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.

Hola, queridos amigos!
Bienvenidos al fascinante mundo de la Medicina Metafórica del Cuerpo Tierra, creada por la acupupunturista y autora Liz Greenhill y llevada a ustedes en español por Udom Linthavong.
Imagina esto: visualizaciones guiadas que no solo encienden tu creatividad, sino que también calman tu sistema nervioso. Te ayudarán a sentirte arraigado y en sintonía contigo mismo. Este es un espacio donde la energía se mueve, el arte se aprecia, el lenguaje cobra vida, y técnicas de la medicina china se mezclan con métodos somáticos para que puedas dejar atrás la ansiedad.
Tan a menudo, nuestras imaginaciones se aventuran en áreas de miedo y, cuando eso sucede, es como si nuestras mentes secuestraran a nuestros cuerpos y nos llevaran a un lugar de catástrofe vicaria. Cuerpo Tierra está diseñado para ser un micro-antídoto a esa respuesta de estrés.
Read MoreHere’s another visualization to listen to before bed. to free up and bring movement to any emotions that might be hanging around stalling our ability to rest. We use symbolism to envision the emotions as colors, which lets them be energetic, as opposed to stories tied to thoughts, which take us out of the body and into the mind. So, just let the colors fly, float, wash, and waft through you, trusting in the process, the energetic release, and your ability to embody a metaphor as a way to change the way you feel.
Tune into your nervous system, creating a sensation of resonance through your whole body, so you can rest.
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.
The pattern of the mycelium network is around us and within. Let it transform into a softly glowing nightlight that protects you and feel yourself soften into a resting state.
Your body is a safe place. Coax your spine into this story and let it become something new and generative.
Read MoreWelcome back to Body Land Metaphor Medicine, an archive of guided visualizations that engage the superpowers of your imagination to help you relax and restore. These salutary stories are informed by Surrealist art, Eastern Medicine, and Somatic methods for self-regulation. I’m your creator and host, Liz Asch Greenhill. I am an author and artist, and the acupuncturist at Night Sky Acupuncture and Ideaphoria.
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.
Need some levity? Let’s drop it like it’s hot and be clouds.
Erase everything in the room. You get to be a cloud just like those dreams when you are flying. But this time, something special happens when you drop your baggage.
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.
