Hi, urban spiritual seekers! We know you are trying to reach enlightenment amid chaos, but fear not: you are not alone.

We all indeed want to live in a cozy cottage hidden in the forest. But until that moment comes, we should learn how to be at peace wherever we are.

So, in this article, you will find some tips and tricks on how to raise your vibration while commuting. Sounds interesting? Let’s jump right in!

FIRST OF ALL, CHANGE THE WAY  YOU COMMUTE

If possible, swap the car for a bike or walk. It comes with so many psychological and spiritual benefits.

For instance, biking improves mental health and decreases anxiety, stress, and depression.

On the other hand, walking boosts your energy and improves your overall mood while reducing stress and anxiety.

Better mental health means a higher vibration, but that’s not all!

Walking and biking make it easier to practice mindfulness exercises, connecting you with everything around you!

Besides, you will reduce your carbon footprint, strengthening your connection with Mother Earth.

BECOME A MEDITATION PRO

Hectic commuting makes everyone stressed. Being the Buddha during all that noise sounds like Mission: Impossible, but I assure you it’s not! However, you need to practice.

If you can’t keep your mind at peace in a quiet space, let’s be honest: you won’t do it in the chaos of the city. 

So, you will need to practice. Sit down for five minutes and try to relax your body as much as possible. Stretch, do some breathwork, or do anything that works for you.

Put on some relaxing music if you want. Keep breathing until your mind stops wandering. Focus only on your breath.

It takes time to learn how to meditate and be patient with yourself. Start with five minutes and gradually increase. If you do this daily, you will see how keeping calm becomes easier, even in a chaotic world.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

Doing what you love always raises your vibration. Draw, play peaceful music, read a positive book, or listen to a motivating podcast. 

There are so many things you can do! Feel free to get creative.

MINDFULNESS: CONNECT WITH EVERYONE AROUND YOU

Mindfulness exercises teach you to be right here, right now. This awareness instantly raises your vibration and connects you with higher states of consciousness.

Learn to be present, engage with your senses, and feel what surrounds you. Pay attention to the skies, the grass, the buildings, the people walking, the sounds, textures, scent, and all you can see, Don’t judge: observe.

Do this while you are commuting, and you will feel the difference. When you are in this state of mind, everything changes.

DO NEW THINGS

Novelty impacts your consciousness. Avoid the routine by trying to explore new routes to work, school, etc.

You may go earlier and try a new restaurant, sit down on a park bench, draw, etc.

It’s about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary!

MANTRAS

If you find it hard to keep calm in all the chaos, mantras are the answer. They are like a secret tool to raise your vibration.

Mantras are words of power that influence the body, the mind, and the soul. “Om” is probably the most famous mantra.

Repeat it in your mind when you can’t control the mind. You can also use positive affirmations.

TO WRAP UP

That’s it! Now you know how to raise your vibration while dealing with the hectic commute.

Remember, no matter how noisy and chaotic the city can be, it all comes down to your state of mind.

Wishing you a lovely day!
