Cool.

Hope you are enjoying your trip.

Sincerely,

 

ps. I really do enjoy driving and can do it 18-24 hours before needing

s stop. The kinesthetic feel, coupled with visual awareness is good

for me.

Yup - driving is great for the visual brain.

 

I noticed that I get spaced out because I tend to 'throw' my aura or

attention way out in front of me --- (my way of sensing what's ahead.)

I noticed I was spacing-out because of the gap.

 

So, I pulled back my aura by crossing one of my arms over my chest.

(two arms would be better -- but then I'd have to steer with my knee

 

Another good trick is circle eights with your hips - keeps the butt

fatigue/ hip-flexor freeze at bay....

 

Hand at the back of the head is good too. (aren't the visual-points

back there? I think I read that in a Brain Gym book... )

Helen,

I got SO sleepy when I drove back from Medford to Alameda, CA. I kept counting from 1 to 5 loudly over and over figuring it might be a driving trance. It was worse driving in daylight with the sun up than when I drove to Medford mostly in the dark.

 

What you say below sounds like it can be useful in June when I drive back. Thanks.

Mary
