You’ve reached the peak. Like a roller coaster cresting its highest point — all that anticipation, all that building energy — and now comes the thrilling, shrieking, arms-in-the-air descent into summer.
Under the right circumstances, Summer fire brings with it themes of joy, passion, excitement, connection, infatuation, creativity, fun…
AND Under the wrong circumstances, fire energy can flame up — showing up as anxiety, over-excitement, poor concentration, obsessive thinking, insomnia, or even manic behavior.
The mood of the season is a gift. Balance is what keeps it that way.
In my last newsletter, I mentioned the water element as a tool for cooling summer fire. We can also call on the earth element to ground fire’s tendency toward over-excitement: regular meals, meal prepping, plenty of grounding protein and healthy carbohydrates, as well as making sure your home feels cozy enough that you actually want to be there — instead of adventuring ALL THE TIME.
And if every summer you struggle — with anxiety, insomnia and unsettledness, in a way that feels bigger than meal-prepping — acupuncture is an excellent way to create earth element structure to ground your well being.
For that reason, I’m making summer retainers available through July 3rd:
- Pre-pay for 12 visits ($1,680) and receive a 13th visit free
- Use all visits within 3 months and receive a 14th visit free
- All visits must be used by the end of 2026
Would you like to take advantage of this structure for your health? Just email me to set it up.
