How To Stop Your Fear of Flying

Flying may be said to be the safest form of transport. But that doesn't stop you doing everything you can to avoid it.

If the mere thought of flying fills you with a sense of dread and worry, begin by splitting your fear into its component parts and tackle them one by one.

1. Fear of heights

Yeah, planes really do fly high - usually above the clouds and well above any stray birds. With a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet or so, that that counts as high. But once you're on board, you can keep away from that idea, even more so if you're not sat in a window seat. If your fear of heights is the part of your fear of flying that's the strongest "eek" then work on that part of your fear first.

Way back as a child, chances are you were comfortable with heights. So chill a bit and get hold of a fear of heights hypnosis MP3 which will do all the hard work for you and dissolve your fear.

2. Fear of confined spaces

When they stop to think about it, lots of people figure that it's claustrophobia is actually the majority of their flying fear. After all, you're about to be squashed into a tight space for the whole flight. Maybe also surrounded by people sitting on one or both sides. You're not a factory chicken but you're being treated like one. Again, because it works at a deep level and doesn't cost much, tackle your claustrophobia with hypnosis.

3. Lack of control

Now that's a biggie as well. Most of us like to be control of a situation (or thinking we're in control) that when we delegate that responsibility to some random pilot and an in-flight computer, we get worried, big time. Unless you get a pilot's licence, there's not much chance you'll be the pilot. Despite all the disaster movies you've seen. So for a change, try relaxing and remember that the pilot at the front of the plane wants to get to the end of the flight in one piece as well. Let yourself relax and delegate all that responsibility to someone else.

All of these different fears are easily tamed by hypnosis. Get hold of a hypnosis track for the fear that's grabbing you most or you can get a specially designed fear of flying hypnosis MP3 here.
