"Change The Oil!"

I am currently cleansing my mind, body and spirit to welcome Fall.  As I have been successful for three days now and will continue for at least another 4 or so days, allowing my body to guide me through the process.  I have had much introspection and many revelations.


I have begun to understand the importance of cleansing the body or "Changing the oil" as I like to say.  What happens to a car if the oil doesn't get changed.  It will run for a while, maybe a long while but eventually it will cause harm to the engine.


During the change of the seasons is when people tend to get sick an irritable and I believe that the illnesses and irritation come from not clearing out the past seasons to embrace the next.  We are creatures of habit and still we must embrace these changes that are the only constant in the world.  


If you have allergies, your body is communicating with you to "Change the oil."


Happy Fall!!

Some tools that will help during these AMAZING Times...

I sent this email to a young lady I know that was reaching out for help.  The following is what I was guided to send to her.  I was also guided to share it with anyone who can use this information.  Be blessed!

You get to calm down and stop looking for what is wrong and start recognizing and acknowledging what is right.  You get to learn to breathe. As you inhale count to 4 and when you exhale count to 4. That will fill your body with oxygen, energy and peace while bringing you into the present moment and will rebuild your cells and give you clear insight into your next step.  BREATHE... TAKE A STEP... REPEAT!


Another tool you can use is called. E.F.T. Emotional Freedom Technique. I am going to have the initials tattoo'd on my hand so I remember to use it when my emotional guidance system is telling me I am not happy. 


http://www.eftuniverse.com/


This very simple technique you can do by yourself and for yourself is very fast and effective for moving energy when you feel anxiety or emotional over flow... 


Mercury Retrograde is a time of deep introspection and understanding, it is a time to be present and conscious so that you are certain to be clear when you communicate and do not speak just to hear your own voice.  


Everything that happens in the universe is divine.  It is only your perception that makes it good or bad.  It is time for you to let go of control (EGO) and let your spirit guide you (INSPIRITED).  The tighter you squeeze the less grip you will have on your life and you will continue to waist valuable energy.


Breathe God(dess), Just Breathe!

There was a disturbance in the forest last night...

There was a disturbance in the forest last night. 

During the summer, when at home.  I leave the patio door cracked in our room and in the kitchen so that our three lovely cats can roam as they please.  After all they do own the place! We just pay the bills! LOL

Over the last few days I have caught our neighbor's black and a random new kitten entering our home looking for food.  Yesterday about 7:30pm I I had just gotten home and settled in from work, ate dinner.  Then, while in the living room I hear Leroy start this crazy growl and it took me a few minutes before I realized that he had encountered a random cat that had come into the house in the hallway.  Now Akyra, my visually altered super hero cat, was in the hall way at the opposite end of the "Leroy and Random cat Encounter." 

Leroy continued his growl and soon there was loud and obnoxious cat noises and I heard a couple of paw smacks, then I see Akyra running for her life! She slammed into the wall, then into the empty five gallon jugs I had the front door then she skidded her way through the kitchen to the patio door hitting the leg of the kitchen table, then the wall on her way out and took off!  I panicked for a moment, I wanted to see what cat Leroy had schooled but I was guided to go look for Akyra, I knew she was super scared. 

I went into the backyard and there was no sign of Akyra.  I saw the neighbor's cat leaving my bedroom after being schooled by Leroy and still I had no idea where Akyra had gone.  She wasn't responding to my calls and wasn't in any of the hiding places I could think of. 

When the sun went down and it was 9pm and I still had not seen my little Kyra.  I started getting worried like maybe she hurt herself while running for her life.  I saw her hit several things just on the way out the door lord knows what she may have encountered while running full speed into the brush in the backyard!

I prayed and began chanting the violet flame decree protecting Akyra, Leroy, Mama, Jeff and I then decided to see if I could go to sleep.  It was very challenging to sleep through the night.  Every sound I heard, I thought it was Kyra coming to join me on the bed like she usually would.  When I work up at 4:44am and realized she still wasn't there I had a hard time going back to sleep and of course at that moment I get a text from my Love, Jeff, saying, "Baby, baby! I love you!"  I felt warmth in my heart and I know he could feel me and that something was wrong.  He is away enjoying his Phish tour and I was not about to let him know that Akyra was missing so I texted back, "I love you! :)"

I continued chanting the violet flame decree to get back to sleep and I noticing sounds under the bed and at that time I was so emotionally drained I was focused on getting as much sleep as I could get since I knew I had work in the morning.

