Five Elements thought system, which was born in China and preserved by culture and modern practice in Korea, we continue to conduct one-on-one individual counseling, curriculum operation, publishing, lectures and presentations at educational institution events, and collaborative research activities with individuals and related organizations in Korea and the United States
