Zen Driving Meditation Technique
from:Is the rat race eating into your spiritual evolution? Are you
finding less time to do your meditation, yoga and other
spiritual practices? Never fear Zen driving meditation is here.
Unfortunately for many of us, work, family, education and more
work seems to be consuming our lives. The worst part of this
hectic life-style is that the one aspect which should not
suffer, does. Our spiritual growth. In this article I will
present you with a terrific meditation technique that you can do
while driving or while in transit. This should, hopefully, help
you in getting your spiritual work back on track and enjoying
the marvelous benefits that such work bestows.
In America we drive a lot, and even those who don't drive a lot,
often take trains and buses as part of their daily life. This
"idle" time presents us with a great opportunity to get in some
meditation work and there are many meditations that can
conveniently be done during this time.
An obvious warning of course is that please DO NOT practice this
meditation if it distracts you in any way from your driving.
Zen meditation techniques all have their roots in mindfulness or
being in the moment. This meditation technique is no different
and is also designed to help you come into the "here and now" as
much as possible. Below is a step by step guide of how to
practice this meditation. It is given assuming you are driving,
but can easily be extrapolated to other modes of transportation.
Meditation Tip: Driving Zen Meditation Technique
- Start the meditation by taking 5 long deep slow breaths. This
will relax you.
- Now, bring your attention to your breathing and just observe
its flow without manipulating it in any way. Meditate on it's
physical characteristic as closely as you can. Feeling it's
temperature, texture, depth etc. Continue this meditation for
1-5 minutes. This will settle your mind down.
- Now begins the heart of this meditation. Begin to watch the
scenery go by as you drive with an unfocused, holistic gaze. In
other words, let your vision relax, incorporate the periphery
and without any point of focus just observe the world as you
journey through it. Just observe the trees, sky, clouds, houses,
cars as they pass by. Just be empty within and allow the world
to pass through you. That's it.
- To add another component to this meditation technique,
whenever you come to a stop return your attention to your breath
and then when moving, meditate once more on the scenery.
- If at any time driving requires your focused attention please
stop the meditation and pay attention to your driving.
Commentary on Driving Zen Meditation Technique
This meditation technique has the ability to reveal to you the
True Nature of Reality. Etched in my mind are occasions where
the absolute perfection of life and the moment, were fully
realized while practicing this technique. This meditation was
one that just came to me naturally and I am happy to share it
with all of you.
