Night Sky Acupuncture + Ideaphoria

Liz Asch Greenhill, LAc.

I offer acupuncture and somatic work for transformational experiences, deepening embodiment, heightened creativity, end-of-life care, pain, and to regulate the nervous system. 

*

I do not manage care or do primary care. If we are a good fit, I can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. I am a certified herbalist and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan. I offer hands-on work as an acupuncturist and hands-off work as an educator on creative embodiment and as an assistant to help bring new methods of integrative creativity to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers. 

*

I am 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 in my office on East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel/Doug Fir. Or, reach out to me for my availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care. I work with individuals and groups (families, coworkers, creative teams, housemates).

I am fully vaccinated and take all Covid precautions. Please take precautions and cancel if you have Covid. Last minute cancellations will be charged a fee.

I am in-network with Providence, MODA, and Pacific Source. If I am out-of-network with your health insurance, you can pay up front and I will give you a superbill to send in to your insurance company so that they reimburse you directly. If the out-of-pocket cost prohibits you from coming in, please email me and let me know. If you are a community organizer for a BIPOC non-profit, you may receive up to four free sessions per year. Sign up under the BLM option for your free healthcare.

Emotions as Colors (before Bedtime)

Here’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.

A Cartography of Rest

We 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.

Drift into Darkness while Glowing

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.

Waterfall of the Hips

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. 

Ruby's Yurt

In this visualization we envision the ribcage as a shelter for both rest and play.

This one goes out to Ruby.

Fly Free

Feeling a little lighter?

Let’s amplify that sensation with this visualization to help you somaticize the sensation of freedom.

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.

The Down Dial

Turn the dial down on your nervous system to catch some solid sleep and bring your body into repose. When we invite the deep yin into our being, we can surrender our nervous energy and find a sense of peace.

An Explanation of Guided Self Work

This episode is not a guided visualization, but rather it’s a talk about doing this work on one’s own. I walk you through the way I use guided visualization as a practice in my self care. If you listen and give it a try for yourself, I’d love to hear how it works out for you.
