What are we loving these days?? FARM FRESH EGGS!!
The color of the yolks in these eggies are *chef’s kiss* gorgeous and, lucky for you, we are selling batches in the lobby of our clinic!

For over ten years, Amy has been lucky to have an amazing farmer deliver farm-fresh free-range eggs to her house each week. Unfortunately, he's now being targeted for his skin color and accent, despite being a naturalized US citizen, and unable to make deliveries.

🥚🍳So, the clinic has offered to be a pick-up site for his delicious local eggs - which means you can now buy amazing eggs in our waiting room! 🍳🥚

We've already sold through over 20 dozen since bringing them in and Amy will be picking up more from him on the regular so there will be a fresh batch at the clinic. One dozen free-range eggs costs $6.50 and can be paid directly to him via Venmo at time of purchase.

If you’re finding it hard to remember to eat or meal planning and prepping feels like too much right now, eggs are a quick, easy, and affordable source of protein that many of our practitioners rely on.

Check out the info on the amazing care these chickens get and please consider supporting his farm (and your body!) with these eggs. Bon appetite!

We have another mutual aid fundraiser opportunity where your donations for care help support our local community: GROUP ACUPUNCTURE & MASSAGE THERAPY!

This event features both group acupuncture (also known as community-style acupuncture) and massage therapy, allowing attendees to receive care at a lower price point than private treatment while also paying it forward to those in need.

Constellation acupuncturists Steph, Virginia, and Emily will be providing the NADA ear acupuncture protocol, which is a set of points that is useful for stress management, anxiety, fear, and agitation. Lexi will be providing chair massage to reduce tension and restriction in your tissues.

These sessions are a great way to support your body in recovering from stress, to receive acupuncture or massage for the first time, or simply to enjoy a moment of pause in a shared healing space with others.

📅WHEN: Fridays, Feb 6, Feb 13, and Feb 27 from 9:30am - 11:30am *you’ll sign up for a timeslot
📍WHERE: Constellation Classroom / 2817 Anthony Lane South #102, Mpls 55418
🎒WHAT TO BRING: Just bring yourself! Please make sure you eat something in the morning before receiving treatment. You’ll be fully clothed for both treatments.
💵COST: This offering is intentionally sliding scale, making symptom management, rest, and care more accessible to our community. Standard rate is $25, sliding scale of $0-$50. When registering, add additional funds as desired, or to reduce the rate, use code ACCESS to lower to $12.50 or NOCOST to lower to $0. No one is turned away due to lack of funds.

⭐All proceeds from this event will be donated to Women’s Foundation of Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund for urgent basic needs, legal aid, and other emerging needs of individuals and families impacted by ICE occupation. ⭐

Accessibility: Patients will be treated on massage tables, zero gravity chairs, or massage chairs at this event. A stool will be available to help patients get up on the massage table, if needed. Treatment can also easily be provided to patients in a wheelchair. Masks will be available for patients who desire them.

If you have questions about this event, call 612-339-5088 or email us at info@constellationacu.com and please share with anyone who might benefit from a little Friday morning TLC!

Cold feet are incredibly common here in our northern climate, especially if you’re spending any extra amount of time outdoors showing up for our neighbors with a collection of actions.

And while you might be someone whose toes routinely feel like tiny ice cubes even whilst indoors, that doesn't mean you're destined for a lifetime of chilly extremities.

From a Chinese medicine lens, cold hands and feet can show up for lots of different reasons - and they're usually part of a bigger constellation of symptoms.

Once we understand WHY your feet are cold (aka your underlying pattern), we can create a customized plan to warm things up. Acupuncture, herbs, food therapy, breathwork, cupping, self-massage…the tool list is long and cozy.

If your feet consistently run cold or if you’re looking for ways to feel more grounded during these chaotic times, here are a few simple at-home practices we often recommend:

🧦COVER UP
Wear socks. Wear slippers. Wear socks AND slippers. Your feet need layers: cute socks and leg-warmers for the win. And if you're outside, keep those ankles covered.

🦶SOAK YOUR FEET
A warm water foot soak boosts circulation to your feet, legs, and pelvic organs (yes, it's all connected). Add freshly grated ginger, ground ginger, or a little ground mustard to make it extra warming and deliciously aromatic.

👣FOOT CHAFING
A quick, vigorous rub on the soles of your feet can work wonders for warmth and circulation. Sit comfortably, bring one foot up, and use the opposite hand to rub from the ball of the foot toward the ankle. Aim for about 100 passes - or just until everything feels toasty and alive. Relax your shoulders, remember to breathe, and repeat on the other side.