7am rolls around and I had come in and out of some weird dreams.  When I realized that Akyra was still not on the bed I started thinking about where she could have possibly gone and if she was cold or hurt.  I began to get up and call her name again.  I managed to get Mama and Leroy in the house.  I cryed to them and told them I didn't know where there sister was.  I cried all the way back to my room and went to the bathroom.  As I balled my eyes out like a little girl, my little squirrel like cat Kyra comes over to me like she usually does and gave me love.  I started freaking out going, " OH MY GODDESS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!??"  Then I realized she was making the noises under the bed! She was with me the whole time!

I had never been more happy to see her then in that moment and I was so over joyed, Am overjoyed that she is okay and here.  She was still very scared from last night's commotion but I know she will be just fine.  I got to give her some Love Time and remind her that she is safe. 

I am so grateful for my blessings and look forward for the many blessings I get to receive today!

What a night! I left my house for work at 11:11 this morning and Now I am at work and just met a woman who was born on 11/11/51.  She will be 60 this year and I told her that she is an angel and that she better party her butt off this November! 

The intense, loving magnitute of Angelic energy is tangible now!  Thank you angels!

Life is amazing... I appreciate the details of my life!

In the eye of the storm…Breath…Take a step… Repeat

Regardless of the chaos that may appear to be going on around you, there is order.  There is a plan and it is all divine.  The sooner you can recognize that everything happens for a perfect reason AND that you are never given what you can't handle, the sooner you will be able to recognize the growth potential within each situation which will lead you to true healing, learning and forward movement in the direction of your dreams.


If one commits to an attitude of "giving up" then they are putting themselves in the custody of blame, fear, anger and every low frequency thought word or action that exists.  We all know that thoughts spiral and we have a choice of the positive or the negative.


So while the paradigm shift continues, remember that your breath is the most important tool to remain flexible and fluid like water driven by spirit.  


With each breath count to four on your inhalation and count to four on the exhalation.  Allow your stomach to push out so that you can receive as much oxygen as possible for cellular regeneration, relaxation and overall well being.


Breathe… take a step… Repeat!


All is well.  Let the chips fall where they will.  It is for the greater good!


This is a time of receiving and a time to see the good in goodbye!

Resistance is Futile... Surrender and Receive...

Tumultuous times can give way to clarity and understanding when one surrenders and receives the wisdom we all have access to and know. When being forced to strip away the space filling sand and pebbles of life, all that is left are the most important boulders, the things we must be grateful for and blessed to have... breathe... surrender, receive... repeat... resistance is futile.

Angelic Communications…Pay Attention...

So on Tuesday, I did my 108 mile drive to San Francisco like I do every week for school.  Excited to be finished with my fifth quarter I was very elated as I drove.

I was pretty calm for the most part, while I was observing the beauty around me a bright red truck jumps in front of me.  The truck was Fire red with an orange cone hanging out the back the truck slowed down to about 55 MPH and the speed limit was 65.  I wanted to get frustrated with this person and heard a voice in my head reminding me to calm down and that everything is happening for a reason.

I stayed behind this truck for as long as I could stand.  Then I decided to be hard headed and pass the red truck when all of the sudden I saw a motorcycle cop creeping up behind me.  I put my cruise control on 65 very smoothly and he passed me and pulled over someone else.

I realized that bright red truck was a form of angelic communication or a "God Wink" as many of my fellow angel lovers call it.

Had I not listed to the angels for as long as I did, I would have gotten a ticket and tarnished my perfect driving record.  I am so grateful to be in harmony with the Legion of Light and the Angelic Realms.

Thank you! Please everyone, listen to your angels they are always communicating with you!

H.I.P. H.O.P. Original poetry from Enjoli Rountree YouTube TV

Good Afternoon!

Today I decided to follow through on another project I have been talking about for some time.  I finally video taped myself speaking my own poetry.  I started with a piece I call, "H.I.P. H.O.P. I have been writing since I was 16 years old.  Here I am 32 and I am finally brave enough to advertise myself.  After all that is what I am in school for, advertising.  I get to start with me.

How do I present myself?  Today I answered that question by actually taking the time to put on make up and it is amazing how different I feel and how people are responding to my energy today.  Gorgeous, powerful, fearless mirrors all around me, smiling, creating, exploring the new super powers pouring out from within.

Spring is here and I am unfolding like a lovely luscious lotus, in my garden of love that is birthing ideas I've had for sometime. All I can do now is keep moving, keep creating, keep allowing each idea/dream to come to fruition.

Genesis... The beginning...Mercurial Cycles... Purpose filled...

