Hello Everyone! Ive been updating ~My Blog~ with some of my writing, and I dont believe Ive shared this poem on social media yet. I wrote it for a friend when his mother passed on (well, I also wrote it for her - thats why its titled to her name). I also read it at my Granny Thoras grave site - I believe it was when we gathered on her birthday, a year after her passing.... To sum it up, I would say this piece is about The Magic of Our Nature, the Cycle of Life & Death, and our Eternal Souls. Go give it a read and let me know what you think! xox Keira https://www.keiraburgess.com/blog/2018/8/18/for-jamile

Y O U R N A T U R E What is within you is infinite... But you have been conditioned to believe you are limited - and in need of fixing. You are your own compass. With your spine upright - anchor down into the earth - through your hips, legs & feet... And as you root downward, feel your spine lift upward. From your pelvis, feel two energies - a rooting-down through your base - and a rising-up through your centre, your spine, your crown. Now let the breath in. Let it breat...he you. Let it rinse through you - like a breeze, like a stream, like a comb, like a flame. Let yourself be purified and nourished. Energized, alkalized, electrified, balanced. Now, with your eyes closed... Rooting. Rising. Being Breathed. Being. From your mind's eye - watch yourself with curiosity and wonder... As one might watch a deer or other wild thing right outside the window. Watch. Allow. Do not judge or expect of this magnificent being. No. Be awestruck. Be heart-tickled. Giddy or sad. Just be. Be love. Be it all. And thank the Universe - the great infinity - within and without - for all of it's splendour and razzle-daz. Even amongst the pain and strain of hard and confusing times... Return to the still lake, or flowing stream, or burning light WITHIN. Allow the elements to live through you. For they are you. You are them. Earth. Air. Fire. Water. Ether. You are Spirit in Body-Mind. A seemingly limited experience - to teach us of our unlimited nature. Bow, bow, bow... To the cawing crow and the setting sun. To the rising tide and the leaves in bud. To a flower's bloom and a baby's birth. To the turning seasons, to the sheltering woods. Bow, bow, bow. The ache in your heart... Is the feeling of cracking open wider to hold more love. More awe. Love it all. @keira_burgess @deedeemorrisphotography See more

N E W V I S I O N Peek through the maya ~ the veils ~ the illusions. Look out at the life & the world around you. Find presence here & now. Open your eyes. Open your senses. Observe. Feel. Choose one thing in this very immediate PRESENT moment ~ whether within or outside of your self to notice. Just notice, and BE with it. You are it all anyways. Its all the same. Its time to look at everything with a clearer vision. With the wisdom that we are all one. We are all ...connected. What happens to you happens to me & vice-versa. What do you see, when you look - not only from your [egos - this lifetime - these wounds & achievements you identify with] limited perspective - but from the eyes of the world? What do you see & feel when you look through the lens of fear? What do you see & feel when you look through the lens of love? And what do you see & feel when you look through the lens of neutrality? [by neutrality, I dont mean dissociation, but free from judging as good//bad, right//wrong]. Open your eyes. Even if you do so by closing your physical eyes, to look inward...practice staying present, and not checking out. Even if just 1-5 minutes a day. I love you. You are loved. You are love. xox @the.messy.healer I love this picture you captured of @ouimadamewee & @carmen.deve while we were in Hawaii in January 2020 with @angearbuckle & @truenancy

ANNOUNCING Ange Arbuckle & I are thrilled to announce Soul~Full ...A Womens Retreat in Oahu, Hawaii. April 21-28, 2020. Please contact us with any inquiries.

W I N T E R . The Great Freeze. Hibernation. Cold. Ice. Snow. Wind. Sun. #alberta One of the benefits of living in a place that freezes for a season {months} is that there are bugs that cannot survive & thrive here.... What I want to know though, is which parts of yourself shine on - through the cold. Through the months of slow movement. Through isolation. Through turning inward. What remains? What is still present within you when you refrain from dressing up and going out? Who is hermit you? What does she/he/they like to do? What is at your core? Your essence? What is ever-present? What will last the winter through, and be ready to bud & blossom come spring & summer? And do you honour these aspects of yourself? Or do you keep them hidden? Do you shame yourself for any part of your essential being-ness? Do you don a mask when you socialize? Do you show up being who you think will be most accepted by the outside world? There is a balance here. Of course, we are meant to work together & help each other, but that means to support each other in our truth and wholeness...it doesnt mean having conditions on what you accept. So, you may step up and show up as your community needs you ~ shining in the aspects you excel at. And/or, you may also show up in ways you think youll be most accepted. Least rejected. This is not embracing your wholeness. This is not fully loving. This is conditional. How can you connect so fully with the essential you, that she/he/they is/are always with you...Through any season? #snow #essentialyou #seasons #authenticself #sunset

