We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not offer managed care or 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. Seasons 1-4 are in English, and season 5 is en Español.

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.

Season 3 Welcome to Body Land Metaphor Medicine Guided Meditations

October 05, 2020  /  Liz Greenhill

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. I’m your host, Liz Asch Greenhill, and I’ve been using this method in my acupuncture clinic for nearly 20 years, helping people integrate salutary storytelling into their self-care practices, to alleviate physical and emotional pain, restore, rejuventate, and recharge. Try a few of these eco-art guided meditations that apply various somatic techniques and principles of Chinese Medicine to concepts from Surrealist art — and see how you feel after. Let mw know how it lands with you. And stay tuned for lots more visualizations! Cheers!

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.