I am in a process of rebirthing.  I am walking in a direction of clarity that I had yet embarked and am very excited to embrace and experience new, fresh, healthy, expansive thoughts, words, actions, angels showing up in human form to assist in manifesting ideas with commitment from concept to creation.  I am learning to walk smooth and steady.  Although I may want to run, a fast walk will be better suited for the solid foundation I continue to build upon.

Today is a remarkable opportunity for me to make new choices and think about things differently, speak less and with more consciousness.  This Mercurial time period is helping me take a long beautiful look at my self image, impulsiveness, instinctive self expression, new life initiatives that I am beginning and SUCCEEDING!!.    

I am that I AM... FRESH AND NEW!    

Namaste,

“HELP WANTED” In need of Positive People!

Enjoli Rountree

Persuasive Speech

 “HELP WANTED”

In need of Positive People!

      In today’s day and age it is very easy to get swept away in conversations about how horrible our world is or has become, doomsday is near… yatta yatta yatta.  “Did you hear about what they said on the news!?  It’s such a shame.   I hate the rain, I hate the heat, I’m tired, I’m sick, I don’t like him, her, them, why do they look like that, who do they think they are?”  I must admit that I continuously, and consciously catch myself sliding down the nasty, nasal of negativity.   I use positive affirmations to counter this spiral at first conscious awareness of it.

It is fact, that watching the news increases the blood pressure of its audience due to the intensity of negative information pouring from the television.  People want to be in “the know” so they trust the manipulative mentions of the media.  I believe that this is one of the main reasons for the acceptance of negative thoughts, words and actions on a massive scale.

It is so bad that when one is joyful or optimistic they are sometimes disregarded or not taken seriously and looked at as a flower child or any other silly name that negative people came up with for the happy and or enlightened.

            I see it is like this.  Yes, there are always things going wrong and shit is always going to hit the fan and splatter.  But, when shit hits the fan, do you roll and wallow in the funky smell of it or do you take the shit, make it manure and grow a garden of new and amazing experiences and manifestations?   The challenge is to take advantage of the fact that you are an individual and look at things from a fresh perspective.  The negative perspective is covered over and over again from every angle.  There is a “HELP WANTED” sign in the window of the positive people because we need people to be in charge of acknowledging what is going right in the world, in their lives and in the lives of others. 

            It is like a dormant muscle that gets to be strengthened to combat the negativity running ramped in our society.  It is too easy to blame, be negative, angry, sick and offended.  It is okay to smile; it is okay to be happy; it is okay to acknowledge what is right or good in your world.

            For every negative possibility there are an infinite number of positive possibilities waiting to be acknowledged and explored.  Think of positivity as adding to the blossom of life and negativity is taking away.  It is a simple equation for life, you get what you give, positivity adds up!

Gratitude and Your JOY SCALE! Thank You! www.drivenforlife.com

GOOD MORNING!!


I am so grateful for another beautiful day and opportunity to share with YOU, the living word of Goddess! 


This morning I woke up very upset.  I also went to bed upset last night.  
It is true that the state you go to sleep in is the state you wake up in magnified. Unless your in the state of Georgia! Just kidding!


Anyway, I woke up really early, it was about 4:30 and I decided to get out of bed and clean.  As I cleaned I was muttering under my breath about everything that was wrong and that seemed just ridiculous.  I finished cleaning and made myself some coffee.  I decided to go online and focus my energy anywhere else and WHAM!  I see my buddy Eric McGrath on Facebook talking about "Your Joy Scale!"


I began to smile and watch the video.  Not only was a great to see Eric's bright face and enthusiasm, It was refreshing to hear what he had to say and to remember my conscious creations.  I am at choice and I get to have fun on my journey!


So, in honor of www.drivenforlife.com and "YOUR JOY SCALE"


I am beginning a list of all that I am grateful for.


I am grateful for my life, my body-temple and the cells within it that make sure that I am healthy and balanced, my spirit that guides me, I am grateful for my clear and sound mind and keen senses.  I am grateful for my family and the health of my family in it's entirety.  I am grateful for my friends, past present and future and for the health of my friends, past, present and future.   I am grateful for the opportunity to educate myself and to be an example for the youth at my school.  I am grateful for my home, my sound transportation, my financial freedom, my new life, my spirit guides and angelic support system, the yoniverse.  I am grateful for my cats and the magic they bring to my life.  I am grateful for my divine loving partnership with a shaman who is blossoming as I am.  I am grateful for the sun shining and moons reflection.  I am grateful for Eric McGrath's reminder this morning to be grateful.  I am grateful for every loving detail of my life!


Now I must go do the laundry! With a smile! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  


I am grateful for your eyes reading these words! 


I am grateful for YOU!

