Be Still & Then Get Going (Car Mini-Meditation)

A brief guided meditation to pause and reconnect with yourself when you get in your car before you begin your journey. This recording offers 90 seconds of stillness before your journey. This short, simple, and sweet practice can be repeated throughout a busy day of errands to accumulate practice!

Transcript

Place your feet flat on the floor of your car. And place your hands on the steering wheel or in your lap. And really feel the support of the seat beneath you. Holding your body. Feeling the contact between your feet and the floor of the car. Letting the body just be. Just for a moment. Feeling perhaps the inhale. Or the exhale. Feeling the breath in the body. Feeling the body in this momentary pause. Just being right here. Just a moment of stillness. Just sitting and breathing. Right here. Right now. Feeling the body in the car. And if you notice any anticipation, Bring your attention back to the feeling of sitting still for just a moment. Feeling the points of contact between the body and the car. Feeling the refuge in the breath. In and out. A subtle movement in a moment of stillness. An opportunity to just be. One more inhale. And one more exhale. And now, On your way.

Perfect to calm and help me to be grounded before heading off in the car thank you 🧚‍♀️💕🧚‍♀️

Love this mini meditation so much!!! 🙏❤️

That was lovely, Joanie! I sometimes have mini-meditations at stop lights and after driving where I focus on sinking into my breath and body before exiting my vehicle. I like adding a pre-drive practice like this. Thanks so much!

What a great way to pause and take a
Moment to recenter.
