Overcoming FearStory from B.DI have just returned from a trip to QLD with my husband and two teenagers. While we were there we visited Wet & Wild, Dream World, Sea World and Movie World. All these attractions offering us rides that would have, once upon a time, freaked me out at the thought of going on them. At your seminar… you said “the only difference between fear and excitement was a deep breath”. So I practiced going to my P.P and deep breathing and had the time of my life. At one stage I was dangling upside down 20m in the air over a pool of water – what a sensation. I even went back for a second go on this ride. So thank you very much. For me it was a very significant achievement.Story from R.L, NSWSince doing the CALM Seminar I have been practising my PP and I really got the opportunity to test it out when I discovered I had to get some extensive dental treatment. Since childhood I've always been terrified of dental visits, the worst moment being seeing and feeling the needle - I used to often faint. This time, however, before the injection I went to my PP and felt totally relaxed and happy, even during the injection and right through the treatment. I've attended several personal development seminars over the past few years and with-out doubt your seminar was the most valuable and life changing one for me. Story from J.PMy challenge was claustrophobia. I couldn't stand being in a crowd, let alone locked up. Lifts were a no! no! I practised with Peaceful Place, goals and the Letting go Fear tape. I rehearsed the accomplishment of my challenge inside my mind and then I tested it. I got into a lift and pressed 10th floor. More people got in. By the 3rd floor it was full and overflowing. Peaceful Place - Breathe - Peaceful Place - Breathe - Peaceful Place - Breathe. I made it and I feel great. Story from P.SI am very excited about it and practice going to my P.P heaps of times, listen to Infinite Joy and do the left/right brain and lazy 8 exercises, etc. These have helped me cope in a particularly stressful time. Recently, the opportunity came for a 10 day holiday in Perth with my husband. It helped me greatly to program myself for 10 days before the flight, using my Anchor, telling myself that “I’d love to fly and see the world and that I have a great sense of adventure”. On my Perth trip, I felt a great sense of adventure everywhere we went, and it was a really happy and fun time for me. One particular challenge I faces was a 1.5 hour walk through Warren Caves, a long way underground. I felt very much not like tackling this one – but knowing I had such a powerful tool with me – my ANCHOR – my great sense of adventure, I spent a couple of hours before going through the caves telling myself continuously “I love going through caves and have a great sense of adventure”. I was extremely edgy when I first started in the caves – I kept using my Anchor and taking deep breaths. Eventually I felt reasonably relaxed and was so pleased that I had faced the challenge and won .Story from ?.?I had never been in an aeroplane because I got sick at just the thought of booking a flying holiday. In the last 8 months using PP and the Letting go Fear tape I have now been in an aeroplane 6 times! Story from R.FI would fly when necessary but that was only a few times. I have no desire to go on holidays, just the thought of going into a travel agent would frighten me. My husband was taking holidays with friends and me gladly dropping him off at the airport. As long as I didn’t have to get on that ‘thing.’ I enrolled in a fear of flying course which enabled me to find out more about the mechanics of the plane and some relaxation methods. I even took a flight after that (flying high on scotch and coke) resulting in the flight attendant asking me to keep my voice down as people were trying to sleep, plus a few days of ‘jetlag’ or was it ‘hangover’. And then the agony of knowing I had to get back on that ‘thing’ again to come home. Another time I took sleeping pills.... they had the reverse effect.... I was wide awake glued to my seat, knuckles white clutching the arm rests for four and a half hours, watching every move the flight attendants made. I lost two days either side of my trip because I had to get some sleep. Last year my sister told me about the book Piece of Mind, so I read it, then she informed me that Sandy was coming to Perth. I attended his seminar and decided that I had nothing to lose. I practised my Peaceful Place every chance I got and listened to the ‘Overcoming Fear’ tape at least once a day. I have taken 3 trips since, which means I’ve been on a plane six times in a period of 6 months. I now have many more goals to achieve. Thank you Sandy for passing on a positive and encouraging way of life.Story from R.T, VicHeres an example to you of how fast your techniques work.......I am typically a nervous flyer and I usually have a lot of self talk going on about......... the plane crashing or........ we're up too high or ........ what if that engine drops off........ Is the pilot OK......... how can he see through this cloud....... Are we about to fly into a mountain, etc etc....... makes me feel agitated and tense. But on the trip back I was able to use my peaceful place, combined with the goal of...."I enjoy flying..... flying is fun"........ Not one negative thought was able to break through this.... no self talk describing mid air plunges etc........ I felt totally relaxed and even enjoyed the bumpy sensations as we dropped thru the cloud cover into the airport. Sandy's E-Report - Links to Seminar/Shopping