(THIS ONE IS FOR THE GODDESSES!!) The Breast Theory Ever!!! Please join me in supporting healthy breasts!!!!

I have the Breast Theory EVER! Today I had one of the Breast work outs ever!


I realized that we have a epidemic on our hands regarding women and unhealthy breasts.  While the intention is pure for most, I do not see a solution is supporting an American Cancer Society.  I like to focus on solutions and the goal, NOT THE PROBLEM.  If one is constantly focused on something, it persists in their lives.


My focus has been on realizing that the female breast are the only part of the body that get little to no movement or exercise.  We lock them down with our over the bolder shoulder holders, some women even sleep in them and we wonder why many women have lumps and such.


When energy stops moving it gets stagnant, like still water brings mosquito's.  Then illness can occur on a physical level.


So, I have thought of a new theory to support healthy breasts.


For the past few months I have been working out without a bra.  Letting the girls get a good cardio work out along with the rest of my body!  If it is during a tender time I wear a loose sports bra.


What I have come to notice is that they are very happy and perky after my work outs.  Due to working out at all I am less of an emotional wreck prior to my moon cycle and by working out my breasts they are much, much less tender as well.


So, I am inviting you to let your girls join in the work out and have the breast work out!  If you are well endowed or experiencing tenderness, get a sports bra that will let the girls breathe and move a bit. For anyone else, unless you are about to start your moon cycle, work out with no bra.


I would love to hear your stories and experiences!
Please email me: lensesoflavender@gmail.com


I am starting a healthy rack revolution!!!


Please join me in supporting healthy breasts!!!!

Thank you!

P.A.I.N. = P.ay A.ttention to you I.nner N.ature

Pain is like an alarm in the body-temple.  It is so much like an alarm that people fear it and want to mask it.  Those who profit from the fearful, help them manage their pain rather than pay attention to it and resolve it completely.

When a headache occurs in the body-temple.  Your body-temple is not lacking acetaminophen.  Your body-temple is communicating with you.  It is saying something like, I am hungry or I need water or I need sleep, or STOP!!! PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY-TEMPLE, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY-TEMPLE!!!!

I created this acronym for pain so that people can look at it in a new manner.  Pain should not be feared.  F.E.A.R. is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real.  
P.A.I.N. is a sign to P.ay A.ttention to your I.nner N.ature.

So, instead of fearing pain in the body and putting energy into creating something wrong, send love to the pain and KNOW that it is your body communicating with you.  It is fixing something, balancing something and making your body better than ever.  You may just have to go to the bathroom.  This is natural.

Anytime I feel a sensation in my body that resembles pain, I say thank you to my cells (either out loud or in my head) and I visualize golden love in the place of sensation.  I know that my body has a natural defense system and it is constantly working to keep the body-temple balanced like a divine well maintained machine.

Now, there is a time and a place for Modern medicine, pain killers and the like.  However, once it becomes every time and every place one becomes disconnected from the body-temple and dependent on the toxic substances that numb the receptors in the body.  Then one becomes so hyper sensitive to any sensation or feeling as it all begins to resemble pain.

I guess if you are numb and feel nothing after a long period of time.  Pain would be the first thought when finally experiencing a sensation in the body-temple.  I would imagine it to be similar to a tsunami wave slamming a serene, still lake. Hmm?  Something to think about.

I am grateful for Modern Medicine as it has it's just place and time.  I know that naturally it must not be every place and every time.

Much of the natural, homeopathic or organic remedies people are now sharing and remembering are actually older than the pyramids people.  I am not sure why everyone would fear natural cures or calls them "NEW AGE" but that is a whole'nother blog!

Trust your inner nature, pay attention to your body-temple and you can heal and balance anything.

In the famous words of Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can or can't, You're right!"

Have a magical new moon weekend!

You have a great ABILITY to RESPOND...

Good Evening Yoniverse!

Today I am guided to communicate about the word Responsibility.  I was told by a wise medicine woman that the word responsibility is simply the ability to respond.

I was blown away at this truth because it removed the weight of the word and reduced it to it's most simplest form.

I have a great ability to respond.  We all do.  

I can say, yes or no. I accept this or I do not.  I want more of this in my world so that there is less of that.  I accept what the doctor says or I accept my natural state of bliss, health and well being.

It is again a choice.  Your conscious response to your world strengthens your ability to do so harmoniously.

Remember that you are in control of your world and you have a Great Ability to RESPOND!

You are NOT CRAZY! You are connected! TRUST YOURSELF!!!!!

Trust!

Today I am communicating about trust.  Trusting in yourself and trusting in your physical and universal support systems.

