We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not manage care or do primary care. If we are a good fit, we can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. We are both certified herbalists and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan, along with bodywork and other Eastern Medicine modalities. Liz is also an educator on creative embodiment and offers virtual sessions to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

Liz is the creator and host of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, a free guided visualization resource on the podcast platform. Listen and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. These are deep listening experiences that require time set aside in a still, quiet place. They can be listened to in bed for insomnia, via headphones on public transportation for self-regulation, in groups as a guided meditation with an integration discussion afterwards, and so on. They are not to be listened to while driving or multi-tasking. Listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or download directly here on my website. Please share widely. These are a public offering.

You can sign up for a session here for one-on-one acupuncture at 811 East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel. Or, reach out to Yumé for her availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care. acuyume@gmail.com

Comencemos con una visualización basada en una sola imagen: una pluma. Esta visualización puede ayudarnos a enfocarnos y practicar el arte de generar sensaciones internas usando nuestra imaginación como herramienta. Es una interpretación creativa del trabajo de respiración, pero en este caso, la imagen es la fuerza que guía la conciencia de la respiración.

Bring this ripple-inducing breathwork into your pre-sleep awareness for deeper rest.
Read MoreWe talk a bit about the four levels of being (and reality) and how metaphors of the earth apply to the body. We tune into four layers of the body and coax each one into a relaxed safe state. Listen before bed and let me know how it feels.
Your body is a landscape. You have a river running through you. It horseshoes into a waterfall in the hips.
Rest into nature and into your body through this image of a river running down your spine. This is designed to help increase qi flow in the hips and pelvis.
Get soapy and a little sappy up in your head. This is meant to help with feeling lost or disconnected.
Let it be known I’ve been watching too many TikTok videos. Now it’s time to clear some energy and awaken to the senses. When we clear and clean our senses, we can participate in and appreciate the present moment. And that feels f-ing good.
In this visualization we envision the ribcage as a shelter for both rest and play.
This one goes out to Ruby.
Feeling a little lighter?
Let’s amplify that sensation with this visualization to help you somaticize the sensation of freedom.
Ultimate Stress Release Guided Visualization @ 10 minutes
Make a forest diorama in yr chest and feel all the feels of trees.
Loosen up your joints while reducing anxiety.
Floating on a raft in a bay, we practice feeling safe and secure, and the act of letting go.
Replenish yourself with the flavors of the earth.
Help protect and repair the planet.
And maybe support your local juice joint?
Tune in to my first visualization for teens wherein we do several somatic exercises with visualization to move energy in the ribcage and diaphragm, to land in our bodies with a sense of belonging and connection. Adults are welcome to do this too, of course. It’s really for anyone. Let me know how it goes for you! You can find me at Night Sky Acupuncture or on Instagram at Metaphor_Medicine.
