Objectives: Brainspotting is a relatively new type of brain-body psychotherapeutic approach discovered and developed by David Grand. The objective of this study was to introduce possible clinical application of Brainspotting in Korean medicine. Methods: The background, basic tools, standard processes, and principles of Brainspotting are presented mainly in reference to "Brainspotting: The revolutionary new therapy for rapid and effective change" published by David Grand. Results: There are many similarities between Brainspotting and Korean medicine, such as Mind-Body holism, non-prejudiced attitude of therapist like Tao and wu-wei, and the importance of the eyes to the mind. They also share similarities in methods such as Iijungbyunqi and Qigong. Conclusions: Brainspotting is expected to be applied to Korean medicine in various forms. It needs to be researched more in the future.
