REVIEWS & QUOTES:
New York Post:
“If aviatophobia (fear of flying) is keeping you from your dream vacation, KRS Edstrom may be able to help. Her CD, ‘Fly Without Fear’ - is designed to walk trembling travelers through an entire simulated trip, from boarding to landing.” - Pucci Meyer, New York Post
DMX Inflight:
“If the thought of boarding a plane makes you queasy, ‘Fly Without Fear’ by KRS Edstrom will help you regain your confidence. Sure, we all know logically that flying on a jet is safer than driving in your car. Unfortunately we don’t all believe it. Accompanied by a gentle musical background, Edstrom methodically rebuilds your desire to fly, starting at the ticket counter. Then you get on the plane and take off. While you’re in the air, you confront rather than avoid your trepidations, and she explains how to relax while you’re traveling. It’s a CD you can listen to before or during your flying experience, and if you have children who have developed a fear of flying, play it for them. KRS Edstrom could even calm down a strong cup of coffee.
- Doug Ordunio, Senior Producer DMX Inflight
Vipassana Support Institute:
A Chinese Zen master once said ‘The average person is used 24 hours a day. The person of Zen uses 24 hours a day.’ Traveling by air represents a natural window of opportunity to cultivate and apply meditation skills. KRS Edstrom’s ‘Fly without Fear’ shows you how to transmute the nervousness, impatience or just plain boredom associated with air travel into relaxation, energy and even insight. Bon Voyage! - Shinzen Young, director, Vipassana Support Institute
Prodigy Travel Section:
"Fly Without Fear" provides practical and eminently useful methods and techniques to achieve a greater measure of relaxation."
Fearful Flyers:
“Thank you for relieving a normally stress-filled situation for me. I literally drifted off the plane, having floated down like a feather. Even my ears were unscathed – no pain or popping! Now that’s what I call relaxed.” - Emily Halligan
“I am a frequent airline traveler who has a fear of flying, especially in less than favorable weather conditions. I found listening to KRS Edstrom’s program to be most effective in overcoming my anxiety. It’s not just the words she says, but it’s how she says them that makes it so effective. I have tried numerous other audios to no avail. Despite the turbulence from a thunderstorm we encountered, I remained completely relaxed. In fact, I actually fell asleep during the flight – a first for me.” - Matthew Wikler, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:
A Welcome Travel Tool For Fearful Flyers!
Fly Without Fear is a powerful audio CD from stress expert KRS Edstrom, creator of relaxation programming for the airlines, which provides a unique and highly effective program to free you from your fear of flying. Accompanied by soothing music, Edstrom’s guided meditations empower you to release the anxiety associated with flying and more...
This exceptional "get results" CD includes calming meditations for boarding, take-off, in-flight and landing along with a desensitizing pre-flight "dress rehearsal" exercise. Fly Without Fear is a welcome travel tool that transforms an anxious flight into a "Spa-in-the-Sky." Added bonus - this CD imparts skills that you can apply to any fear or phobia for the rest of your life!
Fly Without Fear includes techniques that are easily internalized and tailored for your individual needs. The skills become part of your very nature because they are simply reminding your body and mind of what they innately already know but have forgotten on a fork in the road called Fear.
There is no need for fear to have a hold on you any longer. Your new skills will forever alter your relationship to fear, transforming you from a victim of fear to a master of fear. And while it may not mean much to you at this moment (when your immediate concern is to fly without fear), realize that your journey in overcoming the fear of flying is serving an even deeper purpose.
Your journey through fear is cleaning out the “basement” of your consciousness, tending to corners and issues that would most probably been left unattended for your entire lifetime. Fear has brought you to a new place. Recognize it as a unique opportunity to evolve your self, your spirit.
A PERSONAL NOTE FROM KRS:
It seems that fear either cripples us or impels us to resource everything we know and then stretch beyond even that to unexplored areas – areas that, once visited, seem hauntingly familiar. After a nine-year fear-induced hiatus from flying, I once again discovered the value of going into the dark. Some of my most meaningful spiritual experiences have since occurred, appropriately enough, high above the earth’s busyness, just on the other side of fear. May fear serve the purpose of elevating you to higher ground in more ways than one.
EXCERPT:
From Track One:
Soothing Meditation for Boarding & Waiting for Take-Off –Calming Pre-Flight Nerves for a Relaxing Trip
[With a background of relaxing music designed to facilitate an enjoyable experience]
"As you are preparing to board, appreciate that an invention such as this plane exists that can so quickly take you to your desired destination. How lucky we are to have this convenience. This perspective is not only the truth but it will help reframe your thinking about flying.
Focus your attention now on your breath as you let your shoulders drop and relax. Take a complete breath – first exhaling all the air out of your lungs...and then inhaling slowly, filling your lungs from bottom to top.
Notice any release throughout your body as you now let your breath settle in to a soothing rhythm of its own. Enjoy the calming effect of observing your breath...in...and out...you may even enjoy a sense of merging with your breath, becoming one with it...in...and out...inhaling and exhaling... Good.
Whenever you get pulled out of yourself, distracted by what is going on around you or by fearful thoughts, simply remember to keep returning to your inner world of calm..."
