by Brian Byrne. The RAC in Britain is suggesting that drivers should spend up to 15 minutes a day in meditation while in their cars, which the organisation suggests would both improve their personal health and the environment.
The RAC Foundation says that spending such time in quiet contemplation or meditation when driving results in an increase in energy levels, greater creatively, higher sexual potency and the willingness to strive to meet challenges.
It can also help in terms of building up a plan for the workday ahead or de-stressing on the way home.
The study concluded that if a driver gets into the right frame of mind, they can actually finish their daily journey in a more serene state than when they began it.
Driving more carefully also cuts dangerous emissions by reducing fuel consumption, which ultimately also means financial savings.
