As the Fire Horse year reaches its peak, many practitioners are noticing shifts in both the environment and the clinic.
In this conversation with Christine Cannon, we explore the interaction of fire and water through the lens of Wu Yun Liu Qi, and how these energies may be influencing respiratory health, anxiety, fatigue, and emotional resilience.
We also discuss the importance of protecting Wei Qi, creating restorative space, and finding balance during periods of heightened activity and change.
Listen in for a practical discussion on seasonal influences, constitutional health, and navigating the energetic themes of the year.
Treat what you see. Less is often more, and don’t take your patient’s response to treatment personally.

Dr. Christine Cannon, DAOM, L.Ac
I’ve been a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with over 30 years of clinical experience. My treatment approach has evolved over time and is now based on a deep respect for classical texts and Chinese cosmology. Teaching has been a central part of my journey as a practitioner. I am particularly passionate about making complex theories, case management, pattern differentiation, and treatment strategies accessible and meaningful—whether I’m working with beginners or experienced practitioners. Helping others grow and build their clinical confidence is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
