Traffic Jam
Traffic jams can be anyone's worst nightmare. Imagine you are traveling well on a journey, and you are making good time. Everything feels as though it is flowing in your favor, and you are in the midst of what is pertaining to be a great day. Suddenly, you see brake lights ahead and you roll to a stop. You remain stationary for the foreseeable. How do you feel?
Likely, you'll feel a run of frustration through your body. You are going to be late for your destination, and that will never do. There might also be anxiety. How long will you be stuck for, and what if you run out of water, or need the bathroom? All these emotions are normal, but they detract us from a great opportunity to connect with our angels.
You see, often, angels use traffic jams to send us a sign. We roll to a slow, then eventually stop. We are surrounded by strangers on a usually busy road and there is no let up ahead. What though, is the reason for the hold up? Could it be that someone, or some people up ahead of you on the highway are actually hurt, or worse? Have your angels intervened and shown you that life can change in the blink of an eye and if so, how lucky you are that it wasn't you on this particular day and at this particular time?
You can look at it one of two ways. You can view it as something that is holding up your day, and creating stress in your body that you really don't need. You could, in contrast, see it as a forced moment of pause. You cannot control it, nor can you do a thing about it, so you may as well sit and clear your mind. Open up to your angels and any messages they may bring for you. The idea that you are being made to stop could fill you with dread because usually your life is so busy that you seldom have time to do so, but in reality you know that you would benefit from it. If your angels are too aware of this, then that is going to be something you can embrace during a traffic jam.
The focus you can give this moment could be incredible. Switch off the engine, sit back and melt into the seat for a while, and know that everything happens for a reason. When the time is right, you will resume your journey again, but for now, a traffic jam will be all that is required of you, and the time it takes to allow your mind to clear of its thoughts, tasks and habits, will be time very well spent.
Your angels can also give you a little hint about your environment as you are sat in the traffic jam. Take a look around. What do you see out of the window? Is there a group of trees that look particularly beautiful? What about the horizon, what do you see? Perhaps there is a restaurant you have never noticed before that looks amazing. These are all little signs your angels are giving you to pay attention to your surroundings rather than drive past them and take them for granted. We live in a sometimes-chaotic world where it feels as though we lack the time and space to explore it, but in reality, we can pull the strings to do so whenever we please.
Not realizing this can be where our angels come in and forces us in a way, to look at what we have. To be thankful, and nod to gratitude rather than snub it. Of course, any snub would never be intentional, but it does give way to a level of ignorance that we don't mean to have. When we invite gratitude into our lives, we invite possibility.
Angels are very clever energy forces. They see a weakness in our lives that needs addressing, and they get to work to make it possible to tackle it, and strengthen it. If there is wool pulled over our eyes by society or habit, they look to release it so that we can see clearly.
