The fear of flying can be completely debilitating, and change your life. If you anxiety is bad enough it can stop you from visiting family and friends you love, and even keep you in one place for the rest of your life.
Now is the time to push this fear out of your life, and move forward in a positive direction-the only person being bound by your fear is you. It doesn't matter if you are afraid of flying, heights, swimming, or spiders, the root is the same.
Thus, you can generally treat almost all phobias through the same methods. One method, called the Sedona Method, has become increasingly popular.
This method teaches that anything that we are afraid of happening, we actually have a subconscious desire for or expectation of happening. Based on this premise, you may find the following exploration helpful for releasing your reactions to what is going on in the world, and for releasing your fears in general.
Make yourself comfortable and focus inwardly. Begin by bringing to mind something about which you feel afraid or anxious-you may want to start with something small-in order to see exactly what it is that you are afraid is going to happen.
Give yourself a moment to notice whether there is a strong feeling of fear at the moment, or a very light hint of it. It does not matter which it is: simply observe and welcome it.
Now, ask yourself: could you let go of wanting this to happen? Or could you let go of expecting this to happen?
The question may have made you laugh. Try asking the question again, and notice what else you discover.
In fact, you may already be able to discern a difference. So, focus on that same thing you are afraid of, or on something else, and then go through a series of questions for releasing fear in this simple way.
Once you have gotten over the shock of the fact that you somehow want a negative thing to happen, it's often very easy to let go of the fear in this way. Consciously, it is not truly what you want.
If you get stuck on any particular phobia and are having a hard time letting it go, simply welcome the feeling as best you can and then let go of wanting to change it. Then go back to experimenting with this shortcut.
Again, focus on something that you fear. It could be the same thing or it could be something else.
Notice exactly what it is that you are afraid will happen. Focus again on that same thing, or on something else that you do not want to have happen, on something that you worry about, or on something that makes you nervous.
Check how you feel inside. Wasn't it easy to let go in that way?
This process will help you clear out the hidden recesses of your subconscious mind. After you release something that you have subconsciously wanted to happen, you will see a tremendous difference in your life in many areas, including how you feel.
Have fun experimenting with this shortcut on your own. Add this little trick to your toolbox of Sedona Method applications and enjoy the results.
It is great for those occasions when fearful thoughts arise in your consciousness, but you do not have enough time to do an in-depth process. Whenever you become aware of yourself thinking about an unwanted outcome, simply let go of wanting it to happen by asking yourself the question: could you let go of wanting or expecting that to happen?
As you use this method, you will find over time that the very situations and experiences that you used to find the most exhausting or disturbing will become less and less so, until you may even forget that you used to have those kinds of experiences. You may not suddenly become excited at the thought of hopping on a plane, but over time, you will be able to do it.
This will bring a freedom into your life you may not have been able to imagine before. Think of how that will feel!
Picture yourself being able to travel anywhere you want to, without any anxiety, tears, shaking, upset stomach, or hyperventilating. You may find that an entirely new world opens up to you!
