Accessing Resources for Empowerment

Visualize your way out of a fear of flying

National Post Published:  Wednesday, June 18, 2008

For some, "fear of flying" has a more direct meaning than Erica Jong's 1970s feminist novel. Thoughts of airplanes, flights, even the airport, are a source of great anxiety. Others have different stresses, trouble sleeping, or trouble relaxing. Edward Leyton, a physician and psychotherapist based in Kingston, Ont., has put his many years of experience in the field of relaxation therapy onto a series of self-help "empowering" CDs. In simple, direct language and a reassuring tone, Leyton guides the listener through visualization and relaxation exercises to reach a state of greater calm, whatever the cause. The CDs, available for sale through his website, www.arfe.ca, include the titles Learn to Unwind, Learn to Sleep Peacefully and, yes, Learn to Enjoy Your Flight.
