“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and 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, not how it compares with other expression. 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 open.” -Martha Graham

This quote reflects what I find to be true and important in my work and in my life.  We are all blessed with unique gifts and perspective of the world, yet sometimes our own inner critic or traumas can hamper the channeling of our life force.  At times our task is to get out of our own way to allow our lives to unfold to their full potential.  Sometimes we need some assistance and support to do this.

Mythologist Joseph Campbell and archetypal Psychologist James Hillman refer to this energy that ushers us forward as our "Daimon".  Our Daimon helps call us home.  "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. "- Joseph Campbell
