Energy, Traffic & Cars - oh my!

Filed Under: Barbara's Bleep
Written by Students & Staff

We all spend a lot of time in our cars, driving from place to place, dealing with traffic and our own thoughts at the same time. Have you ever noticed already being at your next destination, making up excuses for being late while you’re stuck behind a slow car, truck or a red light? I recently caught myself making up a dramatic story in my head and it inspired me to write this article.

Over the past years I’ve been practicing being more aware of my energy while driving. I used to look at every driver, practically sit in their lap driving; my energy was wandering into their space and distracting them. I would notice people losing their sense of control but wasn’t aware that I was the cause. It felt normal to just jump into other drivers’ space and energy fields.

Thanks to my training at the Center and especially during my teacher training I’ve become much more conscious about my energetic field and other people’s fields. I started to practice being grounded, running my energy and owning my space while driving; even if I am late or rushing. I even ground my car and when a car is tailgating me I ground the car and driver behind me.

Two years ago I drove all night to California. My friend Anita fell asleep outside of Albuquerque, so it was up to me to stay focused and awake. I connected myself and the car to the Center of the Earth (grounding) and started running earth and cosmic energies. I drove smiling through the darkness, feeling like there is just me and the road!!!

So next time you catch yourself getting frustrated in traffic, think of this bleep and smile. Create a grounding cord from your tailbone down to the center of the earth, breathe deep and on the exhale release. It’s amazing how fast this stuff works!!!

Peace, Barbara
