Fear of Flying (pt. 2 of 3)

Turbulence

Our hypnotherapy clients who suffered from a fear of flying often spoke to us about Turbulence.  So this hypnosis video blog post is all about laughing at turbulence.  Is it OK if we get a little silly?  Is it alright if we laugh in the face of that old fear?  Can we have some fun while making change in our lives?  Let's do it.

Turbulence Fun Fact:
The Federal Aviation Administration requires that all planes be tested for wing flexibility.  You see, the wings of a plane naturally flex when gusts of wind come along, because it makes for a smoother flight.  Those little flexes are rarely noticed by the passengers, until turbulence comes along and makes the wings work a bit harder. 

The minimum required wing flexibility in these FAA tests is set so high that if you multiplied the most wing-flex that's ever been needed to make it through actual in-flight turbulence SEVEN TIMES OVER, you would start to reach it.  And that's the minimum!  Some planes are built with even greater flexibility, like the Boeing 777 in the video.

So what can you do to overcome fear of flying?

From the first post in this series, you already know that one way to stabilize your emotions through turbulent times is by having the nutritional support that helps your body feel calm. 

That's a great start.  The other tips offered in the video above are: 

1.  Sleep on the plane - some people seem to have struggled with this, but there are so many ways you can make it easier.  First of all, bring a full-size pillow on board with you and dress with layers so that you'll always be at the right temperature.  Then, bring along your iPod and load it up with some really soothing music (there is a form of music that creates calm and deep states of meditation - which is a great lead-in to sleep - called Entrainment Music.  It's fantastic!)  Learning to relax the body using self-hypnosis is also great.  Check out our free Stress Buster mp3, which teaches you exactly how to do that!

2.  Make a game out of it - we here at Downloads For Change love to have fun while we're creating change in our lives.  Why not?  It doesn't immediately diminish those fearful feelings because you're thinking about laughing at them . . . or does it?  Let's play a game with turbulence, and then you can comment on the blog to tell us how it went, OK?  Be sure that you ask for "the rest of the can" if you're on an airline that only serves you one cup.  That way, if turbulence comes along, you can quickly fill up your cup, start smiling, and then hold the cup out in front of you and see if you can go the entire time without spilling a drop.  Silly, right?  It works! 

The Lifestyle Action Steps that come as a bonus with all of our hypnosis mp3 audio downloads are full of more fun and creative ways to create the life you're choosing to live now.
