Here's how these skills have helped others with a fear of flying...

"While I must confess that I am still not as comfortable in a plane as I am in my living room (especially during turbulence), I cannot believe the difference in my response to flying -- and neither can my friends and family who have had the misery of flying with me before. I attribute it all to your course and thought you should know the great job you have done."

"Prior to using your skills, I flew frequently but not as often as business really required or as much as I would have liked for pleasure trips. Furthermore, I felt compelled to drink or otherwise 'medicate' myself heavily before and during the flights. Now I plan business flights when needed, even in the morning, and know that I will be sober and capable of working after I land. I can, have and will continue to plan more frequent pleasure trips, especially to San Francisco where my brother, sister-in-law and newborn nephew reside."

"I've just flown from Chicago to Palm Springs. Admitted, the flights were very smooth, but my wife was absolutely amazed at how calm I was. The breathing exercises helped a great deal, plus my new-found knowledge about how jets level off, throttle back, etc., during ascent was comforting as well."

"After a round trip to Minneapolis, I know I can fly again. And how nice to be able to get a vacation out of a long weekend! What a great Christmas present!"

"I've just returned from a trip to New Orleans and found the flying was much easier and I was able to control my fears."

"I want to thank you once again for all that you have done for me. Overcoming my fear of flying is my greatest personal victory in life and I thank you for showing me how to do it."

"Thanks a million!! I can fly again!"

"Greetings from 32,000 feet cruising altitude! I am calm and alcohol-free! Words can never express the gratitude I feel. Thank you for giving me the tools to help myself!"

"We've had a great four days here in San Francisco. Headed back to Texas today. I am really looking forward to flying again. Life is much easier to be free of all that mental anguish."

"Not one, but two flights to get here on Kauai. I actually enjoyed the flights and I expect to enjoy the one coming home. Hallelujah! Your help really turned this part of my life around. Thanks a million. Aloha. Mahalo."

"It really does get a little easier each time! It's wonderful to feel myself healing, step by step. I think I'll actually enjoy my vacation rather than just worry about the flight home!"

"Thank you for helping me get over being a terrified flyer."

"What can I say. This is the most wonderful trip. Thank you very much for all your help. Without these skills I'd still be at home."

"I took my flight to Baltimore for Thanksgiving. I really was able to sit back and enjoy it. Some very simple skills from your program had a tremendous impact on me. It was a confidence booster to fly relaxed."

"I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I have gotten from your materials. I have cured my fear of flying. The breathing skills are like magic. I begin using them and I feel better instantly. On my flight to New Orleans last week I sat back and actually felt relaxed on the plane for the first time in years. Thanks for sharing in a positive way that fears can be conquered."

"I did great on my flight to New Mexico. I still can't believe I'm really doing this. I am so grateful. And my family is so proud of me. But most of all I feel like I'm on top of the world. Like I was cripple and now I can walk."

"My flight to Chicago was great! And I know my future flights will only get better."

"I am delighted that I no longer need to avoid far-away travel. Thank you for helping me conquer my fears."

"Having been a fearful flier for three years, you cannot imagine how many avenues I pursued -- not to mention dollars spent -- to find help. Your program not only got me to fly, but I did so more comfortably than I had prior to my non-flight, fearful years! You can't imagine what it has done for my self-esteem, confidence, and my ability to function "normally" again in my job."

"Learning about the details of the flight has been quite helpful: all of the noises that most people take for granted but were at the heart of my fears, the condensed version of the physics involved, and the common misconceptions that I believed to be true. By reviewing the maintenance and the training schedules, you gave me confidence in the system behind the airlines. And special thanks for giving me the tools to help me deal with my anxieties and fears. I have flown four times since using your materials and the improvement is amazing! I did not suffer the usual pre-flight anxiety that crippled me for up to a week before take-off and I did not succumb to the panic that turned the actual flight into a nightmare. Instead I practiced the breathing and imagery skills which helped me to control my tensions. I'm even calmer than my husband is now. Thank you very much."