I am so blessed to have such amazing examples and mirrors in my life.  All accelerating in beautiful ways and learning to creatively express themselves however passion drives them.

While I know that I am here to be of service to my fellow Medicine Woman and Shaman, each magical opportunity also brings a degree of fear or distrust.  I have worked this muscle so well that the degree of fear or distrust has drastically diminished. Although it does rear it's purposeful head to keep me conscious and humble.

I have been a conscious vessel of healing for many years and to this day I still get to consciously tell myself.  Trust yourself! You are at the right place at the right time, trust the light within, you are always protected and connected.

It is always so rewarding to realize after the fact that had I not trusted in those prior moments, I would not have been able to provide the service I was called to do.

Here is a perfect example from my past.

I believe it was late 2004, I was working for a metaphysical shop in Tarzana, California.  I was on my break heading to get some french fries and Zadziki sauce. (real healthy huh? very yummy!)

On my way back to the shop.  I saw a bright red auric light shining about a block away.  I felt in my heart that I needed to get there quickly.  I started running toward the light.  I stopped by the shop to let my co-worker know that I would be right back,  dropped off my food and ran out the door.

I got to where the red light was and there had been a car accident.  A woman was rear ended by some teenagers and she was hysterical.  I was guided to put my hands on her and start pumping Reiki into her and calm her down.

I kept my hands on this woman and got her to take a seat and breathe.  I got everyone involved to calm down and take stock of what to be grateful for.  I said, "Everyone is okay, this is why we pay for insurance."

A police officer showed up and began helping them exchange information.  The woman I had my hands on turned to me and said, "You know? I thought I was going to have to call an ambulance.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack!"

In that moment, my purpose on this planet became more real that life itself.  I realized that if I had submit to some sort of fear or distrust, this woman my have had a heart attack.  It was a very humbling feeling to be of such assistance to a complete stranger.  Now, I do my best to pay attention and show up when I am called.  Even when it may seem random or wrong.

My goal is to continue to "be" a light source in the room for those who need to see.  Everyday I learn to trust my spirit and trust my temple for which my beautiful spirit resides.

Trust = Truth Remember Universal Service Together

I challenge you to trust yourself more and more each day.  By trusting yourself, you will unlock your potential on universal levels.

You are NOT CRAZY!  You are connected! TRUST YOURSELF!!!!!

The Heart Core

While using the emotional guidance system, one can trust the feelings that are occurring from within.  The information that we can harness in these moments is vital.  

This can mean the difference between going down a depressive spiral into the fear section of the emotional guidance system or bring one into the Love section which is an enlightened, timeless space, where one is conscious of their ability to respond rather than react.

You know you are in the love section because you know that you are in control and that you are a victor, not a victim.

We get to honor our emotions an allow ourselves to start gathering information from within ourselves instead of gathering information from outside of ourselves.

Week 2 I know what to do!

Today marks the second week of my fourth quarter @ The Art Institute Claifornia

Day 2 and Day 3 of the Kitchari Cleanse.... Yesterday was amazing! Today is POWERFUL!a

Hello!

Yesterday was day two on the Kitchari cleanse.

I must say as delicious as the mug bean stew is, this stew is also extremely powerful.

All day I could feel and see my emotional guidance system going out of whack and then into balance and the fluctuation has lessened over the last twelve hours and I feel so peaceful and together.  I feel more comfortable in my own skin.  I feel my muscles awakening and life filling my cells more and more.

I am now on Day 3 of the Kitchari cleanse and today is my last day.  I am so grateful for this cleanse and the opportunity to balance my dosha's. My mind, my spirit and my body by being conscious of what I am consuming.

This cleanse has also help become more aware of the healthy patterns and habits I desire to and am embracing in each moment.

I hadn't ever enjoyed so much, getting up and going to the gym, coming home and making a beneficial and flavorful meal to fuel my temple for the day.

I am learning to take the time to take care of myself before anything and everyone else.  Wow, how much more compassion and patience I seem to have for others.  This is awesome and I am so grateful!

I have even noticed a change in my animals.  They have always been lover's and cuddlers and WOW!!! They love the love that I am giving myself.  They are confirming for me that I teach others how to treat me!

I love myself and I am loved!

Thank you!  As an Aries Sun sign I am completely feeling the shifts of Uranus, the planet known for the "Winds of Change" there is another 6+ years of this amazing and fascinating cycle.  Thank you Uranus, Aries, Virgo, Gemini and all other signs within my chart and in the entire universe for your divine purpose, guidance and assistance.

I AM THAT I AM!

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE ME!
