So go ahead and get comfortable,
And take in a nice deep breath,
Deep into the belly.
And breathe out any tension,
Any stress,
Anything at all that needs to be let go of.
Go ahead and do that now.
And then just allow yourself to settle into a state of deep relaxation.
And feel your body become heavier with every breath,
As if you're sinking gently into the surface beneath you.
And each breath takes you deeper and deeper into a place of calm,
Where you're safe,
Comfortable,
And completely at ease.
And with every exhale,
Keep letting go of any tension,
Any stress.
Knowing that you're here to create a new,
Positive experience around flying.
And this is your time to focus on building confidence,
Calmness,
And familiarity.
Now imagine yourself at the airport.
The hum of activity surrounds you like a soothing background melody,
Steady and rhythmic.
The light filters in warmly through the large windows,
Creating a welcoming atmosphere.
It feels inviting.
It feels calm.
You notice the polished floors reflecting the glow of the surroundings.
And the gentle murmur of conversation blends harmoniously with the occasional sound of rolling luggage.
See yourself walking confidently through the airport.
Each step feels purposeful,
As if you're moving in sync with the natural flow of the space around you.
You feel prepared.
You feel calm.
And you feel steady.
Each step you take brings a sense of ease and assurance.
You have everything you need,
And the journey ahead feels manageable.
So picture yourself at the security line,
Moving smoothly through each step.
You feel patient and composed,
Observing the process with a calm curiosity,
Like watching a stream flow effortlessly over smooth stones.
And as you walk towards your gate,
Notice how relaxed and grounded you feel.
So now see yourself approaching the gate and boarding the plane.
The sound of the boarding announcements feels calm and inviting,
Like a gentle chime guiding you forward.
And as you step onto the plane,
Notice the steady rhythm of your breathing.
You feel a sense of calm as you find your seat,
Which feels like settling into a cozy space designed just for you.
The seat gives you a sense of support,
Safety,
And comfort.
So just take a moment to adjust and get comfortable in your seat.
You are in complete control of your reactions,
And you allow yourself to feel secure in this space.
And now,
Imagine the sound of the doors closing.
And with that sound,
You feel a wave of calm and certainty washing over you.
Because this is the beginning of your freedom.
The doors closing signify a gateway opening to a new way of being,
A chance to take flight into freedom,
Just like a bird soaring through the sky.
So think about that.
What kind of bird would you be?
And imagine yourself as that bird,
Flying confidently,
With ease and grace.
And with that thought,
The plane begins to move gently away from the gate,
Rolling smoothly towards the runway,
As if the plane is gliding on a soft ribbon of air,
Guided with ease and precision.
You feel at ease,
Knowing that this is the start of your journey.
And as the plane lines up on the runway,
You take a deep breath and feel a sense of excitement.
The engines begin to power up,
Their gentle vibration like the purr of a powerful,
Trusted companion.
And then the plane lifts effortlessly into the air,
Like the bird spreading its wings and catching a warm,
Uplifting current.
You feel light,
Steady,
And safe.
The ascend is smooth,
And you notice how the world below becomes smaller and smaller,
Like a beautiful patchwork quilt laid out beneath you.
You're calm,
At ease,
And completely supported.
And now that you're in the air,
Imagine yourself seated comfortably,
Observing the environment around you.
People excited about their destination,
Speaking to their friends.
Others laying back to sleep.
Others reading or watching movies.
The noise is made,
Muted,
By the gentle hum of the plane.
And it feels soothing,
The sound that surrounds you,
Like the steady rhythm of a heartbeat,
Grounding and reassuring.
The sound becomes a comforting melody,
Reminding you of your own inner calm.
And even if there was a crying child somewhere on the plane,
Or a loud noise being made,
It doesn't bother you.
If anything,
You feel a sense of empathy for the child who wants to be able to run free and play off of the plane.
You feel a sense of unity and community.
Everyone traveling to a destination,
Going through the same motions,
Safe,
Calm.
You pause and you focus on your breath,
In and out.
Each breath grounding you deeper,
Bringing calm,
Clarity.
You think about what a true miracle it is to be able to travel in this easy way.
Relaxing,
Sleeping,
Watching a movie.
Not having to do anything.
Just a few hours,
And you're there.
Now imagine the plane beginning its descent,
And the flight is almost over.
And you feel a sense of accomplishment and ease as you prepare to land.
You put away your things,
You pull the seat back up into an upright position.
Maybe you look out the window with curiosity to see the landscape of your destination.
Seeing buildings slowly come into focus.
And realizing that you've done an amazing thing here today.
You've overcome something that has been a burden for you.
And you're not just arriving at your destination.
You're arriving into a newfound sense of freedom.
You've done it.
And you can easily do it again and again.
And the landing is smooth.
And you hear the familiar sounds of the plane slowing down.
You take a deep breath.
Feeling proud of yourself for this incredible accomplishment.
So visualize the plane reaching the gate.
And you remain seated,
Calm and centered.
Even as others stand up around you,
Gathering their things.
And even if the space feels crowded,
You are rooted in your calmness like a steady tree.
The hum of conversation and movement around you feels like a distant background,
Unable to disturb your inner peace.
And you wait patiently,
Knowing that there is no rush.
And as the doors open,
You imagine yourself standing up and walking off the plane with ease.
Each step feels light,
Confident,
And filled with pride.
Walking through the airport now feels like a celebration of your success.
You've overcome something that once seemed so daunting.
And you feel stronger and more capable than ever.
This moment is more than just a journey's end.
It's a testament to your strength,
Courage,
And resilience.
You've proven to yourself that you can face challenges with calm confidence and emerge victorious.
With each flight,
With each new experience,
This sense of empowerment grows stronger.
You know now that you can handle anything that comes your way,
Facing it with the same calm,
Composed mindset.
And you've done an incredible job here today.
So take a moment to fully embrace this feeling of triumph,
Of liberation,
Of stepping into your power.
You've shown yourself how capable and resilient you truly are.
And each time you listen to this recording,
Your confidence will grow.
The experience will feel more and more familiar.
And you will find it easier to remain calm and composed in every step of your journey.
And so whenever you're ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggling your fingers and toes,
And take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Open up your eyes,
Feeling refreshed,
Confident,
And proud of what you've achieved.