🌬️BREATHE
One common reason for cold hands and feet is that the body's warming yang energy gets stuck in the torso and doesn't fully circulate to the limbs. Breathwork is a powerful way to move that qi. Slow breaths, fast breaths, deep breaths - any intentional breathing practice helps mobilize warmth from your core to your fingers and toes. This can also be an incredibly grounding practice during times of high stress or anxiety.

Want more ways to warm your feet (and the rest of your body, mood, digestion, and energy, too)? Come see us at the clinic for an acupuncture appointment. We love helping people thaw - from the inside out.

01/31/2026

We asked the whole clinic team how they are staying grounded and resourced these days. Here’s the list in case something jives with what you need too:

▪️I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier
▪️Body scanning
▪️DBT big mind/small mind practice
▪️Staying off the dang internet and only opening Star Trib emails
▪️Screaming to the wind and asking her to hold my grief
▪️Calling in my guides before I treat patients
▪️Reading “Liberated to the Bone” by Susan Raffo
▪️Playing singing bowls
▪️Slow movements and stretching
▪️Puzzles and beadwork
▪️Journaling
▪️Spending time with friends, even when I want to isolate
▪️Snugs (snuggles!), playtime, and walks with my fur babies
▪️Rereading fiction books I love because my brain likes the predictability
▪️Keeping my favorite snacks on hand so my body feels cared for
▪️Exercise
▪️Connecting with friends
▪️Lung tapping
▪️Eating good food
▪️Staying warm

Let us know in the comments what you are doing to resource yourself these days! The more ideas we have on ways to support ourselves the better. 💟

Our Sliding Scale Community Acupuncture offering on Saturday, Jan 31 with .lac is now a mutual aid fundraiser, with ALL PROCEEDS benefitting Phillips Neighborhood Rent Relief (https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-phillips-families-in-urgent-need?)! Come get some care and support housing stability for individuals and families.

Although our clinic is in NE Minneapolis, several of our team members (including clinic co-owner Kim) and many of our patients are longtime Southsiders. ❤️ Let's support our Southside neighbors and help ensure that people who are being impacted by ICE occupation can remain housed, fed, and supported. Many individuals and families have been unable to work, due to fear of being detained or harassed by ICE. Rent is due February 1st and folks need support. Let's help meet (OR EXCEED!) their fundraising goal!

Group acupuncture (also known as community-style acupuncture) provides the opportunity to receive acupuncture care in a group setting, at a lower price point than private treatment. These sessions are a great way to try acupuncture for the first time, support symptom management between private acupuncture sessions, or simply to enjoy a moment pause in shared healing space with others.

This offering is intentionally sliding scale, making symptom management, rest, and care more accessible to our community. Standard rate is $45, recommended sliding scale of $25-$65. If cost is a barrier, use code ACCESS to receive 50% off the lowest sliding scale rate.

Join us on Saturday! Learn more and register at constellationacu.com/events.

ICE OUT! 🚫🧊🚫

01/24/2026

Midwesterners are hardy. Just look at how many folks are spending long hours outside patrolling, observing, walking kids to and from school, and protesting, even in no degree weather. 👀!! This is awesome and makes us proud to be part of the Minnesotan community of winter warriors!

AND! This high amount of cold exposure can take a toll on the body. Staying bundled up will make you more resilient!

Here’s some Chinese medicine info on how outside influences like cold, wind, dampness, and dryness impact the body and gentle reminders to stay warm from your local political acupuncturists:

Symptoms of Cold hitting the body could look like:
☑️ Joint pain & stiffness
☑️ Nausea, low appetite
☑️ Loose stool, bloating
☑️ Irregular menstrual cycle
☑️ Menstrual pain
☑️ Clots in menstrual blood
☑️ Low libido
☑️ Water retention & swelling

Try these tips to keep the Cold at bay:
1️⃣ PROTECT YOUR NECK: wear a scarf. The neck is particularly vulnerable to invasion by Cold and wind. Layers, layers, layers!

2️⃣ KEEP YOUR TOOTSIES WARM - WEAR SOCKS OR SLIPPERS: Don’t walk barefoot on cold floors! The lower body is the more “yin” area of the body - and is more prone to “yin” pathogens like Cold and damp.

3️⃣ AVOID SITTING ON COLD SURFACES: protect Cold from entering your pelvis. Sitting on cold surfaces can introduce Cold into the pelvis, which obstructs the flow of qi and creates stagnation.

