Meditation in the Car

For the first time since I began meditating, life got in the way enough that I couldn’t meditate properly. Around 5pm yesterday I was a passenger in the back seat of my cousin’s car, and the conversation had died down. Rather than wait for an hour or so before I got home, I decided to take this opportunity and meditate there and then.

Obviously meditating in a car is not ideal, but it is certainly possible. There are many more distractions, and I obviously cannot achieve a meditating posture, but it is still practice and most of all it made sure I continued to build meditating as a habit.

Although I’ve cut a couple of meditating sessions short, and I’ve run late for a few, I haven’t missed one session this whole month. And since there are less than 2 days remaining this month, I think I can safetly say I’ve installed it effectively as a habit.