L O V E . Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. -Rumi To me, this could be the ultimate way to freedom. We build our own walls ~ initially for protection, but imagine ~ building a fortress so tight that not even food & water, not even your basic needs can find a crack to slip in through. Are we doing this with our hearts? I know I am ~ in ways...navigating boundaries. I lived wit...h a very open, boundary-less mentality in some ways, for so long. And then, when I decided to test out boundaries, it was clumsy and drastic. I put up brick walls. Not a nice woven willow fence that can breathe; that I can pass things over to my neighbours...Im reassessing. Ive put windows and at least one door in my brick wall...and Im even thinking of tearing it down to build that willow fence...{perhaps use the bricks for a nice herringbone brick patio!?}. All in good time. Everything is an opportunity to learn from...And how can I judge another for building walls, if I do not first look at the walls I build in my own life!? What {love} am I closing myself off from? In which ways can I express my needs & desires, to set my personal boundaries in a way that keeps me safe AND also allows me to breathe. To give & receive. Love. Nourishment. Connection. Ideas. Wellness. Wealth. Wisdom. Abundance. Trust. #love #rumi #rumilovequotes #wisdom #yogaeverydamnday #spirituality #selfreflection #knowthyself #boundaries #healthyboundaries

P R E S E N C E Its really about the simple moments. About being present. With yourself. The earth. Your loved ones. Whomever is beside you. Whomever is in your heart. To play. To sit. To be. To watch the sun set. To laugh. To cry. To love. To acknowledge what hurts, to feel it, and to bake it off in the sun or rinse it off in the water. Its ok to be all of it. Ugly and beautiful. Messy and clean. Organized and chaotic. Peaceful and stressed. Grieving and playful. Gratitude and desire. Empty and full. I love you. Good night. xox Keira #presence #yogaeverydamnday #embodiedinsight #retreatinhawaii #beach #mindfulliving

Sunday January 12 2020 Men in Black We are in the slipstream of Fridays seismic lunar eclipse and really feeling the dust storm kicked up by both Awakeners Ura...nus and Eris turning forward together. Every planet is now moving direct until mid- February, accelerating our trip down the rabbit hole. Then comes todays ultra -rare Saturn/Pluto Super Conjunction-the first in Capricorn for 507 years- clicking the new codes for the next 30 years into place one after another. This is a single pass with long term consequences-the first in a series of dominos toppling, setting off a chain reaction. Expect this radically new cycle to have an exceptionally powerful effect in the next 2 years, disrupting significant geopolitical dynamics and the distribution of economic power. Saturn conjunct Pluto is very much the nuclear missile of combinations. In a nuclear reaction, one kind of matter is transformed into another, and tremendous energy is released in the process. Hard aspects between Saturn and Pluto often bring natural disasters, particularly seismic and volcanic activity. Combined with the start of the United States karmic Pluto Return the first since 1776 and the Founding Fathers - there will be many markers in national and global history. This coming week of January 12-19th is extremely volatile as the stark consequences of power shifts on the world stage-including royalty as I predicted- become clear. All week the Sun, Moon, Mars and Mercury trigger and re-trigger the Super Conjunction. In your own life, its time to Collaborate with Fate: Put your relationships and your health at the top of your agenda Get physically active to move the energy through you and ground it Clean up your environment Keep your life simple - strip away anything inessential Resist the urge to hide away - Pluto can be separative and isolating Show up + refuse to feel powerless Dont try and control circumstances and people - it will backfire No cutting corners - superficial wont work, it will rebound Transparency, authenticity and openness are going to be critical Focus on your new beginnings, not on what youve lost Plant new seeds of personal power and purpose For the January 12-19 2020 Week Ahead Forecast + a special Saturn/Pluto Forecast for each, sign go to: www.hareinthemoonastrology.co.uk If you are a creative, empath, solopreneur or pathpaver, dont miss out on my consistent Guides to the emerging pathways. Sign up to my January 2020 5D Report: A New Year on Steroids and/or Your Survive and Thrive Guide to 2020 : www.hareinthemoonastrology.co.uk Such clear and powerful words. Gives me such faith. Manna from heaven! Lifted my spirit. Letting go of the letting go! Wu Wei. Thank you for your gifts. The context you wrap around everything and balance you achieve astounds me and brings me such peace. Simon C Lewes UK Art by Harold Roth

