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 embracing the lessons that fear had to offer. 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Matthew Wikler, M.D.:
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.

Shinzen Young, Director, 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!

Captain William H. Noyes, Hawaiian Airlines:
Many thanks for your great efforts! I have been advising my
passengers to use your techniques.I have more relaxed passengers now.

Pucci Meyer, 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.

Belleruth Naparstek:
This terrific program combines mindfulness, imagery and
body awareness to gently relax the merely worried, and
dramatically desensitize the truly terrified. KRS's
excellent, trustworthy voice and well-scored music amount
to a first-rate-production by a master of the craft. Tracks
are segmented for each travel phase,but blend together
easily for one complete meditation. A superb resource.

Awareness Magazine:
In this day and age where even the most savvy traveler may
be wary of getting on a plane, KRS Edstrom has put together
the perfect preflight prepare yourself meditation CD. I
strongly recommend this relaxing CD for every seasoned
traveler and for the first timer; well worth the ride!

Emily Halligan:
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.

Denise Dador, Kabc TV:
Coach Madden should get this audio in his Christmas stocking!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can FLY now!!, July 14, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Fly Without Fear: Guided Meditations for a Relaxing Flight (Audio CD)

I listened to this CD at least once per day - sometimes twice a week before I had to fly for something related to my job. I have been so afraid that I have been avoiding flying for years. I had even grown so fearful of flying that just thinking about it got me upset. Listening to this CD taught me how to manage my fear and release it. Even when we were told to turn off electronic equipment on the flight, I was able to use the techniques I learned with this CD to stay calm and comfortable.

I won't say that I was not nervous at all, but I was far from terrified, and not upset. I was able to manage my feelings and enjoy myself and make it to my destination without drinking down any tiny bottles, if you know what I mean.

I CAN FLY!!! I CAN FLY!! I can't believe that I can fly - the world just opened up to me again and I am looking forward to seeing beautiful places! I am so grateful for this CD!
