BODY LAND - Metaphor Medicine

Approximately 2/3 of our bodies are made up of 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 bring you back to 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. Active links on my website at Night Sky Acupuncture.

Keeping it real, keeping it surreal, and keeping it short. 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 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.

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.

Tune in to my first visualization for teens wherein we do several somatic exercises with visualization to move energy in the ribcage and diaphragm. Adults are welcome too! 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.

Our first visualization for kids! This exercise is designed to help kids feel surrounded by safety and tenderness as an experiential antidote to anxiety, worries, and fear. I recommend that adults do the exercise alongside the kids so that they can share their experiences afterwards. Let me know how it goes!

This episode is not a guided visualization; it’s an explanation about doing this work on one’s own. To learn more about guided visualization as a practice and something you can do on your own, tune in to this episode, and let me know how it works out for you.

We use the superpowers of our imagination to bring resonance and music into the body.

Using metaphor medicine we clear the lungs with a series of varied tactics and acts of tenderness.
