fear of flying

Who's afraid of flying? Me! I used to love it, but now I am just seriously afraid. I have gone from intrepid explorer, to trembling coward. And I don't think I'm alone in this fear.

So in this episode of the Soul Garden, I look that fear in the face and talk about how I have used the power of ceremony to overcome it, or at least bring down to something manageable! Given how many of us are afraid of flying, I thought it might be helpful to others to share the techniques I have used to deal with this phobia.

Also mentioned is my upcoming course, Soul Medicine for the Midlife Woman.

1973 veröffentlichte die 31jährige US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin Erica Jong einen Roman, der für Aufsehen sorgte: «Angst vorm Fliegen». Ein Welterfolg mit über 20 Millionen verkaufter Exemplare, ein Buch, das einen Nerv traf. Über sie gibt es nun einen Schweizer Dokumentarfilm: «Erica Jong – Breaking the Wall» vom Regisseur Kaspar Kasics.

The topic today was on phobia's. In Dr. Judy MIND MAP style, she analyzed the CAUSE of phobias. Phobias are often a projection of the original trauma that triggers fight flight. For example, sharing with the audience her own fear of public speaking (which she overcame in college) Dr. Judy relates it back to being called "stupid" and how this negative core belief became activated by an elementary school teacher, causing to fear public speaking. Common phobias include Agoraphobia or fear of heights, Fear of Public Speaking, Claustrophobia or Fear of Small Spaces, and Arachnophobia or Fear of Spiders. We even discuss the Fear of Flying where close to 35% of all flight staff has a fear of flying. Phobias are representations of the injuries or wounds of childhood. While some phobias have survival instinct value--fear of heights, fear of small spaces, and other such fears that may mean danger, most phobias are signals that something happened at the CAUSAL level. Techniques such as desensitization (slowly exposing the person to the fear) or flooding (flooding the person with their fear) are some techniques used to conquer fears. If you don't go back to the CAUSE, it is difficult to dismantle the root of the fear. We SHRUNK THAT TUNE: “Phobias,” by The Kinks...
