Fear of Flying and Two Easy Ways to Overcome It

January 21st, 2010

A fear of flying isn’t uncommon. To be honest, I think it should be normal. I mean, when you consider you are being hurtled through the upper layers of the atmosphere at enormous speed, in a tin cylinder – who wouldn’t be frightened?

But flying has become so common, that now it’s considered unusual to have a fear of flying. You’re told to snap out of it and given other unhelpful ‘advice’. Advice that you have already considered, but it fails to work for you.

How can you overcome this fear? Taking medication may dull you enough to be able to fly without blind panic, but does nothing to overcome the deep rooted fear.

And being dulled doesn’t help you stay in touch with your intuition. And this, largely ignored emotion, can be your guide, if only you would listen to it.

Meditation can go a long way to help calm you and melt away irrational fears, while keeping you alert and open to your inner feelings. And I encourage everyone to meditate regularly. It doesn’t have to mean sitting in a lotus position and chanting for half an hour. It can be as simple as sitting quietly, closing your eyes, and allowing your mind to drift.

Just a few minutes of this on a regular basis, throughout every day, can do wonders for your overall peace of mind. And you can do it anywhere – in the airport lounge, sitting in the park, on the train, in a taxi, even when you are stuck at traffic lights.

Another great way to help you with any anxiety or fear is to take the Bach flower remedy Rescue Remedy. This is a deep, but gentle way to overcome any fear. And you can’t overdose on Rescue Remedy.

If you are a bit embarrassed by frequently taking a dose, you can put a couple of drops in your water bottle. Them each time you take a sip of water, you also get the remedy.

Over time, your fear of flying will diminish and may disappear altogether.

Homeopathy Addresses Fear and Anxiety

January 13th, 2010

During the time of and shortly after 911, homeopathy became a most powerful tool in addressing fear and anxiety. Many clients, whom I never met, called me from NYC and Washington, D.C. Years later, we are faced with a national economic struggle and the similar phone calls are coming into my office. How can we address the uncomfortable emotions of anxiety and fear via homeopathy?

First, we need to understand that Homeopathy doesn’t treat the symptoms. Instead, it uses the symptoms to find the correct remedy. We must look at how the suffering is experienced. Is the person shaky, restless or talkative? Does he look cowardly, irritable, or upset? The symptoms must be considered. They are our gifts that represent the inner experience of the sufferer. We can ask : Are you depressed? But, our observation can often be more fruitful. This would be shown by not expressing a smile, eyes gazing downward or a furrowed brow. Our observational skills are paramount. When I work with people over the phone, I have learned to pick up on voice nuances to represent the same.

One of the first homeopathic remedies for anxiety after a fear from a market turn or any other similar shock is Aconitum. Aconitum is a remedy for exactly that…shocking news. It is useful for someone who becomes frightened in a crowd, full of anguish, restless, has difficulty concentrating, fears sensations at the heart or fears the dark and darkened rooms. In fact, it is one of our first choices for an impending heart attack. It is also useful for an anxiety that has been locked away in the person’s psyche for many years.

For example, after being robbed at knife point 15 years ago, Katherine found she couldn’t go into crowds. She realized it wasn’t normal and tried meds prescribed by her doctor, but they just made her feel flat. Then she attempted hypnosis. It was innocuous enough, but she simply couldn’t get past the fear. After three days of taking Aconitum, she was able to go to a philharmonic concert without a care. Previous to this, although she was a symphony enthusiast, she simply couldn’t remain seated.

If Aconitum seems remarkable, consider another remedy, Argentum nitricum. It, too, has anxiety, but instead of experiencing it in the heart, this sufferer feels it in the stomach region, particularly at the navel area. This person is always in a hurry, fidgety, scared and must walk quickly until he finds he’s nearly running. He runs and runs until he exhausts himself. This person lives in horrifying fear of impending doom, always anticipating the worst. Digestion becomes a problem and the sufferer can barely eat. Instead, he shakes at the thought of the fears that control him the most.

There are little places in the world where we can turn to assuage the fears that abound. Homeopathy offers this calm cadence. The little pills of homeopathy that are gentle, polite and oh, so powerful can at times of stress become a powerhouse of stillness and comfort. Never addicting, always without side effects and oddly enough, remarkably inexpensive. Join the millions of others throughout the world who have come to depend on the healing power of homeopathy and step into the peace of relief.