S O U L We love everyone by inhabiting the Soul. - Ram Dass I heard an audio clip of Ram Dass saying the above quoted words in the song Please Pass the Bliss by Nick Mulvey & East Forest. They were lucky / aligned / brilliant to capture these words of wisdom and turn them into musical art.... Just yesterday I was asking myself - HOW can I convey the passion, trust & conviction I have for inspiring people to connect to their Souls!? ...How can I put into words my faith in this practice, this way of being? ...How can I communicate - in simple terms - my personal philosophy? ... And then I learned later in the day that Baba Ram Dass had passed on. I looked up the song today - as @yoga_girl suggested it as her Song of the Day, and listened as I connected to my heart and breath and body on my yoga mat. And at the end - I heard him say it: We love everyone by inhabiting the Soul. And that was it. Thats it. That is HOW. I am grateful for this mans teachings and the way he lived his life in devotion to learning, serving, teaching... I am grateful for my teachers who have learned from him and infused their messages with his, and passed them on. Yesterday, I was also thinking about death. I was remembering the loved ones and pets of my family that have passed on. I pondered how people grieve [or resist grieving - which is suppose is also grieving]. I thought about how I feel lucky to believe that we are all one. I feel lucky to believe that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, just changed from one form to another. And this belief consoles me, for although - when a beings life ends, they are no longer here in physical form - as weve grown to know them - its as though theyve transformed into nothingness and everything all at the same time. They exist in every place and every moment. To me, their energy is more accessible once they have passed - Id dare to say omnipresent. To me, this is comforting. But before we get to that place, that time [of our passing]... we can live and savour and honour all of the moments in between our first breath and our last. To live with presence. To be here now and to acknowledge ourselves as loving awareness as Ram Dass wrote & taught... and to exist in alignment & connection with our Soul; to live from a place of love. In gratitude. #beherenow

F L O W S T A T E The Flow State. Imagine infusing your life with more of this way of being! Its the perfect combo of Creativity & Surrender. Inspired Action & Allowing.... There is no Force involved. If you are feeling out of flow, and more in forcing or effort-ing, consider taking a moment to take a rest, or take effortless action. You know - tap into that feeling of being inspired. Do that thing that you could do all day and not need a break or forget to eat or check your phone. Let go of any attachments you have to the outcome - to being productive, or to having what you do or make turn out perfectly - that would be forcing, controlling. Try ALLOWING. Try being a bit more receptive. A bit more instinctual. A bit more intuitive. When have you experienced a flow state? Do you access it yearly? Daily? What gets you into the flow? Which beliefs or attachments keep you out of your flow state? @deedeemorrisphotography #flow #flowstate #surfing #ridethewave #surrendertotheflow #surrender #chi #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #water #steadyandsweet #effortlessaction #inspiredaction #creativity #movement #purpose #dharma #theartistsway #alignedwithsource See more

Whos ready for a Womens Retreat in Oahu, Hawaii - January 2020!?!?

