Moon to Moon 116. My Modality is Me: Claiming Yourself as the Channel for Your Magic
Sometimes people go to astrologers because they want astrology. They don't care who the person is who is reading for them. That's beautiful. AND I have found it to be true that the real medicine that is coming through is not the modality itself, but rather the unique way it moves through the human being channeling it.
It's not about "expertise." It's about presence. And emergence.
In this way, whatever you call yourself, whatever particular set of modalities you tap into with reverence, whatever it is you're offering - what's really happening is the love that rolls through you in your sincere connection to your channel that you share with another being. This is so beautiful, and such an unlearning.
MY MODALITY IS ME is a conversation about this. The conversation begins around 37 minutes.
In the intro, I discuss some of the qualities of the astrological energy field right now, namely what's showing up as Mars and now Venus have been conspiring with Pluto, newly in Aquarius.
My main topic of exploration is projection, and how projection will implode our relationships from the inside when we refuse to be with them or shame ourselves or someone else for having them.
Let me introduce you to my guests in the order they speak in the episode:
Lisa Quigley is a visionary writer, quantum hypnotist, psychic channeler, and intergalactic witch. She's a heretical mystic who practices Glitch Witchery, and she is here to support all the other Glitch Witches across the globe who are ready to remember who they are and claim their "glitches" as their most intentional, magnetic power.
Alex (he/they) is a psychic energy reader and healer, medical intuitive, and registered nurse living in Brooklyn, NY. His work is centered around optimizing your wellbeing, reconnecting with your sense of self, and helping you reclaim your space and body. He applies a critical lens to wellness, healthcare, and healing, and believes that healing doesn't have to happen in isolation.
Carly is a galactic nature mystic with a deep love of all things musical, artful and paradoxical and likes to nerd out on neuroscience. Carly worked as a teacher and taught music for young children prior to becoming a parent to two amazing kids. Following yoga therapy training she became certified as a Mindfulness Meditation teacher and is presently completely enamored with her studies of the Human Design framework. Carly is currently working with children, offering mindfulness support through emotional regulation techniques and somatic practices.
Nicole France-Coe (one of the 13th Readers this year) is a devotee to Great Mystery in all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality and dismantling power. I am more at home in the Cracks than the binary and the static. Having been woven together as a queer mixed race mycelial thinker has provided me the blood, bone, root and celestial blueprint for learning how to dance with and at the Cross Roads; a location of fecund possibility, peculiar synergies and emergent orientation. I delight in embodying the archetypal energy of Trickster and color with this energy in my everyday life as a mother, partner, mystic, artist and dreamer. I am both soccer mom and seer and I love being both.
Stacia Montenegro. Audaciously Grounded. Sunrise Capricorn. Scorpio Moon. Comfortably at Home in the Deep Emotional Waters of Truth Seeking. Devotee of the HoneyBee, Dragon, Serpent, Venus and Piglet.
Thank you all so much. This was profound.