4️⃣ DON’T GO OUTSIDE OR TO BED WITH WET HAIR: dry your hair first. Cold damp on the head can lead to issues like headaches, neck pain and stiffness, brain fog, and fatigue.

5️⃣ WAIT TO COLD PLUNGE IF YOU ARE MENSTRUATING: or if you have other symptoms of Cold. During menstruation, the body is vulnerable to invasion by Cold because the cervix is open and the blood is deficient. The hormetic stress of cold plunging is helpful for many folks! BUT! Don’t plunge when you’re menstruating, and avoid it if you have diarrhea, abdominal or pelvic pain, or feel cold.

Many of us know that while there is real urgency to this moment, it's deeply important for us to build up and harness our qi/energy for long-term change. As is often said, “It's a marathon, not a sprint.”

We hope you are taking the time you need to recharge your batteries between bursts of action and activism. Here at the clinic we're doing our best trying to do the same.

This upcoming week we have a few openings at the clinic and some great events at the classroom that might be exactly what your body and heart need right now.

COMING UP AT THE CONSTELLATION CLASSROOM

⭐SUNDAY, JAN 25 - Sliding-scale sound bath at 11am with Amy
45-min of deep rest and nervous system regulation. Soothing tones from singing bowls and other instruments will wash over you, easing tension and encouraging relaxation from the vibrations of sound.

⭐SUNDAY, JAN 25 - Group acupuncture + craniosacral at 4pm with Kim
Hands-on care in a small group setting. Receive acupuncture treatment to support general wellbeing and relaxation, followed by gentle craniosacral therapy bodywork on the head, neck, and torso during the needle rest.

⭐TUESDAY, JAN 27 - Breathwork + writing at 7:30pm with Amy
Time to breathe and let your 🖕🧊 rage out. Ground, breathe, write, share in a space to care for yourself and care for your community at the same time. Use code HEALINGACCESS for 50% off.

⭐SATURDAY, JAN 31 - Community acupuncture from 12pm-3pm with Kim
Acupuncture in a group setting, payment on a sliding scale. Treatments are about 45 minutes long, with a brief intake and then 20-30 minute rest with needles in. Great for newbies, for symptom management between private sessions, or for a short pause in a healing space with others.

We do have some blankets, props, mats, and massage tables or zero gravity chairs, but bring with you an extra blanket or whatever makes you feel the most cozy and supported. If you will be receiving acupuncture, wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the knees and elbows.

Schedule online at constellationacu.com/events . Call 612-339-5088 or email us with questions or if you need assistance signing up (with the reminder that we will be striking tomorrow Friday, Jan 23).

PS: if these dates don’t work for you (or if we are at capacity!), the February calendar is also up on our website with many of these same classes and ready for you to save your spot.

01/20/2026

In solidarity with A Day of Truth & Freedom and the movement to get ICE out of Minnesota, our clinic will be participating in the the general strike on Friday, January 23 and will be closed.

We believe in the power of collective resistance and economic disruption to advocate for human dignity and respect and against state-sponsored violence. We stand in support of our immigrant patients, friends, neighbors, colleagues, teachers, fellow business owners, and community members, and all who have been harmed by ICE and other forms of state violence.

ICE OUT!

01/15/2026

This past Sunday, we (Amy + Kim) had the honor and privilege to hold our first gathering at our new classroom space. It was a sold-out soundbath and everyone in the room reflected how much they needed this time to rest, regulate, and find respite after such a devastating week.

Not only was the soundbath a time for folks to let their guards down and rest for an hour - it was also a time for them to feel held in community, by us and by each other.

At the end of the session, one participant was moved to offer their own instrument - their voice - by singing us a protest song they had written. It was a moment that touched many of us deeply.

For many of you, it might have felt like our classroom opened out of nowhere - it was such a quick process from idea to reality! In all honesty it felt fast to us too - but we trusted our intuition that the timing was right and the space was needed.

And now here we are this week, fully understanding why we felt intuitive urgency to make this happen now.

Spaces like this one are needed more than ever right now.
Gathering in community is more important than ever right now.
Finding accessible ways to regulate our nervous systems are needed more than ever right now.
Finding moments of felt safety are needed more than ever right now.

So let us be a place for you to land, to find respite, to rest or cry or express rage. Let this be a place for us to do these things together.

We have several more sliding scale and financially accessible events still scheduled this month, and just added more for February.
