Welcome to this guided meditation for your morning commute.
Make sure your eyes are open,
Your body's engaged.
We want to make sure you're fully safe.
Keep your eyes open.
Stay aware of the road ahead.
And let your breath slow down just a little.
Notice the way your hands feel on the steering wheel.
Steady.
Present.
Grounded.
Feel the support of your seat beneath you.
Feel your body held.
Feel the simple rhythm of moving forward.
Take a slow inhale through your nose.
Keep your eyes on the road.
And take a gentle exhale through your mouth.
Let your shoulders soften without losing alertness.
Notice any tension in your jaw.
In your neck.
In your chest.
Let it loosen just a little.
As you continue driving.
Traffic may come and go.
Cars may speed up or slow down.
You do not have to let it go.
Any of it,
Shape your day.
Let your breath match the movement of the car.
Inhale as you move forward.
Exhale as you settle into the present moment.
This commute is yours.
A quiet pocket of time before the day begins.
A moment to arrive in yourself before you arrive anywhere else.
Take a slow inhale.
Feel gratitude for this small space.
Take a long exhale.
Let the morning settle gently around you.
Repeat softly in your mind,
I can move through my day with steadiness.
I can move through my day with study.
Let this commute be a transition.
A gentle shift from rest to readiness.
A moment to reconnect with yourself.
Take one more slow inhale through your nose and a long exhale through your mouth,
Sighing it out.
UGH!
Carry this steadiness with you.
As you continue your drive.
And throughout your day.
Thank you.
