Commute Mindfully

Is your daily commute a boring grind? Whatever your mode of travel - whether by foot, car, or public transportation, you can find enjoyment and calm in the present moment. Make the most of routine travel with mindfulness and sensory awareness. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI who spent eight years translating Tibetan Buddhist texts before getting his Ph.D. in neuroscience. He’ll lead you through a gentle meditation that helps you safely experience your commuting journey through feeling, seeing, and hearing. Finally, you’ll set an intention to apply sensory awareness throughout the rest of your day. After this course, you’ll be better able to capture awareness in routine moments, whether you are moving to a destination or standing still.