T O L O V E A R O S E {I just wanted to let you know, that} You cannot walk up to a bud and expect it to blossom open... in an instant. Enjoy the process; the phases of nature... Of my nature. Come to visit me In the garden. Love me, kiss me. Tell me your secrets. But do not pry me open. I will bloom. Trust me. I will. All in good time. When the warmth and light of sunshine upon me Is just right. When I feel safe. And ready. And when the time comes, You will realize, it was well worth the wait. It wasnt a wait; It was perfect timing. To witness my blossoming. To drink the morning dew-drops From my petals. To smell my fragrance So sweet and sacred. For, to love a rose Is to love Mother Nature herself, Is to love Grandmother moon Up in the sky. To love her - exactly as she is; Full, or half-shining, Or hidden behind clouds. Through her phases; Rising at noon or night. And you must know, Her forces are Indeed profound. They affect the world round, But she does not Scream and shout. Oh, no. And she will not burn you As Father sun can, if you dont pay attention. ...But trust me, Her forces are just as profound. In their own way. I would say subtle But I must remind you; Subtleties are only so Because you havent yet Honed a keen awareness To the ethereal. It is just as real. And eyes can see it. If only seeing eyes Believe. So, love her, love her. And in her time - In just the right time, She will blossom Into a glorious expression Of Divine Feminine Beauty. Words by @keira_burgess Photo by @deedeemorrisphotography

B E D I S T I N C T I V E To be different is not a curse. It is a gift. Embrace what makes you unique. I know it can be hard. Especially when we have seen others being criticized, ridiculed and rejected for their differences...And when youve felt it and experienced it yourself.... Where do you think that criticism, ridicule and rejection stems from? Do you think it could be ones own insecurity and fear of being criticized, ridiculed and rejected for not fitting in that causes them to project it onto you? Do you think it could be generations of unhealthy conditioning, keeping people from straying from the norm? Do you think its possible that that was once a survival tactic, but that it could now be a hindrance to our growth? Do you think that your resentment of not being able to be and express your Self fully could cause you to reject other peoples ability to do so? Do you think that a world where everyone falls into line - into sameness - will be a world of interest, culture, fertility and evolution? Or one of generic, boring sterility and stagnation? ...and a place that fears change - even though change is our nature...? CHOOSE: Do you want to navigate the changes of life with FLOW, or with RESISTANCE? Are you willing to embrace your differences? Do you think that your willingness to love yourself and your uniqueness could allow you to love and appreciate the differences in the world around you, even more? @ Edmonton, Alberta

E A R T H I N G Mama Earth is happy to support you.

I N F I N I T Y I love these two and how they let me get creative. @keira_burgess

T R U S T Take me by the hand. Let me guide you. Lets go on an adventure.... Into the forest. Into our hearts. Lets dance in a symphony of love-sounds. Lets set ourselves free; You be you, Ill be me! Take me by the hand. You can guide me. I will follow. For your heart is mine. And mine is yours. And together, our dance is one of trust. In that trust we find joy and cackles. And heartfelt looks, with tear-filled eyes. And a spacious holding thats never-ending. So THIS is what home is. And all I know, all Ill ever know is you and me. I got to have some creative fun, and took engagement photos of my brother and his lovely partner. @the_burge @ellemsies

P L E A S E Please. Please [I see] You are hurt. Can you feel it?... Im sorry, Feel it. I am here To hold you. Hold you deep And soft and warm And steady-solid. I am here. Please. Please Do not keep Creating pain. Feel whats there And rinse it out. Instead of building Sandbag trenches Of walls around Your fears and worries Rinse them out. Please. Please Let the storm come. Ride the waves And then hold still At the eye. Let it wash And rinse and clear The mucky muck That harbours fear. Please. Please Trust the truth. At the end The sun will shine And a final tear Will polish The last tarnish On your heart CLEAR. Words by @keira_burgess Photo by @deedeemorrisphotography

H E A R T V E N T U R E Lets go exploring! Lets connect to our hearts, our community, to nature. ... Heartventures created by @womenindharma @widheartventures are for Soulful Women to gather & connect. The other day, @kristatamcnally asked me What does your soul truly want to express in this lifetime? I had one minute to write my answer without overthinking it. What came out - well my top three: The Beauty of Nature. The Sacredness of Every Single Moment...and That the land, and time, and friendships can Heal. Then, she asked me... Is there any way, in your life - right now, that you can express these 3 things? ...and I said... I think its time for me to host a HeartVenture! And so, this Sunday, 10am-1pm at Lois Hole Centennial Provincal Park (parking lot opposite the enjoy centre, on Ray Gibbon Drive) join me for a walk in nature. #yeg #yegyoga #stalbert #stalbertyoga #naturewalk #womenindharma #soulfulwomen #connect #explore #heartventure
