It's a wonderful feeling to be up there above the clouds,
flying over the world - but if you're afraid of flying then your mind will be
distracted from the excitement and focused entirely upon the fantasized imminent
danger...
“Imagine now that the day has come for your flight - your cases and bags are
packed ready and loaded into the car - you’ve checked to make sure you’ve got
everything you need - tickets, money, travelers cheques, passport - everything
is in order. You’re already beginning to feel excited - remember when you were a
child how you couldn’t sleep the night before your birthday, or Christmas, or
holidays - that wonderful feeling of anticipating that something good is going
to happen - just remember that feeling. And imagine yourself in the car (or
train) on your way to the airport - notice who is with you - where you are
sitting, what you are wearing - allow yourself to become really absorbed in that
lovely holiday feeling.
And all the time you feel really good inside. Something special is happening to
you - you’re about to visit strange lands, the world is such an incredible place
and its amazing to think that whilst you are here right now - in just a short
space of time you can be thousands of miles away.
Now see yourself at the airport - having your luggage weighed and taken away on
the conveyor belt, and you make your way to the boarding area.
And on the way to the boarding area you purchase a book, which looks really
interesting, and you’re holding that book in your hand as your flight number is
called out and you board the plane.
Now you’re in your seat, with your family (or friends) close by, your book in
your lap, your seat belt already fastened - and you’re still feeling really good
inside.
And shortly the plane begins to move along the runway - gaining speed until it
lifts up in the air, you are leant back in your seat, perhaps sucking a mint or
a sweet with your book open on your lap.
And you begin to read the book, becoming quickly absorbed in its contents, and
still feeling incredibly good inside.
When you look out of the window you’re way above the clouds and the plane glides
smoothly through the sky and it feels amazing up here, above the earth, good
feelings inside you - incredible feelings, calm and tranquil feelings - and the
hostess soon comes around with the food and drinks and you enjoy your meal
before reading some more of your book.
In-between talking and eating and reading you manage a short sleep and dream that
you’re already there - enjoying your holiday - feeling good, holiday feelings.
And before you know it the plane is descending and your ears may feel strange
for a while but you know that they’ll soon be fine again - and you land with a
slight bump and the plane continues along the runaway until eventually it slows
down - and stops - and you really enjoyed that flight - so much so that you’re
already looking forward to making the return trip, for you know that everything
will be fine. You really enjoyed the flight, it made you feel good.
And because you’re prepared in your mind - your flight will go almost exactly
the way you’ve imagined it - the good feelings, especially, will be stronger
than that. And you’ll really enjoy this flight. You’re okay, you feel fine, you
feel good and confident and in control.
And every time you travel in the future you will be eager to fly in a plane.
You’ll be surprised, at how much you enjoy yourself - and the world is your
oyster now - you can really begin to enjoy yourself.
