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!

Fly Without Fear: Guided Meditations For A Relaxing Flight is an impressive and effective 73 minute audio program to ease the fear of flying. KRS Edstrom's guided meditations are enhanced with soothing music and empower the anxious traveler to release anxieties associated with the experience and thought of flying. Strongly recommended for anyone with air travel tensions, Fly Without Fear is organized into ten segments: Dress Rehearsal (practicing fear releasing skills in the days preceding a flight); Soothing Meditation for Boarding & Waiting (calming pre-flight nerves while awaiting takeoff); Fearless Take-Off (enjoying the freedom of flight); In-Flight Relaxation Vacation (transforming fears and anxieties into tranquility - tracks 4-9 in-flight meditations); Tension-Release Meditation (releasing fear from the mind and body); Breath Awareness Meditation (staying "grounded" in that act of breathing); Mindfulness Meditation (creating a private, personal retreat); Relaxing Visualization (an "enchanting magic carpet ride"); Loving Kindness Meditation (warming the heart and soul); Smooth Landing Meditation (arriving with a calm mind and peaceful spirit).

This is a must have for fearful flyers. Her voice is soothing and comforting and confident. I highly recommend this CD. Simply listen to it in the car and your flight will be smoother!

I bought this CD in an attempt to diminish the anxiety and stress I usually experience before and during flights. It arrived one day before a connecting flight I was supposed to take (two take offs & two landings the same day!) and I was so relieved to see it because I had read good things about it and I was confident it will work for me as well. The truth is it didn't. It is totally useless from my point of view, because it lacks the logical approach in aiding the fearful flier. It's all about breathing and curling your toes, and I did try all that, but at the first sign of turbulence (even the lightest of those) I was horrified and turned off my iPod to look for better comfort. Besides, for safety reasons you can't use the recording during takeoff and landing, which are some of the worst moments a fearful flier may experience. So you're left with learing the breath-curl routine and supposedly practise it at these times.

If you need knowledge to conquer your fears, this CD is not for you. I recommend you buy a book that guides you through all the usual occurences of a flight. I found one that even explains all the noises you should hear (at the specific moments when they occur), or the dynamics of the wings for dummies and so many other useful pieces of information that can really help in dealing with your fears.

A definite no no for me.

An absolute must have for those suffering from aviatophobia (fear of flying). I bought this cd about a week before my flight and I didn't start using it until the day before my flight. I took it with me and listened to it while waiting to board the plane, waiting for take-off, in-flight and landing. It was excellent! I just downloaded it into my IPod and listened to each track as I needed. The total CD is about 73 minutes but just listen to the track that you need the most and repeat it as needed. It totally soothed my nerves and calmed me down. For the first time, I didn't feel my stomach in my throat! I highly recommend it!

This was purely wonderful. It was the best teaching on how to deal with stress that I have ever found and I have a collection of them. It truly gives you tools. If you are anxious, you need tools that you can take with you. This little ,inexpensive CD gives it to you. GET IT.you will not be sorry

Your calm soothing voice and reassuring words of guidance have helped someone who will always have a irrational fear of flying!! This CD helps alot!!!!

I've used KRS'CD for pre-flight and on-flight jitters. This CD is one of the best relaxation aids I've found for flying discomfort. The meditations are right-on, every sentence supporting the strength we have inside, while dissipating nervousness. I love her voice and her no-nonsense style.
Highly recommended!

The tools for dealing with your fears are really good on this CD. The author offers lots of reassuring logic and many great skills for coping. My only complaint is that at 73 minutes it was too long for me to listen to daily. I listened to this a few times, and used Glenn Harrolds' Overcome the Fear of Flying CD for 2 weeks before my last flight, and I was a changed person. I didn't even need to use the calming exercises, as I was not particularly stressed by the experience of being on a plane.

I hadn't flown in 14 years due to alot of fear and panic I had about flying. I will be honest I didnt think anything would work but read the reviews and I thought I would give it a try, Let me tell you the CD works. I listened to it 2-3 times a day for about a month before my trip and the day of the trip I listened to it before I got on the plane. I had no fear and I flew all the way to California without even having to listen to it on the plane. I feel so empowered and Im getting ready to take another trip in the next month. If anyone doubts this CD wont work take it from me, I would get panic just trying to book a flight and now I know I can fly. Im so grateful for krs edstrom,ms for having this CD. I wish I would of gotten it sooner but Im so happy I got rid of my fear if flying. Stacey Bartmess, Mission Kansas
