Mindful Driving Meditation For A Safer & Happier Road Trip


Listen Later

A driving meditation? Say what? After reading that title you may be thinking, "Meditating while driving? That's crazy!" You are probably envisioning someone trying to drive a vehicle with their eyes closed, seated in the lotus position, and chanting mantras, while trying to form appropriate mudras with their hands.

That is the typical experience most people think of when they hear the word "meditation". Driving meditation, also called mindful driving, is a totally different animal.  Many types of meditation simply ask you to be mindful of your present experience. This means to open your mind and all of your senses to everything that is going on around you. Doesn't this sound like the perfect recipe for safe driving? How many hours a day or a week do you spend behind the wheel of your car? Instead of considering this as a wasted, stressful time, why not use it as a chance to practice mindfulness? Notice that this "driving meditation" practice is called "mindful driving", and not road rage, judgmental driving, or revenge driving. Being totally aware of everything that is going on around you while you drive is going to mean that you definitely see poor driving habits by other drivers. When you practice mindfulness, whether driving or seated comfortably in your living room, you become aware of your current experience. However, you do not judge the experience. You simply encounter it, allow yourself to experience it, only concerning yourself with truly being in the moment.

If more people would practice mindful driving, instances of traffic accidents and road rage would drop dramatically.  It can definitely help lower your stress level if you are heading to a job you hate and can help you de-stress after a challenging day at work. This means less stress and anxiety when you arrive home, which promotes a happier home environment. There are a lot of reasons to practice mindfulness while you drive in the form of a driving meditation. Not only do you become a safer and more aware driver, but your daily commute can actually become a stress-reliever, rather than promoting stress and anxiety. The next time you drive, practice a driving meditation and be present in everything that is going on around you. Develop an awareness of your situation, without reacting judgmentally. You will find more peace and less stress in your life, and may actually enjoy driving.
