Lee Hayoung

Lee Hayoung has been a Barun Maek Member since 2022. She is originally a strong Water-Tree character. Even though tree energy was her original character, it was not enough to overcome her tree energy problems when she first visited Barun Maek. That indicates her sixth energy was depleted, so she had weak fire, earth, metal and even tree energy. Her poor fire energy caused chronic back and shoulder pain even after surgery for a rotator cuff rupture. Her poor tree energy caused pelvic joint pain that prevented her from walking and bad liver function was evident in her blood test results shown below. She also had general joint pain, including in the knees, which are on the earth energy meridian, so she could not even use stairs. To support these energies Lee Hayoung ate Barun Maek Saeng Sheik for two meals a day for one and half years, kept her body covered and kept warm to aid the healing process. Now she has recovered from her shoulder pain, pelvic joint pain, and knee pain. Her pain has decreased from the central part of her body to distal parts, consistent with Barun Maek's philosophy. Lee Hayoung reported her changes in 2022 and 2023 at the annual conference in Korea. See the photos below of her healing process. Her healing process manifestations are now moving to the tips of her fingers and feet. As a registered nurse and public health educator, she is willing to share her recovery story through Barun Maek Research Society.

Original Character

  • Profile– Water Tree Energy
  • Yang Energy Person

Results-

  • Supporting the Sixth energy through dietary choices, exercises that target meridians and keeping a warm body, she was able to overcome multiple incurable joint issues and chronic disc pain.
Before and After
Lee Hayoung's feet were initially all a dark color. At 8 months the dark discoloration was replaced with light patches indicating improved circulation.
As her foot recovered from the dark spots many sores appeared and healed. This is a recovery phenomenon.

"I could barely walk because of pelvic pain and I was angry all the time. Now I know this is related to my virtue."

RN / Public Health Educator
Before and After: Profound reduction in swelling and facial color change. Returning to her original skin tone. The after eye is more clear and able to convey normal facial expression.
Before and After- Finger and Toenail Recovery- Toe and finger skin color tells us about the quality of circulation. Dark color indicates stagnant blood at the extremities telling us that the person lacks the power to circulate. As time progresses the fingers and toes will adopt a healthy color or sheen when health and energy is restored. Nail health is a good indicator of health and nutrition. Brittle, discolored or fungal growth indicates poor circulation, health or nutrition. All fungus grows in cold and damp environments like forest floors. If there is healthy circulation in the body the toes will be too warm of an environment for fungal growth. This is a good indicator to watch to see if progress is being made. Top left picture- Shows a dent deformity indicating a period of poor nutrition or health. As the nail grows out we see that it is healthy. A clear timeline indicates when the person began to be healthy.
