Nails in Tires

Okay, so I think I finally understand the lessons of the past few weeks. From the illnesses, the flat tires, the financial stress, to my phone being silenced. I realized that in order to stay connected with Spirit, I have to remove the nail from the tire. The same nail that created a hole for air to seep out and deflate, causing me to slow down, to stop. The fact that I received this message 3 times in a row heightens the sense of urgency to pay attention. Sure, a tire can be fixed, patched for free at the discount tire place. But, the nail has to be removed in order for the patch to work.

Viewing the past few weeks as a metaphor for my life, I realized that the nail causing my tires to deflate and take me off track, was the negativity that darkens my light day by day. In order to let my light shine bright, I need to cast away the darkness.

The darkness for me, the nail, was my addiction with polluting my lungs and the earth with tar, smoke and flame. In previous channeled messages Spirit had shown me the importance of quitting cigarettes. I knew that in order to achieve the highest realm of my spiritual path, I needed to purify my body and respect the temple in which I dwell. The constant poisoning of my body by the Marlboro man is slowly deteriorating all the progress I have made on my path.

When Spirit ordained me Young Scribe, I knew there would need to be changes made in my physical life. These changes I wanted to make could always wait until tomorrow. And there I was, in a constant cycle of waiting for tomorrows that would not come.

By ignoring the urgency in the requests for purification, Spirit intervened and put the nail in my tires, slowing me down. I became really sick…after celebrating a year of perfect health. I was out from work for three days, and home, in bed. Perfect time to think about things and decide on making the changes. Ignored that one too… I slowly returned to good health, the flu was running its’ course.

Next on the scene was the Tire Slasher of B Street. Sipping my coffee and smoking my morning cigarette, I learned that someone had slashed all the cars parked on the street in front of our complex. Sadly, the car we were renting (ours was in the shop) had one rear passenger tire that was deflated. Three days later the front passenger tire on our Neon was deflated. Oddly enough, every time the tires were flat, it had happened on the passenger side, the side I mostly occupy. Okay, so now They had my attention.

I have quit smoking. It has only been a week so far. But I am determined to repair the damage I have done and reconnect with Spirit. I miss getting my messages. And I miss my spiritual family as well. It always seems that when we take a stand and work hard to reconnect and share our light, obstacles and distractions occur to knock us off track and keep us from moving forward into our blessings.

As if I needed an example of this, each time I tried to hang out with my spiritual family was thwarted by some distraction or another. Normally, after receiving a channeled message, I would type it up and share with my soul sisters and we would meet to decipher and interpret the messages. And usually there is a great meditation and affirmation that strengthens us and recharges our spiritual barometers. With this missing, it is more difficult and challenging to continue forward and remain firm in the decisions I have made.

I have removed the “nail” and patched my tires. Now I am ready to get back on the road to success and sharing my experiences along the way.

Are there nails in your tires? You may feel that you have gotten off track and maybe do not have a plan as to how to get back on track. A wise woman, my best friend and soul sister, Moni, taught me that what you think about and talk about you bring about. And I have learned from experience that this is true.

Spirit desires to give to us that which we want, but we need have a clear definition of what we wish to have.

Define your goal, what is the “nail” that is causing your tires to deflate?

How can you remove the nail so that you can repair and move forward? What do you need in order for this to happen?

Once you have this in your scope, you have created your POA (Plan of Attack). Stick to your plan and be firm in your decision, meditating and thinking of it often. Listen to your heart and allow Spirit to lead you.

Having a good support group or circle of friends is beneficial! Use your resources and ask for help when you need it.

Honoring commitments you make and speaking everything in truth is a great way to make your light brighten and sharing with others your experiences, helps to build a better world. That is what I hope to accomplish…
