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 MoreThe 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 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.
Work your head’s inner teardrop until it glows up your brain.
This one’s like a brain massage. But anywhere you got a gland you can do this. Don’t stop here. Google glands and keep going.
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.
Calm stress and ease anxiety while nourishing your neck and back. This is a 12 minute guided visualization.
Find yourself in a quiet stream in the forest where everything aligns around and within.
Together we centrifuge the heart clean and clear with a shimmy-ing hula hoop of UV light. Wut.
Read MoreMake a palapa in your pelvis. Really. It feels so good. Especially for lower back pain and gynecological conditions. Under 7 minutes.
Your sacrum is a shovel-shaped bone between your spine and your tailbone. It is cupped like a palm. Settle in to a peaceful vacation deep in your own body.
Replenish yourself with the flavors of the earth.
Help protect and repair the planet.
And maybe support your local juice joint?
Approximately 2/3 of our bodies are water. In Chinese Medicine, water is the yin energy that anchors us, calms us, and replenishes our nervous system. Take a plunge into some fresh natural river imagery to refill your 67%.
Feeling grateful for water? Make a donation to help clean up the Verde River in Arizona, the Lower Snake River in Washington, and support the Waterkeeper Alliance.
Keeping it real, keeping it surreal, and keeping it brief. Let’s do more with less with a season of extra shorty visualizations for the now. Wishing you good health, good luck, and composure for the continued intensity of 2020.
This visualization goes out to the leaders working for positive change. Thank you for your efforts, your passion, and your sacrifices. We use metaphor as medicine to land in our bodies. We send ripples through the body with our breath, ignite the heart, and entrust the pelvis and the mind to support our nervous system so we can rest and recharge.
Feeling a bit drained these days? Working on your hashtag boundaries? We’ve got some six feet of separation self-care for ya. I talk super briefly about how fractal patterns of self:other are part of the body’s defenses from the perspective of Chinese Medicine and then we drop into a super soothing visualization that helps you disentangle your energy from others which ultimately benefits your immune system.
Read MoreTune 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.
