keep the channel open ๐
Hi All! Happy Summer Solstice and last week of June ๐ธ This last weekend I did a talk at the Mount Adams Yoga Festival. The talk was all about why I transitioned from using Western Astrology to Sidereal or True Sky Astrology. I havenโt spoken much about that on here so I have recorded an audio that talks about this transition and how we can use it to help us remember how to listen to and see ourselves as a part of the natural world. Iโve also included a letter from Martha Graham to Agnes De Mille that continues to be something I come back to as a source of inspiration. To me keeping the channel open is to allow life to move through us and to animate our lives. This is something that astrology has supported me with throughout my practice and also something that I talk about in this audio :)
Why Sidereal?
A Letter to Agnes De Mille from Martha Graham
There is a vitality,
a life force,
a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique.
And If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost.
The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine
how good it is
nor how valuable it is
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly
to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU.
Keep the channel openโฆ
No artist is pleasedโฆ
There is no satisfaction whatever at anytime
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes โusโ MORE alive than the others.
โ Martha Graham
I have also decided to open back up for natal chart readings, I will be using both the Western and Sidereal chart. Each Reading is 50-60 minutes and $120 per session. If youโre interested or have questions feel free to email me at hey@anniehamilton.co
Love,
Annie
