The Tree of Life in the Light

Through digestion process, food is absorbed and converted into energy type which is required for our body. The nutrition absorbed in the small intestine is sent to the liver. And then the liver delivers the nutrition to the heart by the principle of “Gan-Jang- Hyul ( 肝臟血 ; bloods refreshing in liver) 1) ” and “So-Seol ( 疏泄 ) process 2) ”. Note 1) “Gan-Jang- Hyul ( 肝臟血 )”: Liver holds and filters bloods. Liver absorbs all the bloods in our body and then it stores them in the cells of liver. Through this process, liver cleans and purifies bloods. Note 2) “So-Seol ( 疏泄 ) process”: various stretching mechanism in body governed by liver. The mechanism embedded in liver, which makes it possible that we stretch our muscles, bloods spring from heart, various body fluids ramble from internal organs.   The nutrition included in blood is supplied to the cells and tissues by the blood circulation, which is the normal scientific knowledge well known in the field of western m...

The “Pyo-Rhi” circulation of meridian system, which is about the relationship between the exterior and interior meridian routes, is very complicated compared to “Jang-Bu Sang-Tong” (the direct meridian interaction among the internal organs). The energy exchange in “Jang-Bu Sang-Tong” means the energy circulation occurring in the same layers of meridian routes. The “Pyo-Rhi” relation considers the energy circulation which occurs between meridian routes lying in different layers, e.g., between a meridian route in the exterior layer and a meridian route in the interior layer. The circulation of meridian system in the “Pyo-Rhi” relationship is called the circulation of “Yung-Ki( 營氣 ; operating energy )”, which constitutes circulation in the twelve meridian system. Jong-Ki( 宗氣 ; the most prominent energy), which is the energy clustered at “Dan-jung( 膻中 ; acupoint which is located in the middle of chest)”, is transformed into “Yung-Ki” by the magnetic forces generated in hear...

There are many kinds of circulation in the meridian routes as follows: Ø   the “12-meridian circulation” known as “Yung-Ki( 營氣 ) circulation” or “Pyo-Rhi( 表裏 : relation of deep & superficial location) circulation” Ø   “Wi-Ki( 衛氣 ) circulation” managed by Lung Ø   “8-Extraordinary Meridians” including Conception Vessel (CV; 任脈 , Im-Maek, Sea of Yin), Governor Vessel(GV; 督脈 , Dok-Maek, Sea of Yang) Ø   Wiji-Daerak ( 胃之大絡 ; STGB - Stomach Centered Great Branch Meridian), which runs through Stomach, Liver and Kidney Ø   Biji-Daerak ( 脾之大絡 ; SPGB - Spleen Centered Great Branch Meridian), which runs through Spleen, Heart and Lung Ø   Other meridian routes which are not yet known in the traditional Korean or other oriental medicine books In fact, only 40% of the meridian system has been known to mankind, while the other rest has not been disclosed so far. Now it is the time to reinterpret the traditional theory of meridian ...
